So guys, I tried to write again and I hope it's not too awful. Actually this is very different from the rest of the story. It's written from Remy's point of view and NO she did not wake up yet. Just read it. Thanks for giving me the time I needed and I hope this makes up for the long wait!
There it was again, that soft voice. I knew exactly who it belonged to. Of course I knew it was her. She must have been there almost 24/7 because the voice only stopped when I felt a light weight on the bed right next to my hand that she held the whole time.
Every time she begged me to wake up, I wanted to so badly, to make it happen for her, but it never worked.
Every time she fell asleep with her head on my bed, right next to our joined hands, I wanted to caress her hair, make her as comfortable as possible while sleeping in a chair, but my body didn't move at all.
That was my biggest problem. More than once I tried to move, tried to find out if I could move my legs, if the operation had worked. More than once I had to realize though that no part of my body moved when I wanted it to, no part of my body moved at all. I couldn't even open my eyes.
She was still talking to me, telling me what we could do as soon as I woke up and was out of the hospital. She told me that 'our' band was playing in 'our' bar in 3 weeks and that she wants to go on a date with me then.
"I know it sounds weird…a date… but I figured since we weren't together for a while and it was my fault, that we could start over and I could take you out on a date. And what better place is there to start over than the bar where everything started with the band that played the song that became our song that night. If you don't want to, it's okay though, it was just an idea. We don't have to go there…"
I could practically see the blush on her face right in front of my eyes but I also heard the sadness in her voice when she referred to our break-up. I wanted to comfort her, tell her it wasn't her fault and that there was nothing that I'd love more than going on that date with the woman I love, but I knew I couldn't. Nothing moved…
"You know, your dad and I get along very well. He's such a nice guy. He brings me food so that I don't have to leave you. Everyone cares and helps as much as possible, even House. He went to my apartment with Wilson - Cuddy wasn't able to do it – to get me clothes and things to clean myself up. Cuddy told me to take off as many days as I need to and said that she wouldn't take it from my vacation…"
As she continued talking I wondered how much time had passed since the operation. She needs clothes and things to clean herself up? How long has she been sitting there already? How long did I keep her waiting already?
"…this summer I'd like to go to Italy? What do you think? You and me alone in Venice or Tuscany or even Rome? I think it would be great. We could both use some time off, some time away from everything and everyone."
She was talking all the time, she never really stopped. I actually never believed that someone can hear what the people at their bedside are telling them. I know better now. It was comforting to know that she was with me and that I was not alone.
"I have to talk to Cuddy now hun, but I promise I'll be back before you even notice I'm gone!"
Okay sorry Babe but that's a lie, of course I noticed. I already missed you before you were even gone. I didn't want you to leave because I didn't want to be alone, I didn't want to get the chance to think. Things like: Why don't I wake up? Why can I hear you but not move any part of my body? Will I even be able to go to Italy with you? Come back!
It was useless, I knew you couldn't hear me, but hey it was worth a try wasn't it? I waited and waited and it seemed like hours passed until you returned. I heard the door open and someone sat down and as the person next to me started talking I realized that it wasn't you sitting next to me.
"You have to wake up, you know? She won't be able to go on without you. It'll tear her apart. I see how it already does now and your father, as much as he tries to be strong, he's not. He only leaves at night to sleep a few hours and returns early in the morning to see if anything changed. You have to be the most stupid person I ever met. Are you out of your fucking mind? You knew exactly the risks this operation would have and you knew exactly how devastated she would be if something had gone wrong. I swear, as soon as you wake up I'll have to kill you for acting like the fool you are. Damn, sometimes I ask myself why I even hired you," he spat at me, anger controling his voice. Then he seemed to be contemplating something. "Oh I forgot, you're hot," he let his mind wander before he spoke up again furiously. "Whatever!"
And with that he stood up again and left without saying another word. He just left. But actually for House that kind of was a nice speech. He cares. He has his own way of showing it but he cares, Allison was right.
Only about 5 minutes later the door opened again and someone sat down next to me and this time I knew it was her because the second she took my hand everything was as okay as it could be. My mind seemed to relax as soon as she started talking again and I let her words surround me again.
So that's it for now. I hope you liked it. Just review and tell me.
