I'm
exhausted. Since our fight we haven't spoken a single word to each
other. My case load has increased and I haven't had a lunch break in
three days, And to top it all off I can't seem to fall asleep. Which,
like everything else, is his fault. I've become so used to falling
asleep with him next to me that I can't seem to do so without him. In
fact I can't even stand to look at my bed and consider falling asleep
alone in it. I'm thinking of crawling in bed with Lainey or Kelly. I
punch my pillow and sit up in my bed, silently cursing Patrick Drake.
Suddenly I hear our doorbell ring. I know Kelly's in the living room
so I don't bother to get up. I'm furious with Patrick for making me
mad at him. All i want to do is get up and go to Metro court and be
with him, but I refuse. He's being unrealistic. Suddenly I hear a
firm knock on my door. I jump up and run towards the door. Realizing
I don't know who it could be. I swing open the door only to see
a angry Patrick Drake.
"Look," he begins brushing
past me into my room. "This doesn't mean I forgive you for
scaring away my patients. This just means I need my sleep and it
seems I can't sleep without you."
I can tell that he's trying
hard to be mad at me, just as hard as I'm trying to be at him. But I
can see his body begining to come towards mine and I fell the dark
expression fade from my face.
"Truce?" I offer giving a
little smile.
"Truce." He agrees giving into a smile
himself.
I extend my hand towards him, he takes it and pulls me
towards him. I laugh as he bends his neck to capture my mouth.
I feel all my anger drain and I'm thankful. Love was so much more
rewarding then anger.
