Kristeana tried to open her eyes and frowned why couldn't she open her eyes? Trying to sit up she could feel her body heavy and not moving. Trying to remember what happened she kept getting brought out of her thoughts by this beeping noise. Giving up she just continued to try to move or open her eyes.
Days passed she realized she was in the hospital after she listened to doctors and nurses coming in and out of her room. Still unable to open her eyes, speak, or move she was feeling helpless. "Hey honey I hope your not in pain this is all my fault but please just wake up." part of her wanted to kick her mother out of the room how many times she cried to her mother about Jack laying his hands on her and she ignored it said she was lying but now that they both got the shit beaten out of them her mom wants to listen. NO THANKS she thought.
Dero came to visit her every day even though he is supposed to be going on tour soon. Kristeana didn't want him to miss his tour because of her and she wished that she could just form words and speak. Every now and then she would hear security escort people away from her room and she smiled a bit damn Paparazzi of course would know she was here. Days continued to pass and she still couldn't move or anything to show people she was awake. Today her room was quiet it seemed like no one was coming to see her and she actually was happy for the solitude she was getting upset having everyone around her and not being able to talk to them.
DERO'S POV
Dero hurried in to the hospital looking for Kristeana. Some doctors and nurses gave him a hard time saying that since he wasn't family he wasn't aloud back in the rooms but he was having none of that. "I'm her boyfriend let me back there now!" Flux and Crap both looked at each other then Dero did he just call himself Kristeana's boyfriend what did they miss over the past few days. Finally getting access to the back Dero rushed into the room Kristeana was in and felt his heart break. Kristeana looked so small in the hospital bed but what really go him was all the machines hooked up to her and the wrapping around her head that was obviously covering up whats going to be a big scar.
Talking to the doctor he found out that Jack had attacked Kristeana and her mother and that he used a baseball bat to do the beating. Dero growled when the doctor said he would be surprised if Kristeana made it threw the night. "She is a fighter she is going to make it" the doctor just nodded and left the room giving Dero time alone with Kristeana. Walking over to the side of the bed he sat down grabbing hold of her hand. "You can do this, prove all those doctors wrong"
Day after day Dero went to see her, sometimes he slept in the chair in the room but he has been busy getting ready to go on tour. Dero really didn't want to leave her here by herself what if Jack came back the cops still haven't found him. Dero had to get his hands on the police report because the doctors said Victoria seemed to be covering something up. Reading the report he had found out that the elderly woman who lived across the street had heard the screams go on for awhile and was debating on calling the cops. Jack had emerged from the house with blood on his hands and shirt and that's what made her call. Dero was surprised that she didn't call sooner till her heard that she has called the cops on the boyfriends before and Victoria always stood up for him saying that it was just a screaming match between her and the boyfriend and no one else business.
Leaving Kristeana's side again to get some coffee he froze in the doorway. Victoria was sitting with her pleading for her to wake up. Dero stayed quiet till Victoria looked up at him. Walking over to the other side of the bed he sat down and sipped at his coffee. "What are you doing here?" Dero looked at her confused did she seriously just ask him what he was doing here what does it look like he is doing. "I could ask you the same question." that seemed to piss Victoria off and Dero inwardly smiled he wanted her to get mad at him he needed to feel something other than the depression he has felt watching the girl that he dare say he loves laying in a hospital bed unresponsive to everyone around her. "Shes my daughter I have every right to be here you on the other hand don't and I will make sure to tell security next time I see you here to not let you in."
Dero chuckled darkly was this woman serious right now. "Last time I checked you didn't care about your daughter you were letting all your boyfriends do as they pleased with her as long as it kept them around." SMACK Dero was surprised he reached up touching the side of his face where Victoria's hand has just come in contact. There was tears streaming down her face. "I never wanted to put my daughter in harms way I didn't know what was happening to her."
Rolling his eyes a bit remembering a conversation with Kristeana when he noticed the marks on her and how she said she told her mother several times about Jack and still she wouldn't leave the guy. "maybe next time you'll listen to your daughter's please for help" he looked over at Kristeana and frowned "I know I listened and tried to help her but this still happened." Victoria seemed to be done with the conversation and limped out of the room closing the door.
Dero sat holding Kristeana's hand and singing softly to her, the power of love.
Feels like fire
I'm so in love with you
Dreams are like angels
They keep bad at bay, bad at bay
Love is the light
Scaring darkness away, yeah
I'm so in love with you
Purge the soul
Make love your goal
The power of love
A force from above
Cleaning my soul
Flame on burn desire
Love with tongues of fire
Purge the soul
Make love your goal
I'll protect you from the hooded claw
Keep the vampires from your door
When the chips are down, I'll be around
With my undying death defying love for you
Envy will hurt itself
Let yourself be beautiful
Sparkling love,flowers
And pearls and pretty girls
Love is like an energy
Rushin' rushin' inside of me, yeah
The power of love
A force from above
Cleaning my soul
Flame on burn desire
Love with tongues of fire
Purge the soul
Make love your goal
suddenly he felt a twitch in the hand he was holding and looked up at Kristeana's face but her eyes were still closed and no emotion on her face. Looking back down at their entwined hands he smiled continuing his song.
This time we go sublime
Lovers entwine, divine, divine
Love is danger, love is pleasure
Love is pure, the only treasure
I'm so in love with you
Purge the soul
Make love your goal
The power of love
A force from above
Cleaning my soul
The power of love
A force from above
A sky-scraping dove
Flame on burn desire
Love with tongues of fire
Purge the soul
Make love your goal
I'll protect you from the hooded claw
Keep the vampires from your door
Feeling the little movement again he smiled, his girl was slowly coming back to him and he would make sure he was there to protect her even if that meant canceling tour.
