Noise overwhelms me and I immediately realize where I am.

I feel tired. I just want to go to sleep. There's something in my hand. I slowly open my eyes and see Felix next to the door staring in disbelief. He's about to say something but I stop him.

I look towards my hand and see Emma resting her head on the edge of the bed. Her hand is in mine. I give it a light squeeze. She seems surprised before looking up at me.

"Hey..." I manage to force my voice to work.

Tears form in her eyes and she hugs me.

"Woah there Emma."

"I didn't think you were coming back. I thought you left me. I thought I would be alone again and end up like Dad."

"Ouch,". I hear Felix's voice.

I look towards the door again and see Aunt Amelie, Bridgette, and Mrs. Sabine.

Bridgette is in tears and Aunt Amelie has fallen to her knees.

Doctors rush in and everyone is forced to leave the room.

I  had a lot of visitors. Mostly just Emma. Occasionally Mrs. Sabine. Dr. Monet came too. That was not fun.

Now that I've finally been released he will never be off my case. My house is under so much surveillance that I had to be escorted to get a croissant from Tom and Sabine's bakery. 

Speaking of them, we've been talking a lot more. We haven't spoken about Marinette yet though. I haven't talked about her with anyone yet and I'm starting to get antsy.

People need to know the truth of what happened that day.

And who better to get the truth than from the person who was right there.
