Ezra's Depression

Chapter 8

Kanan's p.o.v

The door open automatically as we walked in. Me, Hera and Ezra looked around in awe as we took in the picture in front of us. Men and women dressed in white were talking or playing with children of all ages.

"Welcome" A woman said as she walked towards us.

"How can I help you?" she asked with a big smile.

"Um, can you take us to the office?" Hera asked kindly.

"Why, of course!" she said and motion for us to follow.

I placed my arm around Ezra's shoulders side hugging him. I smiled as I felt him lean on me. I looked through the force and my smile turned to a frown. I felt a huge amount of mental pain and exhaustion radiate from him.
I sighed and it didn't go unnoticed from Ezra. As he realized what I was doing he quickly raised up his mental shields and shook my arm away walking a little faster.

I silently scolded my self as we reached the office. The nurse pressed the code and the door open. We walked in to see a man sitting on an old desk made of wood. It was rather odd to not have a last technology desk. Ever since Skylar System was founded most of old technology stuff were thrown away.

"Good evening! I'm doctor Lee. How can I help you?"

"We are here fo-"

"Is this Ezra Bridger?" Doctor Lee said with a knowing smile. I felt odd as I moved in front of Ezra protectively. I felt Ezra taking my hand and Hera moving a little closer to Ezra.

"Oh, I'm sorry for my rude manners but, Lothal's Local Hospital, where you were hospitalized after your accident sent me your full medical record. I was actually expecting you"

We all calmed down a little but, something in me was screaming to get my girlfriend and child out of here. I shook it off as I thought it was just the fact that I did not want to loose Ezra for such a big amount of time.

"I have already prepared a room and specialized doctors just for you" Doctor Lee continued.

"Wait a sec" I said still feeling off.
"I told the doc in the hospital that I would not send Ezra on a Mental Hospital. How did you know I would change my mind?"

"I did not. But, it is part of our regulations. After accidents like that, the hospital communicates with all the mental hospitals. Most of them just wait for people to show up before any preparations but, our hospital makes sure to have everything prepared. When things like that happen to young children we do not want to spend any precious time. So we prepare everything and if no one shows up for a month we going be he's place to someone else" Doctor Lee explained.

"So, what happens now?" Hera asked.
"I mean, we thought we had some time before we leave him. We haven't even packed his things yet. He need warm clothes...a-and a blanket...and h-his t-toothbrush" Hera started sobbing when she realized that we would have to leave Ezra today. Ezra whimpered hugging her and she hugged him back holding on for dear life. I let some tears of my own joining the hug.

Doctor Lee cleared his throat interrupting us, much to my dislike.

"You do not have to worry, we will provide Ezra with everything he needs"

Hera leaned over me and I hold on her and Ezra.

"When are the visiting hours?" I asked squeezing Ezra a little more to me.

"Oh, I am afraid you won't be able to visit" Doctor Lee said with a small smile.

"WHAT?!" Me and Hera yelped in unison.

"Yeah, it is part of the therapy. Ezra will have to conquer all of his inner demons alone" Doctor Lee said.

"But, but..." Hera tried to say, her voice shaking.

"I have to do it" Ezra who had kept silent the whole time stepped in front of us smiling small.

"I have to do this. Then we can be a family again. A family that does not live in pain because of one of its members" Ezra said looking.

"Ezra, if you don't want to-"

"No Kanan you don't get it! I feel like if I'm not hurting my self, I'm hurting everyone around and I don't want to anymore! I want to be happy! I want the next time you'll feel my feelings through the force to be happy ones!Please?" Ezra said with tears forming on his eyes. Me and Hera nodded and not able to stop the tears I looked up at the doctor.

"Sing him up" I said feeling my heart breaking apart the moment those three word left my mouth.

Yay! Another chapter! I have noticed that lately not a lot of people are reading my stories.
