I don't own Ghost Whisperer
Jim started moving around in the bed, he woke up and gently grabbed my hand
I woke up and smiled, tears still running down my face
"Hey, how are you feeling?" I said looking scared. Was this the last time I was going to talk to Jim?
"I've been better. I'm not worried about me, are you OK? Did they hurt you?"
I shook my head no, "I was screaming the whole time" I gave a small smile, "As soon as...you went down the police showed up"
Jim smiled back and kissed my hand, "Thank God. I was so scared" He looked around, "I thought I heard you yelling that there was somebody in our house?"
I nodded, "Someone broke into the bathroom, but the cops got him, he was trying to hide in the closet." I looked into his eyes, "Jim I don't want to go back without you" Tears started welling up in my eyes again
Jim pulled my hair behind my ear, "I know, it's ok. I promise you won't ever go in that house without me"
I burst into tears putting my head down, thinking of what the doctor told me earlier
It could be a bit risky if he was going to make it or not
Jim looked at me confused, "What? What's wrong?"
I wanted to tell Jim, but I felt he was already to scared as it is being in the hospital with me crying at his bedside. So I quickly said something
"I'm just really scared. I want you out of here. I'd rather I be in this bed then you" I squeezed his hand
"No. Don't wish that. I'm glad it's me and not you. I don't know what I would do without you in my life. I wouldn't be able to live" Jim squeezed back
The doctor came in, of course with his clipboard and all
"Hello. How are you feeling Mr. Clancy?" He came closer to the foot of the bed
"I'm fine. When can I get out?" Jim sat up but then shutting his eyes tightly shut showing pain
"Mr. Clancy, you'll have to go through surgery first" The doctor said looking down then up as he said this
"What's wrong?"
"Well you were shot in the ribs, and the bullet is stuck in between them. Also-"
I quickly stood up, "Doc, can I talk to you outside..now" I started walking out the door
"Of course, the doctor started behind me"
"Don't tell him that it could be risky if he'll make it or not. That would be stupid to tell him! Just say we need to go into surgery right now and you'll be out of here in no time" I said in attitude
"I understand completely"
We walked back in. I smiled at Jim taking my seat by him again grabbing his hand
"So when is the offical surgery?" Jim asked
"As soon as possible. I'll try and get early tomorrow morning" The doctor nodded
"Thank you" I said
He nodded again and walked out closing the door behind him
Jim let out a deep breath, "Well shit" He looked over at me
"I'm sorry Jim. I should've never asked you to move in with me. This would've never happen if it wasn't for me"
"Melinda, don't say that! If I wasn't there you probably would've gotten killed! You asking me to live with you was the best choice ever" He smiled
I smiled back. Then I got this urge to talk about marriage
"When we're married Jim everything is going to be different..I promise"
Jim shot his head toward me, "Married?"
"Um..yeah.?" I looked confused, weren't we going to get married?
"Mel, I don't know if we'll get married. I know we're on our own and living together and everything but..." Jim looked down
What the hell is he saying! How can he have the guts to say this to me? He's breaking my heart every word I hear.
"But...We've been together for so long, I just thought.." I started to say
"Don't start on this subject" Jim let go of my hand
I sat back in the chair. Shocked. Why was he telling me this?
I looked down hiding my tears, "Um, alright. I think I'm gonna go get some coffee" I stood up
Jim grabbed my hand, "Don't. I'm sorry OK? I didn't mean to-"
I snapped my hand out of his and walked out wiping my tears away
I sat at a small table, with two chairs on either side and a couple magazines on it. Holding my coffee in hand and staring at the floor
I felt like a freak, just staring at nothing. But I've been doing this since I was a little girl, I was use to people waving their hand in front of my face, yelling my name to snap me out of it, calling me a weirdo
Jim and I's conversation ran through my head over and over again about...
Tears starting trickling down my cheeck once again
I was debating if I should go back into Jim's room or just stay out here
I decided to stay out here for a while
I took a couple deep breaths myself, then my phone rang for a new text
It was from Jim. How did he get his phone?
Babe, I know your still here in the hospital with me. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make you feel bad or anything. I don't know why I said that, please forget everything we just said. I need you here for me during this surgery, I need to see your face when I wake up in the morning, I need to say I Love You every chance I get.
I Love You so much babe, more than you can think of
I shut my phone.
This day is not working out...
