Sojourner
“One side of Jimmie’s face is swollen from where a fist probably pummeled it, and the bruising is bluish-purple I wince every time I look at it. But at least the machines are consistently quiet and Jimmie’s EKG is a calm wave of spikes and valleys. I lean back in an uncomfortable chair and try to rub the stress from my neck. The muscles in my shoulders ache from sitting in the same position so long, my back unsupported. Glancing at the clock, I realize that in about half an hour class will b...e starting and I won’t be there. I refuse to leave Jimmie’s side until he regains consciousness. Hopefully, then he’ll be able to tell me who hurt him. At the very least, he can hear me tell him how much I love him and how much I appreciate all the things he’s done for me.
My hand rests atop his, and I’ve seen more than a few nurses wandering in and out, taking his vitals, and looking to see if anything has changed. Already I can see sunlight seeping around the vertical blinds, creeping into the room through the frosted glass. The room is warm enough, but I can’t seem to stop shaking today. Jimmie is the only family I have, and I can’t fathom a life without him.MoreLess
