Rose's pov

"Good morning, Sweetheart" Jack says, getting in the passenger side of the car.

"Good morning" I say yawning, and getting into the passenger side of the car.

"How did you sleep?" He asks and I shrug as he starts to drive away to the office.

Jack parks the car, and we walk in to the building, walking straight to Dr. Jacobs office.

We knock on the door, and I see her face smiling back at us immediately. She grabs my hand, bring my into the room and shutting the door.

"How are you?" She asks she I smile shruging my shoulders. She nods her head, guiding me to the couch.

"I'm just going to tell you from the gecko that we have some very important stuff to talk about today, is that okay?" She asks and I nod my head.

"Oh speaking of!" She says standing up from the couch and running into the next room, and grabing a plate of cookies.

"I made us cookies!" She smiles, placing them on the coffee table and I laugh.

"Thank you, Dr. Jacobs" I say, and she nods her head, with her clipboard in hand.

She writes a few things down while I take a cookie, and bite into it.

"Are you okay with me asking you questions about," She pauses to think for a moment, "you know, him" she says and I nod my head, eating a cookie.

"Are you aware of the damage that Jason has done as a criminal?" She says and I stop chewing for a second to think.

"Well, I mean" I pause for a moment, "Yes, I was aware of who he was but h-he made me forget about all of that" I whisper to her.

"What do you mean?" She asks and I put my cookie down on a  napkin.

"He usually didn't act any different a regular person in front of me" I shrug, "I guess he played that role good" I sigh.

"On the criminal bases website Jason is linked in some way to 542 people being murded total, and 917 injured" she whispers

I let out a low gasp a thinking about all of the souls that could have still been alive today that he killed.

My jaw clenched a little bit, and I simply nod my head in response to her.

"I d-didn't know it was that many people" I stutter and she nods her head, continuing to write.

"Did he ever tell you any of his plans?" She asks and I shake my head no.

"He never brought it up, and if I would ask he would get mad about it" I say as she stares at me.

"Did he yell at you a lot?" She asks and I nod my head yes.

"Most of it was my fault though" I shrug, and she looks up from her clipboard.

"Why do you think that?" She asks, staring deep into my eyes.

"I would always disobey him, and ask him when I could go home a lot. He would blow up if I asked to leave" I look at the floor.

"Sweetie, you that's not your fault. He was holding you captive. You are not required to obey him" she says, and I nod my head.

"Do you ever miss Jason?" She asks, and I take a deep breath.

"I used to, I mean- he was the only thing I ever knew" I say, and she nods her head.

"How did it go?" Jack says as we get into the car, and I nod my head.

"I can really see you getting better, Rose" He says, and I smile nodding my head.

"Thank you, Jack" I smile up at him while we walk out of the building, "I really could have done all of this without you" I say looking down at the ground.

"Aww, get over here sweetie" he says, pulling me into a hug, and carrying me on his hip to the car.

He puts me into the passenger seat, walking around the the drivers seat. He starts the car, turning the radio on.

"Your house?" He asks, and I shrug my shoulders, nodding my head. He starts driving down the road.

"Do you wanna come over my house tomorrow for your day off?" He whispers and I look over at him.

"I'll take off of work, and I'll make plans at that Italian place you like?" He says shyly

"I'd love that, Jack" I say as he holds his right hand out for me, and I grab it interlocking our fingers.

I place our hands on my thigh, and stare out the window as Jack drives.

Jack really likes me, like likes me. Do I like, like him back? I mean he is always so nice to me. He treats me like a princess.

But so did Ja- I need to stop thinking about him. He is gone, I need to live my life.

Dr. Jacobs said I will never get over him if I compare him to everyone.

I need to completely stop thinking about him. I will stop as soon as the court date is done.

"I'll see you tomorrow, okay?" Jack says as he pulls up to the front of my house.

I nod my head, and before I know it i am leaning over and pulling him Jack into a hug.

I feel him smile into my neck as he rubs my back. I pull away and kneel on my seat facing him.

"Is like two okay? I'll come and pick you up?" He says and I nod my head like a kid.

"I can't wait" I smile as we say our last goodbyes and I get out of the car.

I walk up to the front door, seeing it is unlocked and walking straight in. I look around for a minute seeing no one.

"Is anyone home?" I yell, walking into the kitchen and putting my bag on the counter.

"Hello" I yell a little louder getting no answer again.

I guess they are at work. I walk up the stairs and open my bedroom door.

I look around at my clothes on the floor everywhere, and my eyes widen. I see my mom on the bed crying and my dad on the floor with something in his hand.

"What is this, Rose" He spits in almost a whisper as I look down at the paper in his hands.

I walk over to him, and grab it, seeing my birthday letter in his hands.

My throat goes dry, as my dad standing up towering over my small body.

"What the fuck is this, Rose" He yells in my face. I grab it from his hands, and fold it in mine.

"W-why would y-you go through my s-stuff like that-" I start, as he pushes me back, and I hear my mom's crying become louder.

"You're still talking to him?" He yells, pushing me onto the floor, and my eyes close tightly as tears start to fall.

"You're still fucking him, you little slut!" He yells kicks me in the face and then in the stomach.

He kicks me a few more times until I am coughing up blood, and I look up at my mom not knowing what to do.

I place my head down on the floor, thinking about my life. I hear my dad walk out of the room, and my mom run after him.

I lay in a puddle of my own blood and tears for what feels like two hours, until I cry myself to sleep.
