--- A few days later --- Ville
Everyone had flown in from West Chester to St. Rose’s hospital. Dicamillo, Rake, Raab, Jenn and Jesse had all come.
I had no idea how to act around Jenn. Part of me wanted so badly to tell her what was going on between Bam and I. I wanted to just shout in her face that he didn’t love her so she could just go home. Her presence annoyed the living Hell out of me. However, at the same time, the other part of me felt some sympathy for her. She cared about him a lot and I could see that she was in pain.
It felt awkward to sit in the room with all of us crowded around Bam’s unconscious body. I couldn’t stay in there any longer.
I walked out into the hall and saw Linde leaning against the wall. I hadn’t even known that he had come by. He’d been here yesterday but I didn’t know that he had come today.
“Hey, what are you doing out here?” I asked.
“Ville - come on. I know you. I figured you’d be needing some moral support right about now.”
I pressed my lips tightly together, trying to hold back tears. I’d cried so much in the past couple of days that I felt there was nothing left to come out. But I was wrong. Once again they ran in streams down my cheeks. Linde came over and wrapped his arms around me in a tight hug. His blonde dreadlocks scratching up against the skin on my face.
“God dammit Linde,” I said softly, yet frustrated, “I begged whatever Powers That Be for no more close encounters with Bam and this is what happens.”
I buried my head deep in his shoulder. I didn’t want to think about anything right now. This was as close to comfort as I was going to get. And in the end, I really couldn’t ask for a better friend than this band mate of mine.
Slowly, people poured out of room 204 and out into the hallway. Everyone looked in a daze, no one seemed to know what to say or do.
People began making small chat - you know, the kind that is so necessary it’s painful.
I made my way past everyone and back into the room. I again found myself perched at Bam’s bedside. I just couldn’t seem to draw myself away from him. I stared at his body.
For a moment I thought that my eyes were playing tricks on me. His fingers moved. No it couldn’t be. But yes, surely enough, he was beginning to rouse. His eyes slowly opened and he looked at me with grave confusion.
His lips opened, but nothing came out. I felt a smile spread across my face.
“Bam?” I said softly. The tears that now came from eyes were tears of joy.
“What the fuck happened?” he said, stunned.
“Oh God - you really are back!” I shouted.
They all must have heard me because they came rushing into the room. Cheers erupted and everyone was ecstatic. Ape dashed towards the bed and embraced Bam in a hug, too shocked to say anything, but just clung to him like Velcro.
I stepped back and allowed his long-time friends spend time with him. They deserved it. I honestly didn’t. I was the reason that he was in this mess.
---- Hours later ---- Ville
His friends and family had mostly all gone back to their hotel rooms. It was very late at night and now only he and I sat in the room.
The television had been on for quite some time now, and we had just blankly stared at it. I’d been thinking of the right way to word something for nearly an hour. Finally I chose how to say it.
“Bam… do you remember what happened before the accident?”
He cocked his head to the side slightly, his eyes showing that his mind was digging deep inside itself for an answer.
“No… no I don’t. I don’t remember any of it. I don’t remember drinking. I don’t remember why I was at the bar alone. I don’t recall anything about it.”
Relief filled my body. I let out a deep sigh. It was a horrible thing to do, but if he didn’t remember it, I wasn’t going to bring it up. Not after I’d seen how much pain it had caused him before. I would never put him through that again. If there was the possibility that it could remain a secret then so be it.
--- Same time --- Bam
This shell that I called a body felt like it had been shattered. Apparently I only had a broken arm, a fractured bone in my leg and a head wound, but it felt like a lot more. I felt like I’d been crushed under a fucking whale.
All I wanted was for my body to feel better.
I glanced over at Ville, smiling innocently. He looked disturbed by something, but I had no idea what. I suppose that all of this must have been a little stressful for him as well.
I extended my arm that wasn’t broken and reached out, placing my hand on his thigh.
“Come here…” I said, “I missed you while I was… asleep.”
He cautiously rose. He seemed afraid to touch me.
“What?” I asked.
“Nothing… I just… you’ve got broken bones! I don’t want to do any more damage than is already done!” he said with a nervous laugh.
“Don’t worry about it Ville.” I grabbed his waist with my arm and pulled him down on top of me.
“Come on! You better do better than that! I’m in pain… make me feel better…” I said playfully.
He straddled my thighs and placed both hands on my chest. His thin frame was so beautiful. He looked so perfect. His dark hair fell across his face on one side, covering one of his eyes, yet allowing the other one to shine it’s stunning green color. His lips looked so kissable. It was hard to control myself. I realized though, that I was physically limited at the moment.
I grabbed the front of his shirt and pulled him down close to my face and began to kiss him. His mouth tasted so sweet, I lost myself in the energy that flowed between our lips. I could feel his hip bones dig into mine, a slightly painful, yet extremely pleasurable turn on.
He lifted his head for a moment, “Bam… we’re in a hospital for Christ’s sake!” he said grinning.
“So what? Fuck em’.” I replied.
He laughed again and resumed kissing me. He slid his hands behind my head and tugged lightly on my curly locks. Whenever he touched me, my body turned to jello. I thought of nothing else but what we were doing at that exact moment in time. Every individual nerve assessing the current feeling.
Ville again pulled away.
“What now?” I asked, annoyed.
“Bammie… you need to rest. This is quite frankly too much… “excitement” for you at the moment. Why don’t you try to get some sleep. I’ll stay here with you, I promise. But you need to focus on healing your body before we can try arousing it,” he said, smiling towards the end.
I sighed. I wanted him so badly. I craved to connect our bodies together again. But he was right. I needed time to get better before I could get back into… “normal” life.
He curled up by my side and nestled his head into my chest. I wrapped my arm around him, pulling him up close to me and buried my face in his hair. I’m so glad that I didn’t lose this.
Now that I had had my taste of death, I began to rethink what I valued in this life. I had come to grips with how much Ville meant to me. It had to be out in the open. The only people who knew were Dunn and the guys from HIM. But I had made up my mind, soon, very soon, it was time to tell Jenn. Which, I guess, in turn, would lead to my family and the rest of my friends finding out. I cringed at what would happen. Yet, I braced myself because it needed to be done. The truth had to come out.
