Just In One Day (Jai Brooks)

Chapter 29

I saw him right there infront of my eyes sleeping peacefully, even thought he had stiches and a cast on his arm he still looked peaceful. I felt my eyes getting watery and each step I made closer to him I began crying. I sat on the stool beside him and look at James and gave him a weak smile. He nodded and left the room. I began to sob and I held Jai’s hand.

“I don’t even know if you can hear me but I’m here baby, we are here.” I looked at my belly.

“I love you so much and I know you are strong and could fight through this. I’m going to be right here and wait till you wake up because what else would I do. Please wake up soon Jai I’m only here for a week and I know that’s not long enough but that’s how long my mother told me. You haven’t even seen my mother face to face even though you talked to her on phone or skype  and you never seen my brother. I want you to wake up, alive and  I need you.” I started crying again.

I was holding his hand the whole time making sure if he holds my hand back or moves his finger to know that he is waking up, but nothing. I began to doze off and fell asleep in a weird position.

I felt a tap on my shoulder and I opened my eyes hoping it was Jai or some sort of news about Jai. It was Beau. I got up and hugged him and he hugged me back rubbing my back and I let few tears fall down on his shoulder.

“What are you doing here Faith? I told you he’s going to be fine and it’s bad for you to go on the plane.”

“You lied to me Beau, you told me he was fine but he ended up being on life support, if I didn’t fly all the way here I would have thought that my boyfriend was okay and there is no way he could die but I was wrong.” I snapped. I didn’t mean to I just guess it was bugging me and that my hormones are all over the place.

“Faith, I’m sorry I just didn’t want you to worry cause of the baby, and of course you wouldn’t be abl to handle yourself. I was trying to be optimistic and believe that my little brother is going to be okay and I hope you think that too. We all want him alive.” He shed a tear.

I gave him a hug and then I hugged Daniel and we both ended up talking for a while.

I was still with Jai talking to him hoping that he was listening to me some how. Cia came into the room saying Luke wanted to talk to me. I didn’t want to go at first but I should check on him too I kissed Jai’s forehead and whispered to him that I loved him and went to Luke.

“I’m going to stay here with Jai, you go talk to Luke.”  Cia said.

“Okay.”

I walked into his room while he was on his phone.

“Hey Faith, how you doing?”  Luke said as he sat up and put his phone away.

“What do you think, my boyfriend is on life support and I can’t do anything to help him but just wait if he wakes up.”  I said rudely.

“I’m sorry Luke , I didn’t mean it like that, but I’m not good.”

“It’s okay Faith, we all know how to feel, I wanted to check up on you, I would walk there myself but the nurses won’t let me get out of  the room, they said I need to stay in here for just today so thank god for that. I haven’t even seen Jai till the crash.” He started getting teary.

I went to him and sat on his bed with him and put my head on his shoulder and he put his head on top of my head. There was some silence but a good silence.

I tried to lighten up the mood and began talking to Luke.

“How are you and Cia doing?”

“We are doing good what about my little nephew.”  He chuckled.

“Doing good, I was planning to get the gender tested soon but was hoping to do that with Jai.”

James entered the room and looked at me.

“What?”  I asked.

“You look pale and I’m taking you out.”

“No, I’m not leaving Jai.”

“Faith, you haven’t ate and you haven’t slept I’m taking you to get something to eat and then back to the hotel to sleep.” James sternly said.

“No!”

“Faith, you have to go it’s not good for the baby or for you.”  Luke said.

I got up and walked over to James.

“Wait, I just want to see him one last time. I went to Jai and saw Cia there watching him she looked at me and smiled and she walked out. I sat down where she was sitting and I held his hand again.

“Listen, I’m going to go eat and sleep cause it’s not good for the baby and I’m really craving pickles but when I come back you better be awake or you better be waking up, understood.” I giggled

I kissed his cheek and went out. I told Cia to call me if anything happens to Jai and she nodded.

I was sleeping in the hotel room which James got for me and he was on the couch on twitter. I woke up with my phone ringing from Cia. I shot up from bed it was like 3am in the morning.

“What happened?!” I yelled.

“Jai he moved his hand and I think he’s waking up.”

I felt a smile appear on my face and I looked at James in happiness he looked at me confused mouthing ‘what happened’.  I told her I’m on my way nad jumped up from the bed and dragged James out of the room.

“Woah woah Faith, what happened?” James stopped me.

“Jai, he’s waking up, let’s go!”  I laughed.

We got  taxi and in 10 minutes we reached the hospital. I ditched James who was paying for the drive and I sped walked into the hospital.

I went over to Jai’s room and saw everyone crowded over his bed but I couldn’t see him cause everyone was blocking him.  I took another step until I heard a laugh. A laugh I recognized from my Jai; my boyfriend. I froze and I still couldn’t see him, did he wake up, is he finally going to see him would I be able to hug him, touch him?

Beau turned around and noticed me and then smiled.

“Faith’s here.” He said and everyone turned back and that when I saw him, smiling and looking right at me alive, Jai Brooks.
