"I need to get in here!" you screamed in rage as you tried to break through the chain of nurses to see, Jess. You felt your band mates hold you back as you released all your anger and fell back into their arms in frustration. You heard them sigh as you stood back up and sat down in the waiting room.
"They cannot make me wait like this," you said arrogantly. You felt your insides heat as the anger built up in you.
"Jade, please calm down. I know you're really angry about all this but trust me, man, punching a bunch of nurses won't solve anything," you heard Davey say. It brought a small smile to your face as you waited impatiently.
Finally a nurse came out and said, "I can allow two in for visitation. It'd be better if she is entertained before she undergoes some extra tests to ensure you that the twins will make it through okay."
You and Davey stood up and followed the nurse as she paced down the hall. She led you into a large room filled with equipment and wires everywhere. You then looked forward to see the bed where everything connected to. You felt your stomach clench as you walked and saw Jess' limp body laying there, pale and lifeless. You cringed as you saw her twitch as she opened her eyes. It looked like it was hurting her.
"Jess," you whispered slightly. She looked up at you as a sad look grew across her face. You bent down to her level and sighed deeply as you reached out and out your hand on her stomach. You watched her eyes widen.
"But Jade…" she managed to get out before you interrupted her with, "There's no time for explanations. I'm here for you now and that's all that matters."
She lay back uncomfortably as you looked up at you, her eyes full of questions. You shook your head as Davey sat down behind you. You exhaled as you felt her arms blindly across the scars and asked, "Why weren't you eating?"
She swallowed and said, "I didn't feel like it…when I did eat; it made me feel worse about everything,"
You then said, "Maybe you should rest. You have a lot of stuff coming up," and stood.
"Sit down," she said dully as you sat back down obeying.
She inhaled and started into a fit of coughing.
"I don't know what's wrong…but I overheard the nurses say that I'm not strong enough to deliver…and I might not make it…"
"You might die?" you shouted as you stood up out of your chair. She winced at your volume and said quietly, "I'm not positive, but there is a chance…and if I do…"
You shook your head and shouted, "You're NOT going to die! Don't think like that,"
She sighed and said, "I don't know what I'd do if I had to go into a world where you're not in it,"
You stood up and kissed her on the forehead as you turned to leave her alone with Davey. He had said he'd wanted to give her a little pep talk. You had walked out of the room and sat down in the waiting room as you sighed and picked up a car magazine.
:.Davey's point of view.:
You smiled awkwardly and walked near the bed.
"Davey, why is Jade so stressed?" she asked quietly. You sighed and said, "It's because he cares about you and when you say you're going to die, it scares him. It scares all of us thinking about the thought of you not being here. You are the only interesting person in every conversation we've had. I mean, everyone we've met are awesome but there's something about you that just relieves us all of the problems our lives have cast off on us."
You saw her shudder from the coldness of the room as she said, "What am I going to do, Davey? I'm so confused about everything. I don't want Jade to hurt because of someone like me,"
You angrily grabbed her scarred arm and spat out, "Don't even say that about yourself! Someone like you? Someone like you is the only reason Jade drove all the way down here so he could see you! He was driving himself crazy over you! You didn't think when you broke up with him; you only grasped tour first instinct!"
You set her arm down as you watched small tears form in her eyes. "Davey, you don't understand! Why are you so angry?" she cried out using all her strength.
You felt yourself calm down as you said contently, "Jade loves you with a passion…I care about you and all but of course I'm going to give you shit when you do something wrong."
You watched as several tears came down her face, "I didn't mean to hurt him so much but it hurt me so bad to do it. It led me to my abandoned tendency…"
She raised her arms revealing many scabbed scars. You slid your fingers over them and winced as you realized how deep they were.
"I hope you know what you're doing to everyone,"
"You can't look down at me about it, Davey. You surely must know what it's like to find an obsession that relieves you if everything the world throws at you," she spilled out in defense.
"You're acting different. Why are you so angry? What happened to the calm and collected Davey I know?" she questioned.
You shook your head and said, "He's hurting because you're being unreasonable and unconfident. Think about it."
You then got up and walked out of the room.
