I woke up the next morning feeling a million times better than last night. I lay on my mattress for a while trying to figure out how I was going to get to a clinic. I decided to go get breakfast first. I walked into the kitchen and saw Christian cooking something in a pan. I was about to see what it was when I smelled it. Bacon, I wanted some.

I was about to ask if he could make me some as well when I felt the feeling on nausea roll over me again. I tried to suppress it, but it was very ineffective. I ran to the bathroom but the door was locked I pounded on it as I swallowed hard and felt a burning in my throat.

Dimitri opened, I just shoved him out of the way and fell to my knees in front of the toilet. I emptied the contents of my stomach and lay on the floor shaking. I didn't notice I was crying until Dimitri had knelt beside me and wiped the tears away. I pulled away from him, but he didn't move. Lissa stood in the doorway looking at me with a sympathetic look. She couldn't get past Dimitri because the bathroom was so small. Dimitri offered me his hand. I didn't take it. I buried my face in my knees so I could hide my tears. Dimitri walked out of the bathroom.

Lissa came over and sat beside me. She pulled me into a hug and stroked my hair. The tears stopped coming but my body was still shaking and my throat was burning. Dimitri came back into the bathroom and handed me a water bottle. I looked up at him and tried to say a thank you but my throat was to dry and all that came out was a small animal like noise. He shushed me.

"Don't talk Roza, just drink the water and maybe try to eat some breakfast." He used his nickname he had for me. I hadn't heard it in so long. He left the bathroom again. I wanted to run into his arms and have him tell me everything was going to be okay, but I couldn't do that. He moved on and now so did I.

Lissa helped me stand up slowly. She helped me onto my mattress. "I'll wake you up when the moving truck gets here." I wanted to protest and tell her I had go the clinic but I didn't. Dimitri was watching us in the corner of the room and my eyelids began to feel heavier and heavier.

When I woke up I saw the sun was up and Lissa was fast asleep on the mattress next to me. I shook her arm and whispered.

"Lissa, where is the moving truck?" She looked at me and I could tell she was tired.

"No, no, Rose, Dimitri and Christian helped me unload he boxes. Don't worry we still have to unpack all of them, you need to sleep. When you wake up we can figure out when you can go to a doctor." Before I had the chance to respond Lissa was lying comfortably on her pillow falling asleep again. I did the same.

I woke up a few hours later. I can't believe I slept through a whole day. Lissa was watching some home decorating show while eating some cereal on the mattress next to me. The pain in my head was completely gone and I didn't feel nauseous like before. Lissa noticed me sitting up.

"Are you excited to start building some furniture? Christian and Dimitri said they would help but Tasha said she had to meet someone today. She want to help us later though." My stomach growled.

"Well I guess it wouldn't help to have strong guy, and someone who wants to pretend he is." Lissa giggled a little at that. "But seriously I'm starving I need to eat something first." I stood up and felt a little light headed, it went away quickly though. I went into the kitchen and opened the fridge. I decided I was going to try and eat healthier foods.

I took out the cartoon of orange juice and pour myself a glass. I put the drink on the counter and went to grab my phone. I went back to my orange juice and sat on a barstool. I had two messages. First was from Mia.

'Thank you for getting me this job, they are all so nice and said if I do a good job they could get me a permanent teaching job.' I never knew she wanted to be a teacher. 'Thanks again!' I texted her back

'Not a problem glad you like the job. See you later'

The second message surprised me, it was from my mother.

'Hello Rose, I just wanted to see if you got to court safely and to tell you I'll am coming to get a new assignment on Sunday.'

'I'm just about to start unpacking my stuff, thanks. See you on Sunday.' She never said she was actually going to make time to see me but I wanted to for some reason.

I put my phone down and finished the last of my orange juice. A tired Christian walked into the room.

"How did you get up before me?" He was rubbing his eyes and smoothing his hair.

"Well I slept all day yesterday, and according to Lissa you actually helped unload our truck yesterday, so thanks I guess" He waved his hand at me and opened the fridge. He took out some eggs and got a frying pan out of a cabinet. I was about to leave when he asked me a question seeming much more awake than before.

"Don't you have to go to the clinic today?" I shushed him.

"I can't I don't know anyone who can drive me." He gave me the same look Eddie had when I asked him to take me.

"Why won't you just go to the one at court? They'll know a little more about your, um, situation." I shook my head.

"I don't want anyone to know. I haven't really figured how I'm going to tell uh- um" I pointed to Dimitri's room." He nodded "Plus my mother is coming to court on Sunday to get a new assignment, if I go to a court doctor she will definitely find out."

"That's good isn't it you can tell her then." I didn't answer him. I knew she was going to find out but I didn't want to tell her yet. He focused on the eggs he was frying. "Do you want me to make you one?" I was about to say no when my stomach grumbled again. He laughed at me "One breakfast special for Rose Hathaway coming up." I gave him a small smile and started to think about my mother.

Maybe I should tell her when she comes, who knows when I get another chance. What if she doesn't want to see me though? She might have just been being polite telling me she was coming. However, decided that if I got the chance I would tell her on Sunday. Christian interrupted my thoughts.

"You know, if you tell him." He gestured toward Dimitri's door. "He could drive you." I thought about it for a moment before quickly deciding I didn't want to yet. I shook my head. "It's either you tell him or he finds out on his own." Just after he said that, Dimitri walked into the room. I ignored him.

"Morning Christian, Rose." Christian looked at me. He knew what I was doing.

"Morning Dimitri, Do you want some eggs too?"

"I would appreciate that, thanks." He sat in the barstool next to me. "Do you still need my help today Rose?" I snapped at him again.

"I didn't ask for your help, Lissa did, but if you have something better to do feel free to bail on me again!" I felt bad about that. I calmed down. "I'm sorry, if your need to do something else you can but we would appreciate your help." He looked at me with a puzzled look on his face. He held an envelope in the air.

"I need to drop this off at the guardian headquarters but I would be happy to help after that." Christian placed a plate of eggs in front of both of us. He took the last plate and sat in the last barstool beside Dimitri. We ate in silence. I finished my breakfast and put the empty plate in the sink, and washed the dishes. I looked at the two sitting finish there meal.

"Thanks, Christian." I walked into the living room and picked out some clothes to wear. I went into Dimitri's bathroom and got ready for the day.
