Partnered Up Again ::Blake::

[Amelia Raven Blake]

Amelia felt the tears cascading down her cheeks. She didn't look a him, the heartbreak and hurt in his voice was too much, she didn't want to see the pain in his eyes. Just knowing it was her fault sent a bullet ripping through her heart, something that had almost happened. She wished it had happened now. She never would have had to say those words to John. Sullivan had ruined her. The knife that he held was still plunged deep into her heart. Everything thing he had done still caused her pain. Every insult made her sob. Every smack sent pain through her. Every bullet sent agony through her heart. Because of Sullivan she had lost her life. She wasn't sure if anyone could bring it back.

He removed his hand from hers, trying to stand, but his knee would not support him. He knew he would need another robo thing, but now he would be robo arm and robo knee, all on the right side...but it didn't bother him. He tried to stop the tears that were sliding from his face, but only managed to slow them, a little.... He looked back at her, not tilting her head towards him, to tell her everything was okay. Because it wasn't. It simply wasn't okay. "I.....I should go...." He whispered, his voice cracking in pain. But he still couldn't get up as he tried, the metal robo on his arm, letting lose a whining sound as he tried to use his right arm to push himself up, but he couldn't do it...even if he could stand....he wasn't sure he could leave her, but maybe he could leave his shattered heart...

Amelia looked down at the IV needle stuck in her arm. She made sure Blake wasn't watching her as she slipped it out, laying it by where it was supposed to be so it looking like it was in. She sighed when he spoke, the pain in his voice ripping her heart out. When she saw that he was having troubles she gently pressed the button that called the nurse, who saw John's difficulties and guided him out, sending an odd glance in Amelia's direction. She watched him, her eyes leaking out her tears. I'm sorry... she thought as the nurse led him from the room. She took out her phone and clicked the keys sending Jim Gordon a text. I can't do this...I don't want a new partner...but I need one... That way she and John Blake would never be partnered up again. When he was gone, the room was empty. She wanted to feel his hand in hers. She wanted to feel his lips against hers. She wanted to feel his hair through her fingers. But he was gone. And none of that would ever happen. Because Amelia Raven Smith was afraid...afraid of being broken.

[John Blake]

He looked at her, sadly as she pressed the button. He didn't want to leave her...ever....But when the nurse helped him to his feet, he didn't have the power to resist her, though he could have....if he wanted to....She dragged him from the room, leaving Amelia, and his heart, behind him...She brought him back to his room and pushed him back gently on the bed, telling him his 'girlfriend' would be alright. Her calling Amelia that sent more tears down his face... He squeezed his eyes shut as the nurse left. They had been partnered again

[/b] and it was unlikely Amelia would want to still be his partner, though he wasn't sure what he wanted....ever. Though he would never stop wanting it....or her....[/center][/color]
