After lunch Blink walked Amy back to Dr. Johnson's.

Like you really expected him to just send her on her way? Sorry, it's just so fun to state the obvious.

As they were walking, he suddenly stopped. "Amy, its al me fault ya got hoit. I shouldn't a sent ya back all on your own."

"It's ok Blink, ya couldn't've known. Thanks for takin' care of me."

"Of course. Dat's what I'm here for!"

When they got back, the doctor ordered her to bed, and she fell asleep almost right away.

The next day boys went to Dr. Johnson's house to check and see if she could come go home yet when they heard a scream from her room. Blink ran in.

"Aim's what's wrong!" he asked coming in and sitting next to her.

"Nothing, it was just a nightmare. Don't worry about it."

"Ya want ta tell me what it was about? That might help."

"Ok. Da Delanceys had found me again, and dis time dey were tryin' ta kill me, and den you guys came ta help me, and dey killed you all." She was almost crying remembering it.

"Don't worry, dey'll nevah hoit ya again, I promise!"

"Thanks Blink. So, is he gonna let me go home yet?'

He said tomorrow morning ya get ta come home." She sighed, but realized it was probably for the best and fell asleep after Blink the boys left.

Amy woke up early the next morning after so much sleep, and was very restless by the time the guys got there at 12:00 after selling their papes.

"I thought ya's would nevah come!" Amy exclaimed after a quick kiss from Blink. "I have been awake for hours, and ya have no idea how boring it is here. No offence to ya uncle Snoddy, but he was seeing patients all morning, and I am not good at entertaining me self."

"Ya's know it!" yelled Spot coming over.

"Awe, and I thought me little brodda had forgotten about me."

"Are ya kiddin? He has been here almost everyday. Taking up space in da lodging house, and making a right nuisance of his self!" Declared Skittery but giving Spot a wary look.

"A course I didn't forget ya! I just had ta deal wid some trouble in Brooklyn." He gave his sister a hug, the only sign he ever showed of affection towards anyone. "So ya's feelin' betta?" Amy nodded. "Good. I knew I could count on Blink ta take care a ya. Well, now dat I know ya's ok, I really got ta get back ta Brooklyn. Da boys is getting rowdy with me gone so much." He started to go and turned. "Remember Blink, no funny stuff." Both boys smiled at what had become a traditional salutation between the two. Spot waved and left.

"Why is it that he is always here when I's is sleeping or somethin, but nevah when I's awake?" Amy asked irritated by her brother's short visit.

"He was real worried when ya's got hoit Aim's, and he was just real relived that ya was ok. He nearly moidered the messenger who went to tell him you were ok, thinking that it was bad news. He really cares about ya Aim, but he's got responsibilities in Brooklyn." Blink told her.

"Sorry." she mumbled, quite annoyed.

"Well I was just trying ta help!" Blink retorted. The others started to edge out of the room.

"I know, but it just seems like everyone is always trying to protect me, and that I am still a child!" She yelled losing her accent.

"I don't want ya ta get hoit Amy! I saw ya foist after dey got ta ya! Ya didn't look like ya would eva wake up, and I was real worried! Sorry if I's loved ya and didn't want ta lose ya again!" at this he stormed out of the room and Amy burst into tears.

Mush came in a moment later "Come on Amy, lets get ya home." She nodded and dried her tears.

Blink was at the lodging house when she got there, but made no move to talk to her so she let it be going into her room and shutting the door. "How could I have been so stupid!" she mumbled angrily to herself. "Now he won't even look at ya, not ta mentions talk ta ya! Ya finally find da poifect guy and now ya gotta go and screw it all up!"

She felt tears well up in her eyes, but if he didn't care about her anymore, she would not weep for him. She decided it would be best if she moved to Brooklyn with Spot. She could not stand to be here if Blink hated her. She started to pack up her things.

Blink was sitting up on his bunk when Mush came over. "Ya made her cry ya know." Blink just looked at him. "Ya hoit her bad. Ya should probably talk ta her unless ya want ta loose her."

"What's that supposed ta mean?" Blink asked angrily, but he was really scared. He couldn't bear to lose her.

"It sounds like she's packin. She's probably goin to move ta Brooklyn with Spot er somethin."

Blink started too sweat. "She probably won't go until tammarow! Ya still have a chance." Mush told him and walked off towards Race's poker game.

That night they all went to Tibby's for dinner, but the atmosphere was tense. Amy had told Jack that she was going to Brooklyn tomorrow, and he had said he would take her. She was now sitting with him, Griffin, and David who were all trying to cheer her up to no avail, while Blink was sitting with Mush, Race, and Skittery. He didn't say a word except to order, and he kept on glaring over at Amy.

As they were leaving Mush stopped Blink and asked him "So, ya gonna talk ta her or are ya gonna let her leave?" Blink shoved him off and walked quickly back to the lodging house.

When she got back, Amy went up on the roof. She couldn't stand to see everyone else happy. She heard the door open behind her, but didn't bother to turn around.

"Kinda cold out here." Blink said sitting down next to her.

"I guess." Amy answered curtly. They said in silence for a few minutes.

"I hoid you's is movin ta Brooklyn.'

"Why do you care?"

"Why do I care?" Blink broke his calm almost yelling. "God Aim's, because I love ya! Because if ya leave I will have nothin ta live for! Because ya mean more ta me than anythin else in da woild!"

"Da ya really mean that Blink, or are ya just tryin ta get me ta stay?"

Blink put his arm around her waist and pulled her in and softly kissed her. She completely melted. It was like the first time he had ever kissed her. "I love ya Amy. I know ya might not believe me, but I will do anythin ta get ya to stay." He said kissing her again. Harder this time but filled with passion.

"Maybe I could stay around for a while. I like how you react when you're mad." He pulled her in and they kissed for a few more minutes. Finally he broke it off, and she leaned her head on his shoulder.

"So I guess ya ain't mad at me anymore?" Blink asked.

She kissed him again. "Is that answer enough for you?"

They leaned back looking at the stars. They went inside about an hour later, and everyone else was already asleep. Blink asked Amy quietly "So I guess ya ain't goin ta Brooklyn tammarow?"

"No, I think I'll be sellin with my guy!"

Blink went over to his bed, and saw a kid sleeping in it. "I guess they didn't think I'd be sleepin in here tonight. I've been sleepin in your room, because there's been another new guy besides Griffin, and there weren't enough beds."

Amy smiled taking his arm, "Then I guess you'll just have to sleep in here with me."

No, they didn't do anything, but that night, she was finally able to fall asleep in Blinks arms, to him mumbling about how much he loved her.
