|| Take Me Away, River Phoenix ||

River glimmered at the brown skinned girl as she layed on the hospital bed, hooked up to an oxygen tank. Nothing but pure silence filled the room other than, the rhythmic beeps coming from the machine with Rowan' heartbeat. 8 days, it had been eight daze since Rowan almost died from an overdose of opiods. Rowan still hasn't woken up, she was in an eight day long coma.

Many friends of Rowan's had came by to visit her, most people River had seen at the viper room. Rowan's most payed visitor was of course Julie and Terrence. Samantha would try but Julie would make her leave. Julie was growing scared because Rowan wouldn't wake up, the doctors told her that Rowan was okay and just needed to pull through on her own.

River held Rowan's hand in worry, he was telling her the story of how he met his first love Martha, he knew Rowan probably couldn't hear him, but would continue too tell her every detail. Unknown to River, she could hear, she was just waking up coming out of her coma.

Rowan's eyes started too flutter open slowly, all she could hear was an angelic man's voice talk about how his ex girlfriend would do certain things that would slightly upset him. River stopped talking once he felt Rowan grip his hand, he glimmered at her in hope that she was coming out of it.

Rowan opened her eyes and closed them quickly too try regaining her vision. She screamed in shock of her surroundings. A nurse walked in seeing that Rowan was finally awake, she beamed excitedly.

"Well hello there, its about time your awake. I am nurse Pamela, you have been sleeping for eight days, you must be starved! Can I get you something?" The nurse cheered.

Rowan glared at her smiling slightly, before nodding.

"Yes please." Rowan whispered.

"Alright there little honey I'm gonna go get you some food and tell the doc you're awake. Stay put." She beamed.

"Yeah because I'm totally gonna get up and dive out of the window when I am feeling week." Rowan noted in a sarcastic tone.

Rowan looked around the hospital room,sensing some sort of presence by her. Across from her bed sat a chair with a handsome familiar young man with long beautiful blonde locks and crystal blue eyes. He had a happy expression on his face he couldn't help but to blush a little.

"I'm glad you're finally awake." He coped.

Rowan then realized who he was and how he was even with her.

"You're River Phoenix.. I mean you are the ghost of River, aren't you dead?" Rowan blurted aloud.

River chuckled and leaned up a little. "I am dead in your world but in mine I'm very much alive, but it gets lonely. You're Rowan Skye." River replied.

Rowan grew shocked. "Hh- how do you know my name?" Rowan simpered.

River rose out of the chair and trotted closer to Rowan.

"Well I actually stay by the viper room and wander. You have a beautiful voice, I also know that you are a vegan like I was, and you are big in the animal rights world."

Rowan blushed and chuckled a little.

"Well.. Mr. Phoenix can you tell me why I'm here?" Rowan prompted. She sat up and tried to steady herself realizing she was hooked up to all sorts of machines.

River then turned his gaze to Rowan and strutted next to her bed before slowly sitting next to her. Rowan blushed slightly, it was obvious she found River attractive, I mean who doesn't? He was River Phoenix, why he was with her was unknown. River sighed as he peered at Rowan's deep brown eyes.
