[Jaime's POV]

"Wait what?!" Tony said, shooting up.

"I'm sorry, but Avery has developed schizophrenia, and self harmed and attempted suicide, as well as the scars on her arms. She may need to spend a maximum of 2 months in the psychiatric hospital in order to help her," the doctor said. "Its a choice, but its most recommend you agree, for her sake," he said.

Tony looked back at Avie, tears streaming down his face.

"Is the hospital safe?? She was nearly raped at one in her hometown," Vic said sternly.

"Yes, of course. Pasadena Psychiatric Hospital is the most safest in the state," the doctor said.

We were all quiet, before Mike spoke.

"Can you give us sometime to think about it?" he asked.

"Just call when you've decided," the doctor said, then left us.

Matt fell to the seat and buried his head in his hands, Macy patting his back.

"Well, what then??" Vic asked.

"I don't want to let her go," Tony cried in a whisper. "She'll be terrified."

"Its for her own good, Tony. If we refuse, she could keep doing what she did. Alex even had a panic attack," Mike said.

"She could probably even hurt one of us," Macy said. "It'll only be for 2 months."

He just held her arm and sighed.

"How will we tell her?" he asked.

"Calmly," Vic said.

"Then its settled. Its going to hurt us, but its for her own good," Macy said.

We called the doctor in.

"Well, have you all decided?" he asked as we all stepped out.

I sigh and look at Vic and Mike, since they're Avie's adopted family.

"Where do I sign?" he asked.

Vic and Mike signed the papers and I decided to walk in to check on Avie. As soon as I entered, I hear whimpering.

I look and see Avie was curled into a ball, shaking.

I ran up and placed a hand carefully on her shoulder.

"Avie?? Avie, take to me, sweetie," I said.

She looked up from behind her hands, tears streaming down her eyes.

"I-I'm so sorry," she cried.

I sigh and pull her into my arms, giving her a hug.

"Shhh, its going to be okay," I said, rubbing her back.

She cried into my chest as I held her.

"Tony never cheated, d-did he??" she sobbed.

"He's never done such a thing, and never will," I said.

She cried hard. "God, I'm so stupid. What have I done??"

Everyone then walked in and saw what was going on.

Tony stepped up up, tears still falling.

Avie choked on a cry as Tony ran up and Avie threw her arms around him, burying her face into his shoulder.

"I'm so sorry, Tony. I'm so so so so sorry!!!" she sobbed in a muffled voice.

Tony just cried as he held her and I stood up to give them space.

"Its okay, Avie. Its okay," he said, holding her like he never wanted to let her go.

Its going to be so hard seeing them separated for so long.
