Chapter Five
Amy woke up and she checked the time. It was 7:50 in the morning. If she didn't hurry she would be late for work. Amy quickly took a shower, got dressed, ate breakfast, and ran down the stairs, and she barely made it to work on time. At work she had a good time. Everything went smoothly,and she didn't have any problems with the monkeys from her nicotine addiction study. On her way home from work Amy sent a quick text to Penny.
Hi Penny, are you working or do you want to do something before we go to Leonard and Sheldon's apartment. :)
A few minutes later Amy got a reply.
My shift just ended I'll invite Bernadette over to my place and we can talk a little before we have to go over and eat with the boys how does that sound? :)
Amy smiled this is just what she needed to take her mind off of Sheldon. Honestly, she didn't want to go over and eat at Sheldon's apartment because she always felt like it was awkward around him. What made it worse is that she found out that he started drinking after they broke up. Amy had heard that Sheldon didn't handle the break up well,but she never expected him to drink.
It was a good thing he went to rehab. Amy thought as she got ready to go to Penny's apartment.
Sheldon was in his room doing work, but he suddenly felt tired of working, and decided to go in the living room and watch Star Trek. He wasn't really paying attention though. He was thinking about Amy. She was going to come over again. Sheldon wasn't sure if he should be happy that Amy was coming over or terrified.
"Sheldon?" Leonard said surprised that Sheldon was out of his room. Sheldon would never get out of his room Not even to watch Star Trek he would usually just work in his room.
"Yes Leonard." Sheldon replied.
"What are you doing?" Leonard
Said curious to see why Sheldon was out of his room.
"Watching TV." Sheldon said.
"oh well I'm glad your finally out of you room. I'm going to get the food do you want to come?" Leonard asked.
"No" Sheldon responded. As Leonard was about to leave Sheldon stopped him.
"Leonard wait." Sheldon said.
"Yeah Sheldon?" Leonard said he hadn't talk to Sheldon for this long in a while.
"You think…I mean I know it's been a while, but maybe… you think I can go paint balling with you guys next week?" Sheldon asked shyly.
Leonard smiled Sheldon was started to get better even if it was just a little bit.
"yeah sure you can buddy." Leonard said.
Sheldon's finally getting better Leonard thought.
Knock Knock Knock
Amy knocked on Penny's door.
"Hey Ames how are you?" Penny asked.
"Hi Penny, I'm fine." Amy said.
"Hi Amy." Bernadette said.
"Hi Bernadette," Amy said She was happy to see her she was sitting on Penny's couch drinking wine.
"Come on sit down. Do you want wine?" Penny asked.
"Yes please." Amy said as she sat down.
"So Bernadette how's Howard?" Amy asked.
"Howie's fine he finally stopped bragging about his trip to space. I love him, but it was kind of getting annoying." Bernadette said.
"Oh that's good, so Penny have you gotten any acting jobs?" Amy said.
"Yeah, actually I got a part in a play it was pretty good they loved it" Penny Said then sat down next to Amy.
"Really many people where there?" Amy asked.
"A pretty big number like 5 or maybe 10 which was a big improvement over last time"
"Really how many people where there last time?" Amy asked.
"Like one" Penny said.
"oh too bad" Amy said
"No I think he really liked it" Penny said
"Well that's good" Amy said happy that at leases Penny's life was OK.
"So Amy how have you been since…" Penny stopped talking she always tried to avoid the topic of her break up with room was suddenly very quiet, and it felt awkward.
Knock knock Knock
Thank god Penny thought as she got up to answer it.
"Hey Penny," Leonard said Giving her a quick kiss in the lips "I just came back from picking up the food Howard and Raj are already there." Leonard said grinning
"Why are you so happy?" Penny asked
"Oh it's just Sheldon he's talking to Howard and Raj." Leonard said
"Really like an actual conversation?" Penny asked Shocked.
"Yeah! And just earlier he asked if he could go paint balling with us!" Leonard said like an excited little kid.
"I think he's getting better come on go see for your self." Leonard said practically dragging Penny to his apartment.
"OK, but shouldn't we wait for Amy and Bernadette?" Penny asked
"Oh I didn't even notice, Hi Amy hi Bernadette." Leonard said.
"Hi Leonard" They both said in unison as they got up.
"come on let's go" Penny said standing up eager to see Sheldon talking again. Everyone followed her into the apartment
"Hey guys" Leonard said but he wasn't noticed because Sheldon and Howard were arguing.
"Sheldon you are so wrong. Wolverine was not born with bone claws." Howard said.
"Howard, you know me to be a very smart man. Don't you think if I were wrong, I'd know it?" Sheldon said sounding like his old self making Penny, Leonard, Amy, and Bernadette smile.
"OK first of all…"
"Give it up, dude, you're arguing with a crazy person." Raj said Interrupting Howard
"I'm not crazy. My mother had me-" Sheldon stopped talking when he saw Amy in the door way He suddenly didn't feel like talking or eating. He just sat there.
"Hey Sheldon" Leonard said hoping to get Sheldon to talk again. Sheldon just nodded. His heart hurt.
Oh no He barley started to open up again and I had to come and ruin it. Amy thought.
"Sheldon aren't you going to say hi" Penny asked trying to make him talk. He was doing so well I wonder what made him- Of course AMY he must feel sad around her Penny thought
Sheldon waved. This made Amy feel worse than she already did, if that was even possible.
"Dude Sheldon please say something. You were doing so well." Raj pleaded. He didn't want to go back to moody Sheldon, even annoying Sheldon was better than moody Sheldon.
Sheldon still said nothing, and his eye started twitching. His head was really hurting, and he felt like he was going to pass out. Also his heart was beating really fast he was afraid he was going to have a heart attack.
"Sheldon are you OK?" Leonard asked considered for his friend.
"I'm sorry Leonard, but I'm not feeling, so well I think I'll take my pills and just go to bed." Sheldon said.
"No, Sheldon stay and eat with us you were just starting to talk" Leonard said
"No I…I just can't." Sheldon said and he started to get up and leave.
"but your still going paint balling next week right?" Leonard pleaded
"sorry" Sheldon said as he started to get up.
"No!" Amy yelled everyone looked at her, and Sheldon slowly sat back down.
"Sheldon sorry if I ruined your evening. I'll leave just please don't ignore your friends there trying to help you." Amy said leaving the apartment
She still cares about me? Maybe this means she doesn't hate me. Sheldon thought.
"Amy wait!" Sheldon said, Amy froze in her tracks that's the first time Sheldon directly talked to her Since they broke up.
"Yeah Sheldon." Amy said.
"Don't leave You can stay." Sheldon said.
"will you stay?" Amy said
Sheldon hesitated, but after a moment of silence he reluctantly agreed.
"Yes" Sheldon said patting the seat next to him inviting Amy to sit down.
"Thank you Sheldon." Amy said sitting down next to Sheldon.
"okay I'm glad your staying Sheldon are you also going paint balling with us next week?" Leonard asked trying to take advantage of his friends good mood
"of course" Sheldon said Leonard smiled
"Leonard would you hand me my pills and a bottled water" Sheldon asked.
"Sure" Leonard said handing him water and his pills
"thanks Leonard," Sheldon said "oh and… umm Leonard"
"Yeah Sheldon?"
"can we go to the comic book store tomorrow?" Sheldon asked
"I thought you were working tomorrow afternoon?" Leonard said
"Yeah I decide to take a break from work,"Sheldon said "it's starting to get exhausting."
"That's great" Leonard said.
"So, Howard as I was saying wolverine WAS born with retractable bone claws." Sheldon said.
"Really prove it." Howard said.
"Fine wait here." Sheldon said and marched into his room.
A few minutes later he came out with a smug look on his face holding up a comic book.
"Wolverine: Origin. Miniseries issue two, page 22. Retractable bone claws." Sheldon said.
"let me see that." Howard said not ready to admit defeat.
"Well I'll be dammed" Howard said reading the page.
while Howard and Sheldon were arguing Amy received a text
Hey Amy, it's Stuart from the comic book store :) I was wondering if you wanted to go get coffee or go see a movie sometime
Amy didn't know what to do. I mean she wasn't seeing Sheldon anymore, but she still felt bad about. It wasn't cheating because they weren't going out anymore,so why did she feel bad. Maybe she was afraid that Sheldon would start working more and more until they never saw him again. I mean Sheldon was just starting to get better if he found out that she was dating Stuart he would go crazy.
I should ask Penny. I'll just try and enjoy the evening Amy thought
"so Sheldon how long do you have to keep on taking those pills" Amy asked
" A couple more days. at least that's what the doctor said" Sheldon replied
"That's good, so how your work coming along." Amy asked trying to keep a conversation with Sheldon.
"great actually I think i'm very close to a break through with my work in M- theory that may win me my Nobel prize in physics." Sheldon said
"That great Sheldon!" Amy said genuinely happy for Sheldon
The rest of the night went smoothly. Everyone had a good time even Sheldon, but then it started to get late and everyone left. Amy stopped Penny in the hallway and showed her the text
"What should I do?" Amy asked
"I think you should go" Penny said. She loved Sheldon as a friend, but he didn't want to move the relationship forward with Amy, and a little jealousy didn't do anyone any harm.
"but what about Sheldon?" Amy said.
"Well, you guys aren't dating anymore and you have a right to go see other people. Just don't tell Sheldon because he just started getting better."
"I don't know." Amy said.
"Just think about it Stuarts a nice guy and you can't keep waiting for Sheldon forever."
Stuart was OK, but she wasn't waiting for Sheldon to come back. was she? I mean she hasn't gone on ant dates since they broke up, but its not because she was waiting for Sheldon to come back or anything. Maybe she was waiting for Sheldon to come back, but she couldn't wait forever
"OK I think about it." Amy said and headed home. Penny had a point she couldn't wait for Sheldon and if she didn't like Stuart she could just stop going out with him. What did she have to lose. Maybe Stuart would turn out to be nice, and they could be happy together. Amy shook her head what was she thinking she loved Sheldon, but he just wanted a relationship of the mind. So Amy sent Stuart a message back before going to bed.
Sure how about a movie :)
