Man was the last chapter intense or what!
Trish
woke up to find herself lying in a hospital bed, "What happened?
Why am I here?" Trish asked the nurse who was preparing Trish's
food.
"I'll let the young man outside explain to you Ms
Stratus" the woman opened the door to leave as Jeff walked in.
"Uh
hey Jeff" Trish tried to fix her hair, she wasn't expecting to be
in here let alone have visitors. She was confused to why Jeff
of all people had come to see her.
"Don't…you look fine"
Jeff smiled while Trish looked at her cuts and bruises.
"What
happened?"
"You had a lot of alcohol and you smashed every
picture you had of Amy and Chris.
"I didn't know what I was
doing" She felt her cheeks turn a dark shade of red, tucking a
piece of hair behind her ear.
"Trish I know…Amy told me…you
don't have to feel embarrassed" Trish smiled. Her eyes filling up
with tears. Just then a nurse walked in. "Ms Stratus you are free
to leave whenever you are ready" Jeff turned to smile at
Trish.
"Come on, I'll take you home"
"Ok let me get
changed first" Trish took her robe off showing the back of her to
Jeff who stared at her naked form. He let out a soft cry as Trish
turned around with a confused look on her face. She grabbed her
jacket.
"Lets go" Trish left the building and headed to the
parking lot.
The ride home was awkward, both never said a word.
Jeff looked at Trish, she was staring out her window the city night
lights shone on her face. She didn't notice Jeff staring at her she
was stuck in a deep trance; she glanced over at Jeff that was now
concentrating on the road in front of him. She broke the silence,
"Why did you come to Toronto?" Trish questioned. "In the
neighborhood" Jeff let out a little smile.
They pulled up at
Trish's house. Jeff got out of the car and rushed over to open
Trish's door, "thank you" Jeff watched her walk up to her house
she looked unsteady.
"Will you come in with me?" Trish fiddled
with her keys.
"Yeah sure" Jeff locked his car and made his
way into the house where Trish was standing crying. Jeff pulled Trish
into his arms as she sobbed on his chest nearly collapsing.
Jeff
picked her up and carried her small petite body upstairs, trying
carefully not to slip on the glass. He placed Trish down on her bed
she was almost asleep. Jeff wished he didn't have to let her go.
Her hands were so soft around his neck; he had waited so long for
this moment.
He placed her down on the bed slowly trying not to
disturber her.
"Jeff please stay with me until I fall asleep, I
need you here" Jeff took off his leather jacket and lay at the edge
of the bed next to her, Trish rolled over placing her head in the
arch of his neck, he wrapped his arm around her and kissed her
head.
As soon as she was sleeping he left in search for a dust pan
and brush to clean up the house.
