Ok I know I'm bad but I changed the ending in the last chapter so if you've already read it you may want to give it another quick glance - it doesn't really fit with this chapter as this one is Myles but it will link to the next one
Myles sat in his car sobbing as once again his emotions gripped him like a vice, Lucy really hated him at the moment and he couldn't blame her, he hated himself for what happened, she had the right to the accident was his fault, but even though she was pushing him away he still loved her, he still wanted to be with her, feel close to her yet right now there was something keeping him away, keeping him from going back into the hospital and sitting with her, his own stubborn pride. Instead he thought of something productive to do instead, something that would not only make him feel better but also allow him to get close to her with having her push him away.
Seeing Sue and Jack about to enter the hospital he called out, he knew what he could do
"Jack" causing him to turn and Sue to follow his gaze
"Myles, are you alright?" Sue asked concerned when she saw his red eyes and tear stained face
"Not really, she threw me out; she is refusing to see me"
"Oh I'm sorry Myles, she doesn't mean it, it's just she's hurting right now" Sue comforted
"I know, I want to do something to make her realise I'm not going anywhere, so have either of you got a key for her place. I thought I'd go and get her some personal items, make her feel more relaxed and then hopefully she'll agree to see me"
"I think that's a great idea Myles", Sue added softly, "Here I still have my key" she continued handing him the silver key
"Thank you Sue" he replied smiling back and heading towards his car
"Honey" Jack said touching her arm when he left, "Go with him, I think he needs a gentle heart right now and you have the gentlest heart I know."
"Ok, I'll go, I'll see you later" she replied kissing him softly on the cheek before calling after Myles and meeting him at his car
"Sue what are you doing here?"
"I thought you'd like the company" she replied as she got in
Myles didn't respond but his small smile made Sue realise he was happy she was there. A short ten minute drive later Myles and Sue were walking the door to Lucy's apartment.
"So any ideas on what to take to her?" Sue asked
"I don't know a few clothes and toiletries" Myles answered figuring that if he was in this position that was what he would want
"Ok, so how about you go and get her some items from the bathroom and I'll get some clothes" Sue added with a smile.
Myles nodded and made his way into the bathroom where he managed to locate her toothbrush, hairbrush, shampoo, conditioner, deodorant, razor and her bathrobe which when he picked it up could still sense the subtle fragrance of her perfume and he couldn't help but inhale deeply and once again his tears fell freely and he was thankful Sue couldn't hear him cry as he sat on the edge of the bath of course what he hadn't counted on was Sue walking into the bathroom
"Oh Myles" she said walking up to embracing him into a hug "It's ok, she'll come around she just hurt that's all and looking for someone to blame"
For once in his life Myles let go of his pride and sobbed in Sue's arms finally allowing all the grief and guilt over the last few days to be released.
"You ok" she asked when he finally stopped crying
"Yes, I just don't know what I'm going to do"
"Do you love her Myles?"
"As much as Jack loves you"
"Then take it from me don't waste time trying to figure out what is wrong or what to do about it just concentrate on fixing it"
"How can I do that when she want even talk to me, want even let me visit her"
"There are other ways of communicating with someone Myles, letters for example, maybe that is what you should and I'm sure one of us will find a way of giving it to her" she added with a wink
"You're right Sue"
A few moments later he straightened himself up, the facade returning and he exited the bathroom Lucy's dressing gown still in his hand, Sue following closely behind him.
"You ready to go?" Myles asked when Sue came back into the room
"Nearly let me go and get the bag from the bedroom" Sue replied, there was obviously more he needed to say but she knew pushing him right now was not good, she just hoped he would eventually open up to someone soon
"I'll go, Jack will never forgive me if I let you carry it and something happened to you or the baby" Myles replied before exiting the living room and walking into Lucy's bedroom, though it was more because he needed a few minutes to himself
As he walked through her door, the scent of her perfume hit him like a punch. Sue had obviously done a good job gathering clothes for her as the bag on the bed looked full. Walking towards the bed he placed the dressing gown on chair and leant over to pick up the bag when something on the bedside table caught his eye. His curiosity getting the better of him he walked over to see what it was and smiled at what he saw. It was a necklace he had given her when they were together hanging on a heart shaped picture frame, sure many people wouldn't think much of it but to him it gave him hope, gave him something to cling to, something to fight for, them. Taking the chain in his hand he held it tight and placed it in the top pocket of his shirt, swiping at those tears that once again threatened to fall.
Not wanting Sue to see him crying for the second time in a matter of minutes he took a few moments to compose himself once again, seeing her pillow he picked it up and held it close to his chest as he sat on her bed within moments his body had given in to the fatigue and he was lying on the bed it wasn't long before the sleep that had evaded his body for the past four days took him over and he fell into a dream filled sleep.
Sue wondering what was taking Myles so long went into the bedroom where she saw him asleep, his head on one of Lucy's pillows, his body holding the other, taking Lucy's dressing gown off the chair where he left it she gently placed it over him and let him sleep, being this close to Lucy was just what she thought he needed right now and considering the small smile developing on his face she figured she was right.
