Re: To Whom It May Concern

"That'd be great." It mattered to me. I had wanted to be there for her first recording but so much came up in a day. I couldn't even get a hold on anything and was in a rush but chose not to speed. I figured I'd play it safe.

Playing it safe isn't always safe at all. I rubbed the back of her hand with my thumb and closing my eyes. I was trying to make her feel better.

I think I turned red. He was rubbing the back of my hand with his thumb! Because it was a little awkward, I wanted to my hand away... but he was too sweet.. and it was almost... calming.

"Great! Just tell me when, okay?" I reached over and pulled a nearby chair a little closer so I could sit by him.

"I'll be out of here before ya know it... so how is Dan handling all of this...?" I asked. I couldn't keep my eyes open - it really hurt. I pressed a button on the bed after finding it and turned them off. I just couldn't take it.

"Sorry. It hurts and I want to be able to look at you."

**Jayrin** Wed Mar 17, 2010 11:42 am

I turned really red. "Trust me... you don't want to look at me right now... and Dan is freaking out."

**Ikuar** Wed Mar 17, 2010 11:44 am

"You were crying?" I reached up and was ready to wipe her tears away but I wasn't sure if she wanted me to do that. I hesitated. "If he is still freaking out when you go, get him a Dr. Pepper and a chill pill for me, will ya?"

**Jayrin** Wed Mar 17, 2010 11:46 am

I frowned at him. "We were all worried, okay? And yes, I will do that for you... where can I find a chill pill? I might need one too."

**Ikuar** Wed Mar 17, 2010 11:49 am

I pulled my hand back and looked up at the ceiling, "I figured you all were..." I was at a loss for words suddenly. "He'll probably run in and freak out in front of me like he always does... just like when he had me try this one food and I had this very serious allergic reaction to it. It had shell fish in it and I was deadly allergic. But... I lived!" I grinned at her.

**Jayrin** Wed Mar 17, 2010 11:53 am

I laughed. "his face when he realized I got to see you first was priceless... he was really sad. I guess I should have let him come first... but I got a little selfish."

**Ikuar** Wed Mar 17, 2010 11:54 am

"Meh. I don't think I'm up for seeing him and hearing him go on and on about whatever he has to go on about." I grumbled, "You were much easier to listen to considering I had just woken up when you came in."

**Jayrin** Wed Mar 17, 2010 1:34 pm

"Ah... I'm easier to listen to? How is that?" I asked, a little intrigued.

**Ikuar** Wed Mar 17, 2010 1:59 pm

"Because you didn't come in panicking over how I was feeling and mentioning how we'll get me back on my feet and then get concerts going again... you understand yet?" I asked with a soft chuckle. My chest was really hurting.

**Jayrin** Wed Mar 17, 2010 2:01 pm

"Oh... well... I want you to take your time to heal up! Money isn't the biggest issue here." I replied with a soft smile.

**Ikuar** Wed Mar 17, 2010 2:18 pm

"No, I know it's not. My back is killing me." I couldn't move at all and the more I tried the more it made me feel like it would break in half. I relaxed, teeth chattering a little, "It hurts a lot."

**Jayrin** Wed Mar 17, 2010 2:24 pm

I set my elbow on the arm of the chair and laid my chin in my hand, staring at him with a smile. "Want me to massage it for you? I promise to be gentle."

**Ikuar** Wed Mar 17, 2010 2:28 pm

"I dunno. It's in bad shape and I have rods back there... that's probably why it hurts." I pressed a button on the bed to push myself up a little. My hands were shaking as if they were freezing cold. I guessed it was part of having spine trouble, I wasn't sure.

**Jayrin** Wed Mar 17, 2010 4:06 pm

"Ah... I'm sure that is why it hurts... I wish I could help in some way..." I said, frowning a bit. I didnb't like that he was in so much pain.

**Ikuar** Wed Mar 17, 2010 4:09 pm

"I'll be out of this before you know it." I said confidently. I started to hold my breath a bit and found myself laying the bed back. It hurt a lot and I was certain my doctor would be angry for moving my back around.

"I guess you can let them know I'm alright. I'll be the one telling Dan that I can't sing for a couple of weeks."

**Jayrin** Wed Mar 17, 2010 4:20 pm

I nodded. "Alright... do you want me to send Dan in?"

**Ikuar** Wed Mar 17, 2010 4:21 pm

I could have swore I twitched horrifyingly, "No. I am in a lot of pain right now and I don't need to hear Captain Crunch going on about whatever today was supposed to hold. I'm having a really hard time talking too and here I go on talking."

**Jayrin** Wed Mar 17, 2010 4:41 pm

I had to laugh at that. "Alright... I just tell then you're sleeping then." I stood and moved towards the door. "Want anything specific for dinner? I hear hospital food is horrible."

**Ikuar** Wed Mar 17, 2010 4:46 pm

"I don't think I can eat anything right now. But thank you." I knew as soon as she left I was going to break down. I was in so much pain. It hurt to breath and move and my head was aching even worse. I couldn't break down in front of her.

**Jayrin** Wed Mar 17, 2010 4:56 pm

"Oh... okay." I knew I sounded a little disappointed. Well, I hope you get better... I'll see you tomorrow then..." I turned and walked out, sighing a bit after I closed the door.

Had he even wanted to see me? It didn't seem like it... but then, he was just in a wreck. That would throw anyone out of sorts.

**Ikuar** Wed Mar 17, 2010 4:58 pm

I wanted to sit with her longer but I was in so much pain I couldn't focus. I immediately closed my eyes as tight as I could and tried to sleep. It was impossible though. It hurt and I couldn't tell what wasn't hurting anymore.

God help me. I'm so sorry, Rae...

**Jayrin** Wed Mar 17, 2010 5:03 pm

I walked down the hall, back to Kay and Dan. I forced a happy smile, but I knew they could see right through it. I wasn't a good liar. "Well, he's okay... he'll definitely make it! It'll just be a pretty long road to recovery. He's sleeping right now though so you can't go see him.... sorry."

**Ikuar** Wed Mar 17, 2010 5:04 pm

-*Kay*-

"Sounds logical. He's had a pretty rough day with rods in his back and his lungs the way they are. Does he sound bad?" I asked out of curiosity.

Dan sighed. "I should head on home. See ya guys." He started to dial a number as he was going.
