I am trying to work back into writing more on a daily basis. So I will leave it all up to y'all, any reader I might have left.
Short updates like this one, or wait until I have a something about twice this size then post.
Thanks for all of you who do read.
As a reminder I do not own South of Nowhere. But sure as hell wish I did :-)
Spencer spent the rest of the week in the hospital much to her disappointment and my approval. We still did not know where Tom was and at least I knew she was safe at the hospital. Aiden and I spent most of our shifts looking for him and when the shift was over, I would just go straight to the hospital to be with her.
We talked a lot during this time. We decided that when she was released that she would move in with me. She had said that she decided that she was not going to let fear rule her life, but after this attach she is more scared then ever. I cannot say that I blame her. Aiden and I have spent most of our shift searching for Tom and trying to find him. For his sake he better pray to god that I do not catch him anywhere near Spencer.
At the end of the week, I get to take Spencer home with me. She is still has some bruises, but can move on her own for the most part and is just sore at times. I cannot believe he did that to her again I am not sure I can ever forgive myself for letting that happen to her again.
On Spencer's first night at her new home with me, I made her dinner and we just had a nice and relaxing candle lit dinner and just talked. It was nice. After dinner, Spencer tried to do that dishes but I wouldn't let her. I made her go into the TV room and watch Jeopardy. Once I was done with the dish I quietly walking into the TV and listened to her shout out the answers to the questions. It was so very cute.
I finally go and sit down next to her on the couch and she ends up with you head in my lap. I am just staring at the TV running my fingers through her hair. I love the feel of her hair and I know she is enjoying it because when I started I heard her release a contented sigh. I don't know how long we were on the couch like that but at some point, we both fell asleep. I carefully move from beneath Spencer and carry her up the stairs to the bedroom and we both go to bed.
We were not in bed for more then ten minutes I think before Spencer's nightmare. I quickly pull Spencer into my arms until she is calm again. "Spencer do you want to talk about the dream you just had? I know it might be hard but I promise that in the long run it will help." I gently wipe a tear from her cheek my thumb. "Yeah Ash I think you are right let me just change in my PJ's really quick and then if your not too tired I really would like to talk.
I know it seems that is all that you and I have done for the past week but we have been avoiding what we both know we need to talk about and I thank you for that. I really think that now is not the time though. Let's get a good nights sleep and tackle this when we are both fresh in the morning." Spencer says before getting up to find some PJ's to wear. I decided that I will change too sleeping in jeans are not the most comfortable sleepwear.
