Jaspers P.O.V

I watched the coffee cup fill so slowly it was almost as it years had passed when it was finally full. There were nurses all around me and various patients, unfortunately some women don’t get that when im in a hospital visiting somebody who is still in the danger zone it’s probably not the best time to come up to me and try to give me your number.

I had already snapped at three women and told them to get away from me, and slowly my patience was slipping away. I turned to the nurse who was trying desperately to flirt with me.

“Look, one of my closest friends is lying in there in a coma while she tries to fight off being drugged. Do you really think that I would flirt with you, because either way the answers no”. I snapped at her, before turning to the crowd of women surrounding me “the answer was no five hours ago and it’s still no”. I shouted at them watching them all avert their gazes so they didn’t meet my eyes, before slowly moving away from me.

“Praise Jesus”. I said throwing my hands up in the air, not caring what kind of funny looks I was getting. I grabbed the coffee cup filling it with a little milk and making me way down the corridor to Tess’s hospital room. Jamie was lying against her frozen arm, his five o’clock shadow clear since it had been a day since she got taken in.

“Here”. I said handing him the other cup of coffee in my hand, he sat up yawning and took it with one hand, the other hand remaining as always holding Tess’s hand almost like it was for dear life.

I had left at 7am this morning to go home and shower, all attempts to sleep were fruitless, every time I closed my eyes I imagined Tess lying so helpless on that table, that it plagued my thoughts.

“You should go and shower. Tess would kick my ass if she found out that I let you stay here”. I said with a grin, but my heart wasn’t in it. I should probably hate Jamie, but I didn’t. I couldn’t hate anyone who loved her as much as he did, no matter how hard I tried.

He tried to smile back but it looked strained and uncomfortable, he was still wearing the suit from that other night and the bags underneath his eyes showed how sleepless last night had been.

“I don’t know if im able to leave her”. He said drinking his coffee, I looked at him only for a second before I realized why. He was afraid for her.

“Ill wait with her until you come back”. I offered trying to sound casual but at the same time portray just amount of protectiveness. Jamie searched my eyes his grey eyes boring into mine.

He shrugged eventually, “in all honesty, I should go home but I don’t want to, I told my parents about our relationship”. He said sighing and running his fingers through his hair.

I raised my eyebrow and took the seat opposite Jamie’s on the other side of Tess’s bed. Leaning back in the chair and resting my hands on the bed, I wanted to grab her hand so bad, but I don’t think that Jamie would appreciate me touching his girlfriend.

“They took it well at the time, but only because I probably looked like I would stab them otherwise, but now it’s going to be all business”. He said groaning, looking like he genuinely wished he could be an average Joe right about now. I was just about to tell him so when my phone rang.
