Smile Off My Face

ZAC

As I watch how Amy walks out of the room my heart sinks into my shoes. I really wanted her to stay longer but I know that as Captain, I need to act like one. I also know that she has a few things to do and I am not her only patient.

But the thing that bothers me the most is that I know she is not going to get sleep tonight or tomorrow and that would be all my fault because she had to look after me. I feel so useless as a Captain that I can not do anything about it. I can feel how tired I have become and I know that I, myself, should get some sleep too.

I slowly lay down on my bed as I know that I do not want to hurt my back again and then I feel myself drifting away.

AMY

I know now that tonight is going to be a long night and this time it has nothing to do with the Captain but that I have to keep my eyes open and not make any mistakes. In my line of work, I can not afford any mistakes and I have to be on my a-game the entire time.
