Chapter Five: The Tears won't stop

By KellyQ

Lee shivered as I snuggled closer to him. His fever has dropped somewhat but not all the way. He lost a lot a weight in the past two days and becoming weaker by each passing day. The medication (AZT) he's been taking has been helping. The only thing that I really think that's been helping the most is the family support. Lee's parents are the most open people I ever met. Never once have they criticized my boyfriend and I. Never tried to separate us or give us dirty looks. It was like they where happy for us.

I can't tell you how fortunate I feel to know that people really care even though we are ... well you know. Yes. They know. Lee's mother has been really nice to me making sure that I take care of myself; not that I don't need it. Lee's father is a different story. He seemed more intoned with what's going on with Lee.

I had to be careful what I was doing when he was around when I moved in. It wasn't until Mr. Jenyra pulled me aside one night and told me what was on his mind:

"Lee's very lucky to have someone like you."

"Thanks. I'm glad that you trust me around him."

"I have to. Besides, I trust Lee to make his own choices. And right now we need to give him all the support and love we can."

I couldn't believe how much trust he had in me. I saw it in his eyes. I was glad that they trust me around their son. Besides, I love him.

Lee finally stopped when I had his whole upper body next to mine. His ear next to my heart. I started to wonder if he could hear it? I hear his when he's fast a sleep. It makes me feel as though his heart yearns to be heard. I would often lay on his chest hearing the:

Thump Thump Thump. Each night.

His body started to relax and soon he was a sleep. I looked down at his sleeping face. He looked so innocent and helpless. I sometimes wish that I could take his pain away. He's been more in pain each day and it kills me to see him like this. I sighed. Feeling the same pain I've been having since he told me but it hasn't really gone away. In away I feel as though everyone is slowly hating me.

I choked back a tear. Don't cry, I told myself for the hundredth time. This is not the time to be weak! I got to be strong for Lee! I got to show how much I really care! I continued to look down at my boyfriend. I pulled his body up so that our faces where just inches apart as he sort of moaned. I bit the bottom of my lip hoping that I didn't wake him. His eyes opened as he looking at me sheepishly.

"I didn't wake you, did I?"

"I was dreaming .... dreaming that everything was better --- that I didn't have ---"

The insides of my body started to shake feeling my stomach turned when I saw the pain in his eyes. I started to feel even more helpless, now his dreams are torturing him. Oh why does everything just leave my Lee-chan alone? I didn't realize that my anger in my eyes was upsetting Lee until he looked at me with concern in his eyes.

"Lee-chan, what's wrong?" I asked.

"You're mad at me, aren't you?"

"What makes you think that?" I asked.

"You where looking at me angrily."

"Oh, I'm sorry," I said pulling him into a hug, "I was just thinking 'why can't everything leave my Lee-chan alone'."

I can feel his breath on my face as he kissed on the lips.

"I'm glad your hear Takato-chan," He whispered.

"Me --- Lee you're burning up!" I panicked feeling his forehead.

I quickly hopped out of bed and down the hallway and into Mr. and Mrs. Jenyra room. Mrs. Jenyra sat up with concern in her eyes as her husband sat up.

"What's wrong?"

"Lee's condition has gotten worse!"

"Thanks for telling us, Takato!" Mr. Jenyra said running out of the room.

I turned and ran out to my boyfriend's room to his side. He was still sleeping, I put my hand on his forehead, he was still burning up. Mr. Jenyra ran in and told me to get dressed and get ready to go to the hospital.

The last place I want my boyfriend to be.

*******

I paced back and forth for the third time. This is nut! How long will it take to bring his fever down? All they need to do is to give him advil. The DR walked up with disappointment on his face. Mrs. Jenyra rose to her feet asking if he was okay.

"He needs to stay here," He sighed, "his fever is to high and he's really week. To week to go home."

"Can I see him?" I asked.

The DR sighed, turned and I followed him down the hallway to the room 245. He opened the door and my eyes beheld an ire site. I stepped in as the DR. turned and walked out closing the door behind. I stepped up to see needles coming out of his arms, wires from his chest to a machine reading his heart and a plastic thin pipe attached to his nose. He sat up when I came closer and we hugged.

"I'm so scared," he whispered.

"Shh," I said putting my finger on his lips, "everything will be all right..."

"Lire," He teased running his thumb along my cheekbone.

I closed my eyes allowing my body to relax as he kissed me. He then pulled me close so that I was leaning against his chest. I can feel his hand on the back of my head and his other hand on my back.

"Takato-chan, I don't want you to worry about me," He whispered in my ear, "as long as I know that I have you, mom, dad, and ...."

He paused for one moment. I sat strait back up to see pain in his eyes.

"Suzi! Who's going to protect my sister! I made a promise, after she was born that I would protect her! Now I can't even do so much as to say hi."

I gently pulled him into a hug as he cried. I just help him until he fell asleep. I gently laid him down kissed him on the forehead. I sat there for one more moment looking at him thinking. I finally slid of the bed pulled up the covers kissed him one more time.

"I'll protect her," I whispered, "nothing will come to her."
