Jessica in a picture....

Kyra's POV.

       Another boring day in a bed. I can't wait to be allowed to take a walk outside. My legs are still unstable and I am able to walk only in this tiny room without anybody's  help. I have lot of places to support myself against. After some time on my feet, I can feel my body getting week and accompanying pain does not make my activities more enjoyable.

      I lean against my bed and slowly move my body on it. On every single movement, that takes more strength to accomplish, makes the pain resurface. The wounds are closed and healed and I don't have to worry too much about their  condition.

      Another sunset behind the window. I miss my apartment and the beautiful view of the city. I miss my old life. I want to go back to work, meet my employees, to go out with my friends. A heavy sigh leaves my lungs. And I want to spend huge amounts of time in my greenhouse. It would help me heal much faster, than being around the factories of my father.

 At least he have brought me a pot of dahlia from my workplace, which makes my mood little bit less depressing.

       A soft knock on a door and my father comes in. He have been very busy with work and our problem with people in Amber, and he can not visit me very often. I know, he would like to spend more time next to me. He gives me small smile, as he comes closer to my bed.

"I have good news for you, honey." He rubs my shoulder and watches me with sympathy. "Tonight I will bring Sharlene and Laura to visit you. I know, I have been keeping them away from you for too long. And I see you feel better, so you deserve company of other people, other than me and a ....... ....... a ... Jessica."

A little flash of sadness and regret appeared on his aged face, but I did not know, why he felt that way.

"What's wrong? Are you OK? You seem little ..... "

"Don't worry about me, Kyra. Just some problems related to work."

....

    An excited smile appeared on my lips: "It is great, I will be able to see my friends, dad! I can't wait to meet them. My mind will not calm down until I am with Laura and Sharlene." I laughed.

      Knowing of my friends visit, made my day brighter. And I was surprised about myself being able to crack a smile. Every day seemed to be beyond depressing and I struggled to find something positive. I have to make every good moment special, as little as there actually are.

"No.. No. Don't make your mind overwork. You still need plenty of rest. I don't know, where Jessica is today, kind of late. I will ask her to give you some calming medicine for you to relax before your friends manage to exhaust you." dad's chest rumbled from his deep laugh.

"OK. See you later, dad. Don't work too hard yourself."

"I will try." and he left a room.

      It was really weird. Right now is a midday, but Jessica is still not here. She usually gives me some pain killing medicine around this time. But it always is so strong and makes me fall asleep for many hours. I feel much better and I don't think I need so much of it. That is strange. I know, she wishes me well, but her behavior is odd sometimes. She is often nervous about something. I have noticed her hands trembling and lack of communication with me at times. Though, other days she seems very talkative and .... normal. I hope she is alright.
