We were almost getting somewhere. Making progress. I thought the conversation I had with Sage would finally push her to get help.

Now, her brother nearly dying has unravelled it completely.

She didn't sleep at all last night. Sat with Ty until he fell asleep. Crept into her room afterwards, got into bed, sat up and stared at her turned off Tv.

I pulled her so she was laying with me, she sleeps a little better when I hold her. Even if it is for an hour or two.

She closed her eyes, slept a tiny bit. I'd say for thirty minutes max before she jumped up in horror. Started crying her eyes out. Said she had a nightmare about the day her parents died. Saw the man that killed them again. She says she remembers his face even to this day.

Didn't want to describe it to me though because she's was so distressed.

She sat up in bed after that, too scared to close her eyes. Kept getting up every ten minutes to check to see if her brother was still alive and breathing.

She finally stopped at around 6am. Couldn't hold her eyes open anymore so she fell asleep. I held her close to me, very protectively.

Got up myself and checked on her brother for her to make sure he was alright. Mainly for her though, me doing that. Still think he's an absolute tosser.

I let the guys know what had happened. They were skeptical, thought maybe it could have been any more of Enzo's men out there. Getting their revenge. I said I'd ask Ty or JJ for the full details so I knew. See if they also thought it could be them.

Kane asked me about Peter. If I'd heard anything since my meeting. He was going to see mum today, wanted all his facts checked in case dad had questions for him.

Told him that I hadn't heard from Peter since that day, strangely enough he'd gone extremely quiet. We had a scheduled meeting in a week or so, to discuss how much product we needed. How much he would give us for the next couple months. I'd talk to him then no doubt.

Pushed all of that aside though. Not my main focus. Sage is.

I stare down at her with a soft but worried smile. She's still asleep and it's about 9am now. I'm happy about that actually, she needs to rest.

A knock at the door steals my focus. I look over at it and see it crack open, Ty stood there, crutch in one of his hands.

"You're up and about now then." Nod to the crutch as he steps in. Doctor cooper who visited yesterday gave it to me when I walked him out to his car. Said Ty would need it. Forgot about it until last night so when I went to check on him I placed it in his room.

"Yeah." He grunts as he walks in further. Taking a seat on Sage's couch, breathing through the pain as he slowly sits.

"She sleeping?" Nods his head at his sister.

"Yeah, finally. She was up all night worrying. Kept going in and out of your room every ten minutes to check you were still breathing. If it was rapid or slow, how long it took for you to take each breath. Checked your wound and everything." I recite. Think I saw even writing down notes so she could pass it on to the doctor.
