Dark night of the soul

Chapter 17

Jessicas POV
"Miss Lange?" He asks "yes" I reply, "Sarah is in a stable position at the moment, she will need to stay in for about a week or two as she is suicidal and we will need to keep an eye on her. Melissa Johnson a counsellor would like to speak to you and Sarah, she's in her office now if you wouldn't mind going in and answering a few questions" he says "of course, where is her room?" I ask and he escorts me to her office. I knock on the door and upon entry I find a middle aged woman sitting at a desk wearing jeans and a jumper, I wouldn't really expect her to be wearing something smart I mean it's like 3am. Her brown hair is tied back, and she has dark blue glasses on, and she was quite attractive. She looks up, and greets me with a polite smile, and gestures me to sit down. "Hello miss Lange, would it be okay if I asked you some questions about your wife?" She asks "of course, and please, call me Jessica or Jess if you wish" I return her smile. "So, has Sarah shown any signs of depression lately?" "Well yes, and I was talking to her only a few hours ago about getting her help, she's not been eating, she's been self harming, and she's just not as cheerful and happy as she used to be before what happened..." "What happened to her?" "She was raped one night, and after that, whoever raped her broke one of her ribs after repeatedly kicking her." "Right" she says writing a few notes down. "Also, if I may add, she looks anorexic, and I'm really worried about her" I say and one year escapes my eye, rolling down my cheek. She nods and writes something else down. "Okay miss Lange thank you for your time" she says and I take that as my que to leave.
