Chapter 7

I brought Gaga my laptop to watch videos on in the hospital. She played 'Yoü & I' on repeat, and then cried because she thought her relationship was over. "Gaga, really, it's okay. You're gonna be fine. Really." Gaga sniffled into the bed sheet and broke down again.
"No I'm not! Taylor's slept with some other girl, I've busted my hip and I'm in the hospital, the ArtRAVE has had to be cancelled, and the DWUW video is gonna be delayed for ages now! How can you say that I'm gonna be fine?" She glared at me, which was uncommon. She usually loved me.

"It's been a long time since I came around, it's been a long time but I'm back in town. This time I'm not leaving without you." I heard Gaga's velvety pure voice from down the corridor. "Something, something about this place. Something about lonely nights and my lipstick on your face." Her voice was so perfect and soft and angelic. There were tears in my eyes. "Something, something about my cool Nebraska guy. Something about baby, yoü and I." Her voice trailed into the beeping and ticking of the hospital. Streams of salty tears were running down my face. 'Don't be a baby, Indie. You've gotta stay strong for her.' I thought to myself. I walked back over to the bedside.

I went back to the apartment that night. Her duvet was rumpled and smelt of her. It was comforting. I went over to the answering machine where a red light was flashing. 32 missed calls. 31 of them were from people who wanted to interview her. The last message was from Taylor. "How are you darling. I know I haven't always been here for you but I just need you to know that I love you and I promise I'll do anything that I can. I pray every night that you'll recover safely. Everything's over between me and that other girl. Nothing can come between us now. You see, I don't wanna be alone forever. I still can't be tonight. I love you Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta."
