I Think We Need Counseling

Chapter 12

Molly's responses

1. Why are you so shy around people?

I have never been comfortable around people, live ones anyway. They are so un predictable, I never know what they will say or do, and I don't like offending them. So I stick to the corners and keep out of the way, if you haven't noticed I don't really have a lot of things in common with those who are alive!

2. Do you think I'm a bad person?

No. I disagree with some of the things you've done in the past but I don't think your a bad person! I believe that people can change, you have  changed... a lot! I mean it seems like it was only yesterday you were killing and now today you've stopped, mostly. 

3. What was your childhood like?

My childhood was pretty boring. I had a younger sister who I used to play with but she died of cancer when I was 12. She's the reason I work where I do. She got me interested in the dead. It's funny we were always the kind of people who just got along, and it scared the shit out of our parents. They were expecting us to beat each other up but we had already come to the conclusion that we should be inseparable. I was really depressed after she died and started to drift away from my friends till I was just another face in the yearbook, or that girl from chem. Anyway, I aced all my tests, was the teacher's pet in every class and would have been valedictorian if Sherlock hadn't been there.

4. Why did you take me back?

I took you back for 2 reasons;

1. I believe everyone deserves a second chance

2. you said you wouldn't hurt any of my friends.

5. Have you ever thought of having kids?

I have considered it. Honestly I don't know, it's not that I don't want them it's just that I doubt I would be able to be the mother they would need. Kids are a responsibility that I have never really thought about. I have no problem with having then, it's more that I just never thought I'd have to consider the possibility.

6. What did you want to be when you grew up?

At first I wanted to be a teacher because I loved my teacher's so much and thought their job looked like fun. Then I wanted to be a cop and catch bad guys, but I wasn't scary enough. Then when my sister Natalie died I decided that I wanted to do something with dead people. So I chose the job I have now, but with a bit more science than I had been expecting.

7. Do you know how t use a gun/protect yourself from people?

Yes and no. I work with Sherlock so I know how to use a gun and have used one but never in the sense that I could possibly have to protect myself with it. I am not very educated in means of defence but it is something I have considered learning.

8. Do you think your friends will ever forgive me?

Give them time. I think that one they begin to realize you really have changed that they will respect you a little more, but it's going to b very close to impossible for them to forgive you. Honestly I hope they will but we'll have to wait and see.

9. Did you love Sherlock?

Yes, I loved Sherlock. He was the only guy I saw for years on end. Maybe he didn't see me but I didn't care, it was a stupid childish fancy.

10. Will you marry me?

Yes Yes Yes a million times YES!
