OLIVER POV-
She looked so perfect sleeping on the couch of our tour bus. Already washed up and wearing some of my shruken clothes. I didn't quite understand what had become of her. What happened? or what the situation was. I just knew that I had to be there for her, every step of the way.
" Dude, What're we going to do? "
Matt (Nicholl) asked. I shrugged.
" I don't know man. All I know is that she's not leaving my side.."
" We can't have a chick on tour with us Oliver! "
I didn't care what Matt said. Or what anyone said, I was not going to leave Brittany in Alabama. Whether anyone liked it or not.
" Just stop Matt, I'm not leaving her and that's all I have to say. We done here? " He nodded walking away cussing under his breath.
I heated up some chicken soup from a can and walked over to Brittany.
" Hey, " I patted her back gently. She awoke holding her hand over her head.
" Oli..What am I....oh. I thought it was a dream." She looked down. She looked horrible, yet perfect. She looked hurt. Badly.
I set the noodle soup on her lap.
" Oliver.. I'm not sick." She said with a broken grin.
" I know, But.. I thought it would help. "
She smiled and took a big spoonful to her mouth.
" Wait It's-" She pulled back.
" Ouch! Its hot! "
She put the bowl down. I grabbed a napkin and dabbed her lips. She seemed to be staring at me. I couldn't complain. It was enjoyable.
" Thank you. For everything. " I shook my head.
" Don't thank me. I'd do anything for you."
I put the napkin down and looked into her eyes.
She leaned in and brushed her lips softly against mine.
I fought the urge to pull her in for another one, maybe it's just too soon.
What with Cristal's death, I gotta say it hurts me too. Cristal was like my mother, the mother that actually cared. A mother who was always home, always there for me. Not a work addict who only had a minute a day with her son.
I just always hid my pain well, that's why no one noticed.
" I'm sorry, I just-"
" Don't apologize. I was going to do it anyway." She giggled and picked her bowl back up sipping instead of swallowing. Which was recommended.

I slid her in my arms her head rocking back and forth from her slumber.
I laid her in my bed pulling the sheets over her body and lightly pressing my lips against her forehead.
I begun to walk out before I heard her silent groan.
" Noo!!!! Nooo!! YOU STUPID BITCCH! YOU KILLED HER! YOU- KILLED HER!! " She yelled kicking and shoving the pillow around her. Tears streamed down her shut eyes.
I ran up to her holding her hand and shaking her awake.
" Brittany." Her eyes fluttered open her mouth wide in shock. Tears still in her eyes.
" Oliver.." I held her close to me clutching her head against my shoulder.
" Don't worry. I'm here.. Just try to sleep OK? "
She nodded pulling the sheets over her once again.
" Can you sing to me? "
I nodded crawling on the bed next to her. She placed her head against my stomach as I stroked her hair.
" When I look into your eyes I could see a love restrained." I sung November Rain by Guns & Roses keeping it slow and comforting.
I felt the words dig into my chest, they were all true. All of my feelings for Brittany pouring out in a song.
" Darling when I hold you, Don't you know I feel the same."
She shifted her grip tighter her eyes growing heavier.
" Nothing lasts forever and we both know hearts could change. And its hard to hold a candle in the cold November rain."
My voice got tired and heavy. I snuggled closer to Brittany her breathing against my bare chest.
" Why can't you just admit you love me.. If it's true."
And soon enough I dozed off.
