In all of this time that passed, he realized there with those words that were signed, that no matter what he did she was broken. " I sat outside the door when I left for about an hour, crying because with that picture that you sent me we were done, and now i know that I should not have left you needed me and I wasn't there" he signed.
She held his hand " but I did not want you to be there, the pain was raw, I needed to be alone" she signed.
" I will go bring Eli to my moms because we have to study, I know what I said a year ago, I want to try again, but you have to be very patient with me"
" Bay you have my heart it went to Italy and you haven't given it back yet, I told you before I will wait as long as it takes".
She left and he just thought for a while, she was ready to try again but what did that mean. He would just wait for her to make the moves now, he did not want to scare her, patient's he hoped that he could show her what patient's meant.
He walked to the table and got his books out, four finals on Monday and Tuesday, and Bay had to take one on Thursday and then the same as him.
He studied until she got back , she had breakfast for them, they sat at the table and ate. When they were done he got up went to the bathroom, she had not talked, he hoped that she wasn't going to take back what she had said earlier.
About two hours later he went sit on the sofa, " if I look at another page I will lose it, do you want to come to the park with me and relax for about an hour"
"Absolutely, I think I am done with math will probably dream about it tonight".
He got up and looked at the stairs " I will go get your clothes " she signed. " I have to do it eventually, I will just go slow"
He made it up but she was behind him the whole time.
She walked down the stairs and went to the kitchen, she packed them a lunch and got a blanket and waited down stairs. "Bay" he calls out, she ran up the stairs, " I think it's infected "
She is on the phone trying to get him an appointment, it looked very bad. She got him in at three, she looked panicked. " Bay its going to be fine, they will probably put me on more antibiotics lets go to the park ".
She was shaking, now it was his turn to worry, " hey I am going to be all right".
He put his arm around her and walked down stairs, when they got into the living room he saw what she had done " let's go baby" he signed.
She sat on the couch, " I think you should stay inside, I just don't think I could handle you being in the hospital again ".
Man he wanted to kiss her, " it is Wednesday I have been in this apartment and the hospital for about eleven days, please get me out of here"
She started laughing, " you came to the park yesterday, thank you for making me laugh, lets go "
They had the best time in the park, it was two hours they were there," we have to leave, its in thirty minuets ".When they got in to see him it was infected, it was swollen and they had to drain it. She held his hand the whole time, they gave him stronger antibiotics and told him to come back in a week.
"We can go get Eli, and go home if you want to" she asked. "I need to go home I have to take a pain pill that hurt so much".
"Wow how could you have kept a strait face, if it hurt" she signed. " You really think i could have showed it, i know how worried you were"
She went home first and got his pain pill, she made sure he was in bed then left. They were going to have taco's from the taco place in east riverside for dinner, she called placed her order and told them she would be about forty five minutes.
