THE THERAPIST {Ashton Irwin}

1 WEEK LATER

JESS' POV

I woke up to the sound of slow beeps.
I look to my left to see Ash sitting there with a huge teddy bear left he has hold of my hand gripping onto it. It was almost comforting.

"Ash" I jigged his hand.
He woke instantly.
"oh my God I thought I lost you" he gave me a hug that filled my body with lust.
"I saw him, Ash he was holding a baby a tiny baby it was crying, his burnt face was shining I've never seen it like that before." I explained.

"It's ok. I promise you it's ok" he cuddled me. I pulled him closer and kissed his lips.
"I've been waiting for that" he said.

"I've been waiting for my daughter to wake up to but clearly you've already poisoned her." My mother appeared in the doorway like the ice queen.

"What on earth are you talking about now?" I snap.
"Why didn't you tell me about you two." She bitched.
"You didn't need to know" I spat back.
" of course I do I'm your mother."
"OH YEAH A MOTHER. SOME MOTHER YOU ARE YOUR A DRUNK LIABILITY." I scream.

The nurse runs in and asks if I'm ok.
" Just get her out." I quietly say.
"If you do this. Your dead to me." She says.
"Well guess what mum. I'm already dead so don't worry."

Time passes and it's just silence.

"So how's my beautiful hoppy friend" I hear El's voice I instantly smile.
"Well hello stranger" I say back.
"Where's Kate?"
"Just parking the car"

She looked at Ashton for a few minutes.
"Hey therapy dude." She tries in her coolest voice.
"Ex therapy dude to you" he smirks.
She looks blankly at me.
"He quit his job." I plainly say.

"WHAT HAVE I MISSED!" I hear Kates loud mouth. As she fumbles in the door with 2 bags.

I look at El puzzled.
"Don't ask" she whispers
"Is this therapy dude" Kate asks.
"EX THERAPY DUDE FOR GOD SAKES KATE" all three of us say in unison.
"OK I get it no need to shout." We all laugh.

Kate starts to unpack her bags: fruit, magazines,chocolate, terrible dvds and a dvd player brand new.
The nurse came in she was blonde and was about 30.
"Miss Evans you are free to go after the doctor comes and brings you your medication" she informs.
"Is that OK?" She asks.
"NO wait, what medication?" I stammer.
"They stop you seeing what you see." She explained.

I burst into tears.
Everybody asked what's wrong.
"He's gonna be gone now forever" I wept into my hands. Ashton put his arm round me.
"NO" I screamed.
"I'm not taking them! I'm not giving up any chance to see him!" I yelled.

"Can you give us a minute" Ashton said to the nurse.
She nodded and left.
"Taking these pills don't mean your saying goodbye to him. He's always going to be here" he held my heart.
"Your his world and he's still yours. Nobody is gonna take him away. I promise ok princess." And he kissed my nose.

I wiped my eyes. Kate went to collect the nurse.
She came back she looked scared.
"It's ok. I'll take them I'm finally ready to let go." I smiled at her and she looked at me.
"You've matured so much I'm so proud of you."
She left the room.

"WAIT! WHAT DO YOU MEAN I'VE MATURED?!?!" ...... "HELLO!!" I tried to get up but collapsed to the floor.
I dragged myself to the corner and cried. Who was she? How did she know me?

I think it's time I opened my box....
