"Hey
Ames" Jeff said solemnly looking over to the hospital bed
and seeing Amy propped up leaning her head up towards the lights,
"Hey Jeffie" Amy replied softly a smile forming around
her lips as he walked closer towards her, "You ok" He
asked reaching down and holding her hand, "A lot better now
that your here" Amy mouthed as Jeff kissed her hand.
"I was scared Jeff" Amy replied a single tear beading
around the corner of her eye, "I know you were Amy"
Jeff kissed her again, feeling somewhat stupid for not coming
sooner, "Where were you?" She asked looking over to
him, burying the heat from her eyes into his.
"I was just talking to someone, I guess I lost track of
time" Jeff replied looking around the room, the sight of
Monitors and tube replaying back to his childhood causing him to
filch, "Who?" Amy asked pulling herself up farther into
the Bed, "This guy named Jared, he opened my eyes to a Lot
of things Amy" Jeff said grabbing a Chair and pulling it to
the side of the bed. "Yea, like what" Amy asked again,
"He's paralyzed because of me Amy, but he doesn't blame
me" Jeff said almost again coming to the brink of tears.
"How are you to Blame?" Amy questioned kissing Jeff's
forehead, "He copied off of me trying a Swanton and he
missed" Jeff replied looking to the ground, "Im sorry
Jeff' Amy said grabbed his hand and holding it tighter with in
hers, "On top of that he has Cancer, Jesus Amy, I complain
when I have a stiff Neck, This guys is going to die and he is
smiling" Jeff sounded angry now hating himself for being
Healthy.
"Jeff that's because he knows what will happen to him, and
he knows that maybe he can't fight it, He came to terms with that
Fact Jeff" Amy said comforting Jeff again, "I know its
just, I don't even know anything about him, But I feel like his
Changed me" Jeff confirmed, "You know they say, a
person will only listen to the Voice of a Stranger" Amy
replied as the Doctor walked into the room.
"Ms. Dumas, after going over you X-ray I find a Small
Fracture in Lower Back, You won't need surgery but I would like
it for you to stay here for the week so we can make sure it's
healing properly." The doctor spoke and looked to Amy who
shook her head. "Thank You" Jeff said shaking the
Doctor's hand. "I'll check back on you later on, Would you
like me to have Maintenance set up a Bed for you?" She asked
looking to Jeff, "Yes" He said lowly as the Doctor
walked out of the room.
Jeff looked back to Amy who was starring off to the side of the
room a single tear fell from her eyes, "It'll be all
right" Jeff mentioned walking towards her and kissing her
forehead. "I now" She replied as Jeff brought a Chair
over from the corner of the room, "Try to get some
Sleep" He insisted, Amy fought with her eyes to close
letting out a Sigh of relaxation.
Jeff stirred awake a Few hours later, his neck hurt from his
Position of the Chair, He slowly stood up and walked into the
Bathroom trying not to make noise. Once in the Bathroom he turned
on the Light, squinting at its brightness. He peered into the
Mirror, looking into his own eyes, the Dark circles had already
begun to form, He turned the water on and splashed some on his
face waking himself up. He ran his moist hand through his Messy
Hair trying to straighten it out. Sighing into the Mirror he
placed a Hand in his Shorts pocket feeling a Cold sensation over
his Finger, He pulled out a Chain and Cross. "Jamaal's"
He said and placed it back into his Pocket.
As he walked out of the Bathroom he looked to Amy, asleep in the
Bed she looked so peaceful he smiled at her and shut the
Television off. He knew he wasn't about to go back to sleep, A
walk would do him good. He walked out of the Tiny Hospital Room
blowing a Kiss to Amy before silently shutting the door.
The halls were quite as he trudged down towards the Nurses Desk,
He noticed an older women sitting down at the Nurse's desk a look
of False Hope in her eyes, "Can I help you" she said,
wiping her eyes with a Tissue, "Maybe, Do you know the Room
Number to Jamaal Fontinin?" He asked stuffing his hands into
his Pockets, "Yes I do, Do you need to speak with my
son?" She said solemnly.
That hit Jeff hard, His stomach dropped, This woman had no idea
who he was, No idea that he is the Reason her son is laying
Paralyzed in that Room, "Yea I do, I was talking to him
Earlier and he dropped his" He said pulling from his Pocket
a Sliver Chain with a Cross on it.
