Chapter 7 - Chapter 7 A Trip To The Library

As Silver woke up he held his head and said "It's already morning?" Silver stared at Amber who was standing in one of the corners of the room holding her dress down. Silver stared at her and asked, "What are you doing?" Amber stared at him and said, "I have to go the bathroom." Silver glanced around the room and said "Isn't the bathroom out in the hall?"

Amber stared at him and said, "I was too afraid to go alone... and I thought you'd get mad if I woke you." Silver walked over to her and picked her up as he said "You should've just woken me, I would've taken you to the bathroom." Amber stared at him and nervously said "I can't hold it much longer." Silver carried her out of the room and said "Don't worry we're going."

While Amber went to the bathroom Silver waited outside by the door as he said "I won't have any assignments today or tomorrow, plus I told Amber I'd take her to the library." As the door opened Amber walked out and stared at him without saying anything. Silver smiled at her and asked, "Do you feel better?"

Amber looked away and nodded with a bright red face as she whispered "Y-yes." Silver picked her up and said, "Good, in that case, we're ready to go to the library now." Amber quickly turned and stared at him as she excitedly asked "Are we really?" Silver nodded and picked her up as he said "Yeah so let's go."

As they arrived at the library Silver set her down and said "Come to think of it I don't think I've ever been to a library." Amber stared at him and said, "I-it's ok, I haven't been to one either." As they entered the library Silver glanced around and said "This place sure is quiet." Amber stared at him and whispered, "That's because we're supposed to be quiet." Silver lowered his voice a bit and said "That makes sense I guess."

Amber looked around and said, "I don't think I've ever seen so many books before." Silver nodded and said, "I think I saw some guy's office who had more before." Amber stared at him and asked, "Did he really have more books than this place?" Silver shrugged and said, "Honestly I can't remember, I was only there for less than an hour."

Silver thought about it for a moment and said "Now that I think about it, I don't think he's using those books anymore." Amber stared at him confused and asked "Why isn't he using the books?" Silver stared at her and said, "That's not too important, why don't we just enjoy the library for now."

Amber nodded and said "Right." As Amber ran off Silver smiled and said "Looks like she's already having fun." Silver walked over to a bookshelf and said "Now let's see, what should I do in the meantime." Silver grabbed a book from the shelf and walked over to a table as he said "On second thought I know exactly what I'll do."

Silver sat down and opened the book as he yawned and said "I'll do a bit of reading, and then I'll..." As Silver fell asleep Amber sat down across from him and began to read quietly to herself. Amber kept glancing at him every now and then as she asked "Does he always fall asleep this easily?" Amber leaned over the table and waved her hand in front of him as asked "Are you actually asleep?"

Amber set her other hand down on the table and said "He really has been asleep this whole time." Amber stared at the book he was sleeping on top of and began to reach for it as she mumbled to herself "Just a little further." As her other hand slipped out from under her she landed on the table and made a loud thump noise waking Silver and startling everyone else in the library.

Silver stared at her for a moment and asked "Are you okay?" Amber quickly pushed herself back up and nodded with a bright red face while shouting "I-I'm fine!" Silver stared at her and asked, "Aren't we supposed to keep our voices down?" Amber sat down and nervously said, "I-I'm sorry, please don't be mad." Silver stared at her and said, "You'd have to worry about the other people in the library getting mad, you don't really have to worry about me getting mad."

Silver stared at her and yawned as he asked "So why did you create so much noise?" Amber glanced at him and said, "I was curious about what you were reading." Silver glanced down at the book and said "I don't really know if you can count that as reading." Silver slid Amber the book and said "If you wanted to know you could've just asked."

Amber stared at the book in a confused way and said "A cookbook?" Silver nodded and said "Not very interesting but I do have my own book full of recipes that I wouldn't mind trying to make." Amber stared at him and said, "I didn't know you liked cooking." Silver reached into his shirt and pulled out a small brown book as he said "I wouldn't mind cooking, but I rarely have the time."

Amber stared at him and silently asked, "You... have tomorrow off right?" Silver nodded and said, "Well that's true, but Jax will probably call me in early." Amber stared at him and asked, "Does that mean I'll be in the daycare again?" Silver nodded and said, "Unfortunately yeah, my job is pretty dangerous as you know so I can't just bring you with me."

Amber stared at him and said, "Then what if we went back to the hotel, would you be able to cook?" Silver stared at her and said, "Not likely since the hotel room we have doesn't have a kitchen, just two beds." Amber stared at Silver and said, "Oh, sorry I didn't know." Silver smiled and said, "Don't worry about it."

Silver yawned once again as he said "I'll find someplace to cook some other time, for now, you can just enjoy the library." Amber stared at Silver's cookbook for a few moments before opening it and seeing a picture of a cake. Amber glanced at the words written on the bottom of the picture that reads "A recipe given to me from a chef I met on the job."

Amber glanced at Silver and said, "So he does have more friends than just Jax." Amber stared at him and asked, "Are you gonna sleep the entire time we're here?" Amber stared at him for a few seconds waiting for a reply as she said "Never mind." Amber pushed his cookbook back beside him and continued reading as she said "I'll just leave this here so you don't get mad at me for waking you just to give it back."

After another hour or two Silver slowly opened his eyes and said "Oh right, we're at the library." Silver stared at the cookbook that was a few inches away from him as he asked "Did I forget to take it back?" As Silver picked the book up and put it back into his shirt Amber came back with another book. Silver glanced at her and asked, "How long was I out for?" Amber glanced towards a window and said "You've been asleep for a few hours."

Amber stared at him and said, "It's starting to get dark." Silver pulled his phone out and said "Looks like I've got a ton of missed messages from Jax while I was asleep." Amber sat down and asked, "What did he say?" Silver opened the message and said, "Looks like he found more work for me." Amber stared at Silver and said, "That's good news right?" Silver nodded and said, "Yeah, the more work I get the sooner I can retire, of course, if I do too much I might get forced into another kind of retirement though."

Amber stared at him worried as she asked "D-do you mean... dying?" Silver nodded and said, "Yeah, like I said it's a tuff job." Amber stared at him looking slightly upset as a tear rolled down her face as she said "Please don't die and leave me, I don't wanna be alone again." Silver stared at her and said, "Now hold on why are you just killing me off, I never said I was going to die." Amber stared at him and said, "But your job is dangerous."

Silver nodded and said, "Yeah but that doesn't mean I'm guaranteed to die." Amber wiped the tear from her face and asked "Does this mean you won't die and leave me all alone?" Silver sat there for a moment and said "I can't guarantee that I won't die, but I will make sure your not alone if I do die." Silver stood up and said, "Anyway, you shouldn't worry about it, I've been in this job for a while now and am used to most of this stuff, so to make a long story short it's gonna take a lot more than this job to kill me."
