A Little Piece Of Heaven

A New Day and A New Song

Chapter Forty:

The next week passed by in a medically induced blur. When Matt wasn’t with me, Jace was. I was never really alone. Jared really surprised me. He didn’t leave my side for the first few days that I was conscious. After the third day, I convinced him to go back to work.

Denise and the other band parents all chipped in for a lawyer to look over the record contracts and to give them legal advice. Jared has been producing music for a long time and knowing how close I am with Matt, he gave them a good deal.

Today’s the first day in a while that I feel completely lucid. My mind doesn’t feel foggy and I’m content. If I don’t move around too much, I can pretend that I’m normal. I’m really hoping that I can go home soon. I want to be able to eat real food. The severity of my injuries has kept me here. I’m not allowed to walk around just yet. It pulls the stitches.

“Hey girl,” Jace walked in. I rolled my eyes.

“Hey guy,” I responded. He snickered. He thinks he’s so funny.

“What’s on the agenda today?” He asked. I shrugged.

“I dunno. Lame TV? Really bad hospital food? Oh, I know, we can stare at the wall.” I told him. He just grinned.

“That’s what I like about you – you’re feisty.”

“It’s true.” I agreed. “It’s like a sickness. I just can’t help it.”

“Good. I’d be sad if you changed. You’d be lame.” He nodded.

“Your butt is lame.” I countered.

“Have you seen my ass? It’s amazing. That’s how I get all the ladies.” He smirked.

“And I thought it was your completely lack of charm. You know, because they pity you.” It was my turn to smirk.

“I’ll have you know, I’ve got mad game.” He argued.

“Whatever helps you sleep at night.”

“Oh, the guys are recording in LA today.” Jace told me. I looked up in surprise.

“Oh, really? They didn’t say anything.”

“They didn’t wanna jinx it. Brian told me he’d let me know if it went well. Apparently, so far, so good.”

“Good.” I told him.

“Do you wanna take a lap around the hospital? It’s gotta be better than staying in here.” He told me.

“I don’t think I’m allowed to walk around.” I told him.

“We’ll take a wheelchair.”

“Actually, it might be good for her to walk around. Just take small steps and don’t overexert yourself.” Dr. Sullivan said as he entered the room. I nodded.

“Okay. Here goes nothin’.” I mumbled. I maneuvered my legs off of the bed and stood up. I can do it, but it takes awhile. It takes me forever just to pee. Jace put his arm around me and I leaned on him while I walked. “This is going to be fun.” I lied. He laughed and we set out.

-.-

“Why does walking have to be so painful?” I asked him as I sank down into a chair in the cafeteria.

“Because everything is more fun when it’s difficult.” Jace smiled.

“Shut up. You’re such a smartass.” I shot back. He snorted and started eating the mediocre hospital food. I grimaced and drank some juice. I watched him eat in silence. It didn’t take him long to scarf down his food. “Can you wheel me back? I dunno if I can make it all the way to the room walking.”

“Anything for you.” He winked. I rolled my eyes and stole my phone from Jace’s pocket.

How’s recording going?
-Angela

I sent a text to Matt. My curiosity is getting the best of me. I hate not knowing things.
It’s going well. We’re taking a break, at the moment. Brian spilled the beans, huh?
-Matt

He told Jace. Jace told me. I didn’t realize it was a secret.:P
-A

I wanted to surprise you.:P
-M

I hate surprises.
-A

Even good surprises? I’ll come see you tomorrow.
-M

All surprises. And okay.
-A

We’re getting ready to record more music. I’ve gotta go. I’ll call you when we get back. :)

PS-I’ve been thinking about you all day.
-Matt

Good luck. Be safe.

PS-You’re always on my mind.

-Angela

“What are you smiling about?” Jace asked. I shrugged.

“Nothing. Just talking with Matt.” I told him. “Do you think we could stroll through the garden before we go back to my room? I’m getting so sick of looking at the same walls every day.”

“Sure thing. Have you run out of books yet?” He asked me. I nodded. “I’ll pick some up from your place and drop them by tomorrow.” He promised.

“You’re the best.” I told him.

“I know.” He smirked.

-.-

Ringing brought me out my sleep. It took me a minute to force my eyes to focus and try to find my phone. I finally found it. I held it to my ear.

“Hello?” I breathed.

“Hey beautiful, did I wake you?” Matt asked me.

“Yeah, but it’s okay. I feel like I’m always sleeping with the meds they have me hooked on. How did recording go?”

“It went really well. I’ve been working on a new song. I know you told me that you hate surprises, but I think you’ll honestly like this one. It’s about you.” He revealed.

“Wait, what? You wrote a song about me?”

“It’s a good one, too. We just need to lay down some female vocals for the song. I can’t wait for you to hear it when it’s finished.” I can hear him smiling through the phone.

“That’s… incredible. You really wrote me a song?” I asked him in disbelief. “No one’s ever done anything like that for me before.”

“You deserve so much more.” He told me.

“I don’t.”

“You do. I’ll let you get some sleep. I’ll see you tomorrow. Goodnight.”

“Goodnight.” I hung up. That’s the last thing I expected, but I can’t stop smiling. Things are looking up.
