Sam's P.O.V.
I wake up Tuesday morning and get dressed quickly. I walk sleepily to the living room. Quorra is passed out on the couch, her broken hand resting on her stomach. For the past week, she has been going to work with me. But she always gets so bored.
"Quorra," I say, walking over to her. "You have to wake up."
Quorra turns her back to me, desperate for more sleep. "Go away, I'm sleeping."
"C'mon," I say. I put a hand on her shoulder, lightly shaking her. "Rise and shine."
Quorra tries to shake off my hand, but it's not good. She sighs. She turns towards me and glares. "Five more minutes, please? I'm so tired."
"Did you sleep okay?" I ask.
"It was hard to fall asleep last night. So, if you don't mind, I would like to sleep in a bit." Quorra closes her eyes again.
I put a hand on Quorra's waist to pull her up. "C'mon, Quorra. After being up for a while, you won't be tired anymore."
Quorra sits on her knees on the couch. She looks at me with desperate eyes. "Can't I just stay home today?" She gets up and walks towards me.
"You don't want to spend the whole day by yourself, do you?" I ask her.
"We always get home at one thirty or two," she says. "It won't be for too long." Her blue eyes sparkle greatly.
I think for a minute. "Quorra, I don't like the idea of you staying home alone. You have only been in the User World for about a week."
"And you have taught me a lot," she says. "Please, please, please?" Quorra puts her hands together and looks up at me.
I sigh. "Alright. I'll be home at one thirty, so you won't be alone for long."
Quorra smiles greatly. "Oh thank you!" She throws her arms around me for a big hug. I put my arms around her waist. She pulls back. "I promise I won't touch anything!"
"Good idea," I say with a laugh. "But what are you suppose to do all day by yourself?"
Quorra thinks for a second. "Well, I have a small headache, so I will probably just sleep all day."
"You have a headache? Do you need me to stay home today?" I begin to worry about her. Quorra has never gotten sick before.
"Go to work," Quorra says. She practically pushes me to the door. "Go do what you do best. I'll be fine by myself. You don't need to worry!"
"Alright. See ya later!"
Quorra's P.O.V.
I slump on the couch and massage my temples. Around me, the walls spin a little. I lie down on the soft couch and close my eyes. Even with my eyes closed everything seems to spin. Am I sick or something?
For what seemed like the whole day, I lied on the couch, just staring at the ceiling. Sam was right. This is pretty boring. But better then being at ENCOM with him.
At about ten A.M., I finally pass out.
I'm in am in a strange place. It's dark and cold. Everything spins faster and faster, until I come face to face with someone. His eyes sparkle, even though it's almost totally black. He smiles at me.
He reminds me of . . .
I sit up fast, too fast. My head aches once again, and a ringing sound is sounded from the kitchen. I rub my head and walk towards the sound. "What is that?" I ask myself. I pick it up and hold it up to my ear.
"Quorra?" I hear someone say.
"Um, yes?" I say. Who and what is this?"
"It's Sam. I won't be home until much later. Do you want me to pick you up?" He asks.
I sigh in relief knowing its Sam. "No, I'm perfectly fine by myself. By the way, what are you using to contact me?"
A laugh is sounded at the other end. "It's called a phone, Quorra. I can call you to talk to you, while being in another place."
"Oh, I see," I say with a giggle.
"Are you sure you don't want me to come home? You don't sound too good."
I roll my eyes. "I'm totally fine. Now go back to work."
"Fine. I should be home around eight or nine," Sam says.
"Okay, see ya," I say, and hang up.
Marvin comes running towards me. I pet him gently, his fur is so soft. "Hey, buddy!" I say. He licks my fingers. "Looks like Sam won't be home for a while. Just you and me."
At about five at night, it rains lightly outside. Flashes of small lights light up the almost darkened sky. I sit on the couch, bored out of my mind. The clock on the wall makes a ticking sound, the rain hits the roof slightly, small thunder booms. But the rain stops as quickly as it begins.
I get up, my head spinning. I slump to the floor. My hands make their way to it, but my broken one hesitates. It goes back down to my side carefully.
Right now, I don't want to remember the embarrassing moment I broke my hand. Oh the pain it brought me. I never knew a tree could really hurt you that much.
I finally get up from the ground and walk outside. Small puddles of water surround the ground. It's a little cold. I find a dry place on the pavement and lie down.
The stars sparkle, and the moon glows. I've never seen such gorgeousness on the Grid. It makes a reflection in the water, making me a little dizzier. The pavement is cold, sending a chill down my spine. I hear cars boom music as they pass by. Laughs are heard, and so are little kids' laughs and screams.
After what seems like forever, I hear a motorcycle make its way over by me. But I stay on the ground, not wanting to get up. I hear the engine die down, footsteps walk towards me. Sam lies down next to me and laughs.
"What are you doing out here?" he asks. "It's so cold."
"My head was hurting, so I decided to get some fresh air," I explain.
Sam turns his head towards me more. "What did you do all day?"
"Sleep," I say with a sigh.
He laughs. "Sounds like a good day to me. You weren't lonely at all?"
"Of course not," I answer. "I had Marvin." I laugh and look at him.
Sam smiles and laughs too. He looks back at the stars along with me. A cool wind rushes towards us, sending more chills down my spine.
"Here," Sam says. He slides his jacket off and hands it to me. "Don't want you to catch a cold."
I put the jacket on and lay back on the ground. The jacket keeps me warmer. "Thanks," I say.
Sam and I sit under the stars, staying silent. It isn't long before my eyelids become heavy. I close them, just wanting to rest them.
Sam's P.O.V.
I turn towards Quorra. Her eyes are closed, clearly sleeping. She moves her hand, so it brushes mine. I take her soft hand in mine, and then get up. I lean back down to pick her up.
I carry Quorra back inside. Her eyes flutter open. "Sam?" she says.
"You fell asleep," I say. "Now, go back to sleep."
Quorra laughs a little and closes her eyes. She quickly falls back asleep. I slip the jacket off of her and set her on the couch.
"Goodnight," I say. "Sleep tight."
Before I walk into my room, I sneak one kiss on her forehead.
