Chris POV:

The next morning I wake up to a text message from Jade. It's 8am why is she awake? She never gets up before 1pm, but I still check it though.

From Jade: Hiya I called Dr. Ritchie. She has an appointment at 9.

From Chris: Oof thank you Jade you didn't have to do this🥺

From Jade: Well I know taking Jesy there will be quite an effort so that's the least I can do😔

From Chris: Thanks Jade. I'll let yous know how it went

I shut down my phone and decide to get back to sleep but then I remembered that I had to get Jesy ready in time. Thinking of her, I hear the door of our bedroom open and little footsteps heading downstairs. I kept debating whether I shall head down or not. I close my eyes again as I hear a loud crash coming from downstairs. I shoot up and burst through the door, stumbling downstairs. In the kitchen I see Jesy surrounded by smashed glass. She sees me and I see her clench her fists „Jes?" „What is this Chris? WHAT IS THIS?" she throws a little note at me. Fuck that's where I left my little note, to remember myself to call Dr. Ritchie. „SO YOU'RE NOT GONNA ANSWER HUH? WHY ARE YOU DOING THINGS BEHIND MY BACK NOT EVEN BOTHERING TO CARE IF I WANT IT OR NOT? HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN PLANNING THIS? YOU WANNA PUT ME BACK IN THE MADHOUSE SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO DEAL WITH ME? IS THAT TRUE?" „Jes please calm down. I want to help you." „So you wanna help me? Then do it by leaving me alone and minding your own business! How about that?" „Jes you really need help, can't you see how miserable you are?" she raises her eyebrows „Miserable? Oh...I see how it is Chris..." I look at the time at realise I have to get us ready. „Listen Jes. We can do it in two ways. Either you make it easier for us both and cooperate with me or I'll have to treat you like a little kid." she stays put so I take her hand and as she pulls away I pick her up and carry her into the bathroom. She keeps kicking around „You're so getting this back! I hate you! I fucking hate you!" I sit her down on the toilet seat and prepare her toothbrush „Open." she shakes her head so I carefully open her mouth and put the brush in. She huffs and starts brushing her teeth as I quickly brush mine. She finishes, gets up and tries to run away. I catch her immediately and pick her up again. She slept in her hoodie and some shorts...yea that'll do it. I take the keys and hurry downstairs and plop her in the car, fastening her seatbelt „I fucking hate you." I ignore it and get next to her, immediately starting to drive because we're running out of time. We reach the building and she grunts „I fuckin not go back in there." „You do Jes now come on." I get out and as she makes no effort in getting out as well, I sigh and decide to take her out. This time she lets me and I let her down infront of the building, grabbing her hand tightly. We enter and the receptionist immediately recognizes us „Aaah Miss Nelson! Dr. Ritchie will be there any minute so please take a seat." We sit down, but she sits down on the opposite of me, glaring madly. I sigh. It's only for her best. Dr. Ritchie comes around the corner, her brown hair in a bun, looking friendly at us „Miss Nelson nice to see you again, you too Mister Hughes." Jesy rolls her eyes and huffs „Well uh thank you for taking time and squeezing us in between." she nods friendly, gesturing to her opened office door „Please come in Miss Nelson." I watch her get up and she shoots me yet another death glare before heading inside. Nervously I fiddle with my keys as my phone buzzes.

From Jade: Hey how did it go?

From Chris: Ugh horrible... I literally had to drag her here and now have to earn her death glares and I hate you's...

From Jade: God Jesy really changed badly and I'm glad you got her there.

From Chris: But it was torture tho and I still feel so sorry for her cause deep down I know she hates to snap at us and push us away. That's only a protection mechanism of her.

From Jade: Hm ye...well let me know as soon as you know something new okay? We're always there for you!

From Chris: Thank you Jade

About half hour later, the door opens and Jesy steps out not even bothering to look at me. She falls down on the chair in front of me and a concerned Dr. Ritchie looks around the corner „Mister Hughes? May I talk to you for a sec?" I look first at Jesy then at her before nodding and making my way inside, closing the door behind me „Have a seat please." I sit down and she looks down at her notepad, puts down her glasses and looks at me, furrowing her eyebrows „Well..."
