"Mum, can I come in" it was Lucas wanting to talk to her. Drowsily she told him to come in, then she immediately remembered that she slept off in Alex's arm on the floor. She sat up and realized she was in her bed alone. She wondered if she had only dreamed about Alex coming to her room. Lucas pushed open her door and came to sit down on her bed. "I kind of wanted to ask for money to take Hannah out again and also can I get driving lessons Dad promised to get me a car if I aced this semester's exams".

He hugged her and left. Getting up Evelyn decided to check on Isabella. "Bella baby" Evelyn called to her as she knocked on the door, but Isabella didn't answer. Getting worried after a while of knocking and Isabelle not answering, she let herself in. Isabella's curtains were shut and she covered
Evelyn paced the hallway as she waited for the doctors to be through with Richard. After half an hour they were finally done and she was allowed to see him. " Richard honey are you okay, how are you feeling". Richard chuckled because Evelyn was acting like a mother hen but loved it. " Evelyn I'm okay, the meds reduced the pain, I'm just a little tired that's all," Richard said trying to sit up. Evelyn quickly helped him into a sitting position. "Richard I'm so sorry if I'd been home sooner, I would have............ maybe....." At this point Evelyn had began to cry and Richard pulled her closer to him and tried to convince her it wasn't her fault, but Evelyn refused to accept and she apologized profusely. Evelyn realized that she was just feeling guilty about sleeping with Alex, so she decided to tell Richard about it. "It's my fault because..... because........I......I...I..I wasn't there". Evelyn couldn't tell him. She didn't want to destroy her family and destroy him. She just cou
