"Not again." I said sitting up. "Your okay." Michael said walking in. "Where is my dad?" "He knocked you to the floor, then once your head started bleeding him grabbed his coat and ran off." I couldn't talk. My throat closed up. "Babe. Breath. You will black out again." "How... How is your wrist?" He held up his arm to show me a blue cast. "Oh. Does it hurt?" "A little but I care more about you." "Thanks." "Can I have a kiss?" He leaned and kissed me. It was amazing. Until my head started spinning and dizziness took over. I pulled away and curled up into a ball. "Zoe?" "I am fine. Room spinning but I will live." Michael sat on the bed next to me and pulled me onto his lap. "Okay. But if it happens again tell me and I will talk to a doctor about it." "Okay." I rested my head on his shoulder and closed my eyes.

"Zoe?" Owen ran into the room. "Hey." I said rubbing my eyes. "Did I wake you?" I nodded. "Sorry." He rubbed the back of his neck and looked at Michael. "What happened? I leave and then a hour later I get a call saying Zoe is in hospital." I rested my head back on Michael shoulder and closed my eyes, once again. He rubbed my back. "I will tell you what happened. Zoe had finished patching me up. We went downstairs to ask for a lift. He starts flipping out. Saying it was my fault and that she was useless. Now we are here."

"Michael my head is spinning again." I said holding my head. He placed me back on the bed and walked off. The dizziness consumed me and black started to cloud my vision. "Zoe? Zoe?" Was the last thing I heard before the black void swallowed me whole.

*Dream*

"Babe. Came on. Piper isn't going to have a good education if you don't get better." Michael said stroking my hair. "Michael?" "Oh. Don't tell me you have forgotten us. This mental asylum isn't helping it is making you worse." "Then take me home." "You really have gone mad. We both know I can't. Your to ill." "Please. I will stop being crazy I promise." "You said that when you removed your piercings but look at you." "I will be a good girl. Please." "Stop." He stood up and walked to the door. "Me and Piper will visit later. She misses you." "I miss you too. And Piper." He walked out and closed the metal door.

"We are back." I looked up and saw Michael holding a small girl. She looked so sad. Too much sadness for a girl who looked no older the five. "Hi mummy." She waved at me. "Hey Piper." Michael put her on the floor and she ran over to me. "You look so beautiful." She blushed at my comment and placed a hand on my cheek. "I want you to come home." "I want to too." Piper hugged me and sat on my lap.

"Zoe. Are you getting better?" Michael said stroking my hair. "I don't even remember why I am here?" "It was my fault. You moved away and when you came back Owen and Jade were murdered by the gang. You went crazy." "See. Look at me. I am fine now. Take me home please." "It's not my decision." He sat next to me and grabbed my hand. "One day you will get out of here. But not today. I miss you so much. But a part of me hates you for taking out you piercings." "I miss them too. But I had too. For you. You thought I was so crazy. That I had lost my mind completely." "I was scared that's all." He kissed me. Like always, my hands found there way into his hair.

"Stop! She isn't stable. Kissing her will make her worse!" A nurse said running in. Michael pull away straight away and took Piper off me. Guard restrained me and put me in a straightjacket. "Let go of me. I was fine. I still am fine. Michael help me. See its still Zoe. I haven't lost the bend." He cupped my cheek. "Sorry. Love you but it's for your own good." "You bastard! I am perfectly fine." "Temper temper." He kissed my cheek and walked out.

"You are progressing." "Please let me go." "If you think you are fine?" "Look at me. I want to see Piper grow up and spend time with Michael." "Okay. One episode and you are coming straight back." I nodded. "I will call Michael to come and collect you." I nodded again.

------

"Hey babe. Time to go home." Michael said walking in. He hugged me. Guards took of my straightjacket and walked me out the building. Piper was sat in the front smiling at us. "Hello Piper." She waved at me and a gigantic grin formed across her pale face. I climbed into the back.
