Grey Eyed Savior

LI. Time heals all wounds.

Adams POV

I quietly close the door, leaving it open slightly in case Avery needs me or Jake. I make my way down the stairs and into the kitchen to find Jake looking through the cabinets for food.

"Where's all the good stuff man," he asks as he gives up looking and I chuckle. "We might have to go to the store." I laugh. "We've been in the hospital for a while and haven't really had much time to do anything," I say and take a seat at the kitchen table.

"Yea I understand," Jake sighs as he sits on the counter. "So, how is she," Jake asks. "She's really tired man. I don't know how much more of this she can take. She's been through hell and she's trying her best but I know it's taking a toll on her," I say and sigh, laying my head into the table.

"Why don't you go get some rest and I'll go to the store and pick up some food and stuff," Jake says and I pick my head up, looking at him. "No Jake I can't-," it's not a problem Adam, really. Now go get your ass in bed," he says as he jumps off the counter and makes his way towards the door.

I sigh once again and make my way up the stairs, and into the room with Avery. I strip down to my underwear and throw on some shorts, then slowly slide under the sheets.

I look at Avery and gently pull her towards me, hearing her sigh in her sleep and feel her curl towards me. I let out a light chuckle and feel my eyes begin to close.

Avery's POV

I wake up and feel pain in my stomach where my wound is. I let out a light whimper, and to my surprise, feel Adam wake up and he immediately asks what's wrong.

"I didn't mean to wake you up," I say through gritted teeth," but it seems my stomach isn't going to play nice this morning." I feel Adam get up at my words and watch as he makes his way out the door.

He's back within seconds carrying the medication and ointment for the wound. As he makes his way towards me, I can't seem to take my eyes off his very sculpted chest. God the things I could do to this- I hear him clear his throat, bringing me back to reality.

"What are you looking at love," he chuckles and sits on the chair next to the bed, bringing it closer to the edge. "Umm," I cough and then wince. "Come here sweetheart," he says and I slowly sit up.

He reaches for the hem of my shirt and raises it slowly. He takes off the gauze and I feel the cold air tough my skin, creating goosebumps.

"It looks a little irritated so we might have to clean it," he says and looks at me. "Well, I could use a shower," I say and laugh, not forgetting the pain. He helps me up and guides me to the bathroom.

He turns on the water so the tub fills and goes to leave. "Umm, where are you going," I ask in confusion and he chuckles. "I'm just going to tell Jake that I'm helping you. We wouldn't want him to worry love," he says and walks out the door.

I wrinkle my face in confusion and slowly begin to take off my clothes. I take the bottom half off and attempt the top but wince. Adam quickly returns and I laugh. "I can't do itttt," I whine and cross my arms over my chest.

He laughs and makes his way over to me, putting my face in his hands and kisses me slowly. I sigh and wrap my arms around his neck, feeling slight tension on my stomach but forget about it to second his tongue slips into my mouth.

A sound I can't describe makes its way out of my throat and I pull him closer. He lifts me up and sets me on the counter, releasing the tension from my stomach.

We stay like that for what feels like hours. He finally pulls away and both of our chests heave. "Wow," I laugh and lay my head on his chest. "It's gonna be a long few weeks," Adam laughs and helps me with my clothes.

The bathtub is almost overflowing and I laugh. "Good thing we stopped when we did huh?" I say and he helps me in. I wince when my stomach hits the water, but sigh in relief when I'm fully submerged and I lay my head back against the edge and sigh.

"Im going to wash you hair first ok?" He says and I open my eyes and nod. I submerge my hair into the water and come back up. He applies shampoo and then conditioner, helping me rinse and then helps me wash my body.

Once we're finished he leaves so I can shave and then I open the drain. "Adaaaaam, I'm dooooone," I yell but hear no response. I sigh and put my arms on the edge of the tub and push my self up.

I wince and groan in pain, and hear the door open just as I'm about to fall. "Av, it's me I just Umm," I hear Jake say and I laugh quietly.

"Jake, where the fuck is Adam," I laugh as I open my eyes to see him looking up. "He went out, he said he wouldn't be long. God why did this happen," I laugh and wince.

"Can you just help me out. Just hand me the towel," I say and he nods his head, setting my back down into the tub. He hands me the towel and I wrap it around my self.

He guides me out of the tub and I sit on the toilet seat. "Sooo, where did Adam say he was going?" I ask and Jake looks at me, his face red.

I laugh and hold my stomach  "Jake, oh my god," I say trying not to laugh. "Avery I don't know where he went but I sure hope he comes back soon," he says and I sigh and hug him.

"Jake, it's ok. I'm glad you came in cause I probably would have just hurt myself more than I already have," I say and he sighs and hugs me back.

I hear the door open and see Adam walk in. "Sorry I took so long I just ran to the store and-," he turns to see us hugging and his face morphs in confusion. "Umm," he says and me and Jake both start to laugh.
