chapter 49

Anna's P.O.V.

I lay in bed staring at the ceiling, waiting for the stars to come out, and the clock to strike 12:00. Midnight is the only safe time to see Jason.

I sight, glancing at the clock again. Only 2 in the afternoon, I groan inwardly. 10 more hours to go. A nurse switches on the TV and it blares out some jazzy romantic music.

Turns out that my theory, or suspicion was right. This morning, after I had woken up late after last night, my mother had visited me again. She had looked at me a gleam in her eye  asking about last night, and then when I gushed out that I had met Jason she had smiled at me and laughing, she had told me that she had given the guards some sleep pill.

She had also told me that they were moving Jason to another ward, and instead of keeping guards there they were going to pin lock his door and somehow my wonderful mother had managed to find out the pin to his room, after snooping around in some files at the hospital office.

Thank God for giving me such an understanding mother!

Emily had also some to see me this morning, armed with some flowers and a huge box of chocolates. She was all wide eyed and worried, when she saw me.

"Anna, OMG are you okay?" She frantically questioned, checking me from head to toe and then exclaiming at my broken leg.
"Jason McCann kidnapped you?" She squeaked after I had assured her that I was fine, apart from mental damage maybe.
"Tell me everything." She had demanded after she freaked out over the fact the Jason had kidnapped me.

I couldn't tell her everything of course. Don't get me wrong, Emily was a best friend, but when it came to me and Jason – not many would understand, and Emily surly wouldn't. She would give me the same demented, shocked stare that the nurses gave me, and ask the same questions the doctors asked, and freak out and scold me over the same facts that the police did. So I steered clear of the Jason McCann topic and asked her about school instead to distract her.

She happily chattered away, telling me about who dated who and who did what to whom while I sighed and dreamed of something else. Jason, if you want more details.

"Anna, did you listen to even one word of what I said?" Emily had snapped at one point, flustered. I had flushed, cursing my wayward thoughts about Jason, and sighed, "I am sorry, what were you saying again?" Emily huffed, then she went all star eyed, "I was telling you about Josh Hardling asked me out and...ANNA! Listen."

"I am sorry," I smiled at her weekly. Emily sighed and cocked her head to the side, deep in thought. "Anna something about you has changed." She said.

I scoffed, "It has?"
"Yes...you seem more...I don't know. I have just never seen you so dreamy and inattentive. And also there is that look in your face, like you are waiting for something and you are damn excited about it."  Emily rushed on.
I flushed again, Jason's thoughts filling my mind. His voice was at my ears, "You are acting like this because you are in love Anna Valentine. With me."

I flushed again, what was wrong with me! I couldn't stop picturing myself with Jason tonight. Seeing him again...feeling him on my skin again...talking to him again...kissing him again...

"Anna Valentine!"
"Sorry Emily."

Then Emily had given up trying to talk to me and instead she had sat there listening to the jazzy romantic music and filling in my white cast on my leg with red hearts and stupid love quotes.

As soon as it was 12:00 at night, I had walked of my room, slipping quietly into Jason's pin-protected one. I had swiftly entered the pin – 8797. Thanking my mother again and again.

Jason's smile when he saw me was huge, I couldn't help but laugh at his excitement. He looked better than yesterday, not so pale and more lively.

He had greeted me with a light lingering kiss. "Its nice to see you again." Jason smirked, like she was on a private joke. I laughed, "I should think so, it's painful enough, hobbling up here." Jason gave me a worried look, "Its okay, I would do anything to see you. I was going insane all day."

Jason's lips twitched, "Even I was. The stupid police won't leave me alone. But its fun to watch the nurses."

My eyes widened, before I recovered again. I pursed my lips in a hard line, "Maybe you should watch the nurses then to keep you entertained. I don't have to come up here."

Jason looked at me his eyes dancing with amusement, "Why not?"
"Why should I? I mean the nurses here should be enough to look after your wishes."
"My only wish is to see you and be with you Anna Valentine." Jason said, all traces of humour gone from his voice.
"Maybe you should stop looking at nurses then." I shot back harshly. Images of tall blonde nurses, strutting around in high heels and tight uniforms filled my mind.

Jason looked really hurt for a moment, before his face cleared and he started laughing. After a few seconds of laughing, he looked at me, smirking, "Anna Valentine, are you jealous?"

I went beet red again, and started down at my hands, "Of course not. It must be the medications that's making me so touché." I mumbled. Jason chuckled again, and then he looked at me, his face gentle, "Baby I don't mean looking at the nurses in 'that' way. I just enjoy seeing the fear on their faces when they see me."

"Oh." I said again, blushing and looking down at my feet.

Jason's cool fingers gently lifted my face up, "Why did you think it was the other way?" He asked, his voice soft.

"I just think that the nurses are beautiful, all of them that work here. Blonde, tall, stunning and all...and look at me...I am just...normal." I sighed looking down.
"Anna Valentine, you are the most beautiful girl I have ever met. And your personality...everthing about you addicts me. Don't ever speak of yourself like that," Jason says his eyes looking into mine and his voice firm.

Jason thinks I am beautiful. What more could I possibly ask for?

I smile, and lay my head on his chest and we talk. I tell him about Emily and mother and listens and talks to me about going back to the island with me, and how he would like to beat up the police. He also tells me about starts, and like me, I learn, he is truly fascinated about stars.

But, I cant stay forever, and when its time to leave, Jason kisses me and I promise I will see him tomorrow.

                                                          *****

I have been doing this for a week – seeing Jason at night I mean. Luckily no one except my mother knows about this, so its all fine my me. Its journalists, doctors and police with pestering questions in the morning, and Jason, and kisses and talks about stars and oceans at night.

Tonight is no different, and as usual, I am shivering with excitement of seeing Jason again. So much that after entering the pin and going inside the ward, I accidently trip over my own crutches and fall haphazardly on the floor just a few feet away from Jason's room.

My heart rate accelerates, and I curse at myself. I hope the pain killers will numb out the pain and grip my crutches and try to get back on my feet.

My broken leg doesn't agree with me. I scream out loud with the intense pain, it feels like an elephant is crushing my already crushed bone.

I fall back on the ground with a thud, staring to see black spots on my vision, and I can hear Jason screaming out my name from his room.

I am just about to black out when I hear footsteps rushing towards me, and I realized that yesterday was the last time I was with Jason.
