"You've done well today Beca. Now before we finish let's try one more time." Doctor May said as she held out her hand towards Beca. "You can do this, just focus" Beca nodded and slightly lifted her arm to put her hand onto the doctors. With every ounce of strength she had she tried so hard to hold onto the doctors hand, but nothing was working. There was nothing happening, she couldn't feel the sensation of skin on skin contact and her hands were numb and limp. Letting out an angry sigh Beca muttered "G-G-God d-damn it" as her hand slipped off of the doctors and her arm fell back into resting position. "Don't worry about it Beca, we will try again next time, these things take time. You've come on so far already, just keep practising what we've spoke about and hopefully in time your arm will be back to how it was before the accident okay?" Beca only looked in response, her eyes full of defeat she slumped into the chair. Her arm was put back in it's sling and was about to bid a quick farewell to the doctor but she was held back on her good arm. "Oh Beca one more thing, there is a therapy group being set up for people who have been though the same thing as you, considering how you are coping I think it is best that you go, so i've written it in your file as mandatory. I'll be in touch with the details. See you next week Beca". 'great' she thought, 'now I have to go sit in a room full of sad people, while some high and mighty asshole tries to make people talk about their feelings'.
Beca was walking out of the hospital, trying to come up with a way of getting out of this group crap, when she almost walked into a nurse who was coming out of a cubicle. "S-s-sorry" Beca said as she moved quickly out of the way, the nurse was in a hurry and Beca looked to see where she was coming from. In the room on the bed was the most gorgeous person Beca had ever seen, lying there was a woman with waist length red wavy hair. She had cuts and bruises all over every part of visible skin, yet despite the mess Beca could tell she was beautiful without a doubt, she was about to walk in to get a closer look at the woman but her phone rang. It was a text from Jesse, telling her he was waiting outside to give her a ride. Beca took one last glance at the woman and turned to scurry off to the car park where her best friend was waiting.
Group therapy was due to start the following Thursday, there was no way out of it so Beca just decided to accept it and go, and try and blend into the walls as best as possible.
It was worse than she thought, there were 5 others in the room, not including a very peppy woman called Aubrey or something like that. No one really spoke other than Aubrey who was far too desperate to have people open up about their experiences. One or two of the others kind of opened up but Beca wasn't listening. She continued going for about a month and nothing changed. No one was freely speaking and even Aubrey's morale was beginning to dwindle. When Beca arrived and everyone was sat down, she noticed there was a space set up where they all sit, when Aubrey sat with the group she informed everyone "Today we have a new member, her name is Chloe and she'll be here shortly". Just as she finished talking the door opened and a wheelchair was wheeled in by a nurse, sat in the chair, much to Beca's delight, was the gorgeous redhead she had seen those weeks ago in the hospital cubicle. Chloe didn't look up as she was wheeled into the group, she just stared at her still bruised hands. Aubrey realised Chloe wasn't going to introduce herself so tried to take the attention away from her as to make her more comfortable. "So we all know why we are here, and to help Chloe settle in a little better why don't one of you tell your story for Chloe?" everyone kept quiet and Aubrey knew she'd have to select someone to do it, "Beca? Why don't you tell Chloe why you are here? Take your time". Beca looked like a deer in headlights, she'd managed to go this far without saying a word and now she had to tell this insanely beautiful girl why she was in group therapy. Taking a deep breath, she tried her best to explain her circumstances. "Uh, hi, I'm B-B-Beca." the stutter had already kicked in, closing her eyes she tried to focus on enunciating in her mind before speaking. "A f-f-few months b-back my sister was d-driving us home. Our f-f-fffavourite song came on the radio a-and we s-started sssinging along. A lorry was c-c-coming too fast and my s-sister didn't see it, we s-swerved and it hit her side. Long s-story sh-short my sister d-died. I w-woke up in hospital, I have s-s-severe n-nerve damage in my arm and head t-trauma which causes me to s-s-stutter. I'm here t-to try and cope with l-losing my sister." Tears were falling freely down Beca's face and Aubrey grabbed her a tissue, "Thank you Beca, for sharing that with all of us" she said with a smile. Beca gave a watery smile to the ground but wouldn't look anyone in the eye. It was because of that she didn't see Chloe intently staring at her from start to finish of her story. Aubrey snapped both girls from the haze, "So Chloe, now Beca has shared with us why she is here, why don't you let a little light onto your story too?" Chloe continued to stare dead ahead of her with a dead haze in her eyes, she wrung her hands together as she thought of how to say it. "Uhhh so I was driving back from my parents with my fiancé Stacie and our daughter Jess. We got into an argument about something stupid to do with the wedding. I wasn't looking at the road and some drunk driving idiot swerved onto the wrong side of the road, he hit us head on. Jess and Stacie urm didn't make it" her voice cracked and Beca could see how hard this was for her, she felt it in every word. "I got ahh severe spinal chord damage so I cant walk yet, i'm here to come to terms with the passing of Jess and Stacie" Aubrey couldn't even carry a bright smile after hearing the story, she went on to tell the group they could leave early and remember to turn up next week. The others got up to leave until only Beca and Chloe were left In the circle, Chloe turned to wheel herself out and got stuck at the door, Beca quickly went to the door to hold it open for the redhead who didn't even mutter a thanks as she wheeled to the exit of the hospital.
Beca looked at her phone and figured Jesse would be outside any minute now so she went to wait for him, when he finally pulled up she practically flung herself into the seat and Jesse gave her a quizzical look. "Since when are you this happy after coming out of group?" Jesse smirked, "Becs you haven't smiled in months what's got you like this?". Beca wasn't entirely sure why she was so happy, it wasn't like Chloe had even looked at her or spoke. The redhead was clearly distraught and blamed herself for what happened, and Beca would be delusional if she thought Chloe would want to befriend a stuttering mess like her. Beca sighed and her smile faltered slightly as she just muttered as she stared out of the window, "N-n-nothing". The rest of the ride was in silence as Beca thought about Chloe and how she'd try and get to know her better in group, and Jesse pretended not to notice how flushed Beca was getting while she was clearly deep in thought.
