Dark night of the soul

Chapter 75

Sarah's POV
I wake up in the hospital bed and I see Jessica talking to the two policemen who arrested that asshole. "Hello mrs Paulson how are you feeling?" One of them asked when they noticed that I was awake. "I'm fine thank you" I say. "Is it okay if we ask you a few questions?" "Sure."
Once they had everything they needed they left and a doctor that I've never seen here before enters. "Hello Mrs Paulson I'm here to help" he says. He is tall and he looks like he's in his late 30s. He has brown hair and a short stubble. "I'm doctor Marren" he says and shakes my hand. (He's the doctor in the picture)
"And to must be Mrs Lange?" He turns to Jess. "Yes, nice to meet you doctor" she shakes his hand. "Likewise, it's nice to put a face to a voice" she smiles. What? Have they spoken before?
He comes down and sits in the chair next to me. "Well Mrs Paulson, I'm here to help you with your self harm, now I know that you've been helping yourself a lot, especially with beating anorexia, but as I've been told, you haven't been able to quite self harming. Now I would like to help you, but you can't get better if you don't help yourself. If you can't stop with us helping you, I'm afraid we will have to send you to a self-mutilation treatment centre" he explains.
I begin to feel sick. Why is Jess doing this to me? I hate the attention. Many thoughts are crowding my head. What do I say?
"Okay, uh, I'll try I guess" I say not looking at either of them. "Good" he says. "Well that's all for now, you will need to make regular appointments so we can check up on you and I will be giving you a prescription for anti-depressants" he says. He shakes both mine and Jessica's hands then leaves the room.
There is an awkward atmosphere to start with until Jess breaks the silence. "Sar, I did this for your own good" she says. "My own good? I could be put in rehab Jess, I've just had a child and there is a possibility that I will have to leave her." I can not explain how angry I am right now.
"Sarah, if you help yourself and let us help you, you won't need to go baby, please, think about Ava, think about Kai, I know you can do this, so can you just try? If not for me and if not for yourself, do it for your children" she pleads. "Fine" I say. I move over to one side of the bed. "Get in then" I sigh playfully. She hops in next to me and we sit there wrapped in each other's arms.
