Mark's Pov
"How much stuff do you have?" Amy asked laughing walking into the room.
"A lot. But just a few more boxes." I said taking the heavy box from her, I set it down in the corner.
"Hopefully you stay longer than a year here, but with your record of moving that is not going to happen."
"Maybe I will say here for two years?"
"That's a start." She left the room going to get more boxes. I followed her.
After all of the boxes where out of the truck we closed it up and headed into the house, neither of us felt like unpacking stuff to cook with so we order pizza. It was getting pretty late but Amy didn't want to leave.
"I can sleep on the floor."
"Amy, I am not having you sleep on the floor, I know I packed my air mattress." I looked through the boxes until I found it. "Got it!"
"Fine, but you are sleeping on it with me."
"You say that like it's a bad thing."
She didn't say anything, she just stuck her tongue out at me.
"We can set this up in the dining room. it has the least amount of boxes for us to trip over." I walked into the dining room.
As I was finding an outlet I heard a noise outside, Amy didn't seem to hear it. After a few seconds, I heard it again.
"Amy, go upstairs and hide," I said going after my bag.
"What?"
She saw me reach for my special bag.
"GO," I said again, She ran up the steps.
I walked to the front door waiting to hear them again. I peeked out of the window but no was one there. I heard footsteps upstairs.
Shit.
I ran up the steps.
"Open this door!" One of the guys said I was able to hear Amy cry.
"If you know what is good for you, you will step away from that door," I said drawing my gun walking closer to them.
"Awe, is your girlfriend in here? I wonder what will happen if we do this?" He went to shoot into the room but I shot him first.
"Next?" I asked walking closer.
The other two ran to the open window and left.
"Amy it's me, open the door please," I said kicking the guy away from the door. I took his gun too.
The door flew open, she wrapped her arms around me.
"Your safe, those guys will not be back. They are too scared too." I played with her hair.
"What about him?" She asked through the tears.
I picked her up and carried her downstairs, I got my phone and called 911. When they got there was has still alive so they took him to the hospital. We told them what the others looked like, I gave them his gun, then they left. I cleaned up the glass from the broken window as Amy stood next to me, I don't want her getting cut.
"I can help."
"You are helping, I know where you are and that you are not going to get hurt."
"Not what I mean."
"I know."
I got all the glass up, I put the bag on the ground then walked over to her wrapping my arms around her.
"Are you okay?" I asked.
"Yeah, I ran up the steps and into that room. I don't know how they knew I was in there, he started to bang on the door. He wanted me to open it, I held the doorknob so it wouldn't open. Then I heard your voice."
"I didn't see them outside, I heard footsteps upstairs and I knew it wasn't yours, I darted up the steps and I saw them outside of the door. Then I heard you crying."
"Do you think this happens all the time or they saw the moving truck?"
" the cops said that this doesn't happen here, they had to see the moving trucks and thought I didn't have my gun."
"I don't think they know you have a gun."
"Nope, it's in my special bag that no one is to touch."
"I know, that's why I let you carry in. I know it is early but I want to go to bed."
"Yeah, I agree with that. Let's get changed and go to sleep." I kissed her forehead before we let go. I pulled a box of my clothes and a box of her clothes from the bedroom pile.
"I forgot I had this shirt at your place! I was looking for it." She said going through the box.
Once we were both changed and we brushed our teeth, I plugged the mattress in and let it fill with air. Amy got the blankets and pillows, I put the gun back into the bag but moved the bag next to my side of the bed. we climbed into bed and I pulled her close.
"I love you so much, No one is going to hurt you." I kissed her.
"I love you too, thank you."
She snuggled into my chest as I played with her hair.
