The next morning, I walked into my office with my eyes half open and slumped into my chair. I didn't get any sleep last night as my phone blew off with messages. I had to turn my phone off to get at least one hour of sleep.

Bella assured me the whole night that everything was fine, and that she and her boyfriend would be there if I needed anything. I didn't want to trouble them, but I was too scared to live in my apartment.

I leaned back on my chair and closed my eyes for a bit to get a little sleep, but I was taken back as my phone rang. My eyes shot back open, and I glanced at the number to see who it was. It was the unfamiliar number again.

I hesitantly answered the call. "H-Hello..." No answer.

I sighed. "I can hear you breathing. Who is this?" Still, no answer.

I started to get angry. "What do you want?!" I waited for an answer, but like always none came.

My blood boiled, and I hung up the phone, tossing it away as far as I could. This had gone far enough. I had to take action before something terrible came of this.

Unfortunately, my mind was so consumed with fear that I didn't have time to write a decent report for one of my clients. I only wrote down some bullet points, and none of it made any sense.

I groaned, too tired to think about it.

A knock on my door brought me back, and I called the person in.

"Dr. Sloan?" I looked up and saw Justin sticking his head out. I immediately smiled at him. "Good morning, Dr. Bieber."

"May I come in for a second?" I nodded my head, and he closed the door behind him. He stood there, not moving at all. I chuckled. "You can sit here Justin," I pointed to the chair across from me.

Justin took small steps and took the seat across from me, pulling out a folder. "I finished your report from yesterday."

I furrowed my eyebrows. "You did what?"

"It was already late, and I saw the folder on your desk. I didn't know how to reach you and I knew you would be stressed today, so I finished it for you," he spoke. "I hope you don't mind."

All the tension fled from my shoulders and I gave him a big smile. I stood up from my seat and walked up to him. Justin got up as well, and I immediately wrapped my arms around him, hugging him tight. He was surprised at first, but then wrapped his arms around me and hugged me back.

I pulled away and looked at him. "You have no idea how much I love you right now. You're my hero."

His eyes glistened with pleasure, and a smile spread across his face as well. "It was no trouble at all," I smiled at him. "You have no idea how much you helped me with that," I said.

Justin looked at the ground and scratched the back of his neck and shrugged his shoulder. "It really was no big deal."

There had to be some way I could thank him. I glanced over him and put my hand on his shoulder, causing him to immediately look at me.

"Do you have any plans tomorrow during lunch?" I asked. He shook his head.

"Alright, then let me invite you to lunch tomorrow."

"Really?" His eyes lit up. "I mean, that would be great."

"How about that restaurant down the street?"
