Amy was staring at Jeff from the side of the torn blue couch, her eyes
baggy and her hair knotted.
Jeff sighed "Go home" he said hoping she would.
"No" she hissed.
"Babe, you haven't slept ever since I woke up.. Just please go home and rest" he begged.
"No" she said, changing her postion on the couch.
"At least go to sleep, hun" Jeff said, his eyes pleading for an answer. "No" she said, rubbing her hands through her hair, that was un-brushed.
"Why not, Ames?" He sighed, closing his eyes.
"I'm too worried to sleep" "Amy, I'm fine" Jeff snapped.
"Jeff I'm still a little shook up, okay?" She said in an sarcastic tone of voice.
"Okay..." Jeff sighed again, knowing that she wasn't going to cooperate. Jeff closed his eyes and tried to slip into sleep, but was startled by Amy's voice.
"Jeff?" she asked.
"Hmm?" he groaned.
"Are you mad at me?"
Jeff opened up his eyes, to look at Amy's face, her eyes were hung heavy and her lips curled down.
"No, Ames, I would never be mad at you" he whispered.
She sighed. "I feel horrible Jeff, I wanted to help you, I tried, but some big guy was holding me down... and I got so scared, and I thought you were going to be beaten to death or something... and then the pole..."
Jeff cut her off "Babes, its alright I know you did"
She shook her head understandingly. "Okay" she said, biting her bottom lip.
"Now try to get some sleep, okay?" Jeff whispered.
"Okay" Amy whispered back, and turned off the small lamp beside her on the table.
"Love you" Jeff said
"Love you too" Amy replied, curling up into a ball and gave into her tiredness.
:::::::::::::::::: One Week Later ::::::::::::::::::::
"Its getting better" Amy smiled, running one of her fingers over the five stitches above his right eye.
"Really?" Jeff asked sarcastically. "The pain is still the same, you could have fooled me"
Amy kissed his forehead. "They come out next weekend baby, hang in there" she whispered.
Jeff rolled over on his bed, exposing his bare back. Two large black and purple bruises covered the middle. Amy sighed.
"Your Back feeling better?" She asked hopefully.
"Yeah, I can actually squirm around now."He laughed, trying to lighten the situation.
She bent down and lightly kissed his shoulder and laid back down on the bed.
"Man," Amy started, turning off the light. "I forgot about these" She said smiling up at the glow in the dark stars, all over her ceiling.
Jeff turned around to look up, "Yeah" he smiled.
" I Wanna go back north to Cameron... Our old place" he said sighing.
"Me too" she said looking over at his face. She brought herself closer to him, and rested her head on his un-bruised shoulder. She closed her eyes.
"When do you go back to work?" she asked.
"6 days" he sighed, eyeing the glowing shapes.
" I have to go back tomorrow afternoon, and I don' want to leave you here by yourself"
"Ames..." He started, knowing he was going to have to convince her again.
"I'm a big boy okay? You don't need to baby sit me or hold my hand to cross the street" He laughed.
"I know but I just... I don't know" She replied.
"Work would be good for you" he started "You know, get your mind off things?"
"Yeah, maybe you're right"
"I know"
They stopped talking out of the blue, both were exhausted.
"Night" Amy whispered.
"Night.."
Jeff sighed "Go home" he said hoping she would.
"No" she hissed.
"Babe, you haven't slept ever since I woke up.. Just please go home and rest" he begged.
