Statues Without Eyes

"Calleigh, it's just not fair,"I let out a heavy sigh,"I know he was worried but still, I can't sit still."
"He means well though,"She smiled over the phone.
"I know,"I slowly laid back onto the couch,"It's just I didn't want to piss him off and now he's not even here."
"Well what'd you exactly say to him?"
"I said I needed space but not in that way, then he got pissed, took his keys and left."
"Aww sweetie, hey I'll go find him if you want me to?"
"I don't know,"I groaned.
"Hey Jake's here, he can come by and keep you company as I go talk to him."
"Ok,"I yawned a bit.
"We'll be over in a few minutes."
"Thanks,"I smiled hanging up my phone as I waited around for Jake and Calleigh to show up.

Hearing the doorbell ring, I slowly made my way to them in which they walked in with a smile.
"Hey, you look worse,"Jake gave me a light hug.
"Ouch, watch the ribs,"I pulled away from him.
"Come on, let's sit you down,"Jake smiled as he pulled me to the couch.
"So when did Ryan leave?"
"Um, about half an hour ago,"I shrugged,"I can't believe I screwed everything up already."
"You didn't,"Calleigh smiled,"Ryan's got issues too, I'll talk to him."
"Thanks,"I smiled at her.
"Oh problem babe,"She walked towards the door,"I'll be back in a bit."

We watched Calleigh leave as Jake turned to look at me with a smirk on his face.
"What?"
"What do you mean what?"Jake smirked.
"Jake, you don't give me that smirk unless you're going to say something wise ass."
"I do not,"He laughed at me.
"Jake."
"Ok,"he put his hands up,"I was just going to say now you guys can have make up sex."
"Um, not with these injuries."
"Sure you can,"He smirked,"It doesn't have to be that rough."
"Shut up,"I shoved him as he laugh,"So do you think it was wrong to leave like that?"
"Well no,"He looked at me,"Ryan's just worried about you with the Russian mob out there and then you're injuries."
"I know but I can't stay in the walls so long,"I looked at him,"Remember when I had that haggard crash a couple years ago."
"Yeah,"He nodded,"You tried to get out of the room right after you woke from surgery."
"I know, it was too boring."
"Just for the sake of him, stay please."
"But I want to be back in the lab,"I whined.
"Give yourself a few more days,"He smiled,"Let those ribs heal then you can probably come in. I'm sure Horatio won't mind you being there with your ankle."
"Maybe,"I shrugged.
"Trust me, you may not be in the field til it heals but you'll be able to help them out."
"Thanks,"I smiled at him as I leant on his shoulder.

We ended up watching some random TV show for a while until the front door opened and Ryan walked in followed my Calleigh.
"Come Jake,"Calleigh motioned to him as Jake got up with a smile then waved by to me.

They left and as I heard the door shut behind them, Ryan just stared me down in the living room.
"So you just had to go and call Calleigh?"He crossed his arms.
"Ryan, I'm sorry,"I looked at him,"I know I've said that a lot but I don't want you to walk out again. I'm not bored with you, I'm just bored with being alone and not having anything to do."
"Did you have any idea how worried I was?"
"Yes,"I looked down,"But I've always been tha way. I just don't want to be stuck staring at a TV. I feel so fat then, and worthless."
"I was scared that something so bad happened to you,"Ryan stood there as I got up to hobble over to him.
"And I know, I'm so sorry about that, I should've called you but I'm so used to being single and not having anyone to worry like that, it just happened."
"Then you had to get Calleigh involved-"
"Don't be pissed about that,"I tried not to laugh,"I needed someone to talk to since this fight was pretty much my fault. I brought it on myself."
"You're making this hard to stay mad."
"I know,"I looked at him,"But I take full responsibilty for what happened and I understand if you don't want to deal with me anymore."
"Sy,"Ryan caught my chin,"I don't want you out of my life. I mean sure I haven't known you that long and obviously we still have a lot to learn about each other but if you were gone, that small spot of sun in my life would be gone."
"So can I come into the lab tomorrow?"
"We'll talk about it,"He rolled his eyes as I looked at him with a big smile.
"You can keep an eye on me easier."
"I'll think about it,"He smirked.
"Can I kiss you now?"I asked biting my lip a bit.

Ryan smiled as he leant down to me to kiss me. I smiled into the kiss as he deepened it which then I ended up just heading to his room to sleep. In the morning, I woke up to the sound of his alarm going off then the warmth of Ryan leaving me which I groaned.

"Get up,"He whispered in my ear,"I'm dropping off my friend's kid then we're heading into work."
"We?"I asked looking back at him.
"Yes we,"He smiled as he kissed my shoulder,"So get up."
"Thank you,"I smiled at him as I heard him go into the bathroom.

Getting dressed was slightly hard but I was used to it by now. Basically I was just trying to find something that wouldn't be uncomfortable for me to wear today. Finally after getting dressed, I made my way out to the car in which Ryan started it up to go pick up this friend's kid to take him to school.
