Love's POV
"Dally?" I asked taking in the slender form that was hovering over me as I adjusted to the light coming in through the window.
"Yea, how ya feeling Lovey?" He asked making me frown.
What was he doing standing over my bed like a stranger? Normally when I was sick he'd lay with me,
and tell me stories or rub my stomach. He always knew how to make me feel better.
" Why are you up there?" I whined frowning when he began to shift his weight from side to side.
" Dallas?" I asked slowly pushing myself to a sitting position as I began to emerge from sleep.
My fever had finally lowered last night to 100, but I was still feeling kind of out of it.
"You been real weird lately, did I do something wrong?"
"No… I just owe you an apology, I mean I know you don't remember, but
I screwed up real bad, I was jealous of you and Tim."
"Why?" I asked shocked at his admission.
"Cause I felt like he was taking you away from me, and with Johnny cakes gone, you're all I have left," He whispered coming to sit beside me on the bed.
" I confused one kind of love with another," He said smiling as he attempted to tame the bird's nest my locks had become.
"You'll always be my little sister Love, I just don't want you to ever forget about me, and leave me behind," He said trembling as I pulled him in to a hug.
"Dallas Lawrence Winston I couldn't love you more if you were my own brother," I whispered hoarsely clearing my throat.
Sure I'd had a crush on Dally when I was like ten, but every girl around these parts had crushed on him at some point. I mean the guy was smoking hot.
" I know, I just found out about you and Tim and freaked out, you just fit in with his crew so fast and so
quick, and then after the fight with Darry you were never around and I started picturing you
never coming back."
"Dally you know you're welcome wherever I am," I said smiling as I basked in the warmth of his arms.
He was just as much family as the other boys were.
" How long have I been out of it?" I asked content now that he was seated beside me in the bed with his arm around my shoulders.
" About a week, your fever was pretty high, and you were in and out of it for awhile."
Nodding my head thoughtfully I leaned my head against his shoulder content to listen to his voice as he
continued to fill me in on whatI'd missed.
" A lot of Tim's outfit has been around too, checking up on you." Smiling I couldn't stop the blush that crept over my face.
I liked that they were still there for me despite the fact that Tim and me were on the outs. I'd grown pretty attached to them the past fewmonths.
" I think, you're pretty much stuck with them for life now." He said making me chuckle when he tweaked my nose.
"OK, not that I don't love spending time with you, but I need a shower," I said grateful for his help as I made my way out of the room on my own for the first time in a week other than to go to the bathroom.
"Well you still have a fever so anything besides hanging out on the
couch is pretty much out of the picture," he said sternly as I rolled
my eyes.
Just when I thought I was happy to have him back around he had to go
and open his mouth and say something stupid like that. Shaking my
head I tossed the nightshirt in to the hamper, and turned the water
up as hot as I could stand it before stepping in.
Tim's POV
Rubbing my eyes I blinked, fighting back the burning sensation that
told me just how tired I was. Just another half hour and I'd be back
in Tulsa. I'd never imagined I'd miss the East Side so much.
Collapsing in the bed after stumbling in to the apartment I let
myself fall in to a much-needed sleep.
Groaning I rubbed my eyes as I sat up.
"What the hell Ang?" I asked trying to figure out what the hell she
was rambling on about, and why it was important enough to wake me at
eight in the morning.
"You need to go square things away with Love, she's been sick for the
past few weeks."
"What?" I asked suddenly awake as I focused on the last sentence she
had just said.
"Love, she's been running a fever for a week now, they thought we
were going to have to take her to the hospital for a while there."
"What happened?"
" She found out you were out of town, and then bam she was sick, ya
know how she is when it comes to being worried about shit."
Stretching as I stood I yawned once more before heading to the shower.
" I'll head over to the Curtis place as soon as I'm done." I said
smirking as I shut the door in her face . Sometimes she was too damn
bossy for her own good, but this time she was right.
Love's POV
Looking up as the door swung open I froze. Forgetting everything I
had been angry about when I locked eyes with Tim for the first time
in almost two weeks.
On my feet before I could even think about what I was doing I found
myself in Tim's arms once more with my legs wrapped around his waist.
"Never again," I murmured burying my nose in his neck as I breathed
in the scent that was just … Tim.
The one thing this ordeal had shown me was that He was worth it.
Worth the pain and aggravation that came with a relationship. Just
being her right now, in this moment made the last week a distant
memory
Tim's POV
Savoring the feel of Love in my arms once more I closed my eyes as I
accepted the truth. She might as well keep that ring for good, cause
I'd be damned if I ever let her go. She was mine, and I wanted her
for life.
No more wondering if she was still mine after a fight or playing the
let's see who cracks first game that all couples did when they were
just starting out. We were more than that. The truth was it hurt more
being away from her than it did having her mad at me. Leaning back to
meet her eyes I winced at the dark circles and blood shot eyes. She'd
been just as miserable as me. There we no words for a time as out
eyes locked in silent conversation, saying everything that needed to
be said.
