"Mirror Image"

By: GEM

"Jenny…Jenny!" Leo called his wife's name as he came out of the bathroom. He walked over and sat on the side of the bed. He bent down and kissed her gently "Jenny."

Jenny rolled over and faced her husband. "What?" she asked still half asleep.

"It's time to get up love. You're gonna be late for work."

"Oh, no it's morning already?" She asked still fighting off sleep.

Yeah, hard to believe huh?" Leo said as he bent down and kissed her again. "I have a meeting to go to. I'll see you tonight."

"Remember to call me if you're gonna be late." She said as she walked into the bathroom.

"Yeah, I will I love you." Leo said as he walked out of the room.

"Love you too." Jenny yelled from the bathroom. She turned and looked at herself in the mirror. When she heard the front door close she opened the medicine cabinet, pulled out a bottle of pills, and filled a glass of water. She swallowed the pills and got ready for work. Her leg was better now. She was back to work, but only see a limited number of patients.

"Good Morning Leo." Margaret said as Leo walked through the outer office.

"Good Morning Margaret." He said cheerfully as he entered his office.

Leo seemed a lot happier to Margaret since he and Jenny had gotten back together but she could tell something was bothering him today. She followed him into the office schedule in hand. Leo was looking through some papers on his desk when she walked in.

"You have staff in fifteen minutes."

"Thank you. He replied finally finding what he was looking for.

"Leo, Are you okay?"

Leo looked up from the schedule that Margaret handed him. "I'm fine."

"Okay." She said as she walked back to her desk.

Leo sat down and began to read one of the many reports that were on his desk. The truth was he wasn't okay. He was scared to death. This morning when he woke Jenny up and looked into her eyes he had seen something he hadn't seen in a longtime, and hoped he would never see again-distance. She was distant, out of touch, like he was six years ago. So many questions ran through his mind at this moment: Was he right? If he was right, why would she do this? Would he have the strength to help her? Could he face this from the other side- as the loved one not the addict?

Stop this you don't know for sure. He thought to himself.

"Good morning Melissa." Jenny said as she walked in the office door.

"Good morning Dr. McGarry. Melissa said as she handed Jenny the schedule for the day.

"Who's on call at the hospital today, Mel?"

"Jeff."

"Okay that's good. I'll be in my office let me know when my first appointment gets here." Jenny said as she walked back towards her office.

"Okay." Melissa replied as the phone rang. Jenny stopped to see if she was needed before heading back to her office. "Dr. McGarry's office. Melissa speaking. How may I help you? Yes she is. Yes, hold on please. Jenny your husband is on the phone."

Jenny looked back at the young woman behind the desk. "Tell him I'm not here yet."

"I just told you were here. The young woman replied apologetically.

Jenny sighed and finally decided to take the call "I'll take it in my office."

She entered her office, closed the door, walked over behind the desk and picked up the phone. "Hello."

"Hi sweetheart."

"Hi what do you need Leo?"

"I don't need anything. I was just calling to check on you."

"Well thanks honey but don't you have a country to run or something? She said with a hint of sarcasm in her voice, while she looked for a bottle of pill she had stashed in her desk.

"Whoa, Where did that come from?"

"What?" Jenny asked.

"Jenny are you okay? This just doesn't seem like you."

"I'm fine Leo." Jenny said into the phone while she opened a bottle of pills, poured a glass of water, and swallowed a hand full.

"How about lunch?" He asked.

"Leo, I have been out of work for five months. I have patients to see and things to do.

"Okay, then I'll see you home."

"Okay."

"I love you Jenny."

"I love you too, Leo."

"Leo…Leo"

"What?"

"Have you heard anything I've said." The President asked.

"Yes Sir."

"What did I just say?"

"To be honest sir, I really haven't been paying attention."

"I've noticed." Jed replied as he encouraged his friend to talk. Leo took note of the look and gave in.

"Jed."

Now the President knew that something was bothering Leo. He rarely called him by his first name and now he just had. "What's on your mind, Leo?"

Leo buried his head in his hands, took a deep breath and then looked up at his friend with concern written on his face. "Jenny." He replied softly.

"Jenny?" Jed asked again looking at his friend. Jed was under the impression that everything was going well between them the second time around.

Leo continued with the same look on his face. "She's changed Jed. She isn't talking to me. We used to have such an open relationship; we would talk to each other about anything. Now frankly she is scaring me. She is distant.

"May be she is just getting used to being back together?" Jed suggested trying to reassure his friend.

"No it's different. Remember when I was using how introverted I was, how withdrawn? That how she has been acting lately.

Jed looked at his friend in shock. Leo are you telling me that you think Jenny has a drug problem?"

Honestly, I have been afraid to say it, but there is something going on with her." Leo got up out of the chair and began to pace around the room. "She on prescription pain killers, so it's possible. I just don't want to believe it." Leo stopped pacing and looked back at Jed, confusion and pain written all over his face. "What should I do? I don't want to drive her away not if she is going through what I think she is. She needs my help I won't let her do it alone. I want to be there. I need to help."

"Talk to her, Leo."

"She won't listen."

"Then you have to make her listen. Leo you have been through this before on this other side you know how she feels. You love her. I know you do. She may need help but she may not want it or she may want help and is just to embarrassed to ask."

Leo smiled at his friend and walked quickly to his door "Excuse me sir. I have someone I need to talk to." Jed nodded as Leo walked out of his office and out of the West Wing.
