The next day.
Gabby drove the car as they were on the way home, Matt asleep in the chair beside her and she stopped the car then, driving off the road to go to the gas stop and there was a small restaurant where they could have lunch. They walked to the restaurant together, when he suddenly grabbed her hand and she smiled at him. He finally seemed to feel better after yesterday and they sat down by a table.
''What would you like to drink?'' a waitress asked then and Matt looked really confused, not sure what to say.
''An apple juice for him and a coffee for me.'' She smiled then. ''And for me a BLT, for him a pasta pesto.''
The waitress nodded.
''T-thank y-you. I didn't kno-know what to ch-choose.'' He said and she smiled.
''of course.'' She said then, caressing his hand.
She was glad he was smiling again when she suddenly saw that a large truck suddenly started to roll backwards, against another car and she jumped up. Suddenly she saw that there were people in car and she got up, Matt following her shortly as some others walked after them as well.
The truck driver got out of the truck his hands in his hair because he was shocked what had just happened.
''A-are you ok-kay?'' Matt asked as he walked towards the driver while Gabby walked towards the car.
''No, get back, you can't help me. I can't let you lift because of your back.'' She said then and instead she lifted the girl out, Matt standing close to her. Some of the other men helped with getting the other people out and she sat down by all of them, making sure they were okay and giving as much care fto the people as they could as the owner of the restaurant started to call for ambulances and police.
Matt walked to the girl and kneeled down.
''Are y-you in an-ny pa-pain?'' He asked and she shook her head.
''Only my arm.'' She said then and he looked at Gabby.
''She will be okay, she didn't get hit by the blow really bad.'' Gabby said then.
''I think I broke my arm.'' The girl said sad and he took her other hand.
''You w-will b-be okay and y-your fami-ily too.'' He said then and she nodded.
''it hurts really bad.'' She said then, trying not to cry.
''J-just pinch m-my hand.'' He said then and she did so. Finally she calmed down a little bit.
''Matt, go to the man, I think there is something wrong with his neck. I need you hold his head so it stays still.''
''I n-need to help y-your d-dad.'' He said then. ''Sta-stay s-strong.''
She nodded and she let go of his hand then and he walked to the man, took over from Gabby and holding his hand.
''You n-need to s-stay sti-still.'' Matt said then, making sure he kept holding the man's head, scared to move it. As Gabby was tending the woman, worried that he didn't know what do to but he sat down by the man, trying to calm him down and holding his head and she was proud of him.
The ambulances arrived then and took the family, Matt staying with the girl now.
''You w-will be ok-kay.'' Matt said then as they took her into the ambulance and she smiled at him before the door closed.
Slowly the ambulances drove away and Gabby stood beside him, laid her head against his shoulder.
''Great wo-work.'' He said then to her.
''You did so great as well.'' She smiled then and they walked back inside, knew there was nothing more they could do now until the police came to ask them and they sat back inside. Matt managed to eat a few more bites of his food before he fall asleep on the seat in the restaurant and she didn't mind, he had been doing so well. He had to be tired now after this and she just sat there, eating her lunch calmly, waiting for the police while he was asleep.
The police walked in and questioned Gabby about what had happened.
''My fiancé helped as well. But he is asleep…and I don't want to wake him up. He won't be able to tell you much.''
''We need to talk to him.''
''He had a big accident a few months ago and he has been in a coma for most of the time. I told you everything I know, but please don't bother him about it. He hardly talks…'' She said then and the police man nodded and walked away then. She had another coffee, waiting for Matt to wake up and when he did so, they took another cup to go and left then.
Matt was still smiling as they walked to the car.
''not tired anymore?''
''N-not s-so mu-much.'' He said then as they left the parking lot, on their way to drive home again.
''how are you feeling now?'' She asked then.
''G-good actual-ly.'' He smiled then and they listened to some music on the way back home as he still struggled with talking and they arrived home then. He was in the kitchen, trying to warm up some soup with Gabby helping him with telling him what to do while she was washing their clothes and they sat down for dinner then, both not really hungry after all that had happened today. After that sat down on the couch together and she laid down on top of him. She caressed through his hair and they looked at each other and kissed with a smile then.
''Today finally brought us closer.'' She said and he nodded.
''It ma-made me f-feel like I am n-not worthl-less.'' He whispered then and she caressed the side of his face. He still seemed so pale and tired but she was so proud of him.
''You never were, you know that.'' She said then and laid her arms around him and he laid his head against her shoulder. They sat together like that for a while and then they got up again and walked to bed and he fell asleep in her arms, exhausted from the long day and she kissed him on his head, holding him in her arms, loving him so much and knew that they would be all right.
NOTE: Matt and Gabby were on the way back home when they stopped on the way to get lunch. They hadn't talked much yet but Matt was at least smiling again. In the restaurant Gabby had to order for him because he got so confused but then they saw an accident happen outside and rushed outside and Gabby helped with taking care of the wounded but even Matt managed to help out and that made Gabby so proud and they were so happy when they got back at home and again finally Gabby has trust again in her future together with Matt.
Upcoming: Gabby has a day at work while Matt is alone some parts of the day, trying to manage at home but will he be able to?
