Being released from the hospital two days later I still can't stop thinking about what my father had said, I don't know if I can believe him nor do I know if I can trust him. He has double-crossed me before and I'm not about to fall for it again. He did not visit me again and I knew why, he just came there to give me that information, and then he would be waiting when I come running to him but I'm not about to do that. I'm much stronger than that and I don't need him or the ballet studio that he says he's going to build.

As soon as I walk out of the hospital room I'm greeted by the cold air of the morning and I can't help but take a deep breath and allow that fresh air to sink into my lungs and fill my body whole. My eyes scan the area around me and as I was about to walk home I spot someone. Steel is leaning against his car and looking more handsome than my memory remembered. I sigh with relief that he's not in jail, and he's out here, though I don't know why he's here.

I walk over to him and once I'm close to him, I can feel my heart only want to jump out of my chest to land on his palm where he will protect it forever and make sure that it will never break. The thought that comes to my mind brings the blush rising to my cheeks and I find myself unable to stop it. "Hi" I say to him as I stand in front of him. I had forgotten how tall he was, and yet he is not scary, not at all. I truly had missed him.

"Lila" He speaks, his voice makes my heart flutter and my knees are having a hard time keeping my body standing and I wonder if I will be able to stand after being near him and my body reacts in this way. "What are you doing here?" I ask him. I wanted to ask him why he was around me after everything, perhaps he thinks that I was the one that turned him in and told everyone that he did this to me when I did no such thing. While I was in the hospital there was this fear rising with me that he did not want to have anything to do with me.

"I needed to see you" He speaks, his voice is filled with sorrow. I can't be sure if I am the one that caused that or not but I know that I can be the one to chase it away. I smile to him. "Can you stay with me?" I ask him. My apartment still would not make me feel safe if I go there alone and while the police have put people around the neighborhood to patrol, I still don't feel safe in my own apartment.

He nods his head. "Thank you" I tell him. He takes my hand and leads me to the front passenger seat where he opens the door for me. I give him another thank you and climb into the car. He closes the door and gets into the driver seat. I did not know that he had a car but his car is actually rather nice and it smells just like him. I have missed the smell of his cologne and just his smell. I missed how it filled me with comfort and made sure that the air around me was not tainted.

"Can you take me to the ballet studio?" I ask him before he has turned on the engine. He gives me a shocked look. "You just came from the hospital, you should be resting" He tells me and I let out a sigh. "That's just it, I've been resting for days and I can't do it anymore. I feel better than fine and I can do it. Besides, I need this" I tell him. I hate to do this but my eyes are begging him to take me there. I need to dance, it's making me want to go insane without it.

Another day without dancing is something that I will not be able to do and if I have to spend another hour in bed, I'm going to officially go insane. I can't do that. Steel lets out a sigh. "All right but I'm staying with you the whole time" He tells me and I smile to him. I don't waste time and wrap my arms around him and hug him tightly but my small arms can't reach around his entire body since he's massive, besides the angle that the car has is not a good one.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you" I say to him. Steel is stiff under my embrace and when I realize that I'm actually touching his skin as he is only wearing a t-shirt I back away and look down in embarrassment as the blood once again rises to my cheeks as the blush forms in pink on my cheeks. After a couple of seconds have passed he starts the engine and begins to drive off to the ballet studio where I know my heart will feel at rest as well as my feet and just my entire body.

This is going to be something that I need, I did not lie about that. Never again will I lie to Steel. I trust him more than I have ever trusted anyone in my life. The blush still remains on my face and I can tell that it is not going to disappear any time soon as I'm constantly thinking about him and I don't want it to go away as I don't want to stop thinking about him. He has taken over my thoughts in the best way possible but I'm allowing it to happen with a smile on my face and brightness lighting up my heart.
