Salvation

Nearly a week went by before Adam finally got me to leave Jade’s side. He forced me to take a shower in the bathroom that was in Jade’s room, and to change the clothes that I had been wearing. Giving up my tight pleather pants for simple black ones and my black tank-top for a black short-sleeved one, I brushed out my hair and then combed it. I wiped the rest of my make-up off before I returned to sitting by Jade’s bed, taking his hand into mine again. The television was on, and they were showing some news program. I swallowed hard, feeling just a bit tired and more then hungry for something other then hospital food that they had provided to me. Seems they catered to vegans as well.

“Hey Dave. I brought you some food.”

Adam came in carrying a little take-out bag. Obviously it was something vegan or dear Adam wouldn’t have bothered with the ordering and delivering thing. Reaching out, I took the bag from him and then settled back into my chair, letting go of Jade’s hand just so I could peer at the food inside.

Vegan meatballs with spaghetti was my main course, and a little bit of vegan chocolate cake just for dessert. I laughed a bit and then looked up to Adam, scowling a little before going back to being tired and almost empty. The smile that was on his face fell and he kneeled down, patting my knee affectionately before he spoke to me.

“It’s going to be alright. The doctors just said that his body is repairing the damage to his body. Because he’s on overdrive, he’s going to be sleeping a lot. That’s all it is…one of his long naps turned longer.”

I smiled and then nodded, feeling my eyes start to burn again. The guilt and shame of being the one to cause this to Jade is what made me seem hurt in so many different ways. Being responsible for something like that was not what I had planned for my future. I had thought that things were going well…and it appeared to me that I was wrong for once.

“I’m sorry Adam…for everything.”

“Hey, no…it’s not your fault. He made the decision in the end. You didn’t do anything to cause this.”

“Yes I did.” Sobs wracked my form and I felt Adam remove the food tray from my lap. He stood up and then drew me up to my feet, hugging me close to him as I started to cry. He knew how to comfort and just when to.

“No…you didn’t. Jade loves you…and I know that you love him. When he wakes up, everything’s going to go back to normal. We’re going to go back to being a band again…we’re going to perform in shows and you two are going to flirt onstage.”

“No…he won’t…wake up. Adam…he would have woken up by now…”

“You don’t know th—“

“Yes, I do!” Tearing away from Adam, I stood there, shaking and breathing fairly hard. Did my friend just not understand the situation at hand? Was he not aware that Jade could never wake up and be stuck in a coma? How was I going to explain to his parents that I had caused their son to try and kill himself…in turn making him lose all brain function except for basic? I didn’t want to do that…and I knew that Hunter was going to be angry with me for as long as I was around just because of this. Already he hated me…and he was supposed to be my friend.

Turning away from Adam, I covered my eyes and let myself cry a little more, be it silently this time. Swallowing hard, I moved towards the bed and then climbed onto it again, cuddling up with Jade. Adam sighed and turned away, knowing that I wanted some time alone if I was getting like this. He had tried to comfort me…and I had turned him down. There was nothing he could do about that.

“I love you Jade…I’m always going to…even if you’re like this forever…I’m going to be here for forever, just for you. Always.”

Stroking Jade’s hair out of his face, I pressed a small kiss to his jaw and then rested against him again, feeling and hearing his heart beating against my ear and resounding through my eardrums. Though I felt like things were going to go down the drain from that point in time, I couldn’t help but think that I had fallen asleep to that thought. Why? Because I suddenly felt a hand against my back, stroking it a little bit.

“Go away Adam…I don’t care anymore. I just care about Jade…”

“I care about you too…”

That startled me and I sat up, getting to my hands and knees before I sat up straight, amazed by the fact that Jade’s gorgeous brown eyes were peering up at me half-lidded. I swallowed hard, again and again multiple times before I finally gave a small sound. Wrapping my arms around Jade’s neck, I nuzzled against the flesh there before I stuttered out my words, sounding almost incoherent because of the excitement inside of me.

“Oh Jade…I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean to hurt you. I didn’t mean to make you do this. Forgive me, please. I love you…I love you so much. I didn’t want to ruin what we had because of a failed relationship—“

“Davey…we aren’t going to fail. I have more faith in you then that.”

I couldn’t speak another word, I was so choked up. Hugging against him, I was all but on top of him, just my legs settled down a bit. I had my chest pressed to his and my face buried against his neck. He laughed a little weakly, but mostly because he was tired, as it would seem. I felt his hands against my back, stroking the flesh through my shirt. Biting on my lower lip, I looked up to him again and then whispered once more.

“We’re going to get you out of here, and back home…and then you and I are going to cuddle up on the couch in the back of the bus, and watch a movie. Or listen to music. Or do something. Just the two of us. No one else. Okay? I swear I’ll never hurt you again.”

Jade laughed again and I actually felt like he was mocking me. Then I felt the nod from him when I relaxed against his body once again.

“Yeah…just you and me.”

That sounded like a plan and I released a gentle sigh, feeling the waves of fatigue that came with very little sleep sweep over me. I didn’t want to rest…but I just had to. I felt the world become light for what seemed like a few seconds before I was suddenly jarred awake.

“Hey Dave…Dave…get up. The nurse needs to check Jade’s vitals so we can get him out of here.”

I got up almost immediately, sliding off the bed and brushing my hair back from my face with my fingers. Clearing my throat, I smiled to Jade when I saw that he was sitting up without help. He was always a strong person. He looked up to the nurse when she took his blood pressure, heart rate, and temperature. After a few moments, she smiled and then went towards a cabinet that was next to Jade’s bed. She took out his clothes that Adam had brought in and then rested them at the foot of the bed.

“He’s fit to leave. Just make sure you check him out at the front desk before leaving.”

A choked sound came from me and I watched Jade get up. But the sight of the white bandages on his wrist and hand made me go silent. That was still going to haunt me…seeing him covered in blood. I wondered if perhaps Smith had the bus cleaned up. I swallowed hard and smiled to Jade when he offered me one.

“Are you guys going to watch me get dressed or what?”

Starting a little bit, I blushed a bit more and then looked to Adam and Hunter. They both shrugged and then turned around. It wasn’t like I hadn’t seen Jade naked before…let alone the rest of them. I guess the modesty came with being a little weak. So I turned around and we waited until Jade spoke to us again before turning around.

“Is there a chance that we could stop so I could get a few candy bars? I’m craving something sweet.”

“Must come from you being without your daily dose of sugar.” Hunter was being nice now…which meant that he was only upset that his friend had been hurt like that. The bass player looked to me and gave a very apologetic smile. I returned it and knew that some things were going to be okay in the future. Maybe.

“Come on Jadey, let’s get you home.”

I made the guitarist smile and he nodded, reaching out and wrapping one of his arms around my shoulders as we left the room first. Adam stopped off at the front desk to sign out Jade whilst I just led him to the exit, going into the warm day air. Where were we? I had forgotten that we had stopped on our way to Vancouver when this little incident had occurred.

“Where are we again?”

“Seattle.”

“Oh…” So we were in Washington. I shook my head a little and then laughed a bit at the thought of being away from the world for so long. Jade squeezed my shoulders and then leaned close to me, speaking softly into my ear.

“Have you planned out anything other then a movie for us?”

I shook my head and then glanced up to him, tilting my head to the side before I just relaxed in his grasp, realizing that what he said didn’t necessarily entail that he was wanting something out of me. But I could have been wrong. And frankly I didn’t care either way.

“Well then…let’s just play it by how things turn out.”

A nod was given this time and I closed my eyes, resting against him and letting him lead me towards the bus. It was parked in the hospital parking lot this time, just to accommodate the fact that Jade was in the hospital and it was more convenient for us. When I heard the door click open, I opened my eyes and then went inside first.

“Home sweet home.”

He moved for the back, looking around for a moment before he turned back to me and smiled in that goofy and sweet way that he normally did. There was the Jade that I knew. I felt heat flood my cheeks and I cleared my throat, motioning towards the mini-fridge that we had on the bus.

“Something to drink?”

“Davey…I’m not a guest…I live here too…”

“Oh, that’s right. I’m sorry…I guess I’m just nervous.”

He cocked his head questioningly at me before he got a Coke from inside of the fridge, popping open the cap and taking a drink of it. I had Adam stock the thing with the glass bottled cocks. Smiling a little to Jade, I watched the way that his throat moved when he swallowed that liquid. It made me clear my throat and blush a bit more. Why was I thinking like that?

“You alright Davey?”

“Oh…huh? Yeah…I mean…I’m fine.” Jesus, I was not okay at all. Moving for the couch, I sat down and then smoothed my fingers over my legs, watching him as he came over towards me.

Setting that bottle to the side, he draped his arms around shoulders and then pulled me a little into his lap, one of my legs resting over both of his. He smiled at me. Was he feeling alright? He was just jumping into it…wasn’t he? Then again, Jade had always been a kind of straight forward guy. And why was I being nervous!? I had dreamed of most of this anyway!

“I love you Davey.”

Swallowing a bit more, I felt his lips against my neck and then my eyes slipped shut. I breathed out my words to him, almost feeling too weak to do anything but succumb to his affections.

“I love you…too…Jadey…”

“Good…”

What had gotten into my little Jade? Obviously something that I was enjoying, because all I could focus on were the images that were flashing through my mind. God, I prayed, let this not be a dream. It’s too good to wake up from someday.
