I Love You More Than I Can Ever Scream

Jasey, and I spent the next two hours staying with Danielle until finally the poor girl fell asleep while talking to us. Colin stayed with her, so Jasey felt alright with heading back to my house.

It felt strange walking back into my old room. There was a small twin bed that my parents must have put in there after they shipped mine out to LA, and a lack of posters on the wall. It looked so bare, and sad, the same way I felt about Ohio these days.

Coming back to this shit hole of a town after living in Hollywood for the time we have, well it felt like going from Time Square to Queens. Nothing compared to the buzzing feeling of Los Angeles.

Jasey, and I were sitting on my bed, both of us not speaking, but staring into the distance, thinking. I wanted to reach out and hug her, and take all of her pain away, but it was impossible. So much has happened to her, it's ridiculous. I wish it would have happened to me instead, but I can't change the past, no more than I can change the future.

I scooted close to her, and wrapped my arms around her tiny frame. Her hands curled around my forearms. I know she was thinking about Danielle, and rightfully so.

She looked so weak lying in that bed, especially when she had gotten back from the bathroom. All of the light that was in her eyes was gone, and she was so skinny, smaller than Jasey.

"She looked really sick." Jasey said.

"I know." I agreed.

"I'm so glad she has Colin." She shook her head, and bit her lip. She was holding back her tears.

"Baby, you can cry." I said stroking her hair, "I'm here for you."

"I think they'll be plenty of time for that in the coming days." She smiled smally at me. My heart broke at her words, and I nodded.

"Want to head to bed?" I asked.

"Yeah." She said, and we both got off of the bed. She walked over to her bag, and grabbed her pajamas. I stripped down to my boxers, and brushed my teeth while she changed, and then brushed hers.

I climbed back into the bed, and she joined me soon after. She buried herself in my arms, and I held her tightly.

"Jasey is their anyway she'll recover?" I asked into the darkness.

"My mom said there was a ten percent chance." She said solemnly.

"Do you think she will?" I said.

"I think Dani is a damn hard fighter."
