Man was the last
chapter intense or what!
Trish woke up to find herself
lying in a hospital bed, "What happened? Why am I here?" Trish
asked the nurse who was preparing Trish's food.
"I'll let
the young man outside explain to you Ms Stratus" the woman opened
the door to leave as Jeff walked in.
"Uh hey Jeff" Trish tried
to fix her hair, she wasn't expecting to be in here let alone have
visitors. She was confused to why Jeff of all people had come
to see her.
"Don't…you look fine" Jeff smiled while Trish
looked at her cuts and bruises.
"What happened?"
"You
had a lot of alcohol and you smashed every picture you had of Amy and
Chris.
"I didn't know what I was doing" She felt her cheeks
turn a dark shade of red, tucking a piece of hair behind her ear.
"Trish I know…Amy told me…you don't have to feel
embarrassed" Trish smiled. Her eyes filling up with tears. Just
then a nurse walked in. "Ms Stratus you are free to leave whenever
you are ready" Jeff turned to smile at Trish.
"Come on, I'll
take you home"
"Ok let me get changed first" Trish took her
robe off showing the back of her to Jeff who stared at her naked
form. He let out a soft cry as Trish turned around with a confused
look on her face. She grabbed her jacket.
"Lets go" Trish left
the building and headed to the parking lot.
The ride home was
awkward, both never said a word. Jeff looked at Trish, she was
staring out her window the city night lights shone on her face. She
didn't notice Jeff staring at her she was stuck in a deep trance;
she glanced over at Jeff that was now concentrating on the road in
front of him. She broke the silence, "Why did you come to Toronto?"
Trish questioned. "In the neighborhood" Jeff let out a little
smile.
They pulled up at Trish's house. Jeff got out of the car
and rushed over to open Trish's door, "thank you" Jeff watched
her walk up to her house she looked unsteady.
"Will you come
in with me?" Trish fiddled with her keys.
"Yeah sure" Jeff
locked his car and made his way into the house where Trish was
standing crying. Jeff pulled Trish into his arms as she sobbed on his
chest nearly collapsing.
Jeff picked her up and carried her
small petite body upstairs, trying carefully not to slip on the
glass. He placed Trish down on her bed she was almost asleep. Jeff
wished he didn't have to let her go. Her hands were so soft around
his neck; he had waited so long for this moment.
He placed her
down on the bed slowly trying not to disturber her.
"Jeff
please stay with me until I fall asleep, I need you here" Jeff took
off his leather jacket and lay at the edge of the bed next to her,
Trish rolled over placing her head in the arch of his neck, he
wrapped his arm around her and kissed her head.
As soon as she was
sleeping he left in search for a dust pan and brush to clean up the
house.
