Elizabeth was in her office. 'I should just go to sleep. This is stupid its 2am and here I am stupid reports.' she looked down typing away at some random paper work which she already forgot what it was. After about if minutes her eyes were burning and she could feel the heat radiating of the screen. She shut her computer down leaving it on her desk. She looked over at the clock it was now 3am. She walked through the door and to her room.

John was on his way for a nice sandwich. He was walking down a long hall way and there she was Elizabeth. She looked totally out of it.

"Hey, you okay?' he said

"Uh, yeah I'm just going to get so sleep. Haven't done that for a while."

"Elizabeth! You should really get some sleep believe me your work will be there in the morning you really need to take a break."

"I could say the same for you John."

John looked down. He knew she was right, but there was always something going on something more had to be done. He sighed.

"I know" was his reply

"Take tomorrow off John"

"If you take tomorrow off"

"John, you know I can't"

"Yes you can Elizabeth!"

Elizabeth just stood there 'If I take tomorrow off it will be hell catching up with all that ! But I do need a break and if john is maybe we could... NO ...Jesus what are you thinking! HE's commanding officer! Well maybe just this one day.

"John only tomorrow and at 12am right back to work!"

John smiled. " See you later Liz."

Elizabeth exchanged the smile and went to her room. It only took moments for her to fall a sleep she had been up for over 30 hours and it was time for a brake!

It was the next morning. Elizabeth looked around she saw light pouring into the window. She flipped her body and then drifted off again. It was around noon before John came knocking. She was asleep and she didn't even want to get up. "Come in" she said.

"Good afternoon" John said.

" I haven't slept this late since I was a kid!"Elizabeth said.

John smiled she sat up and patted a seat next to her. John took the offered seat on her bed. He noticed the bedspread. I was very elaborate with reds and golds. It looked Indian. " I got this when I was India. I was doing some type of treaty I don't remember which one. I remember I was in the streets when I saw it. The lady had a young child and I thought it was beautiful. I bought off of her for about $5 American." John smiled. "Have any other stories from around the world?"

John asked. "Pick a country .' She replied laughing. That afternoon John and Elizabeth had lunch and decided they would really like to just get to know each other.

They Walked into Elizabeth's room. John saw a pocket watch sitting on her night stand. "Nice Watch Liz."

"It was my fathers my mom gave it to me before I left. She said I was always the one who dad said it would go to."

Elizabeth looked at it in John's hands. Sh e went over and put her hands on its large face. John smiled.

"What are you thinking about?" John ask.

"Just growing up you know. I thought for sure I my dad would have killed me long a go for some of the stuff I did. I was so scared of him but he always loved me. I guess I just wish he was still here keeping me out of trouble."

"Elizabeth Weir in trouble? What did you do cheat once?" John asked looking surprised.

"John when I was younger...I screwed up more than you could ever know. After what happened to my mom everything changed and I just wanted to be noticed. I didn't want to be that cute perfect angel."Elizabeth replied.

"Come on Liz it couldn't have been that bad."

"When I was in first grade my mom had a bunch of strokes. They told her she had a rare disease. She had a major brain operation and then every thing changed. I was being dragged around from family member to family member and two months later my mom came home. Sh e wasn't the same never will be. Then my mom and dad argued a lot and when I got older I felt like I was to chose sides and then now and again I did. It was hard growing up. My best friend didn't have it to much better her parents were in jail for God knows what and she lived with her grandparents. We became friends telling each other secrets and then in middle school it all changed. She was popular and I wasn't so much. She stoped calling. And She lived right a cross the street. I was sure we were still friends. We were wise beyond are years. Talking and never arguing. We always stated how we felt and never hurt each other in the process. Then we got stupid and gambled our luck skipping school two times before the cops arrested us for truancy.

John's eyes got huge. "You were arrested how old were you?.

"I was 12"

"12 Jesus I don;t think I could have broken the law at 12, My dad was an ass. I was late a second of school I was grounded and beat. He didn't want me like him. I remeber when My mom and dad got a divorce. Dad told me if I didn't stay with him that he wouldn't give my mom child suport. He cheated on my mom and that was so hard on me. He told me before the divorce that you were to treat women like angels. That it was wrong to lie and cheat. Then here he was doing the same thing. Thats when the abuse began. I was so scared of him . I guess I still am.

"God, John I'm so sorry I didn't know."

"Its okay I've never told anybody."

"John, I was scared of my dad to. I remember I was at church camp in my teens and I had been doing Drugs. Well inhalants. I told my youth pastor told me that I had to tell my parents casue if not I could get adicted. That it wasn't my fault. But I was so scared he told me when we got back I must tell him but I could never look my dad in the Eye.I called on the phone and he was like I'm glad you told me. And that was it . He never did anything to me . I thought that they would find out. I guess in a sense. I was testing them to see if they really knew me . I remember one night I passed out doing the can of air freshener. I was out for a long time. I woke up and my mom and dad didn't even know it happened. They never did find out. I quiet along with the drinking that I did every n ow and then. Scary thing was...I was always alone.

"Drugs and Drinking...I drank to Liz a lot until one night dad caught me told me that only losers drank, weak little children. I was weak so mentally weak that at that point I didn't care. He knocked me out the next morning I woke up and I had dried blood all over my face/

"I guess childhood wasn't kind to us was it?"

"No I guess not."

So tell me what you think... I'll update when I get a review or two and when I have the time thanks!.
