"That was beautiful Jeff"

"It was all for you sweetheart. All for you" He said as he kissed my head.

Jay came back in with ice and Adam got off the phone with the police. Adam got a wash cloth and watered it down. He cleaned all my scraps and cuts.

"OW!!! Adam stop that it hurts!" I said slapping his arm away

"I know sweetie, but they have to be cleaned"

"No they don't"

"Here Jeff. You try. Its hard for her to yell and hit you." Adam laughed

"HA HA HA Very funny Adam"

"Aw babygurl. You know I am just playing."

I stuck my toungue out at him and laid my head on Jeffs chest.Jeff took the washcloth and he slowly cleaned my cuts. I winced and cried out in pain and every time I did Jeff kissed my forehead and I snuggled into him more.After cleaning the cuts, Adam took out his first aid kit and brought out antibacterial ointment. He put it on all the cuts. When all the cuts were clean and disinfected, Jeff laid me on the bed and they put ice on my bruised cheek. There was a knock on the door. Adam went to get it. It was Matt. He looked like he was out of breath and that he had been running around.

"Hey man. What's up?"

"I think something happened to Jay. He hasn't come back to the room" Matt said.

"That's cuz I kidnapped him" I said

Everyone laughed as Matt walked in. He saw Jay and hit him on the head.

"Next time tell me where you are going to go"

"Ya'll sound like you are married" I said..

Everyone laughed. Jay walked over by me with a revengful looking grin on his face.

"Oh is that so?" Jay asked.

"I wuv you Jay Jay"

"I love you too." He said as he kissed my forehead.

Jay and Matt went back to their room. I closed my eyes and let sleep over come me. Adam crawled in bed with me and Jeff crawled in his bed. They quickly fell asleep. I woke up in the night to hear some one moving around. I looked over at Adam and he was asleep. I looked over at Jeff and he was tossing and turning like he was having a bad dream. I slowly and quietly got up and walked to his bed. I sat down and stroked his hair and then his cheek. He opened his eyes and tears and the emotion of fear was in them.

"Sweetie, it's ok. It was just a nightmare. I'm here now" I said soothenly. "Do you want me to stay with you?"

He nodded and I smiled. I cuddled in under the covers and wrapped my arms around him. He cuddled into me and fell fast asleep. I watched him and studied his features. His hair in his face, his eye lashes fanning his cheeks, his cute nose, his soft lips, and his cute little creative beard. God I love this man. He's sweet, sensitive, caring, lovable, and just everything I want in a man. I closed my eyes and fell asleep. In the morning, Adam was the first to wake up. He noticed that I was not beside him. He was scared something happened to me until he saw me lying there holding Jeff. He got up, smiled, and went to take a shower. Meanwhile, while Adam took a shower, Jeff woke up. He looked down at me and thanked God that I was there with him. He stroked my hair and kissed my cheek. I woke up and looked into his green eyes.

"Hey" I said

"Hey sweetie."

"Are you ok?"

"Yea, thanks to you. Thank you for being there for me."

"I will always be here for you. Always"

"And I with you."

We smiled and kissed.

"What was your nightmare about?"

"That you were in the hospital and you died. It seemed so real. I would die if that happened to you."

"Aww..sweetheart. Don't worry. I will be fine."

"I know you will, but.."

"But what sweetie?"

"I still worry about you"

"You don't have to"

"I will always worry about you"

Jeff leaned in and kissed me deeply. I moaned in his mouth. We pulled apart and cuddled up closer. Adam was done and came out.

"I guess it's my turn for a shower." I said.

"No" Jeff whined and held me tighter.

I tickled his chest and he let go of me.

"There, thats better" I said.

I leaned down and kissed him. I then got up and grabbed some clothes. I headed to the bathroom and took a shower. While I was in the shower, Adam went to go get us breakfast and Jeff went to write into his journal.

April 10, 2003.

Gabby is just so amazing. I am glad I told her how I feel. She is so
special to me. I never,ever wanna lose her because if I do, I don't know what I would do.

Last night I had a nightmare and I guess I was tossing and turning alot
because she heard me. She came and comforted me. I feel like a wimp to be so scared over a dream. Its scary to see the one you love dead and that is one thing I never wanna
see.
I saw my mom die (God bless her soul) and I never wanna go through that
again.
I know I can't stop death, but I can sure try.

Jeff put his journal away as I got out of the bathroom. I was wearing a short,black dress.

"Wow! You look like....Wow!"

I laughed and kissed him.

"Thank you. So Mr.Hardy, are you going to get in the shower and help me with my math homework. You promised."

"Yes. I am going to take a shower and then help you with your homework."

With one more kiss, he went to go take a shower. I turned on TV and saw Scooby Doo was on. I started to sing the opening theme as Adam walked in.

"Scooby Dooby Doo, where are you, we got some work to do now..."

"Young lady. Turn off that TV and work on all your homework"

"No, I am watching Scooby Doo." I whined.

"Gabby Marie Copeland."

I looked at him. He never said my whole name unless he was serious. I turned off the TV and grabbed all my homework. The whole time I was muttering things like," He thinks he's my dad ordering me around." and "I'd like to shove this book where the sun don't shine"

"Gabby!" He said crossing his arms.

"What?" I said

"Come here!"

I walked over to him. I was kind of scared of what he might do.

"What's with the attitude young lady?"

"What's with yours?"

"Gabby you are getting out of line."

"Whatever."

"I'm not going to deal with this right now. I am going for a walk, when I get back. I want the Gabby I know and love back."

Adam grabbed his coat and walked out. I ran my hand through my hair as Jeff came out of the bathroom.

"What was all the yelling about?"
