Falling For You
Story 5
Cody's POV
The Hospital- I watch Bailey pace back in forth in the waiting room waiting for some news. She hasn't even said a word to me. I feel sad inside too. I have to be strong for Bailey though. I need her to be okay. Grammy Pickett meant a lot to both of us. Her more than me, but she helped me get Bailey back. She gave up her savings just so Bailey and I could go back to the ship together. That is the best present I have ever gotten. Eunice and Clyde are inside the room with the doctor. Bailey keep crying because she knows it's all over. She was old, you can't stop that clock from timing out as hard as you try and as much as you want to.
Cody: Bailey, are you okay?
Bailey then turns to me and continues pacing. I then look at the clock and it's two in the morning. I then get up and walk over to her. She then turns around and accidentally bumps into me, but instead of saying something or apologizing, she wraps her arms around me and softly cries into my chest. I take it as a surprise and then I go to wrap my arms around her.
Cody: Why don't we go home? Come back in the morning?
Bailey: No, no, I'm staying.
Cody: Okay, are you hungry? I can run down to the cafeteria?
Bailey: No, just don't leave me.
Cody: I wouldn't think of it.
I say holding her tighter in my arms. I hate seeing her like this. I hate it more than a person can hate. She and I then sit down in the chair with her laying on my lap. Her body taking up to chairs and her head resting on me. Today is certainly a game changer. I hear Bailey's cries and I die inside little by little. I am breaking.
Bailey: Do you think she is dead?
Cody: Don't think about that, think for the best.
Bailey: I know she isn't going to.
Cody: Shush up, Bailey, she is, trust me.
Bailey: Like you know if someone is going to die or not.
Cody: She isn't.
Bailey: You don't know that.
Cody: Bailey, if you love someone, sometimes you have to let them go.
Bailey: She's a person not your hawk from the Tipton.
Cody: You know what I mean. And it's true.
Bailey: I can never let her go. She-sh-
She then breaks down crying again before she can get the words out. Bails...I then try to soothe her down, trying to make her relax, but my powers are weak against hers.
Bailey: Cody, what was it like to lose your grandmother?
Cody: Bailey, she will make it. Don't worry.
How was it like to lose my grandmother? Heart wrenching. I felt like someone ripped it out and stomped on it. My grandmother was the only true person to understand me. She accepted people for who they are and she didn't make standards that people had to specifically be. She was the best women that ever existed. And I lost her. Three years ago. I remember I couldn't speak nor eat. I felt hopeless. Every night for two months I would cry myself to sleep. I don't want to see that happen to her. Bailey and her grandmother have that similar relationship.
Bailey: Let's play the what if game, what if she doesn't?
Cody: Bailey, she will live, but if she doesn't you will have me, I'm not going anywhere.
Bailey: Promise?
Cody: Have I ever broken one to you, if I say something, I mean it, and I mean this, I promise.
Bailey: When is that damn doctor going to finish the check up?
Cody: Don't worry, I work here, so I can probably go check if you want me too.
Bailey: No, the more I wait the better. Stalling the bad news.
Cody: She can still make a miraculous recovery.
Bailey: No, she wont. I guess I have to take the blow.
Cody: Why don't you fall to sleep or rest. Get your mind off of it.
Bailey: I can't sleep. If I sleep I will know what I will dream of, and I don't want to.
Cody: I understand. You still have a loving and supporting family behind you Bails, remember that.
Bailey: I will. I know. I just don't want to lose a member to that. The most vital one.
Cody: Bailey, just go to sleep. I am right here. I always will be.
Bailey: Cody, I love you.
Cody: I love you too. I always will.
She then starts to close her eyes because of all the tears. I play with her hair and she just sighs. I know that sigh. The sigh that you just want it all to be over. Just want to know what you could of done to stop it. The sigh that wants to feel better. I just want her to calm down and try to pull through. I know she can, she is strong enough too. She can make it through anything. If she can't I will be the first person to help her. She then falls to sleep in my arm. She couldn't fight it anymore. I really do hope Grammy Pickett is okay. I really do. I don't want to see Bailey in pain or anyone else for that matter. To be honest it will hurt me too. She supported Bailey and I and knew the truth of what Bailey went through with Moose before Bailey could realize it. How Moose would hit her if he didn't get what he wanted. How he always told her what to do like she was property. She isn't. She is a person. Grammy Pickett has been beneficial to the people all over. I will always remember her and all the people who knew her will too. When someone in your life enters like her, it's so hard to let go. It takes time. I remember I always looked up to Grammy Pickett like she was my own grandmother. If they ever had a chance they would be best friends. They both had the same personality. I then see the door open with Clyde and Eunice exiting. I can see that they both have red eyes and there is a look upon their faces. That looks says it all.
A/N So, do you think she lived or died? I didn't say what the look was and of course they would be crying because they THOUGHT she was going to die, but does that mean she is?
