At the hospital I had a sitter with me at all times. After refusing to pee for a urinary analysis they admitted me to the oncology floor, wanting to run some test. Aaon stayed with me the whole time, his hand in mine we waited for the results of the tests.
"All your test look normal" the doctor said coming in to go over the results.
"Thank goodness" Aaron said and gently squeezed my hand.
"Then what's wrong with me?" I asked the doctor confused.
"Nothing physically. We're referring you to a psychiatrist to go home with" He said
Aaron thanked the doctor and he left, leaving me to get ready to leave the hospital. I tucked away into the bathroom stall to get ready, taking off my hospital gown, and putting back on my pajamas I came to the hospital in. Aaron knocked on the door, as I was putting on my pants.
"You ok in there?" He asked
I rolled my eyes "just putting on my pants" I called back.
"Look I know your still mad at me, but let me be there for you. Let me take you to that appointment. I want to take care of you." He said
I opened the door then, fully ready to go.
"Aaron I don't think that's such a good idea." I said, crazy or not I wasn't going to rely on a cheater.
"Why not?" He asked, concern on his face.
"Bacause I don't know where I stand with you. And relying on you right now while I need help is the last healthy thing for our relationship." I said
Aaron looked dejected, his arms going slack at his sides, I stood at the entrance of the bathroom waiting on his reply.
"Look I know I fucked up Cass but let me prove to you how much you mean to me. Let me be there for you." He said now pleading
"I'll think about it." I said and started to make my way out of the room. Aaron hurried after me, closing the door behind him.
"I'm coming for you tonight" Michel said into my mind but I ignored him.
Continuing our way out the building we made it to the parking lot, getting into Aaron's truck, we started heading home. The drive was quite, and short lived as we quickly made it home.
"I'm going to bed" I said going through the kitchen and up the stairs. "And Aaron I think it's best to make sleeping alone a permanent thing for now"
"Anything you need" He said, peering up at me from the bottom of the stairs.
I stood there for a moment and watched him, our eyes locked, before turning away and heading to the guest bedroom. Once inside I locked the door, not ready to have anymore conversations with him tonight. My head was pounding as I lay there on my bed, eyes closed, I slowly inhaled and exhaled. Michel said he was coming for me tonight, but he also said he was coming for me yesterday. I really thought I was crazy almost all the evidence pointing to that one conclusion.
"When are you getting me and what happened to the other vampire?" I asked into the void of my own mind.
"I'll tell you on the drive." He said
"And you think I'll just go with you?" I asked a smirk coming to my face. 
"You have to. That vampire won't just disappear." He said
I sat up in the bed again "if he was coming for me still wouldn't he be in my house right now?" I asked
"I scared him off for now but he'll be back." Michel growled. "Your coming with me Whether you like it or not."
I layed back down in bed, considering his words. What did I have to loose if I didn't go with him? Possibly my life. What did I have to loose if I did go with him? A broken marriage, rhe love of my life Aaron. I was going to loose him anyways, I knew I could never trust him again. Not after that big of a betrayal. I yawned into my comforter.
"Ok Michel I'll see you tonight." I called with my mind.
"Cassie" He called "wear something comfortable."

It was dark outside when I woke up, getting up and opening the blinds I peered up at the moon.
"Your awake" Michel called into my mind.
"And your still not here" I called back
It was silent then michel not answering me I pad out of the room, down to the kitchen to make myself a snack. There was nothing in the fridge except stuff to make a sandwich. My stomach grumbling as much as I was, I go for my only option, getting out the bread and sandwich meat.
"Your up" Aaron called from the top of the stairs, quickly coming down then to join me.
"Just now" I answer back still making my sandwich.
"I got you something" Aaron says and I roll my eyes.
How many times have I told him we're broke, that we can't afford anything. As if buying more things could solve our issues. I wait patently as he pulls out a little peice of paper.
"It's lot tickets to go camping this weekend, we can take the new boat out. Have a weekend with just the two of us. Spend some quality time together." He says proudly.
I take the papers from his hand, looking over the content. Indeed it was reservations for my favorite camping grounds, I sigh as I finished looking over them. I qas going to do it, I was going to say it.
"Aaon we don't have money..." I started but he hushed me.
"I had a little extra money on the side" He says "picked up some extra shifts"
I cringe, thinking of Aaron working with Emily more. Everything he was doing was wrong, wrong, wrong.
"Do you really think working more with Emily is going to make me happy?" I asked fury engulfing me.
Aaron grabs hold of my hand then "look Cass the extra shifts are done with. I can switch to the evening shift so I never see her again. Hell I can get anew job if it means we'll work things out." He said pleading in his eyes.
"I don't want to talk about this today." I answer back coldly and pick back up my sandwich, taking a bite.
Aaron looked defeated at that "ok Cass" he said and turned to leave me alone.
"Walk outside now" Michel said into my mind. I obeyed walking outside, out my kitchen and to the front driveway.
"Now down the street I'm waiting at the end." He said
"What kind of car?" I asked
"The mercedes" He answered back
"That doesn't help me" I answer back now making my way down the dark and lonely street. Aaron came running out of the house then.
"Cassie!" He called
"Get rid of him." Michel said into my mind
"I'm just going on a walk I'll be back!" I called but Aaron jogged up to me.
"Are you sure your not having another episode?" He asked worry on his face when he reached me.
"I'm perfectly fine" I answered back "am I not aloud to take walks now?" I say definitively.
"Of course you are love I'm just worried" He said
"Don't call me that" I say anger rising again.
"Ok" Aaron said hurt "do you want me to join you?" He asked suddenly.
No. Never.
"Not today" I answer back a little gentler this time.
He smiles and turns back around to go back inside the house, while I continue my way forward.
