♤The Ace of Spades♤

Getting Better.

I was once again discharged from the hospital. I was getting wheeled out of the hospital in a wheelchair by Doug and Tommy was walking beside me. "Where will I stay?" I asked Tommy. He took my hand and held it in his. "Where ever you wanna go I'm happy." I knew that Doug was probably pretty upset with me since I yelled at him. Soon we reached Tommy's 'Stang and I stood up holding his hand. It still hurt and the doctor said it would for awhile. I sat in the passenger seat and Tommy closed the door. I wanted to stay with Doug, but another part of me wanted to stay with Tommy. I remember how he used to spoon me when we watched movies. I missed his embrace. Tommy got into the car and we took off. "I want to stay with you, Tommy." I said to him. He glanced at me. "Baby, you sure? But what about-" "I can't look at him right now and I know that he doesn't want to look at me either. I want to stay with you and tomorrow I want to see daddy." His mouth was open as he just watched the road. "O-Ok..." He stuttered.

We went to his apartment and I laid on the couch with my stuffed pony that he got me. He was making me lunch which smelled really really good. Then he walked in and sat on the brown coffee table. "Hey, how you feeling?" Tommy asked softly. It was the sweetest tone I ever heard. I nodded. "I'm just really sore..."

I reached out and held Gemma's hand to comfort her. I kissed her lips softly and was just tryingnot to remember what I did to that motherfucker back at the Flamers' hideout. She tensed when I kissed her and it made my heart hurt. "It's just me..." I whispered cupping her cheek. Her eyes were green now obviously because she was upset. I laid on the couch beside her, moving her stuffed animal that I had gotten her. I put her hand on my heart. "I just want to tell you that you mean a whole lot to me. That you make me smile every single day and that I just can't wait to talk to you. I wait everyday just to see you and it maked me feel so much better when I do. Less stressed and more...more..." I stopped. Gemma was leaning close to me and our lips were nearly touching. "Baby...please don't let Ben hurt me again...please." Tears fell from her eyes and it tore me up inside. I held her. "I'll kill if anyone fucks with you. You got that?" She nodded. "I love you, Tom Hanson." I kissed her again. "I love you, too Gemma Spade."
