Realistic or Modern Don’t Leave Me Like This

[decadent-rider]

She frowned a little and gave him a thumbs down. “Migraine. Cold damp towel and no touchy would be nice.” She mumbled. Part of her wished the world could see Jamie in these moments and how patient he was with her especially when she got these flare ups during some of their precious alone time but mostly she was glad they had these private moments. Intimate in their own way.

He sighed a little and shook his head. “Get yourself calmed down as much as you can and just call me when you can tomorrow okay? I know he’s gonna be just fine. Just be with him alright?” He coaxed never very good with someone getting emotional on him.

Jamie gave a small nod and kissed her hand gently before going to get a cool towel for her. He smiled softly and placed it on her forehead "Here you go beautiful." He said quietly watching her some "I love you."

Max took a deep breath and nodded some "Thank you Wayne, I'll call you tomorrow." She said softly before hanging up and going to the waiting room holding Greyson close to her on her lap.

 

[decadent-rider]

It wasn’t much longer before someone came out calling eddies name, smiling a little at the young woman and her child. “Come with me. He’s doing alright. Stable. He was lucky we were called as soon as they knew what was happening, this could have been a lot worse.. he should be fairly coherent but you can go and see him if you like. Both of you. His nurse will be in and out to check on him periodically.” He told the girl.

She hummed quietly and just smiled. “Thanks… love you handsome.” She told him, letting herself go back to sleep mot hopefully rest it off for the morning

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max got up when they called Eddie's name and quickly followed the nurse as they got to the room. She walked inside and took a shaky breath seeing him bad he looked, his body was paler than normal and his eyes seemed sunken in "Eddie?" She said quietly hoping he would look at her.

Jamie stayed beside her the rest of the night watching shows on his tablet and headphones so that he didn't disurb her too much. He also ignored his phone most of the night not answering anything from Jess.

 

[decadent-rider]

He glanced over at the mention of his name and just frowned a little seeing them there. “Hey… what are you doing here?” He mumbled, confused as to why she’d dragged Greyson out of bed to come here.

Jess was pissed by the time she saw him the following morning at his next job. “I thought we agreed to not turning cell phones off overnight? What the hell could have been so important that no one could contact you?” She muttered, walking through to an interview room they had set up for his last day of press.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max frowned deeply as she watched him. She moved to let Greyson lay on the small couch that was on the opposite side of the bed before going to sit beside Eddie "Because I got a call at 4 a.m. from a random guy saying that you had OD'ed again." She said quietly letting a few tears fall "Eddie I'm sorry....I didn't mean what I said to you."

Jamie frowned a bit as Jess scolded him and gave a slight roll of his eyes "Carmen had a migrane, I was trying to keep it quiet for her." He muttered before walking through to the interview room and plastering a smile onto his face.

 

[decadent-rider]

He frowned and sighed a little. “That’s not what I meant. I don’t really want him seeing me like this. Plus he’s got school in the morning…. I just want him to be oblivious to all of this.” He mumbled. “I might not have helped make him but I’ve considered him my kid since I met him…. Don’t ever pull that shit again. Cause even if we split some day he will always be my son… he’s not gonna be without a dad.” He told her, choking up.

She rolled her eyes a little and pat his chest “don’t do it again. There was a lot of work to discuss.” She muttered, going to get some coffee from the refreshments table, keeping an eye on him through all the interviews.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max shook her head some and let a few tears of her own fall "Eddie, I shouldn't have said what I did. I was emotional and I didn't mean it." She said quietly before glancing back at Greyson "He's been worried sick about you all night...and I had to make sure you were okay." She murmured before taking a shaky breath "I called Wayne....he told me what happened this morning."

Jamie gave a heavy sigh and went on with his interviews. As they finally finished up he made his way out with Jess "Anything else we have to do before my day off starts?"

 

[decadent-rider]

He frowned and nodded, squeezing her hand tightly. “It wasn’t on purpose… we didn’t know it was cut bad.” He mumbled, not really admitting out loud that he was using again but it was the closest he would get.

She smiled and nodded. “Meeting at my hotel.” She told him while hailing a cab.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max gave a small nod and took a shaky breath "How long....how long have you been using again?" She asked frowning when he looked away from her "Eddie don't close up on me, how long?"

Jamie got back to the hotel and groaned softly as he went straight in the take a shower trying to wash off Jess's scent as much a possible. He gave Carmen a small smile as she came into the room and blew her a kiss through the shower door "Care to join me?"

 

[decadent-rider]

She nodded tiredly, stripping off and stepping in with him, slipping her arms around him. “Mmm your day alright?” She asked quietly, just appreciating the closeness for a minute.

Eddie tensed, still turned away from her but he wasn’t ignoring her. His eyes had glazed over and while she was asking him again he started seizing

 

[Forever6A7X]

Jamie wrapped his long arms around her small frame and nodded softly "Mhmm, interviews went well. They actually asked some interesting questions." He murmured as he closed his eyes and let his head fall back into the water "How was your day?"

Max went to ask him again but went wide eyed as the alarms went off. She quickly rushed to Greyson and pulled him up to get out of the room thankful that he stayed asleep against her.

 

[decadent-rider]

She shrugged a little. “I went to Starbucks and came back here and that was it. I was supposed to get more work done but I’ve been fuzzy all day” she told him, reaching for the shower gel

Greyson finally woke up before they were allowed back in and grumbled some, looking around the hallway. “Mommy… where are we?” He asked her, rubbing his eyes.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Jamie frowned deeply and kissed her forehead gently "I'm sorry love, don't worry though. Tomorrow its you, me, and that bed all day." He said softly

Max frowned deeply as she heard his voice "At the hospital baby." She whispered kissing the top of his head "Go back to sleep baby okay?"

 

[decadent-rider]

She smiled and nodded, “that sounds wonderful.” She murmured, smiling at him. “You wanna go get dinner? There’s a Taco Bell down the street and I’m curious as to what it tastes like over here.” She told him.

He frowned a little and looked around some more and frowned. “Where’s daddy?” He asked, yawning and reaching for her, wanting to be on her lap while there was still people going in and out of eddies room.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Jamie chuckled softly and nodded some "Yeah that sounds great." He said before yawning "I'm very curious now too on how it tastes."

Max went a little further down to the small bench in the hall and pulled him up to sit on her lap "He is in a room baby, his friend is sick and wanted up to come down and pick him up. But we gotta go soon to get you ready for school okay?"

 

[decadent-rider]

She nodded and smiled. “Good. Cause it wasn’t really a question,” she smiled, getting out once she was freshened up and got dressed again.

Greyson frowned but nodded. “I wanna see daddy.” He grumbled, rubbing at his eyes a little more, still completely oblivious to the chaos down the hall even when they were taking a crash cart through.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Jamie chuckled some and got freshened up as well before he got out and dried off. "You think they'll have new menu items?" He asked as he got dressed

Max did her best to stay calm and shook her head some "No baby....it looks like he may need to stay with his friend. Kids can't go in there right now." She said quietly

 

[decadent-rider]

Someone was finally coming out to speak to her and let her know she could go back in now and greyson just looked at her confused. “But you said it was daddy’s friend.”

“No idea. Here.” She handed him a baseball cap and sat down to wait for him to be ready.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max gave a small nod and took a shaky breath "Its very complicated Greyson okay?" She said before looking up at the nurse "Could you let them know that I'll be back very soon? I need to get him ready for school." She said quietly

Jamie finished getting ready and chuckled softly before kissing the top of her head. He popped on the baseball cap before they left the room and quickly made it downstairs with her.

 

[decadent-rider]

She nodded and left her to it, stepping back into the room Eddie was in, checking him over once more before letting him rest.

He woke up shortly before max came back and just glanced over at her. “How’s baby doing?” He mumbled just watching her tired, wanting to get out of there and get home.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max gave a small shrug and sighed softly "They're okay, Greyson is too. He thinks you're here for a friend." She said softly as she sat beside him.

Jamie got back to the room with her clutching the three bags of food happily to him. "Okay now that we have the food, crap movie on the TV?" He asked happily

 

[decadent-rider]

He frowned and just sighed a little. “We shouldn’t lie to him. He doesn’t need to know it was drugs but still.” He mumbled, “don’t tell anyone you know what school he goes to.” He mumbled, still not looking good at all.

She smiled and shook her head. “I don’t have the attention span for that. You wanna binge some criminal minds instead?” She asked, taking a seat and set down her bag full of drinks

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max frowned deeply and gave a heavy sigh "I'll think of something to tell him when I pick him up." She murmured before kissing his forehead gently "Eddie you have to try and get clean baby, I can't do this alone." She whispered

Jamie chuckled softly and gave a nod "Fair enough, Criminal Minds it is." He said happily before he got their food sorted between the two of them.

 

[decadent-rider]

Carmen snuggled up happily, setting up her laptop and tucked in, feeling the most relaxed that she had so far on their trip.

He frowned and just nodded, giving her hand a tight squeeze. “I’m not going anywhere babe. Promise.” He murmured, “I love you. You and greyson and the little bean.” He smiled tiredly.
