Weekend Away

You're Past Doesn't Define You

.. what?
"what."
"Jensen!"
Jensen was lying on the counter of the kitchen in Frank's house with about 20 paper towels wrapped around her torso stopping the bleeding.
"Cody what happened."
"it doesn't matter, you're alive, but we have to go to the hospital now!"
She could see the tears on his face. how long had she been like this? Cody tired to help her to sit up but she winced in pain at the movement
"Cody I can't"
Jensen breathed out quickly as she settled on her back again.
"No you've- you've gotten get up, we have to get out of here Jen come on."
His voice cracked. She couldn't bear seeing him like this, and he was right if they stayed much longer someone would be coming through that door.
" Cody listen to me, you're going to have to stitch me up."
she said trying to sound calm.
"What!? No! You're going to a hospital!"
He was becoming frantic, pacing around the kitchen pulling at his hair.
"Cody! Listen! We can't go to the hospital! It's too risky to get an ambulance here plus Frank might come back up"
She said with a sharp intake of breath, she could feel herself losing more blood by the second but she couldn't let him know. Cody stopped in his tracks and turned to look at her.
"Frank's dead."
"what."
Jensen said a little shocked.
"I'm sorry I thought you were gonna die and I didn't have another choice."
he turned away bracing himself against the wall.
"hey hey, Cody it's okay he would've killed both of us. but you really need to stitch me up ok."
he turned around giving you an apologetic look.
"ok ok ok just tell me what to do."
"Ok grab the little red sewing kit off the table over there."
Jensen pointed to the coffee table across the room. He sprinted over grabbing the small box.
"now what there are only 3 tiny needles and some yellow thread in here."
" take the biggest needle and thread it."
He thread the needle which was still very tiny
this is gonna hurt like a bitch.
Jensen moved the towels that were around her so he could see. The wound was fairly large for the small piece of wood that cut into her ;almost 5 inches long. Cody started to move in but hesitated
"this is going to hurt you a lot."
"I know; just get it over with please."
With that he plunged the needle into her starting to stitch up the wound. Jensen screamed out in pain until she fell unconscious again. She woke up to movement as Cody was carrying her out side quickly .
"what's going on!"
Jensen said scared.
"more of Frank's guys just went in the basement and they're gonna find him in about 5 seconds."
"Shit. get to my motorcycle it's across the street."
By now it was well past 3 am and they were rushing out of the well known crack house both completely cover in blood. Jensen tried to get in front and drive but Cody's protests landed her sitting behind him as they sped back to her motel.

Upon arrival Cody was met with Katherine in her hello kitty pjs and bunny slippers.
"What the hell do you w- Oh My God! What the fuck!! Is she dead!?!"
"Katherine it's ok I'm fine let us in."
"ok yea get in."
She held the door open as Cody placed Jensen on the bed still looking at 'Katherine'.
"why is she here."
Cody said obviously angered by her presence
" I'm right here."
she snapped.
"she helped me find you. If not for her we'd be dead."
"oh um thanks."
"yea whatever Frank's an ass it was my pleasure to screw him over."
she said with a smirk.
Jensen and Cody exchanged a look 'should we tell her he's dead?'
"um Katherine about that he is actually.... dead."
Katherine paused giving no expression. then out of nowhere,
"sweet."
she smiled to herself nodding her head then walk back into the bathroom.
Cody and Jensen exchanged another look mostly of discomfort.

After they both got cleaned up and Katherine had gone to
sleep Cody say on the edge of the bed and put his head in his hands. Jensen looked over and moved toward him when he spoke
"I know you have questions so why don't we get it over with."
he said looking up at her.
Jensen paused and responded.
"how did you know Frank?"
"when I was younger my family didn't have money, dad was always gone and mom couldn't get a job if her life depended on it. I was only 16 I had no idea what I was doing and I got into some bad stuff and Frank helped me get the money, I actually thought we were friends but.. all he wanted was the money soon he was taking more and more of my cut until one day some random person stole the new shipment, Frank blamed me so I defended myself and said someone stole it. that night I walked out and never went back, thinking he'd leave me alone; but then 2 cars showed up at my house, guys with guns. Mom was out of town so I stayed inside like an idiot they found me and tried to drag me back with them but I got away. For the next 3 days I was living out of that car with Puss, until you found me."
he smiled at the end causing Jensen to smile and hug him tightly.
"your past doesn't define who you are."
She said nuzzling her nose into his neck kissing him softly.
"I love you."
"I love you more."
"don't even start this game with me."
he said laughing.
"ok ok but I have one more question."
"go ahead."
"do you have medical training because these stitches are very well done especially with only yellow thread and a sewing needle."
Jensen said lifting her shirt to show the bright yellow stitches.
"I swear I've never touched a sewing needle in my life."
he said with his hands up.
"just gifted I see."
She replied laughing.
"I'm glad we're okay after all this."
Cody said seriously.
"I knew we'd be okay, remember no matter what I'm with you, got it."
" I got it."
he gave her a sweet kiss. they got into bed and sleep soundly in each others arms for the first time in months.
