A few days later I was released from the hospital and I went hoe with my boys. All of them. Derek, Spencer, Matt, and Kyle. We met up with the others who were happy to see me. All the girls hugged me and told me to never do that again,

"You scared the hell out of me Michelle!"

"Sorry Garcia."

"So…is this Matt?"

"Down girl down." She hit Derek and Matt took her hand and kissed it.

"Ello lovely."

"Oh, I am liking this." We all laughed,

"Love I'm going to take Kyle back to the hotel before coming back. And don't worry our mate here will be with Luke and his wife."

"Luke and Alex are here?"

"Yeah, Luke said he'll join us tomorrow."

"Alright," I kissed him on the cheek and he left.

We were all having a good time waiting at the restaurant for Matt.

"There he is!" Matt sat by Derek and I, and Spencer sat on the other side of me. It felt good to be free. Free felt good. We talked, we laughed, and we made merry. Hours went by before we all said goodnight and Spencer gave me a kiss and went home. Derek and I said goodnight to Matt and then we went home. He sat on the couch and just stared at te black TV,

"Derek…what's wrong?"

"Hm? Oh, nothing baby girl." I sat down beside him on the couch,

"Derek don't lie," He let out a sigh,

"Baby girl I am so sorry for not keeping my promise. I let you down."

"Derek Morgan," My tone was stern but kind, "you did not break your promise. You promised to keep me safe from my father. We never counted on a mad man that was the father of my ex-boyfriend." He laughed slightly and I hugged him,

"Derek, I'm not mad at you and I don't hold a grudge against you or anyone on your team. I am very grateful to you and the team. I don't think I'd be alive if it weren't for you lot." He laughed even harder,

"You've been around Matt to long." I hit him lightly,

"You are horrible." He laughed and kissed me on the head,

"I'm just glad you're back."

"Me too." And with that we were passed out on the couch.
