"Alex dear, Dr. Ashley is here to see you" I hear Molly say through the door
I was laying down in my bed with my blanket covering my head. I had tissues lying around everywhere all wet from drying off my tears. Sniffing my nose, I push the blanket off of me and let out a groan. I didn't wanna wake up, I just wanted to sleep here forever. Well, I've been sitting in bed for god knows how long!
The door opens revealing a Doctor Ashley. I sit up and see him walk into my room. I stare at him for a second before I feel another tear slip down my left cheek. I look at him and feel more tears start to attack my eyes. "Dr. Ashley-" I start to cry again and bury my self with my blanket again.
He comes up to me and rubs my back as I continue to let out sobs. I feel my breathing getting heavier and heavier and my throat is closing in. All of a sudden, I see doctor Ashley pulling me up telling me to slow down my breathing. He was trying to calm me down. Everything seemed heightened around me. I tried to do what he was telling me and slowed down my breathing until I felt normal again.
After a few minutes, I feel better and Doctor Ashley lets out a sigh.
"Alex dear, you had a panic attack. You need to take it easy" he says and embraces me in a hug.
I'm not able to speak but instead, just stay there hugging Doctor Ashley. It felt comforting to have someone there. After a few minutes, he pulls away and looks at me
"Would you like to speak over some Tea?" He asks I only nod my head and we proceed down the stairs
He asks Molly for some tea while we take a seat outside on the patio. Looking out at the beautiful view, I feel a bit of a shiver due to the small wind.
"So tell me Alex, Molly has been telling me about your nightmares?" He asks
I wipe my nose and shift in my seat to face him. I was a bit more clam now
"Y-yes. At first, they were small nightmares and would only come once in a while but now, it gradually became worse and I have them every time I fall asleep. Molly is always waking me up from the nightmares" I say
He writes down in his little notebook and looks up to ask me "what's your state when you wake up, are you nauseous? Uneasy? Sweating?" He asks
"Uh I sweat a lot during the sleep, and uh, I cry a lot during the sleep.." I say with a quite.
He takes a minute to write this down. He then looks up at me again
"Do you mind explaining to me what the nightmares usually consist of?" He asks carefully
I look away from him not wanting to say this while looking at him for some reason.
"Th-e nightmares, uh they usually are about him." I say feeling tears start to build up again
I take a huge deep breath which steadies me.
"At first, the dream is sweet and happy. It's of him before the accident. Before his face was bandaged up which is weird because I never met or saw him before the plane accident. I had never seen his face before being bandaged up, Only pictures of him. Then he either turns crazy or I see something absurd and he starts choking me or trying to kill me" I say with goosebumps
After a minute, I add on "Everywhere I go, every room I enter, I can't get him out of my head. And for some reason, I can still hear that violin. I can still hear it!" I say with my voice getting louder, I sounded like a mad women
I turn to face Doctor Ashley immediately holding his hands "Why is this happening to me? Why can't I get him out of my head!" I yell with tears streaming down
He slowly gets loose of my grasp and gives my hand a slight squeeze.
"Alex dear, you are going through the stages of grief. It's not easy, to loose someone close to you. Even if he wasn't close, you still spent time with him. You took care of him when he needed it the most. It's hard. Even having to live here by yourself is hard. You don't go out. Only to work and back here. You need to get out a little and sense the real world. Know that other things exist besides hibernating in here." He says with his eyes getting a bit red.
I nod my head while sniffing my nose
He signs a paper and passes it to me "I want you to start taking these to help with the nightmares and anxiety" he says
He stands up and I as well "I will keep on checking in to see how your doing every week or so" he says
We walk back into the house and to the front door
"But please, take care of yourself. And go out my dear. Have fun. You can't be like this forever" he says holding my hand
"Thank you Dr. Ashley for everything" I say and give him a small smile
I close the door and plop myself on the sofa.
After letting out a puff of air, I walk into the kitchen to see Molly making something that smelled good. "Molly..." I say with a smile
"Alex dear, how can I help you" she asks with a smile
"I wanted to run out and grab these medication from a pharmacy. Can you ring up Gar-" and then I realize
"Gary resigned this morning.." I say to myself
Molly let's out a small laugh, "it's gonna get some getting use to him not being here" she says
"Ya" I say with a small laugh
"Alright then I'll just take the bus" I say grabbing my purse
She stops right in her tracks and turns to face me with a mad expression
"Your kidding me right?" She yells with a grip on her wooden spoon Wow, I've never seen Molly this mad
"What?" I ask confused
"Alex! There are more than 12 cars in that garage that haven't been used for more than 3 months! You haven't touched any of the money for your own self. You haven't used anything from the house and you won't even use the cars. I understand this is hard for you and that it feels wrong to use things that aren't yours but last time I checked, YOUR name is under all of these contracts and you own everything now. Now if you choose not to spend any money or use anything, it's your choice but I just think it's wrong to let things go to waste. Mr. Anderson wouldn't have married you and left you everything if he didn't want you to use them and put them to good use" she says and goes back to cooking.
This leaves me in awe. I've never heard Molly speak in this tone and never would have expected her to say these things to me. Ever.
But deep down, I knew she was right. Yes it's bad to use his things. But he isn't here anymore. Why am I letting the things rot and go to waste? I basically own everything now. No I won't abuse anything but, why not put them to good use?
This sparked a light in me. I wanted to look on the bright side from now on.
I exit the kitchen and walk towards the garage door. Opening the cabinet, I am greeted with a dozen set of car keys, all expensive ones. I grab the Rolls Royce set of keys and press the garage door to open.
Why not step into this new start...
