she laid quietly on his bed until she was woken up by a terrible dream. she sat up, panting, sweat slowly gathering at her hairline. she wiped at it as she eyed the room, not knowing where she was. when she saw Tyler, her heart sped, but not for reasons of panic or fear, but because of how much she longed to touch him again. how much she actually liked him. she wondered if he liked her too. "no..." she thought "no one would like me... especially not like this." she eyed her limp legs under the blankets. she eyed she sleeping boy, then laid back down, her eyes still on him until they wouldn't stay open anymore.

Tyler awoke with a slight jerk, blinking his eyes. His eyes widened and he looked around, making sure Abby was still there. When he confirmed she was... he let out a sigh of relief. Tyler stood with a small grunt, wincing in pain. It had definitely gotten worse... all this movement hadn't helped. Yet he still stood, limping over to the small counter to make a sandwich. "I mean... she has to be hungry when she wakes up, right?" He muttered to himself. He didn't really understand... how to take care of someone, but he would do his very best. For Abby. He finished, going to set the sandwich near her as well as the water. Then Tyler sat back down in the chair, watching and waiting. After a couple seconds he rolled his eyes at his stubbornness... but ruled out sitting in the chair because it might look 'weird' that he was just waiting for her to wake up. He walked over to the counter and started cleaning things, every movement painful

-Abby slowly opened her eyes. she wasn't in her room. not the hospital room either. nor the barn. "where am i?" she quietly muttered. this was a weird dream. she could hear the shuffle of footsteps, but all she could see was darkness. suddenly something grabbed her from behind, sending her flying.- she tossed and turned on the bed. -the fighting stopped and the sound started again. she heard a slight movement and looked towards the sound. nothing. her head whipped to the other side, her hair flying in her face. still nothing. again, something jumped onto her.- Abby's body reacted by sitting up. she felt like she couldn't breath, like the monster still had a hold on her neck. her eyes were wide as she scanned the room... Tyler's room? she had not remembered being in here even though she had woken up once before to look around. she gulped and moved the covers ever so slightly. her bruises. they were getting worse each nightmare. she currently had five, the worst of which covered her entire calve of her right leg. she covered her legs back up and sighed deeply

Tyler looked at Abby as she started moving. "Abby...?" He asked quietly, walking over to the bed. His face was a mask of worry, his eyebrows creased

Abby looked at him then she sat up, moving her legs off the bed and attempted to stand. She staggered then put her hands on his shoulders. "You should sit. You've been taking care of me enough... Let me take care of you for once." She looked at his eyes, then looked down. She felt a fierce blush come on her cheeks as she looked back up at him. "Please... For me..."

Tyler's eyes looked soft... worried... unhappy... and very tired. "I took a nap while you were asleep..." he trailed off, just wishing for once this could all go away. That Abby could get better.. his ribs, arm, and voice would heal.... He looked into her eyes sadly. "If you really want me to.. I will. I just think that since you literally collapsed, passed out, and scared me half to death... I should've took care of you better..." his voice cracked slightly and he coughed, pain flashing across his face. "Stupid injuries.." he muttered... yet he back up to the chair and sat down wearily

she sat on the floor beside him and leaned her head against his leg. she didn't know how he would react but she did it anyway. she sighed. "now you have to rest" she said with a smile as she tilted her head up in order to look at him. she closed her eyes for a second then accidentally fell asleep again. she had no bad dreams. -is it because he's with me? they were here after he got up... so he is the reason i do not have bad dreams right now..!- she smiled in her sleep.

ight smile forming on his face. "It looks like you are the one who's resting..." he murmured, quietly, hall you she looked like she was finally getting restful sleep. He leaned his head back against the chair... and fell asleep himself

after about an hour, she opened her eyes to see him asleep. -yes- she thought and smiled. she laid her head on his leg again, herface facing away from him

Tyler woke soon after Abby, wincing slightly as he opened his eyes. He glanced down at the girl, but couldn't tell if she was asleep or not.. so he didn't move. Tyler yawned, running a hand through his hair and glancing outside... seeing it was almost nighttime. He hated when he woke up RIGHT before he had to go to bed again... because then he couldn't get to bed.
