Tara's POV
A nurse with blonde hair came in. She messed with some things and left, they haven't moved me to my room yet. I closed my eyes. The door opened. I nurse with red hair came in.
"Are you strong enough to move or do you still need the chair?" He asked.
"I think I can walk." I said.
"Okay, before I remove your restraints, please keep in mind that any lashing out will lead to sedation." I nodded. He let me out. I rubbed my wrists. The IV was still in my arm. I put my feet on the floor, but the moment I stood up from the bed I nearly crumbled to the floor.
"Little weak there eh?" The nurse asked.
"Just a little." I said. He made me sit in the wheelchair as I was pushed down the empty halls. When we reached my room I saw a man wrapped in a blanket. The nurse helped me into the bed, I sat up, the IV was still in place, but it was nice to sit up. Once the nurse left the man asked me in a voice I could recognize anywhere.
"What's wrong with you love?" Asked the familiar Ashford accent.
"Oli?!" I asked surprised. He rolled over to see my face.
"Tara?" He asked even more shocked.
Pete's POV
It had been a day since she was gone, I felt strange. Bronx was playing with Meagan in the pool. I smiled as I watched them play. I suddenly heard a banging from the front door. I opened it to reveal a fuming Mike Fuentes.
"Where is she?" He demanded.
"Not your business." I replied closing the door. I knew it was mean, but I didn't feel comfortable with him being around her so much.
"Who was that?" Meagan asked.
"Joe wanted to check in really quickly." I told her, she nodded and went back to playing with Bronx.
"I'm gonna make lunch, you guys hungry?" I asked Meagan and Bronx.
"Yes please daddy!" Bronx said splashing Meg.
"I am pretty hungry." she laughed. I went into the kitchen and started making grilled cheese. Once the sandwiches were on the griddle I started cutting up some fruit. I brought it out on three plates. Bronx happily sat down and started gnawing on his sandwich like it was the last food on Earth.
"Daddy, where is Sissy?" Bronx asked. I froze.
"She is sick, so she is getting better." I told him.
"Can I see her?" He asked.
"Not right now bud, I'm sorry." I told him. He nodded. We had a pretty nice day. I felt a little bad though, like I was forgetting my daughter almost. But I would always do whatever I could to help her.
Tara's POV
"So I'll ask you again, what are you doing here?" Oli asked.
"I'm crazy I guess, I attempted a few months back, but something new came up. I can't talk about it, but it's big." I told him.
"I'll get more out of you another day." He sighed.
"So why are you here?" I asked.
"Drugs love, I've been numb, but I think time away from home might help. I met a girl." He said.
"Me too." I told him.
"Really now?" He asked. I nodded and smiled.
"And would you mind telling me what this lovely tube does?" He asked gesturing to my IV.
