Chapter Forty Seven Raven

            Sitting on the bed I crossed my legs watching a poorly done sitcom. The guys had gone to the motel I had been staying at, packed and brought my things over to Lisa’s. It’s been three days since I’ve woke up and under doctor’s orders I couldn’t go with the guys on tour for another two weeks. So I was going to be staying with Lisa until I could go back with the guys.

            Giving up on the TV I turned it off and walked over to the windows and looked out. People were milling around doing their daily things that needed to be done. Some were probably meeting up with friends for a night out of town, others trying to find a moment of peace for just a few minutes, and then people like me, wondering about they’re going to do next.

            “Hey, you ready?” Turning my head I smiled as Andy walked towards me. He wrapped his arms around my waist and kissed my head.

            “Almost,” I said, looking back out the window.

            “It’s only two weeks, and then you get to come back with us and leave Texas behind.” Andy rubbed my shoulders as I leaned my head against the glass.

            “What about Lisa and Jace?” I asked.

            “You’ll still see them; we can visit them whenever you want after this.” I shook my head, frustrated. Rubbing my forehead I closed my eyes and stayed quiet. Taking a deep breath in I pushed my hair back and stood straight starting to move out of Andy’s hold when he stopped me. I looked into his eyes but instead looked down at the ground.

            “Raven, what’s wrong baby?”

            “Nothing,” I said shaking my head, still not looking at him. He put his fingers under my chin and gently lifted it up so I had to look at him.

            “Yeah there is. Now tell me, what’s wrong.”

            “Nothing,” I repeated.

            “What happened to us not keeping things from each other?” He stared at me, his blue eyes sad. Was that how I used to look? Did I use to have sad eyes all the time?

            Sighing I reached up and lightly kissed him before coming back down.

            “I’m just wondering if it’s a good idea for me to come back.” I said. His eyebrows closed together as he sat on the hospital bed.

            “What do you mean?”

            I stayed standing but loosely clasped my hands around his neck. “I mean after everything that’s happened, is going back on tour with you guys really the best thing? Maybe I should stay here until the tour is over and then go back to LA with you.”

            Andy took a deep breath in and smiled, letting out a shaky laugh.

            “What?” I asked.

            He shook his head again and kissed me hard on the mouth, a gift I which returned. “I thought you were questioning our relationship Raven. That’s why I laughed.” Andy explained once we pulled apart.

            “Oh,”

            “Yeah, and Raven,” I lifted my eyes to his, “after everything that’s happen, I do think you should come with us after the two weeks. Every time you’re not with me I go crazy. You are the reason for why I breathe now, for why I wake up in the morning. If you had, for some unknown reason, didn’t wake up and died. I would have died too. I would have followed you Raven to be with you because I wasn’t, and am not, going to lose you, ever. I love you with my heart and soul Raven.”

            My eyes filled with tears as I curled my fingers into his hair. Gently Andy pulled me down to him so I was straddling him and kissed me. He cradled my face as I kept the two of us close to each other. It wasn’t filled with lust and desire and need. This kiss was filled with many, many things. There was hope, happiness, the soft promises of a well-deserved future together, tenderness and most of all, the love that we have for each other that we will always have for each other.

            Once we pulled away to breathe I noticed that Andy was crying too. I reached up to wipe them away but he shook his head and captured my lips with his again in another slow kiss.

            “I will always love you,” We whispered to each other. Smiling I leaned down for another kiss, noticing that I no longer hesitated to kiss him like I used to in the start.

            “It’s okay to be the one to kiss first Raven. You don’t have to wait for me to kiss you,” Andy explained, smiling at my shyness. I shook my head.

            “Think of it this way then, if wanting to be kissed is being selfish, be selfish, because it’s okay to be selfish once in a while.”

            Hearing someone clear their throat we pulled away from each other and looked at the doorway.

            “I never thought that doing it in a hospital could be romantic.” Ashley smirked at us causing me to smile.

            “Dude, do you have any idea how many have been in that bed. I used to work in a hospital; I know things and doing it on the hospital beds is not the way to go.” CC chimed in. I shook my head as Andy laughed.

            “Can we leave the happy couple alone? Let them be.” Lisa said but secretly high fived CC and Ashley.

            “Na, they’re fine. See, they find this funny.” Jake said. Lisa shocked her head but smiled

            “Ready Raven, Jace is very excited to have you staying with us.” Lisa said, walking further into the room.

            “Why do I have the feeling that it’s more you than Jace?” I smiled at her and got off Andy, reaching for my bags when he ran past me and swiped them up. I raised my eyebrows but didn’t question it; I didn’t really want to carry them anyway.

            “Because these two weeks are going to be so fucking awesome,” Lisa shouted, earning looks from nurses walking by. We laughed and out of the corner of my eye I saw CC put his arm around Lisa’s shoulders. Tugging on Andy’s hand I caught his attention and nodded my head in their direction. He just smiled and winked causing my eyes to widen in which he replied with a slight shake.

            Just friends, he mouthed. I nodded my head and looked back at them, hoping that CC knew that they were just friends.

            Feeling Andy wrap his arm around my own shoulders I snuggled into his side, tucking my hand into his left back pocket. Andy squeezed my shoulder and kissed my forehead and held me so that there was no more space between us.

            And I knew right then and there, that everything was going to be right.
