The week passed slowly for Jesse. It was a constant of nurse, doctors, and friends. Several people including both his aunt and uncle, tried to persuade Jesse to go home for a little while but he flatley refused. They could all see him slowly crumpling. He was exhausted. The steady beeps of the heart monitor made it impossible for Jesse to get more then a couple of hours of sleep, but he refused to go home, and then there was the matter of her heart. Rachel had AB- blood only less then 1% of the world had this type of blood making it extremely hard to find a donor.
Jesse sighed. He looked at Rachel's still form.
"The doctor said she could probably hear me talking, what about singing?" he mused, and with that thought in his head he opened his mouth and began to sing.
I remember all my life
Raining down as cold as ice
Shadows of a man
A face through a window
Crying in the night
The night goes into
He remembered the grueling vocal adrenaline practices and the meaningless relationships.
Morning, just another day
Happy people pass my way
Looking in their eyes
I see a memory
I never realized
How happy you made me oh Rachel
The first time singing with Rachel , the joy he felt singing with her.
Well you came and you gave without taking
But I sent you away, oh Rachel
Well you kissed me and stopped me from shaking
And I need you today, oh Rachel
Him crying after his parents weren't there when he had a severe concussion, leaving him alone
at the hospital, Rachel bounding out of her dads car and comforting him, staying with him till he was given the all clear.
I'm standing on the edge of time
I Walked away when love was mine
Caught up in a world of uphill climbing
The tears are on my mind
And nothing is rhyming, oh ebbing
The egging... Her face
Yesterday's a dream I face the morning
Crying on the breeze
The pain is calling, oh Rachel
The pain in his chest when Rachel was no longer with him
You came and you gave without taking
But I sent you away, oh Rachel
Well you kissed me and stopped me from shaking
And I need you...
Oh Rachel won't you listen to what I've got to say
Oh Rachel don't you let me throw it all away
Oh Rachel won't you listen to what I've got to say
And I need you today, oh Rachel
Jesse cradled his head in his hands as he let the last note fade, echoing around the stark room. Then he felt her fingers twitch. He stared at their hands and applied gentle pressure. Again her fingers twitched in his. He glanced from their hands from to her face and back again in a state of utter shock. It wasn't till she start to shift around in the bed. He sprang up, knocking over his chair.
"NURSE!" he screamed. "NURSE!" he ran to the door screaming for a doctor before running to the head of the bed.
"Rachel? Rach? I'm right here babe." The doctors ran into the room franatic because of Jesse's yells. They quickly saw Rachel and went about checking her vitals. Jesse held her hand.
FInally her eyelids began to quiver. Her eyelids snapped opened glazed and out of focus. Slowly her eyes began to adjust to the bright room and take in her surroundings. At last her deep chocolate eyes lock with his green.
"Hello, Is it me your looking for?
