Sorry everyone. I will try and put updates up as soon as I can, and I will NOT go over 2 weeks. So, if it has been two weeks since I last updated, tell me in reviews so I am aware please! Also, this is set, like, 2 weeks after the last chapter, so….
Disclaimer: I do not own SLOD, Justin Bieber or any of his songs that I may or may not put in here!
I started to sob. Hard. He was gone. He had left me. Despite what Justin had said, he did leave.
"I am so sorry Miss. Pickett. There was nothing we could do" the doctor said.
The tears shook harder, and I broke down.
I just couldn't get over the fact that Cody was dead.
ILOVECAILEY!
"Bailey! Bailey!" Justin yelled. I woke up with a start.
"Are you okay? You just started to cry in your sleep. Are you okay?" he asked, when he noticed I wasn't listening.
"I have to see him again" I whispered, sitting up in my chair.
"Bailey. The doctor said we couldn't go in there. Cody needs to rest" he reasoned.
"Please. I need to see that he is okay. It has to do with my dream" I whispered, defeated.
"Okay. I get it. Ill calls the doctor so we can go in" he said quietly.
"Thank you" I said.
A few minutes later he came back.
"We can go in. but we have to be quiet" he said.
"Come on" he said, coming behind the wheelchair and starting to push me.
ILOVECAILEY!
He looked so fragile. So weak. He looked like, with one touch, he would break. He seemed so helpless, so defenseless, that it was upsetting to watch. This was what Cody was. A helpless fragile being, with no escape from the blackness that was probably over powering him. Trying to pull him down. He would be going to great lengths to keep himself from succumbing to death. That would be enough to keep me from going under. Maybe that was why Cody hadn't gone yet. But I hoped that there was another reason. Me. If Cody didn't make it through this, I didn't know what I would do. I might leave the ship. Everything there would remind me of him, especially Zack. Zack. He hadn't once entered my mind and what he must be going through. What he must be going through made me break down in tears.
I was very upset and I hadn't known Cody my whole life, only 3 years of it. Zack had known him since they were born. They were two half's of a whole. They were brothers. They were twins. And Zack was the eldest. Seeing your little brother like this would hurt Zack very deeply.
Hearing me start to cry, Justin came over.
"Shh. Whats wrong?" he soothed.
"Zack" I bubbled out through my sobs.
"Zack's outside" he replied.
"No, no. what he must be going through! Can you imagine having your little brother in a coma, maybe not going to wake up? It must be terrible!" I cried.
"It's okay. Zack is holding up fine. Look, you need to reduce your stress, or you'll never get better" Justin reasoned. While he was saying this, he slid under my lap, on the wheelchair.
I rested my head on his shoulder and he smoothed my hair, and took my fringe out of my face. I took Cody's hand, and then stood up. Justin lightly put his hands on my waist to stable me.
"Thank you" I whispered.
He nodded. I leaned down and softly pressed my lips on Cody's. I then sighed and sat back down on Justin's lap.
"We can go in a minute. I think ill be fine. Just a bit longer" I reasoned.
"Sure. No longer than five minutes though" he replied.
I put my head back on his shoulder and gently closed my eyes.
"You better not have played with my girl" a weak voice coughed.
"Cody!" Justin and I said at the same time.
I grabbed the emergency button and jabbed at it a few times, and then I let it fall to the bedside.
"Don't worry. I was just comforting her" Justin laughed.
"Oh. Ok then" Cody replied.
"Ill go and get Zack and Carey. Then find the doctor" Justin added, slipped me off his lap and then quietly left the room.
"Oh my gosh Cody! I can't believe you're finally awake! I was so worried!" I gushed.
I slowly stood up then gently sat down on the bed.
"Finally? How long have I been out?" he asked.
"About two weeks. I haven't really been paying attention to the time" I replied.
"How am I? I know that sounds weird, but I just feel…" he didn't end the sentence.
"Well, they did get the bullet out, and after that you went into a coma. The doctors didn't know if you were going to wake up" I said quietly.
"Oh" was all he replied.
Just then Carey and Zack rushed in, followed by the doctor, and then Justin walking in slowly. He came over to me.
"I think we should leave them be for a bit. Family time" Justin said, so only I could hear.
I nodded.
"Sounds like a good idea" I replied.
I stood up off the bed and settled myself in the wheelchair. Justin took the handles and wheeled me out. We didn't speak the whole way back to the waiting room.
"Thank god he is finally okay" I said, while Justin helped me stand up.
"Yes. It is a miracle. Looks like that whole true loves kiss thing works after all" Justin joked.
I giggled.
Justin wrapped his arm around my waist, and we started to move forward slowly.
"They don't feel as heavy. I don't think that I will need the wheelchair for much longer" I said, slowly going over to the wheelchair. When I plunked myself down in a chair and so did Justin, the doctor came out.
"Well, as you know, cody is awake. He should be cleared to leave the hospital in a few days" the doctor said.
"A few days? That can't be right" I said.
"I know it sounds odd. But Cody is making a remarkable recovery, quite fast. He will actually be well enough to go home tonight, but I think that keeping him here for a bit longer would be a good idea." The doctor replied.
"Thank you. Im gonna call Mr. mosey. He and the captain should be happy to know that we will be able to leave soon." I said.
"Here's your phone" Justin said, pulling it out of his pocket.
"Why do you have my phone?" I asked.
"You have mine" he replied simply.
"Oh. I guess I never gave it back to you" I said, laughing.
I forked over his phone, and he passed over mine.
"Thanks" we said at the same time, then burst out laughing.
I found Mosbey on the speed dial, pressed it, the put he phone to my ear. It rang once, then I heard Mosbeys voice on the end.
"Bailey! How are you? Is Cody OK? Do you know where Justin is?" Mosbey asked all at once.
"Calm down. Im fine. Cody is now awake, which is good. He will be able to leave very soon. Yes, I do know where Justin is. He is sitting next to me. And he is smiling. Shall I go on?" I asked.
Justin smirked when I talked about him.
Can't get enough, he mouthed at me. I just laughed and shook my head.
"Thank god! No you don't need to go on. How long exactly did the doctor say?" Moseby asked.
"He said that, Cody was making a good recovery that he would be able to go home tonight. But he also said that it was a better idea to keep him here for a couple of days" I replied.
"Okay then. What about you? How are you holding up?" his tone softened.
"Im pretty good. My legs don't feel as heavy" I answered.
"How about Zack and Carey? How are they holding up?" He asked.
"Not sure. Ah, here they come. Ill put you on with Zack" I said.
I then handed it on to Zack.
"Who is it?" He asked.
"Moseby" I answered.
"Okay. Hey Moseby. Ship been peaceful with me gone?" Zack asked, but his voice was dead. There was no life.
"No? How is that? Guess it isn't me" Zack laughed. That was more like him.
Zack went quiet. Then he started to cry.
"Sorry, Mosbey" he apologized, though it was barely audible.
"Cody?" Justin asked, coming up behind me. I nodded.
We went in there.
"Hey guys" Cody whispered, when he saw us enter the room.
"Hey Cody" Justin greeted.
"Hey" was all I said. I couldn't get anything else out.
"Why are you in a wheelchair bails?" Cody asked.
"Um. Well the doctor said that I have been putting too much stress on myself, so my body has gone into a shock kind of state, which has… ah, how do I put this… made me lose the ability to move my legs… yeah, that works" I concluded.
(A/N- I honestly don't know if you can actually do that. Most of the medical stuff in here is made up. But they don't call it fiction for nothing, right!)
"Oh" was all he said.
"How are you?" I asked.
"Sore. I have a massive headache, and my shoulder really hurts. But I guess that is to be expected. How long until I can leave?" he asked.
"Only a few more days. Then we move along to Canada. Oh my god! Canada! You'll be leaving soon Justin!" I exclaimed.
"I know. I have already stayed longer than I should have, but I think it will be okay. Just less time at home before I go on tour again, I guess" he said, then shrugged his shoulders as if it was no big deal.
"Oh. Sorry to hear that" I apologized.
"Not your fault" he shrugged again.
Cody yawned.
"We should let you sleep. Ill go and get the doctor to give you some pain-meds" Justin said.
"Thank you" Cody croaked.
Justin and I left the room.
"How is your head Justin. Concussion gone yet?" I asked, remembering about that.
"Think so. Haven't really thought about it much" he answered.
"Okay" I yawned.
"Guess I'm tired too. A lot happened today. Im gonna go to sleep" I said.
"Okay" he replied.
We got to Zack and Carey, and I found a comfy spot in the wheelchair. Then I closed my eyes, and quickly fell into a dreamless sleep.
Hey! As I said before, most of the medical stuff in here is made up, so don't go and learn anything from this.
I have decided that I am going to do a sequel! Yay! But to do the sequel, Justin has to leave… sorry guys!
But you will see him again, and this time there will be a lot more Justin/bailey action. Including a few kisses! Whoo! Guess you'll have to see how it all pans out…
