Jeff drove quickly down the road, he tried calling Shane and Chris, but
they both thought that he was overreacting... He needed someone to talk to.
Who?.. no one really wanted to discuss this sort of thing now. I mean Amy
was going through a mis-carriage and he just exploded at her. It was wrong,
he didn't know what came over him, he had gotten really protective of Amy
ever since the Miscarriage and it wasn't helping the both of them at all.
"DAMN" he wanted someone to talk to. Then he remembered someone... someone who wouldn't judge him... someone who would listen. He raced the car down the street to where they lived. He slowly pulled into the driveway. He raced to the door but was hesitant about ringing the doorbell. He forced himself to do it. The door opened " Hi Bethany..." Jeff whispered.
" can we talk?" ************************************************** " I don't think Amy would do that kind of thing with Brian" Bethany said while sipping at her coffee. " She really likes you Jeff... she's a really lucky girl to have you" There was a silence. " Beth, you're a great woman too... you know you don't have alot of self esteem. You just cling to things expecting them to love you...like you did with me."
She paused... " I know, I'm so sorry Jeff. I just... It felt right at the time... You wouldn't understand." Jeff nodded his head " Oh i know Beth, i understand... i've done it. Everyone has." Bethany agreed with him. " Well " she said checking her watch... " Maybe you and Ames aren't as right for each other as you thought...." Jeff nodded. " Maybe... I don't want to hurt her anymore..." " Well think wisely Jeff. Look i've got to get going i am meeting some girls at the mall"
" Okay, thanks for talking... and helping me with everything." She smiled and hugged him. " Anytime" ************************************************* "Well don't worry about him much, hun!" Stacy said reassuringly. "Everything's fine, it was just a misunderstanding!" Amy shurged "I don't know Stacy I need to tell you something".. she sobbed
Jeff drove home quickly and opened the door to see Amy sitting on the couch. Stacy was in the other room changing Devin. Amy smiled to see Jeff come home, but didn't say anything. There was a long silence "Ames.. I think we should break up, and get a divorce." Amy's smile faded, and she breathed out an unexpected sigh. "What?... Jeff no you cant do this to me". She stood up. "You cant Jeff!" Jeff rolled his eyes
"Look, were even fighting now".. "JEFF YOU CANT PLEASE JUST STAY JEFF!!" she yelled. She tried to grab his hand. "Please You have to do it for me?" Jeff pulled away, he got upset. "WHY AMES? WHY!? So we can always act like this? Is that why? Is it because you always want to get your way? IS THAT WHY?" He way yelling in her face now, getting her upset. "No, that's not why she whined You just cant-"
Jeff Cut her off. "THEN WHAT IS IT!?" he yelled. There was a silence. She sobbed "I wanted us to be a family, I wanted us to be happy. You would be happy Jeff!!" Another silence "What the hell is that supposed to mean?" "That I want you to stay and be the Dad, and I don't want to be all alone."
" what?" Jeff asked. Amy picked up a glass and threw it to the floor "ITS BECAUSE IM PREGNANT!! I have been for 4 weeks now Jeff!! I wanted to wait and just make sure it worked out this time!!! I WANTED YOU TO BE THE FUCKING DAD AND TO BE A FAMILY WITH US, BUT WE DONT NEED YOU ANYMORE. I Hate you Jeffery, I HATE YOU!" she said running into her room and locking the door. Stacy stepped out from the spare room with Devin and knocked on Amy's door. "Ames, baby? Let me in Okay?? Ames?"... "Go Away!" she sobbed. Stacy sighed and then looked over at Jeff near the door. "You bastard" she whispered. Jeff woke up. It was a dream all a dream he was lying on the couch in the dark. He didn't break up with Amy, he was safe. She wasn't pregnant! He sighed with relief but slowly got up from the couch, and snuck into the master bedroom.
Amy laid silently. Jeff gently laid down on the other side of the bed, pretty far from Amy. Suddenly Amy jumped and woke up. Jeff had startled her. She was still lying down and blinked at Jeff. "I'm sorry for everything" he whispered. Amy made a tiny smile. There was a moment of silence. Jeff outstretched his arm and pulled Amy into him. She hugged him. "I over reacted" Jeff started "I should have gotten the facts first Ames, I'm sorry" She shook her head "Its alright" Another slience... "I love you" She whispered before falling asleep. "So everything's alright?" Stacy asked happily. "Yep!" Amy smiled. "Its fine for now" Amy shuffled some papers, She was working overtime and had just gotten off the phone with Jeff. "Stace, if you weren't working here with me, Id go nuts!" Amy laughed. "Same here!"
Stacy said back. "At least I am going home in only half an hour, not that bad!" she sighed. Stacy nodded her head and they made small talk until the end of there shift. Amy drove home at about 9:15, not that late. She stumbled slowly up the stairs to the apartment and opened the door quietly just in case Jeff was sleeping. She got in and shut the door, and Jeff came out of the bedroom with a rose in his mouth. Amy laughed.
"Oh very sexy!" she squealed. "Thank You!" he mumbled with it in his mouth. He slid across the floor on his knees towards her. He took out the rose "Dance with me Baby!" he laughed. "Here?!" Amy asked. "There's no music" Jeff grabbed a small remote and clicked it towards the ceiling, the lights grew dimmer and romantic music started playing in the background, as Jeff got up off his knees. "Oh my god, you're too much Jeffery!" Amy laughed.
"Yeah I know" Jeff said shrugging, and pulling her in to dance. "Well I don't usually dance Ames, but I'm gonna try it now." She laughed "Your doing good" "How bout a dip?" he asked playfully. "What?" Amy giggled. Jeff quickly dipped her towards the ground, She let out a small shriek on the way up. "Oh now that's sexy" Jeff laughed. "I wasn't ready" she said playfully punching him in the arm. Jeff smiled, "You know I'm not going to let my own girl beat me up don't you?"
He said picking her up off the ground and tossing her onto the couch. Amy squealed "Jeff stop! That tickles!" Just then the lights flickered on. "Hope I'm not interrupting anything" Shane smiled. Amy rolled her eyes and pushed Jeff off of her. "Noooo.. Nothing at all" she said sarcastically. "Man, what do you want!?" Jeff asked. Shane turned serious "Jeff I think we need to talk for a second....alone" Shane and Jeff leave for another room while Amy made herself comfortable on the couch. "Look..." Shane started "I saw your car at Bethany's.." today and he trailed off. There was a silence. "Shane it's not what you think". Shane nodded his head "Ok Jeff I Trust you". Another pause.
"Shane I was over there to get advice. We just talked". Shane still looked sceptical. "Okay, Jeff. Fine." Jeff raised his voice "Shane LOOK! Its not what you think!! You don't have to come in here and -"
"Dammit Jeff OK!, what the hell is gotten into you lately?!" "ME?!?!? What's gotten into you! Thinking you know everything!!" "Jeff! Look I just wanted to know and-..." "You didn't need to know anything!, I think you should leave now Shane" There was a pause. Shane looked hurt. Yeah, I do too and he headed for the door.
