Behind The Veil

The Trip Home

The doctor came in the next morning to check Amiyahs vitals. I was super tired and sore. Sleeping in this chair is definitely not fun. As I watched them do her check up I just looked at my wife. She was laying there glowing. I can't lie I love her so much. This mess is just out of control.

"Alright Mrs. Jones we are gonna let you go home. But we will have a nurse coming by. You are not to have any stress at all. If you feel that you are then you need to go somewhere where you are not stressed." The doctor explained.

"I got her doc. We will be going home to our residence. I will not have visitors that will upset her in any way." Erik said sternly.

"Great. Well you can get dressed and I will be back with your discharge papers for you to sign." The doctor said as they unhooked all the machines off of her.

The doctor walked out to go get the papers for them to sign. Erik sat next to Amiyah in the bed. He looked at her not saying nothing. Amiyah looked at him and was wondering what he was thinking.

"What?" Amiyah said concerned.

"Nothing. I was just looking at you admiring you. And to think you actually is my wife. I can't believe it. Even our wedding was not what we planned it out to be. I love you Miyah. I really do." Erik said not taking his eyes off her.

"I love you too. And I don't want to loose you babe." Amiyah said as she grabbed his hand once again.

"Let's just get you dressed so we can get you home ok." Erik said standing and walking over to get her clothes.

Erik walked back over and handed her clothes to her. He helped her up and walked her to the restroom.

"Are you gonna be ok in here alone?" Erik asked her.

"Yes I'm fine." Amiyah said.

"I'll be right outside the door. I'll start packing your things." Erik said to her.

"Ok baby." Amiyah said.

Erik closed the door and walked over to the area where Amiyah stuff was. He put all her stuff in her bag and placed it on the bed. He had a little stuff there as well. He packed that up and put it on the bed too. Amiyah walked out after she was dressed. She sat on the bed and put her shoes on.

"You ok? Your breathing sounds off a little." Erik asked concerned.

"I'm fine. Just tired. Haven't really been out the bed since all of this." Amiyah said to him trying to catch her breath.

"Do I need to get the doctor?" Erik asked.

"No baby. I'm fine. I'm just ready to go home and lay in my own bed." Amiyah said giving a half smile.

The doctor walked back in and gave her the papers to sign. As he gave her instructions on what to do and what not to do Amiyah shook her head on agreement. Erik made for sure he was listening so that he knew how to deal with her.

"Alright. You guys are set to go. Make sure you do your follow up visit in about 2 weeks. And take those meds." The doctor said as they finished their conversation.

Grabbing their bags and walking towards the door Erik led the way. He turned and looked back at Amiyah.

"Get in front of me so I can see you." Erik demands.

"Ok babe." Amiyah said walking ahead of him.

Amiyah stopped in her tracks and looked back at Erik.

"Do you want me to take any of those bags? My hands are not crippled." Amiyah said grabbing for some of them.

"No. Did I ask for help?" Erik said back.

"No. But I was trying to help. Most of it is mine." Amiyah said back to him.

"No Miyah. I don't want nor need your help. Just go. I'm ready to get away from this damn hospital already." Erik said as he continued to walk.

Amiyah opened the door for Erik to walk out. They walked to the truck. Amiyah has keys to all the vehicles too. Amiyah hit the trunk button so it would open for them. Erik put the bags in and closed the trunk.

Walking to the passenger side Erik opened the door for Amiyah to get in. She got in and out on her seatbelt. Erik closed the door and went to the driver side. He got in and closed the door. He fastened his seatbelt and crunk up the truck. Backing off he didn't say nothing. As they headed home at first it was nothing said between them. Amiyah was about to go crazy so she broke the silence.

"Babe can we talk about the situation now? I mean I'm feeling ok. And I feel this needs to be discussed ." Amiyah said looking at him as he continues to drive.

Erik looked at her and then put his eyes back on the road.

"Did you hear me?" Amiyah said getting frustrated.

"Yes I heard you. And what did I tell you at the hospital? Huh? We don't need to talk about that right now. Let's just get home and see about you. I'll take you home get you settled and I'll go out and get your medication and something to eat." Erik said as he continued to drive.

Amiyah sat back in the seat with an attitude. She didn't understand why he was being so dogmatic with her. She just wanted to know where she stood. She knew she was wrong for keeping it from him in the first place. But she also did that so that she wouldn't loose him either. Erik cell started ringing again. He looked at the dashboard and saw that it was Darius. He wasn't sure if he should answer that now or later. The phone continues to ring and Erik didn't answer.

"You're not gonna answer that?" Amiyah asked annoyed.

"I'll call him back later. It's probably not important anyway." Erik said still looking ahead.

Amiyah didn't like what she was feeling nor seeing right now. It's like he was being secretive with her. They pulled up at the house. Erik parked and walked and opened Amiyahs door. He walked to the door to the house and unlocked it and let her in. He turned off the alarm and walked to the truck to get their things out. As he got them and walked back inside he took them to their bedroom and sat them down. Amiyah walked in behind him and sat on the bed.

Erik put their things away without saying a word. After he was done he stopped in front of Amiyah and looked down at her on the bed.

"I'm about to go get your medications filled and grab some Chinese food. I'll be back shortly." Erik said to her.

"You're not gonna wait and talk to me for a second?" Amiyah asked Erik once again.

Taking a deep breath and holding the bridge of his nose Erik just exploded.

"Look Amiyah stop asking me that okay. I'm tired, frustrated, aggravated and don't want to talk about that right now damn. Just let me do my job as your husband. I'll be back shortly." Erik said and walked away from her and closed the door.

That really hurt Amiyah feelings. All she could do was sit there and wipe tears from her eyes. She laid across the bed and just cried.
