It had been two weeks since the incident with the man and his daughter. Leah was feeling much better with no pain in her wings where the stiches were. It was a relief to see them healing because she really did not want to explain her injuries to anyone else. It made her feel weak like she couldn't protect herself and if she hated being one thing it was vulnerable. In her opinion it was better that nobody ever knew the truth of what happened other than Edward. It was bad enough he had to see her like that she did not need for anyone else to see that side of her because in this day and age people would take advantage if they could.

Since the group had arrived in a new town in Ohio that morning there was not going to be a show until the next day. It suited the winged woman just fine knowing she could do whatever she wanted. She ended up pulling on some denim shorts, a yellow tank top that tied around her neck and again at the very bottom, and pinned her hair up in to a messy bun before heading out in search of her mind reading friend. She was hoping he would want to spend the day together maybe take a walk around or something. When she did not spot him outside right away she frowned and headed over to where she saw Alice sitting with Jasper having a nice breakfast.

"Hey shorty have you seen Edward?" She asked using her hand to fan her face. It was absolutely boiling outside today. Maybe when she found him she would see if he wanted to take a swim. When they had arrive she remembered passing a lake not too far from their camping place. "I figured I would see if he wanted to hang out today, but I don't see him around. Did he already leave or something? If he did do you know where he went."

Jasper answered the question which had been directed to Alice. "I have been up for hours since before the sun rose and he has not come out of his camper. I found it odd considering he is usually up around the same time as me."

The small woman nodded in agreement. "I haven't seen him since last night and he was muttering about shutting out all the noises and a headache."

Leah realized right away what was going on. "He must have one of his migraines. I'll go check on him and if anyone asks where he is tell them that we went for a walk or something. I don't need people coming over and making his headache that much worse."

The pair nodded before she turned away and started sprinting in the direction of his camper home. This time he was parked about three away from hers instead of right next to it like before. When she got there she knocked lightly on the door not wanting to cause him anymore pain, but he did not answer. Leah thought she heard a groan coming from inside and yet she couldn't be sure. Trying the door handle she was relieved to see that it wasn't locked and carefully made her way inside. The entire place was dark with the curtains drawn closed.

"Edward?" Her voice echoed slightly as she ventured deeper in to his home. In the very back she saw a bed and on the bed was a lump in the shape of her mind reading friend. He was breathing very harshly with his arms bent at the elbow and curled up and around his head. Even in the dark she could see him sweating and shaking with what she could only guess was pain. "It's me Leah I came to see if you were alright. Alice mentioned something about a headache. Is there anything that I can do to help?"

Edward opened one eye slowly as he looked at her through his arms. When he spoke his voice was full of pain and it broke at almost every word. Leah could tell he was having a hard time. "Thank you for checking on me. I will be alright though so go and enjoy your day. This will pass eventually."

The Native American woman scoffed as she walked over to his bed and sat down on the edge very carefully. She noticed a bowl full of cold water on the nightstand and wash cloth so she wet the cloth before pressing the cold wet material to his head. "Do you really think I am so cruel I would leave you like this? You look as if you are about to die and I can't let my best friend die so I will be staying with you until you feel better. You took care of me in my time of need now let me take care of you."

"There is nothing you can do." He murmured groaning when the pain intensified whenever he spoke. "Everything is so loud. All I can do is wait it out. You shouldn't have to waste your day catering to my needs. Go and have fun Leah I won't be upset."

"I would be upset with myself." She replied wetting the cloth again and wiping down his face. "Stop arguing with me and let me take care of you alright? Besides even if you want me to leave I am going to stick around and there is no use in arguing with me about it because you are not going to change my mind. Now you be a good little patient I am going to make you some chicken noodle soup, run you a cold shower since that may help, and then you are going to try and sleep while I read. Is that understood?"

Edward smiled slightly though not for very long considering the amount of pain he was currently dealing with. "I guess I have no other choice do I? Thank you for all of this Leah you really did not have to take care of me."

Leah smiled back as she stood up to start the shower for him. "It's not like I had anything better to do."
