"Honey are you sure you're okay?" Mum asks as she helps me to my bed at home after two very unbearable weeks at the hospital

"Yes mom. For the hundredth time I'm fine"

"And you're comfortable?" She asks putting me down on my bed and tucking me in

"Yes mum. I'm comfortable also. Just wish I didn't have to walk around with a cast on my left arm".

"Yeah. But the doctor said we should come back in 2weeks time to have the cast removed honey. You just have to be patient"

"Ugh. Whatever" I say adjusting my head on my pillow. This last 2weeks haven't been so great "

Though Hailey and Jake tried to make me feel better, it didn't work.

Damien hadn't come to see me again since the night we kissed and I have to admit that I feel really bad, I don't know why. I know I'm in a relationship with Jake and he's in a relationship with Jane, so I'm not supposed to be thinking about him but I can't help myself. I wonder if he's thinking about me too

"Hey babe. I'm so glad that you're finally home" Jake says walking into my room with a bouquet of red roses and a little box of chocolate. Aww

"Aww Jake you didn't have to"

"Well... my love. I'm so glad that you're okay" he says giving me a Peck on the lips and then my mind goes back to the night Damien kissed me in the hospital. Ughhhh

"Are you okay?" He asks noticing the way I reacted to the kiss

"Yeah. Just tired"

"Oh. So should I leave you to rest?" He asks hoping I'd say no

"Uhm. Yes please. I'll let you know when I'm feeling better" I say bursting his bubbles

"Oh OK. Bye" he says giving me a peck on my forehead then he turns and leaves

I need to talk to Damien. I don't have any specific reason though. Just have to clear my thoughts and know where we both stand.

"Hey gurl" Hailey says quietly walking into my room. We made up at the hospital and I'm glad cause even though I refused to admit it, I missed her so much. No one understands me more than she does

"Hails" I say with a sad tone

"What's wrong?"

I haven't actually told her about my "dad" and I doubt she has met him, if not she would have murdered me by now. We have a lot of catching up to do. I haven't told her about my kiss with Damien also. I wonder how she'd react

"Wellllllll"

"Well what Ari. You can talk to me"

"You know I told you that my dad and my mum got separated years ago and he moved away with my brother?"

"Yeah. What's up"

"He's back"

"Wait. Who exactly? Your bro or your dad?"

"My dad. I have no idea where Jim is and I honestly don't care"

"OMG! What! How? Why did he choose to come back now?"

"Its a long story Hails. One of the reasons I didn't notice Damien's horn until it was too late"

"Ariana. I'm so sorry"

"Yeah its okay. I honestly don't know what to do. I'm so upset cause my mum kept it from me"

"Its okay" she says patting my head
