Luke was there when she woke up but she didn't know who he was nor did she know their sons. Luke had spent this past week sleeping on the couch, because he didn't want to push her or make her feel uncomfortable. He stuck with the routine that they had been doing for the past year with the kids it was easier that way. Luke and Ellie have been together since senior year of high school, they had their first son Aiden three years before they were married.
Luke has been running around like a crazy person lately, besides being a father and a husband he is also a cop. Luke had to take time off of work to get their lives back on track an to help out at home. Luke couldn't complain though at least he had his wife back and he gets to spend more time with his amazing kids. Luke shook his head and came back to present closing the book that sat on the table in front of him that he was suppose to be reading. He took a look on the monitor to see Oliver and Xavier sleeping before he went to check on Aidan.
Luke spent fifteen minutes watching Aidan sleep then walked out of the room quietly. He made his way to the master bedroom where Ellie was sleeping, he placed his hand up to knock but stopped himself. Instead he leaned against the wall and closed his eyes for a minute, sighing Luke took a deep breath and pushed off the wall making his way down the steps and into the kitchen.
Just then his cell rang really loud so he grabbed it so it wouldn't wake the kids. Luke smiled seeing his brothers dorky picture on his phone, he spoke for a bit until he heard footsteps in the hall. Luke said goodbye and hung up before pouring himself a stiff drink and waited to see who was up." Can't sleep either?" |

lights will guide you home and ignite your bones ellorah had no idea how she ended up where she was. for the past week, she found herself in a lone bed in some strange house, wondering if all of it was even real or if it was all just lies. she was just having such a hard time dealing with everything in her life at the moment. she had a husband and kids, or so she was told, and was this whole different person that she thought she was. the doctor had suggested that she continue on with her life in the same routine she held beore the accident, claiming that it might help her regain the memory she lost. she had wanted to ask what would happen if she never remembered. what if she didn't? was she just supposed to sit around and act like things were completely fine and dandy?
slowly, she sat up in the bed, tilting her body to stare down at the large vacant area of the mattress beside her. it was only natural that it must have been where lucas slept. there was no other reason why she would have such a large frame if not. her hand slid over, running absently over the sheets, shutting her eyes. if she really was in love with him, she was sure to remember sooner or later. her eyes opened, glazed in appearance as tears sprung to the corners of it. everything was just so hard. and even though she liked to believe she would, there was a chance that so many memories would never come back. they would be forever floating in an abyss unreachable to her sunconscious mind.
slowly, she stood up and reached over towards her bed frame, pulling off her small coat that was hanging there. slipping it on, she made her way out of her room and through the hallways, taking her time as she moved along, her eyes trailing over as much as she possibly could, looking for anything that she might remember. her arms curled in front of her, crossing over her chest as she looekd down, taking a slow breath. it wasn't until she heard someone speak that she came back to reality, jumping at the sudden intrusion of her reverie. she looked up to see lucas, nodding slowly. "it takes me a while." she walked over beside him, opening a drawer and pulling out a small glass to pour herself some water. it was undoubtedly awkward, but she knew she had to try. "..do you usually have trouble sleeping? it is unbearably quiet once the kids are asleep." and i will try to fix you |

[atrb=border,0,true][atrb=style, background-color: dddddd; border: #cccccc solid 8px; width: 420px; padding: 15 5 15 5px;] STARTED WITH A WHISPER The Words: 448The Notes tired
Luke looked at her for a minute and then nodded his head, "I don't usually have trouble sleeping but lately yeah I can't really sleep." He stopped there and finished his glass before pouring him anotherone. " Yeah with the kids in bed it is quiet but I am us to it, i was always up when they were babies." Luke felt like an idiot standing there this was his wife he was talking to. He thought back to when they could talk about anything with each other and now it was hard it felt awkward. Luke goes back to the day of the accident and remembers how the last thing he said to Eliie before the accident was that he loved her and now she doesn't remember him. His heart breaks every time he thinks about it, and standing here next to her knowing that he can't hold her is hurting him even worse then the memories.
"Sleeping on the pull out couch is harder then it looks." He shrugged and nodded to her. "How are you doing Ellie? I am not trying to push you but you can talk to me about anything." Lucas felt like a dork but who cared he missed his wife and he thought she would have her memory back but he was wrong. Hell going with out sex was hard but he is a guy after all its only natural that his mind heads in that direction. "This is not a normal case for well anyone, and its hard for you more then me. None of this is fine I know that believe me and it most likely will be this way for some time it seems. " He shook his head and frowned " Well the good thing baout this means that we get a second chance and get to start over."
Lucas hoped he sounded convincing as he sopoke, he deep down was not quite sure how much he longer he could do this. he remembered how happy he and Ellie were when they found out they were having a baby it was as if his whole world fell in to place. He finished the last of his second glass and placed it in the sink and decided to pour himself a gass of water. "I am about to watch a movie if you want to join me. Ha you can even snuggle with me since you get scared easly " He smiled at her and then put his hand to his head and frowned. "Sorry about that I guess I will slip every now and then, still getting use to this. The whole snuggle thing we use to do before the .....accident."

lights will guide you home and ignite your bones ellorah looked up at luke as he spoke, genuinely feeling some concern for his well-being when he said he hadn't been able to sleep. she may not know the man but that didn't mean that she wanted him to be miserable, especially is she was the reason behind his unease at night. when he mentioned staying up with the kids, she gave the faintest smile. hearing that, she was sure he must have been so good with them when they were younger. but then, he was wonderful with them now. she really wished she could remember, but every time she really pushed herself to try, she got these splitting headaches. part of her was scared that she wasn't going to know who she was if she did remember, though. what fi there were things she found she didn't like.
her eyes trailed down when he brought up sleeping in the couch, biting her lip softly. she looked back up to him, giving him a small and distant smile as he encouraged her to talk to him. she nodded, wishing she could feel more comfortable with him and tell him everything she was feeling, but it was almost impossible when she didn't even know who he really was. but, even though she was hurting and scared, she couldn't imagine what luke must be going through. if she married a man and suddenly all traces of her were gone from his memory, she wouldn't know what to do. he must be so distraught. she nodded and gave him a smile, more genuine this time. "things will get better." she laughed quietly. "the only way you can go once you hit rock bottom is up, right?"
she looked at him for a while, trying for a moment to find something about him. anything, even if it was just a blurry image. she drank more water, closing her eyes. she didn't like knowing that she was making him hurt. she coudl see it in his eyes when he looked at her. there was no way all of this was a lie. she looked back up to him, tilting her head with mild confusion when he said she was scared of horror movies. she didn't remember. she smiled and placed her glass down, moving closer to him and taking his hand. "let's watch it. and, if its okay, i'd like to try the whole snuggling thing." she looked up at him. "second chances, right?" she began to lead him towards the living room, looking at the couch that was now his bed and glancing back at him. "luke.." she paused, a little nervous. "..can you sleep with me tonight? it gets kinda lonely." and i will try to fix you |

[atrb=border,0,true][atrb=style, background-color: dddddd; border: #cccccc solid 8px; width: 420px; padding: 15 5 15 5px;] STARTED WITH A WHISPER The Words: 646The Notes tired Luke looked at Ellie and smiled he nodded his head, "God I hope your right Ellie. Because me I am strong enough to but then again I am not worried about me I am worried about our sons." The truth for Luke is he worried more about his wife and son then himself, he was just that type of guy and what she said made sense to him at least. Luke however was not sure how much he could deal with before taking the boys and hiself and leaving to give her time. He had been thinking a lot about it and if it came to that he would take a vacation with his kids and his brother and sister. Luke was not the type of guy to force Ellie in to anything let alone force anyone els4e into anything. He wanted her to remember but he would also have to deal with the fact that she may not remember. He is just not sure how long he can be fake brave for, his kids need him and so does Ellie and that is all that matters for now when the time comes he will deal with it then.
Luke looked at Ellie when she said she wanted to watch the movie and to try the snuggling thing, " You sure because we don't have to. Okay lets say we will try it and if your uncomfortable at all then we can stop as easy as that." He listened to her and nodded when she said second chances. "Yeah I guess you can call it a second chance but this is us so we may need a third or fourth." He said with a smirk and a laugh after that, he thought to himself that he hadn't laughed like that in the last few weeks. Luke followed Ellie in to the living room and he walked passed her to set the bed back into the couch so that they could sit when her next words caught him completely off guard and he cut his hand on the metal edge of the bed. He looked at her and paused.... "Hoild that thought let me clean up my hand and then we will talk. Take a seat I will be right back."
Luke left Ellie there for a few while he went into the kitchen and rinsed out his gash before pouring piroxide on it and place gauze on it and wrapping it up. He stopped took a deep breath and let what Ellie asked him to do soa in to his thoughts for a moment before making up his mind and going back to the living room. " So before we put the movie on let me just say something. I have been thinking about this a lot lately and I don't we should force your memories of you and I that much because it doesn't seem to help us but the kids and you that seems to be working somewhat. So at this point i think its best if we focus or that. We can just let what happens between us happen and if the time comes that you don't remember then we will deal with that then, in the meantime we can just get to know eachother all over again."
Luke took a deep breath and smiled at Ellie before going over to get the movie and putting it in. "Oh I almost forgot something." He left her again giving her time while he went and got the popcorna and two bottles of water for them. He walked back in and took a seat next to her and got a blanket for them as well. One he took a seat and looked at her and smiled, " Yeah it does get lonely and cold so yeah I will spend the night upstairs but you call the shots ok." |
