"Okay," Jonas breathed out and petted her mussed, blond hair. The bleary smile on her face made him feel sick. "Okay, love," he repeated with a nod and rolled his lips together tightly.

He looked back over his shoulder and willed his band-mate to reappear with an army of mediwizards in-tow, but that was delusion of grandeur. Wincing, Jonas rubbed his shirt sleeve over his wet eyes and turned back to Kobe, who was still blissfully smiling. At first, Jonas completely blanked on a song and simply stroked her hair, but words poured out of him when her eyelids drooped further.

"I've bee so many places in my life and time," Jonas crooned in a raw, shaky voice. It was a Muggle song. One of his favorites and he didn't know why it was the one that came to him, but it had. "I've sung a lot of songs; I've made some bad rhymes..."

"I acted out my love in stages!" His voice loudly cracked and he gasped, but pushed on through the lyrics with a clenched jaw. "With ten thousand people watch--ing."

Jonas drew a harsh, shaky breath and cupped Kobe's face. "But we're alone now," his voice quivered as her eyes closed and her smile softened. "And I'm singing this song for you..."

She stopped moving entirely. Jonas sniffed back his tears and continued to pet her hair. "Kobe?" he quietly prompted. The last of the color had left her complexion. "Kobe!?" he gasped shrilly.

Jonas gripped at the side of her face. His fingertips pushed into wet hair. He drew his hand back and lost the ability to breathe as he stared at his bloody fingers. "Oh, Gods," he woefully sobbed as tears spilled down his cheeks.

Pop! Pop! POP!

Jonas jerked toward the noise and saw that a half a dozen or so Mediwizards had appeared in Diagon Alley.

"Here!" he hoarsely shouted. "Over here!" He was on his knees and waving. Two Mediwizards broke off running in their direction. Jonas sucked for breath as he sobbed. He hoped they were in-time to save Kobe. He didn't know if he could live with himself otherwise.
