Day 2 drug on much to Tommy's dismay. He was already tired of being in the hospital with wire and needles hooked up to him. He had just been told that he would not be starting the tour. 

"But I'm the lead!" "You can't do this!" "I HATE YOU!"

"No, you don't. I want you to get better, sweetie. If you don't ,you might not be strong enough to tour at all. Or plan our wedding."

"I don't want anything to do with you right now." sulked Tommy. "Get out."

"If I go, no one will be here when you get tests done. Do you really want that?" asked Paul firmly.

Tommy felt a firm squeeze as Paul waited for an answer. "No." he finally answered. "I'm sorry."

"Baby, I know you're scared and want to go home. I get that. Let's focus on you getting better, okay?"

Finally Tommy reluctantly agreed to stay put. "I guess if I don't get better I'll wind up back in here anyway."

"Yes you will. You have to heal more than just your body."

Tommy wondered how long he'd actually be hospitalized.

Paul told Tommy he would be back after he went to the house for awhile. "I need to clean up a bit. The house that is."

"Um, baby, you might want to shave. You kinda look like a grizzly."

Paul playfully smacked Tommy on the arm as he kissed his cheek. "I'll be back, okay?"

Not too long after Paul left, the doctor came to get Tommy for the breathing test.
