I blinked once. Twice. Three times before I could see anything again. I felt like I had been run over. I didn't see much as the room was darkened. But what I saw was my leg up in a sling and my knee in a fat splint. It wasn't until I tried to move my blanket and it didn't move that I realized someone was holding my hand and there was a head on my bed.

Jadon must have fallen asleep waiting for me to wake up. I was completely exhausted and slowly pain came to the fore. So I let myself go and fell asleep again within seconds. And again, Jadon wormed his way into my dreams.

I must have slept about four more hours because it was now lighter in the room. Again I felt a hand but this time no head. I looked around and when I suddenly saw Dave sitting there, I was sure my heart stopped for a moment. As if by reflex, I wanted to pull my hand away, but I didn't have enough energy and strength to do so. But he noticed that I was awake. "Hey beautiful, how are you?" he breathed.

I could have puked in disgust. "I didn't want to wake up like that," I whispered with all my might. "Your knee looks sore...but it'll be fine," he just kept talking as if it was a matter of course that he was there at all. "How do you know where I am?" I asked anxiously. "Oh, Brittan... I'm not stupid. Haven't you ever liked my flowers?" I swallowed a big lump. It all made sense. Jadon was right. Louise was right.

A feeling of panic shot through my body and I tried to act as quickly as possible in this state. I tried to press the help button that was shown to me before the surgery. But he wasn't there. Fucking hell it wasn't there! Where is it?? I felt half the bed in my rather immobile lying position, in which I was powerless. "Na na na" Dave laughed and when I looked at him I saw the button in his hand.

So I screamed. With all power. But that's exactly what I lacked, the strength. Not a single sound came out except a pathetic pips. Dave just laughed and leaned over me, he was so close now that I could feel his breath on my face. "Brittan girl. Don't worry, I won't hurt you. I just want one thing", his laugh morphed into a wicked smile. "It's you."

Many tears formed and I didn't hesitate for a second to let them out. "Don't cry," he said as if he were speaking to a small child, brushing a tear from under my eye with his finger. If I had had the strength, I would have thrown up.

But suddenly the door to my room opened. But Dave didn't move an inch. Now I was crying loudly, suddenly I had strength because I knew someone could hear me. "WHAT IS THIS SHIT?!" I heard a male voice yell. Jadon! "Jadon. Please... please help me" I got out with the last of my strength. He pulled Dave away from me and before I could react he punched his face with a clenched fist. At least I thought so. I closed my eyes. He didn't seem to have done it after all.

He got very close to Dave's face and said in a frenzy, "Don't worry baby... I'll take care of it. I'm here, don't forget. Always." I knew I could let myself go now and relaxed to some extent.

In the meantime doctors came running and called the security, they checked all my values ​​and my wound. Since I had just woken up after the operation. When the doctors left, Jadon sat down next to me and gave me an apologetic look. "I'm sorry Britt baby... I just wanted to get something to eat. I wanted to be there for you! I messed it up. I'm going to kill this guy," his voice kept swinging between sad, angry, disappointed, determined, and worried.

I took his hand and squeezed it as a sign for him to finally shut up. "Jadon. I have seen you. Next to me", I started. His expression looked surprised and confused at the same time. "But..." he wanted to start. But he stopped quickly because he realized that I wasn't done yet. "After the operation I woke up in the semidarkness. And I saw you. You held my hand and slept. You looked so cute.. I didn't want to wake you up. I know you were there and I thank you so much. Because that's the only reason I fell asleep again. I felt safe. Because I knew you were there".
