 I'm woken every couple of hours by Nurse P' Rib checking on Lance.  After this happens three times, I can't hold the questions back anymore "shouldn't he have woken by now?  Should we call my brother to look at him?  I don't like how still he is!" I say not letting him answer before I fire the next question at him. 

"His body has been through a major operation and injury, so it is allowing him to rest while the mind rest and gets over the shock. He'll wake up when he's ready" he assures me. 

I nod and wait for him to leave the room before getting up and making myself something to eat.  I make omelette rice as its quick and easy and should be alright for Lance to have when he wakes up.  

I switch my phone back on but put it on silent and sigh when I see all the missed calls most of them are from Cody as well as another unknown number which I'm guessing is Suzi's. I delete them all and block their numbers.  

I answer some work-related emails and reschedule a photo shoot.  I see Dee has been trying to ring me my ex and I delete them as well.  I use to think her gossiping was cute but started to realise just how mean she could be in her remarks.  

She also had a habit of embellishing things she'd heard or been told. Something I didn't like at all. I take my laptop to the bed and sit with it on my lap and continue editing the pictures I've taken.  I think about the other pictures I want to take. 

To finish this assignment and decide that I'll have time in a few days once Lance is less in need of help.  I look at the assignments my teachers have sent so I don't fall behind.  I quickly finish two as I have everything I need on the laptop. 

I stretch and put the laptop down on the bedside table. I brush my teeth and wash my face before climbing back into bed "night P' Lance sweet dreams" I say and take his hand again.  

I fall asleep and sleep deeply not even waking up when the nurses come in to check Lance.  I wake with the sunlight streaming into my room and Lances head tucked into my neck.  He also has his right leg thrown over my left as if he was worried, I'd leave him.  

I smile and kiss the top of his head. "Morning Son" I hear Dad say from the sofa in the sitting area.  I lean up on my elbows and smile at him "morning Dad" I say making sure I don't move Lance to much.  

I chuckle to myself when he makes a noise as I lift his leg from mine. I stand up and go and hug Dad "what are you doing here so early?" I ask "got the information from the University" he tells me. 

I sit down beside him and look at his tablet as he turns it on and unlocks it handing it to me.  I watch the interview that Suzi had with security and grunt as she wraps them around her little finger. 

"Did you send the report from the attempted hack of my phone?" I ask "I did, the Principal told me, he would look into it further and apologised.  I've told them to hold onto the assault tape and I would let them know of the action, I wanted to take. Here is the list of students that took part in blocking your path and posting pictures or videos of what went on.  

It clearly shows the demerits they have received and the punishment each one of them has to carry out.  They have been published on the web site and put up on all bulletin boards around campus.  Each student involved have had their parents notified about the action taken and why it was taken" he finishes. 

"Thanks Dad, I think this will help assure P' Lance that he will be safe going back to University" I say glancing over at the bed. "he still hasn't woken up yet" I state "oh, he did about 40 minutes ago. He didn't notice me and said 'he's so cute,' before cuddling in some more and falling back to sleep" he tells me.
