I Am Here.

“We won! We won!” CC screamed at Jake and Jinxx who continued to run down the hallway towards CC and I, who were already at Ashley’s door. When they reached us, Jake put his hands on his knees to0 catch his breath then got up and slowly opened Ashley’s door. Ashley was lying in bed, softly flirting with the attractive nurse that stood next to him. Typical Ash. “ASH-Y POO!” CC yelled and ran up to Ash and gave him a gentle and teasing hug.

“Get off me dick” Ash said laughing, shoving CC off of him. Ashley scribbled something on a piece of paper from the desk next to the bed and handed it to the nurse with a wink and a smack on the ass, as she walked out the door giggling.

“Well I see you’re feeling better.” Jinxx laughed, “I’m surprised you have this much strength and are this awake.”

“Haha, yeah, just a little concussion and the massive gash in my stomach with tons of stitches and bandages. It’s pretty sick actually; I’ll have to show you guys eventually. How are you doing Em?” Ash asked a little concerned, staring at me still sitting in my wheelchair.

“I’m really good actually. It doesn’t hurt a whole lot. Then again I’m pumped up on a shit ton of drugs.” I laughed

“Same, it’s niiiiiiice” Ashley laughed. He then got serious. “Where’s Andy?”

“Andy had it much worse than you. The doctors honestly thought you two were going to die, but somehow managed. He’s just out of surgery and we can’t see him for a while.” Jinxx stepped in the conversation.

“Oh shit” Ashley gasped, “was it really that bad…damn.”

“Yeah but at least you’re both okay” CC said in a babying voice while hugging Ash again. Ash shoved with all his might and CC fell to the ground. “Fine, don’t love me then.” CC teasingly pouted.

“Excuse me?” a doctor knocked on the door, causing us all to turn. “Mr. Biersack has awoken early and he has been asking for you Emily.”

“Me? Oh okay, come on guys. Let’s go see Andy.” I instructed, wheeling myself toward the door.

“You guys go. I’m going to stay and keep my Ashy mashy bear company” CC baby voiced again, attempting the hug yet again.” Ash just accepted it this time.

“Alright, we’ll come back with a report.” Jinxx informed, grabbing the wheelchair handles and started pushing me out the door and toward the elevator. Once the elevator doors closed and we started going up, I realized Jake was crying a bit. I took his hand, gave it a little squeeze, looked up at him, and gave him a little reassuring smile. He wiped his tears as the elevator doors opened. We 3 went down the hall to find Andy’s door was already open, waiting for us. As we came in, I saw the extent of Andy’s injures. His whole left arm was in this giant case thing, not like a cast and nothing like a bandage. It was this weird white thing that looked like a machine than anything else. He had bruises all over his chest and was wearing a nose piece to help him breathe. It was hooked up to the oxygen machine, which was making an awful sucking noise that just makes you cringe and instantly think “hospital” if you closed your eyes and tried to place it.

“Look guys,” Andy giggled with a smile, happy to see us, his voice sounding nasally because of the thing covering his noise,” I’m like a fucking stormtropper or some shit.” We all giggled a bit.

“Both you and Ashley, laughing already. It’s not like you got in a serious accident or anything.” Jake pointed out laughing. We all laughed again. Jake and Jinxx filled Andy in with the extent of how more serious the situation could have been and how lucky everyone was to be alive. Andy listened, but starred at me as I wheeled over to the window and looked up at the dark night sky and all the beautiful stars. I’ve always had a thing for the sky. I’ve always been obsessed, especially with the stars. Something about them just calls to me, like I belong up there with them, like they’re calling to me. The stars bring me peace, serenity, calmness. It might be a little weird but I can’t help just driving to this one spot about 30 minutes away from my house that’s out in the country. No lights, a few cars passing by once in a while, but just a lot of darkness and the stars. I would climb out the sunroof and sit on top of the roof of my car, just star gazing for hours.

“Hey guys, could Emily and I have a couple minutes alone, please.” Andy asked, pulling me away from my thoughts. The guys left and closed the door. I continued looking out the window as I could feel Andy studying me.

“You pulled me out, didn’t you?” Andy asked after a while.

“Yes.” I said, turning my wheelchair so it was facing him.

“I just wanted to just tell you how much I’m thankful you did that. I could have been burned alive and you saved me, I don’t know how you had the strength to carry me out, but you did it.” Andy said with tears in his eyes, “and here; this is yours.” And outstretched his hand, I wheeled over to see he was holding my guitar pick necklace that his accidently ripped off my neck. His hand was all red and sweaty and there were deep chain marks all over his hand and a distinctive outline of a guitar pick. “I haven’t let go of it since. I think it helped me pull through…I kept reminding myself that I needed to return it to you and if I died during surgery, I could never return it…I think it saved my life.” Andy said, dropping it in my hands. I looked at it for a second, and then returned it back into his hand, taking mine and closing his hand around the necklace. I leaned over the bed, inches from Andy’s confused, tear and pain stricken face and whispered in the most sincere voice, locking eyes with him,

“You need it more than I do then.” still holding his hand closed. Andy cracked a smile as a tear fell from is eye. I opened his hand and took the necklace and unhooked the clasp. I put it around Andy’s neck and closed the clasp shut. He lifted it up and studied his new piece of jewelry. He looked me dead in the eyes, with passion in his,

“I guess you’re MY Saviour now.”
