A few moments later, Joe rushes in. He looked like he hadn't slept in a while. His eyes are dull and he looks like a broken toy. I want to wrap my arms round him and hug him but I knew he will hate me now. I knew this, even though the flowers tell me otherwise. He sits next to me on the bed and helps me to sit up. He wraps his arms round me and whispers in my ear "It's all right. I'm hear. I don't hate you. I'm sorry. This is all my fault. I told Kevin. I'm sorry." I forgive him. He knows I do. He hugs me tighter, letting me relax more. Tears spill from my eyes. I have Joe now. I have people on my side.

There is some things that must be done yet I can't say yet. I must not worry them and I must heal. Otherwise I will have all ready lost. That is not what I want.

I settle down to go back to sleep, to rest but Joe doesn't leave. He stays beside me. I feel him sitting there as I slowly drift into slumber. It is a comfort to know I am not alone and that is all I want right now. Comfort. I will heal soon hopefully and then I can carry out my mission.

The others will either love or hate my decision. I need them on my side but I need to do this. Even though it risks my life, this must be done. Otherwise, there is no point me getting better. There is no point living in a world where you are treated like your are going to lash out at any second. That's what happens. You make one mistake and you live by the supernaturals rules. The supernatural rules aren't rules. They are your only way to survive.
