A forty-three minute flight was better than a five-hour drive, so I resorted to riding the plane. I sneaked out of the house and just left my mom a note, saying I would be back Monday morning, but I knew I would get yelled at when I come back. Well I didn’t care. Like I’d said, I wanted to see Stephen. I needed to be with him.
As soon as I got off the plane, I hurriedly hailed a cab and then went directly to the hospital where Stephen was. It was 11 in the evening and visiting hours was probably over, but I knew I would just have to call Jess and ask her to pick me up and I would be allowed to come in.
Thirty minutes later we got to the hospital and I immediately called Jess.
“I’m outside, come pick me up,” I said right after she picked up.
“What? Bailey, are you serious?” she asked, sounding really astounded.
“Yes I am. So come get me now, I need to see him,” I exclaimed.
“Okay, I’ll be right there.” Then the line went dead. I stood there waiting for a few minutes, thinking about how he looked, thinking about what had really happened. I could only hope they could still go on with the show tomorrow, with or without him. I mean of course, the fan would love it better if they were complete, but I’m sure they worry about his health as well and they would understand if he couldn’t make it.
“Bailey,” a voice called. I looked around and saw Jess walking towards me. She smiled when she saw me, and I smiled back and walked up to her, my bag in tow. We hugged.
“It’s nice seeing you,” I said happily.
“Ditto,” she said. “But well I’m not the one you came here for,” she added as we separated and she rolled her eyes. “Let’s just go up, he doesn’t know yet that you’re here.”
We walked into the hospital and up Stephen’s room, chitchatting about the tour as we walked, and about how things were in AZ. And then we finally reached the room and she smiled a little at me before opening it.
“Here you go.”
First I peeked in, and saw Josh watching the TV. He seemed shocked upon seeing me. Then there was John Go, looking shocked as well, but then soon the o turned into a smile. Jess had told me earlier that Brian was at the hotel with the crew, making Chris Gentile learn Stephen’s part for tomorrow night’s concert. Stephen, meanwhile, was there sleeping.
“He was awake when I left the room,” Jess said.
“He’s just pretending to be asleep. Come on Stephen open your eyes,” John said as Jess and I entered the room.
“Yeah man, open your eyes, Jess has a surprise for you,” Josh added, finally getting over his shock.
“Guys, I’m the patient here,” Stephen said, closing his eyes even more, “I have to rest.”
I smiled as I walked over to his bed and spoke. “Yeah, you should rest until you get better,” I said. “It was careless enough of you to get involved in an accident like this.”
He opened his eyes, surprised at the sound of my voice. It took him a moment before it sank in that I was indeed there. “Bailey?” he exclaimed and tried hard to sit up. “Bailey—wait I’ll—”
“No, don’t move too much,” I said as I walked over to his bed trying to stop him. “You might hurt yourself.”
“I’m just so happy that you’re here.” He smiled and then leaned in and gave me a kiss on the lips. As soon as it happened, Josh groaned.
“For God’s sakes let’s get out of here! They’re gonna have sex sooner or later,” he whined, standing up from his chair.
“No, they can’t, the doctor advised him to refrain from doing strenuous activities until at least tomorrow,” John said.
“But they’re gonna have a make out session and I don’t wanna see it, let’s just leave them alone for at least like two hours,” Josh pressed.
“Hey, we need at least four hours of alone time,” Stephen said mischievously as I just stood there shaking my head.
“Ew! Just shut up, I don’t wanna see you guys in action,” Josh said and then he waved at us. “Bye!”
Jess and John were just laughing as they said bye and then followed Josh out of the room.
“Well,” Stephen said as he turned to me and tried to hold my hand, “This is a great alone time.”
“Yeah,” I agreed as I sat on his bed and he moved a little, “It feels good to be reunited. Just please next time, not in the hospital anymore.”
He laughed, “Aye, aye.”
