Chapter 100 Seren

• I had laid within the now familiar walls of my hospital room looking around, losing all sense of time. I could not help but wonder where Lachlan had got to. Yes, he had said he would give me space, but what exactly did that mean? I assumed, giving everything else he had said he would be returning later that day. Maybe the next. But here we were, or here I was, days later and there was still no sign of him. I would not lie, it hurt.
• And, I felt like a fool for ever allowing it to hurt. Not to mention to have allowed, once again, my hopes to be built around anything Lachlan Lamont had said or done. He said he could change. He said he was a good guy. All things were pointing to nothing having changed. And, forgiven or not, I was finding it increasingly harder to view him as a good guy.
• Despite me craving the company of Lachlan, I still had company; and plenty of it too. My Mum continued her daily visits, as did my brother. My Aunts too, my Uncle when he had the chance. All making far too much fuss of me, and being far too over-attentive, which in all honesty was growing old. I knew they cared and I knew they had been scared for me, but personal space was being invaded... And now my wonderful friends had begun to visit too, and they were even worse than family for making a fuss. Needless to say, I was glad of the silence when they all upped and left at the end of the day.
