15. Progress

Rocco POV

It's been 6 weeks since we have been back and 7 and a half weeks since the shark attack and the bomb. Kyle has looked into it and whoever did it has covered there tracks well even though we are certain it's Ryan or Kirsty, he did question them but they have alibis which check out apparently but he said he will continue looking into there alibis because he said when he spoke to them he didn't trust them.

I've asked my boss for some time off so I can help look after Demi and he said that was fine because I haven't had time off in ages and have so many holidays to take and he said he wishes Demi luck in getting better. Today me and Demi are off to do her first physio therapy session, they had to put it on hold until her wound had fully healed and she got the stitches out.

These past 6 weeks have been really challenging for Demi, she cries almost everyday, hardly sleeps, barely eats, if I wasn't 100 percent sure I would say she is pregnant but we haven't been intimate yet so unless it's baby Jesus then we have a problem. Her mum said she is getting depressed again, she went through a stage with depression when she lost her dad and shortly after Ryan and her broke up.

I think being hurt by the shark, the bomb, the note and finally opening up about her past and remembering has triggered her depressive state back, I've planned a really nice picnic in there backyard later and I hope she can relax and tell me what's bothering her the most.

I walk into the kitchen and see my beautiful goddess standing there leaning on the counter so she isn't pressing weight into her leg and she is wearing ripped loose jeans, a grey top and a red checkered jacket.

She is drinking a tea and just staring into space.

Rocco – You okay goddess?

She looks up and smiles at me and for the first time in 7 and a half weeks it's a genuine smile.

Demi – I feel really good today!
