Butterfly Effect

2 Am

"Thank you doctor for seeing me at this time of night." I said as I stepped into his office. He shut the door behind me walk to cabinet holder and said.

"It's quite okay Christopher you sounded quite distressed on the phone and with all the recent events that have been happening I didn't want you doing something you'd regret." I sat down in a very uncomfortable and ugly chair but at this time in the morning I couldn't be very judgmental. "So Christopher what is it that's troubling you so much, are you still on your medication?" He asked while reading over some of my files. I grabbed a bottle of pills out of my pocket and rattled them around. "Yep." He sat down at his desk in front of me and looked at me with concern. "Doctor this is going sound strange but someone visited me last night someone I though was dead." I explained, he wrote something down and then flipped over some pages and read some other things from previous sessions.

"Ah yes, you told me that your old friend Emily who was with you that night on the mountain killed herself a few months back and she's appeared in some dreams." I shook my head, "Oh someone else? Jessica or maybe Michael?" He added in confusion still writing stuff down.

"No, it wasn't any of them. It was Josh." He looked at me, he didn't even write this down.

"Joshua, the one who invited you up to the mountain?" He asked, putting everything down and to the side.

"Yeah, he came to my apartment yesterday around midnight and he just stood there." I explained as he looked at me with greater concern, He took a breath before saying

"Did he say anything to you or about you?" My doctor asked, I shook my head once more and then answered

"He asked about Sam and how she was doing. But once I told him, he just vanished. Like a ghost." The doctor got up once more and grabbed a different file, I tried to read what was in it but my damn eyesight wasn't good enough. "I know Joshua's therapist Dr Alan Hill, Dr Hill would have told me if he was alive but there's been no visit recorded since four months ago." He explained, he then put the file down and asked me. "You said he asked about Sam, isn't she one who's pregnant?" I nodded my head and he continued. "Yes, so tell me how close Samantha and Joshua were." I couldn't help let out a tiny laugh which I covered as a throat tickle, it was just so funny how he always said their full name. "Well Sam was Hannah's best friend and when Hannah and Beth went missing Josh would tell Sam how he felt, I don't think it was romantic although they did have their moments." I explained as he went back to writing stuff down.

"So if Joshua and Samantha weren't a couple or romantic whose baby is Samantha carrying?" He asked. Shit.

That was a very good question, Sam would have told me if she and Josh were 'together' wouldn't she? "Um, I don't know, she doesn't really talk to me about that stuff." I lied, Sam told me about everything and I mean everything. "So is there anything else that you want to talk about maybe Ashley?" He asked raising an eyebrow. I didn't want to talk about Ashley hell I didn't even want to think about her.

"No... No." I said and once again he wrote it down. "I think I'm good thank you so much for seeing me." I quickly checked my phone it was 2:15 AM.

"It is quite alright, I'm here if you ever need to talk." We both got up and shook hands. I quickly left the building and instead of going home I went straight to Sam's place, I need to find out who the daddy is.
