My patient. ~Irwin~ My therapist Sequel

15. Shit happens.

Ashton

Me and Lia walk up to her door and she stops turning towards me.

"Its been so nice." She smiles. "Just you and me." She wraps her arms around my neck.

"I wish it was just you and me all the time." I tell her while kissing her forehead.

''It could be.'' She says and kisses me.

''Lets get inside, it looks like its going to rain.'' I smile looking out onto the front garden.

''Way to ruin the moment.'' She scrunches up her nose.

''Yeah I know.'' I grin walking in.

"How about we just chill watching Netflix?" She suggests and walks up the stairs.

"Sounds like a plan." I nod following her.

...

"Ashton." Lia wakes me. "Ashton, its like 3 in the morning and someone is downstairs knocking on the door." She tells me.

"Why dont you get it?" I groan pulling the covers over my head.

"Its 3 AM. I could get raped." She protests.

"Ugh." I slid out of bed. "C'mon, we'll get it together." I smile at her.

"Nuh uh." She shakes her head standing up.

"Lia, If I go down, you are coming with me." I smirk. "Plus its 3Am, its pouring down with rain, whats the worst that could happen?" I grab hold of her hand and squeeze it gently.

"Should I get a frying pan just in case?" She suggests.

"For what?" I glare at her confused. "To ask whoever is outside if they want some eggs and bacon?"

"Yeah." She shrugs.

Theres a knock again and Lia clings onto my arm as we walk down her narrow stairs.

"Its probably just a neighbour." I tell her and watch her grab an umbrella. "Seriously?"

"Dont seriously me, open the door." She orders.

I gulp looking at the door and it shakes with the knock going off again.

I sigh unlocking it and then pulling the door open. A gust of wind hits my face with rain drops, making Lia hide behind me.

I turn on the light to see who is outside. Its Olivia, socking wet, with a suitcase.

"Lia." I say looking at Olivia.

"What?" They both say at the same time.

"I meant you." I pull Lia from behind me. "Get some dry towels." I tell her and she frowns looking at me but nods walking off.

"I'm so sorry." Olivia sobs. "I didnt know where to go." She walks towards me and I try dodging her embrace but she just kind of falls into my arms.

"Shh." I say rubbing her back. "Come in and talk to me." I pull out of her embrace and close the door behind her, I put her hand by the stairs and sigh walking in front of her into the living room.

"Ashton." Lia calls me from the hallway.

I walk towards her and sigh. "Thanks." I half smile taking the towels from her.

"I have no idea who she is but I got her some warm pyjamas." She hands me the pyjamas.

"You should give them to her." I tell her while handing them back to her. "She is one of my patients, having a hard time." I say.

"Sure." She frowns nodding and walks into the living room with me.

"Olivia." I say plopping down next to her. "Heres some towels." I pass them to her.

"I have some pyjamas for you." Lia looks at Olivia and meets her gaze instantly smiling.

"Thank you." She smiles wiping her face with the towel.

"You can stay in my guest room, Ashton will show you where it is. Good night." Lia says awkwardly smiling and walks off.

"We can talk about this in the morning." I tell her smiling.

"Thanks." She says standing up. "Thank you so so much." She sobs again.

"Dont worry, come on, lets get you to the room." I show her the way.
