1 Day before the month long night

**AMELIA'S POV**

I woke up the next morning; all bundled up under the blankets.  The sun was shining in through the window.  I looked over at the clock, seeing that it was eight o clock in the morning. 

I climbed out of bed, walked to the bathroom, washed my face, and brushed my teeth.  I got dressed; along with putting on my snow boots, and my heavy jacket.  Then; I headed downstairs. 

I walked into the kitchen; and there stood Eben, making coffee.  Eben's short dark hair looked so sexy.  Eben was wearing a black long sleeve shirt, and gray sweatpants. 

Yeah; I was developing feelings for Eben.  Eben is so sexy. 

Here I am daydreaming about Eben. 

"Morning" Eben said. 

I snapped out of my daydream, and I came back to reality. 

"Morning" I said. 

"Did you sleep okay?" Eben said. 

"Yeah I did.  Those blankets are so warm. I didn't get cold at all" I said. 

"Well that's good. I tend to keep the house warm. Do you want some coffee?" Eben asked me. 

"Sure; I need the caffeine anyways" I said. 

Eben poured a cup of coffee for me, and he handed the cup to me.  I took a sip of the coffee. 

"Thanks" I said. 

"When did you want to get started?" Eben asked. 

"We can get started whenever you're ready. It's no rush on a time today" Eben said. 

"Alright sounds good.  I just have to shower and get dressed; then I'll be ready" Eben said. 

"Okay; yeah take your time. I'm in no hurry" I said. 

"Alright; help yourself to more coffee.  I'll be back down in a bit" Eben said. 

"Okay thanks" I said. 

Eben went upstairs to get ready.  I finished drinking my first cup of coffee, then refilled it with another cup. 

Once I finished my second cup of coffee; I went back upstairs real quick.  I grabbed my camera and my notebook.

"OW! FUCK!" Eben yelled. 

That was Eben.  Was he okay?

I walked up to Eben's bedroom door.  I knocked on the door. 

"Eben! You okay?" I asked. 

"Amelia! Can you come in here?!" Eben replied. 

Without hesitation; I opened the door and walked into Eben's room. I needed to make sure that Eben was alright. 

"Eben!" I called. 

"In the bathroom!" Eben called back. 

"Can I come in? Are you decent?" I asked. 

"Yeah; please come in" Eben said. 

I opened the bathroom door.  Eben sat on the edge of the bathtub, as he held a bloody cloth over his hand. I ran up to Eben. 

"Eben; what happened?" I asked. 

"I was changing out the blade on my razor.  The blade slipped and cut my hand" Eben said. 

I pulled away the bloody cloth from Eben's hand. The cut wasn't that deep; but it still needed to be sewn shut. 

"Where's your first aid kit?" I asked. 

"Under the sink" Eben said. 

I looked under the sink; grabbing gauze, bandages; along with a clean needle and thread. I also grabbed a bottle of alcohol.  I went back up to Eben. 

"Wouldn't peroxide be better?" Eben said. 

"No; it doesn't clean well, and it kills your good bacteria. Alcohol is better" I said. 

Eben and I walked up to the sink. I poured the alcohol on Eben's cut, then dabbed up the remaining blood with some cloth. 

"How deep is it?" Eben asked me. 

"It's not deep; but I still need to close the wound, so it doesn't get infected" I said. 

"Alright; I trust you" Eben said. 

I grabbed the clean needle and thread; sewing up the cut on Eben's hand.  I wrapped a bandage around Eben's hand.  It was all taken care of.  I washed my hands; cleaning up. 

"Damn; how did you learn to do that?" Eben asked me. 

"My dad is a doctor.  He taught me a lot.  One time, when I was a kid, I was riding my bike when I fell into my mom's flowerbed and a thorn sliced my leg open" I said. 

"Oh damn, what happened?" Eben asked. 

"My dad cleaned up my leg and he closed up the wood, with needle and thread, until he got me to the hospital" I said. 

"Your father must be a good doctor. How bad was the cut?" Eben asked. 

"It was deep. My dad always said: "Keep your wound closed at all times, even if it is with needle and thread." It was his moto" I said. 

"That's a good moto" Eben said. 

"I follow it when I need to" I said. 

"Thank you for this. You did a good job" Eben said. 

"Hey; no need to thank me. It's no problem" I said. 

"Am I gonna need stitches?" Eben asked. 

"No; it's not deep. But I'll remove the thread tomorrow. Your wound will be closed up" I said. 

"Alright; well let me get dressed and I'll meet you downstairs" Eben said. 

"Alright; are you okay?" I asked.

"Yeah; I'm much better now. Thank you again" Eben said. 

"You're welcome. It's not problem" I said. 

I grabbed my camera and my notebook, then I went back downstairs to wait for Eben.  A few minutes later; Eben came downstairs; wearing his sheriff's uniform. 

"You ready?" Eben asked me. 

"Yeah, I'm all set" I said. 

"Alright; we have to stop by the station first, so I can check in before we get started" Eben said. 

"Okay; take your time" I said. 

Eben and I climbed into his squad car; and we left the house, heading towards the station.  The clock now said nine o clock in the morning. 


**EBEN'S POV**

I was changing out the blade on my razor; when the blade slipped and it cut my hand open.  Amelia saved me; by fixing up my hand. Who knows what would have happened, if Amelia hadn't been there. 

Yes it was official.  I have feelings for Amelia. I was falling for Amelia.  As I said; I had just met Amelia, but I had feelings for Amelia. I just hoped that Amelia felt the same way about me. 

I had this whole month to find out. 






NOTE: Well.... Amelia just saved Eben, when he cut his hand.  Something is definitely happening between them
