Blessings to Never Let You Go (Book 2 of the Mercy Forever Series)

Chapter 7 - Welcome Home

~January 31, 2015 – Promises Treatment Center – Jillian’s office

Jillian: Well, Nick, it’s been about two months since you were first admitted here. How do you feel?

Nick: I feel very enlightened and more at peace. I’m still worried about Selena and my son, but I’m even more concerned about my daughter.

Jillian: Again, I’m very sorry about Natalya.

Nick: I haven’t heard anything about who took her or where she is, so that’s obviously not making me feel any better.

Jillian: Well, at least you can focus on one thing today.

Nick: What’s that?

Jillian: Nick, you are an exceptional young man. I know how much you miss you family and the progress you have made here at Promises is amazing. Mark and I been talking with the board members and we all agree that you have completed your stay and you finally get to go home.

Nick: Are you serious? This is great!

Jillian: I’m glad to hear that.

Mark: *enters the room* Hey everyone, how’s it going in here?

Jillian: Just letting Nick know the good news.

Mark: Well, Nick, it’s really great to know that you are finally going home.

Nick: This is truly great. I mean, it kinda sucks that I’m no longer going to be seeing you guys anymore.

Mark: That’s not true. You always have the support of Promises at your side. And there’s a chance we’ll see you outside of the facility.

Jillian: If you ever want to just talk, there’s no shame in calling our personal numbers.

Nick: Thanks. I just wonder how Selena is going to take this.

Mark: Well, we still haven’t contacted her unless you would like us to.

Nick: Actually, I would like to just go back home and surprise her. And to also see my son..

Mark: I know about your daughter’s disappearance, Nick. I’m truly sorry to hear about that.

Nick: It’s okay. I’m still upset about it and I have every reason to believe that my ex-girlfriend kidnapped her.

Jillian: Why is that, Nick?

Nick: She made a threat claiming she would use one of my kids against me to break me and Selena apart. I didn’t want to believe she was serious when she took Natalya away.

Jillian: It seems that she herself is being threatened as well. Her threat was intentionally for you and to test how you would react. But why does she have against Selena?

Nick: Olivia became upset when I left her for Selena and she tried to break us apart months ago when Selena was pregnant with the twins. I don’t want her to hurt my daughter, but I have no idea what to do at this point.

Mark: Well, hopefully, the police might have some kind of lead and try to get your daughter back. But enough about this. Nick, I suggest you go back to your room and start packing. We’ll contact a car service and let you on your way.

Nick: Alright. Once again, thank you. I’m really grateful for being here and having you both help me through all of this.

Jillian: Same here, Nick. We hope for the best for you and your family.

Mark: We know you’re going to do great out there by yourself and as well with the support of your family.

Nick: *stands up and leaves the room, walking back to his room and packing his clothes into his suitcases*
