It was cold as hell out of it. So I grabbed the blanket first. I wrapped it around me as I peeled off my soaking bra and panties. I walked back over to my clothes and was about to put them on when I was scared by Leo.

"I wouldn't unwrap that blanket from around you just yet." he said from beside me, making me jump and let out a little scream.

"Jesus. Fuckery. Christ." I slightly yelled as I held my racing heart. "You scared the shit out of me."

"Now that is a phrase I haven't heard." he said slightly laughing. "I like it."

"Where the hell were you? I didn't see you as I came out of the water." I asked as I turned to look at him.

"I had to take a phone call. I was standing over by the tree over there." he said pointing to a tree not far from us.

"Were you watching me the whole time?" I asked as I realized that he would have had a perfect view of everything. "Wait never mind, I do not wish to know. Lets go inside. I need another hot shower and to sleep."

Leo didn't reply as we walked to the house. I could feel his eyes on me the whole way. By the look of the smile on his face, he did see everything or at least enough.

Once we entered the house, I went straight up to my room. I said good night to Leo as I started to climb the stairs. He was going into the room where the closed french doors were. he waved and said good night as well. I rushed up the stairs as the doors closed. I decided to take a quick shower since I was getting very tired. After the shower was finished, I put on the biggest pair of sweats that I could find, which ended up being a black pair of sweats exactly like the ones Leo wore tonight. I put on a tank top and a pair of fuzzy socks for my freezing toes. I climbed into the bed and fell asleep as the warm and heavy blanket settled around me.

Once we reached inside, I darted straight for my in home study. My sister called me on the beach to inform me that she sent me a copy of Hannah's therapists records about her recovery and what happened to her. She informed me that she took out some of the records in which she felt that Hannah would like to keep private. When I asked her what they were about, all she said was that they were the in detailed stories about what happened to her.

My sister made sure to let me know that if I wanted to know what happened then I would have to ask Hannah because what happened to her was something that only she could tell me. She told me that I should focus on how quick Hannah's recovery was. At the end of the call, she told me that she will be in town next week and will be sitting don with Hannah on a one-on-one.

Now I find myself reading about how she accepted what happened to her fairly quick and how she was meeting new guys and having intimate relation with them, but never the same guy twice. The therapist expressed how much she did not agree with the coping mechanism but that she did not stop it since everyone heals in their own way.

After only four months after her therapy began, she didn't have to go back because as the lady stated, she was fine but she was going to have an unknown number of relapses in her mental health as many people did but she was a sound as any person her age.

I went to bed after reading the full report amazed at how strong Hannah truly was. I was sad to not be able to know what really happened to her since neither her mother or my sister were willing to tell me.
