Days and weeks went by, and Jenny's parents never came to the hospital. They'd come when she woke up, they said. The other boys where still on vacations and JC knew better than to even try to contact them. Besides, they would just say, "Oh. Well, that sucks."
One morning Justin walked in to where JC sat next to the bed and stood in front of him.
"Yeah?" JC asked, staring up at Justin.
"I got it from here, go on home, take a shower, get some sleep or something," Justin said.
"I just took a shower, I slept all night, that's ok," JC said, not moving, ignoring the flash of anger in Justin's eyes.
"Who's the boyfriend here?" Justin struggled to keep his voice pleasant for Jenny.
"You, techinically," JC shrugged. "Who's always there for her when she's hurt? And when she's sad? And when she's crying?"
"......" Justin stared at him.
"Just a thought," JC shrugged, smiled brightly, and shifted his hand, which held Jenny's tightly.
Justin stalked out and JC looked at Jenny. "You're gonna wake up, Little girl," He commanded. "I'm gonna sing or something until you get so sick of my voice you wake up and tell me to shut up!"
JC sang. And sang. And sang some more until he'd sang every single song that *N Sync had ever recorded. And then he sang every single song he knew Jenny loved. All her favorites, like "With Arms Wide Open" by Creed and even "The One" by the Backstreet Boys. Then he started singing random songs that just popped into his head. "Higher" by Creed. "I Knew I Loved You" by Savage Garden. "Promises" also by Savage Garden. Things like that.
JC looked at her face, and whispered, "I mean every word of this song," JC whispered before he began singing.
All I am, all I'll be
Everything in this world
All that I'll ever need
Is in your eyes
Shining at me
When you smile I can feel
All my passion unfolding
Your hand brushes mine
And a thousand sensations.
Seduce me
Cause I
I do cherish you
For the rest of my life
You don't have to think twice
I will love you still
From the depths of my soul
It's beyond my control
I've waited so long to say this to you
If you're asking do I love you this much
I do
In my world before you
I lived outside my emotions
Didn't know where I was going
'Til that day I found you
How you opened my life
To a new paradise
In a world torn by change
Still with all my heart
Till my dying day
I do cherish you
For the rest of my life
You don't have to think twice
I will love you still
From the depths of my soul
It's beyond my control
I've waited so long to say this to you
If you're asking do I love you this much
I do
As he finished the song, Jenny's hand clutched tightly in his own, Jenny squeezed his hand.
"Jenny?" JC was ecstatic. "Jenny, baby, do that again."
Jenny's hand squeezed his again, this time tighter.
JC smiled. "Jenny, I love you."
The corners of Jenny's lips twitched upwards and she squeezed his hand tighter, not letting go.
