"Hannah," he whispers.
I sit down next to him by the garbage can and light a cigarette he raises an eyebrow and I say, "I started smoking so I wouldn't worry so much but obviously I worried regardless."
"You haven't been eating have you?" he asks.
"Somewhat, but not much."
I give my husband his jacket that's white with black stars and it's big on him right now since he's so sick, and I put his wedding ring in his hand. He smiles a little at it but then says, "Hannah, I've missed you but I just don't know if...I can do this again."
"Aaron, did you see the magazines at all?"
"No, why?"
"They have lies in there that I killed you, we got divorced, your family hates me, and Jayla was put up for adoption. I have read every single false story that they've made up and let it break me!"
"Baby, I'm sorry I neglected you and ignored you. But most of all I wish I hadn't fought with you for no reason."
"I don't have words for how sorry I am Airboy. I drove you to do drugs again and I hate myself for it."
"Just send me away so I can get clean and then we can set those magazines straight!"
"Your evil fangirls trashed our gate with eggs and mean notes all aimed at me. They hate me even more now."
"Don't worry I will fix that too. Call Angel when we get in the car and she can call everyone."
I hug my husband not caring about anything else except knowing that he's alive and that was enough to make me happy.
Angel meets us at home with Jayla, Sadie, and Nick. I hug Angel and say, "I don't want questions and lectures from them! Why did you bring them?"
"Because you and Aaron need them right now. But don't worry I told them to give you two some space to clean up a bit and I told them what happened already."
"How'd you know?"
"Aaron texted me when he was lonely and told me about everything that happened."
Sadie is holding Jayla. And Nick looks annoyed which I don't understand.
"Come on Airboy, let's go shower together," I say taking his hand.
"Hannah, I'm not pretty anymore. So why would you want to shower with me?"
"Because I love you and I don't care what you look like."
He shaves first and then I can see his cheekbones which I have to look away from so he can't see my tears, but he notices. Aaron doesn't comment on it instead he helps me undress and studies me up and down saying, "You're always petite Hannah Cabana, but now you're just...sick. Like me."
I nod and whisper, "If you want privacy I'll give it to you."
He grabs my arm and makes me get in first then he comes in next, I let him get fully clean before I step under the water. We don't hold each other like usual instead we get dressed right away and pack his bag for rehab. I am about to pack his skull print jacket but instead, he takes it from me.
"I love you," he tells me and zips me up in it.
"What are you going to take for a jacket?" I ask becoming concerned.
"My star one. And please love for my sake eat something."
"I love you Aaron, and get better for my sake," I tell him as we finish packing.
Nick and Aaron hug for a long time and nobody says anything to me.
"Bye Hannah," Nick says.
"I'm not going to drop him off?"
"No, he's like this because of you!"
I start sobbing and am about to run off but my husband turns around, "Nick, shut the fuck up! Yes, it was her fault but it was also mine. And I wouldn't tell Tyler that if something happened to you that she couldn't come see you. So my wife is coming and you can just deal with it!"
Aaron takes my hand and Sadie says, "Hannah, how are you feeling?"
"Hungry, tired, relieved, and happy but most of all lucky."
"Well, I will take of you after we drop off Aaron."
Nick clears his throat and says, "Hannah, I apologize for my actions but please understand my panic as Aaron's big brother."
"I forgive you and I do understand because I have a big sister just like you!"
We all laugh and Jayla coos.
"Did she start talking after...I...you know?" Aaron asks Angel.
"When Hannah left her with me lots of things happened but all of them were good I promise."
I cling to Aaron's arm the whole way there and when we arrive in the facility he shows me his left hand. I smile and say, "I'm glad you put your ring back on. I wore it on my neck while you were gone."
"I believe it," he replies snickering.
I cry knowing that I'm losing him again and say, "We have our ups and downs, but it's worth it. Because I love you and I never stopped from the moment I heard you on the phone in 1997."
"Don't cry love, you'll see me again. And this time I am taking you on every tour I go on so I don't neglect you ever again. But most of all I love you more Hannah Cabana."
We kiss and I savor it melting into his lips never wanting to break apart from the kiss. But when we do stop kissing I hug him and cry letting my husband wipe my tears away.
