What Where You Thinking ?

Amber's Pov

"Look! I'm wearing blue!" Will declared proudly.

I just laughed and demanded him to go to bed knowing he wouldn't remember any of this in the morning. After a few more minutes Will fell asleep and I went outside to check on his car. I walked around it to make sure there were no dents. I can't believe he was stupid enough to drive home drunk. I couldn't help but think of all the trouble he could have caused or how hurt he could have gotten. I shook my head and opened the door to his car. "The keys are still in the ignition. Figures"

"Sorry Will but it has to be done for your own good." I grabbed his keys and put them in my pocket. I wasn't going to chance him waking up in the night and decide he had to go somewhere. I don't know if it was the caring girlfriend part of me or if it was the lawyer that has seen a lot of accidents with drunk drivers but I was not going to take a chance.

I stood out and looked at sky with the cool crisp air blowing around me. It was dark enough you could see the stars that's what I loved about not being in the city you could see the starts at night. The bright lights don't cancel them out. I stood outside for what felt like forever until I got to cold.

When I went inside Will was still asleep. Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if he was passed out drunk. I grabbed my book and sat on my bed and read until I think it was two am and my eyes got heavy so I fell asleep.

Somehow I still managed to wake up before Will. Around 11:00 am Will woke up which was late for him. It didn't take him but a few minutes to run into the bathroom to start his hung over morning.

I filled up a glass of water and got some aspirin and waited outside the door.

"Here."

"Thank you." He took the pills and water out of my hand.

"By the way your not wearing blue," I laughed and smiled while walking back to my bed. Knowing that Will was completely confused.

"So how are you feeling this morning?" I asked while making the bed.

"Well besides the piercing headache, I'm good," he replied rubbing his head.

"Oh ok good." I said with a little annoyance. I looked over to my table where my book was sitting and I picked it up.

"Then What the Hell where you thinking driving home drunk?!?! " I hit him in the arm a couple times with my book.

"Oww, what are you talking about?" Will whined.

"What am I talking about? What am I talking about." I shook my head. "You where drunk last night Will so drunk you couldn't even walk in straight line. You just barely made it through that door, and you drove home. What where you thinking? You could have been hurt or worse hurt someone else." I sighed.

"Oh," he rubbed his head and looked at the ground afraid to meet my gaze, "I'm sorry Amber, there was just a lot on my mind at that time. I know I shouldn't have done that, I guess it just runs in the family." He looked lost in thought, as if old scars had been opened.

I sighed I shouldn't have yelled at him, but I was just scared he could have got hurt or worse. I hugged him tight.

"Just don't do it again ok?" I stood there just holding him close to me. My head was against his chest and I could hear his heart beating. "I love you Will. I'm just scared I'm going to loose you that's all."

I pulled back and gave him a small smile. "I'm going to go out for a little bit ok?"

"Be careful ok?" He replied with a little worry in his voice.

"Aren't I always." I laughed and grabbed my jacket walking out to the impala.

I took the keys out of my pocket and drove towards the book store I saw on our way into town the other day.
