“Don’t worry Christopher everything will be all right”. Criss said nothing as he turned his head to a window. That afternoon they took Criss to the operating room to have the metal rods and stuff taking out and have his legs put into casts. At the hotel Costa was walking around with George as Dimitra and JD came back. “How Criss doing?”George inquired. “Honestly I think he’s depressed and wants this whole thing to be a bad dream” JD remarked. “Believe me we all wish it was a nightmare JD” Costa replied. “Well the good news is they took the metal out of Christopher’s legs bad news he has to have his legs in casts” Dimitra stated. “Criss must of loved that” George muttered. “Well at least he’ll be a little bit more mobile and the doctor said we could take him outside tomorrow if the weather’s good” JD added. “I just finish talking to Dave he wanted to know how Criss was so I filled him in as best I could”.

“I talked to Elizabeth last night every news station including CNN has been talking about what happened to Criss. Even the mayor of Las Vegas wants to pass a law that people like the guy who assaulted Criss should be put in jail until they take their medication” Costa replied. “Well some people have got to remember people that are mentally impaired are on their medication for a while they feel like they don’t need it so they stop taking it than they lose it so to speak” JD stated. Around two at night the Dimitra's phone rang so she picked it up.

“Hello” she stated. “Hey mom”. “Christopher why are you calling me so late” she asked looking at the time. “Because I’m afraid to go to sleep. Afraid I’m going to have my nightmare again” as tears fell down Criss’s face. “Christopher I want you to get comfortable as you can”Dimitra remarked. Even thou he wanted his bed at his home Criss got himself comfortable. “All right mom I’m as comfortable as I can get”Criss said. Dimitra started to sing and Criss remembered the song from his child hood his mother would sing to him and his brothers when they had nightmares as little kids. After a few minutes Criss started to yawn. “Now I want you to hang up and go to sleep. I’ll see you in the morning” and she hung up. Criss hung up too and fell asleep.
