Chapter 10 – Counselling sessions
(Erin's POV)
I was just going to see Siobhan the next morning when I was intercepted by Maddy "Hey Erin" she chirped cheerfully, "I need your help" her tone darkened.
"What is it, Mads?" I asked, now confused. "I was talking to Wally and I think Dick needs counselling to get through this…safely" Maddy expanded.
I started to argue but Maddy interrupted "Look, Erin just do it, it's really important". I finally gave in and Maddy grinned at me before walking off.
I wonder what's going on. Maddy stuck her head back out "Your first counselling session is at 11 today, Dick will come to your house" she exclaimed.
"What?" I cried. Now this was going too far, but if he really needed it…"Fine" I huffed more to myself than anyone else.
I walked into the room to find Maddy in an expressive conversation with Siobhan.
I went to ask what they were talking about when suddenly "Hello Peasants, The queen of the effing universe is here, you can all relax now" Lucy shouted and all the nurses came running.
"Everything's fine" Kaldur said sheepishly, "I just, uh tripped over but I'm fine now". Oh, how cute he covered for Lucy. The nurses sighed, relief washing each of their faces before leaving the room.
Maddy started cracking up laughing "What are you talking about, Peasant, everyone knows I'M the queen".
Then Maddy and Lucy started arguing about who the queen, leaving a highly amused Kaldur and a frowning Siobhan.
"For goodness sakes people, stop being stupid" I yelled, Siobhan nodded in agreement, "I mean seriously people, everyone can hear you and how ridiculous you sound".
Maddy and Lucy were not arguing anymore, Siobhan looked pleased and Kaldur looked guilty. I was not done yet though.
"I mean c'mon guys, everyone knows…I'm the queen" I sighed dramatically.
We all started cracking up laughing and a nurse walked in glaring at us "Siobhan you can go now" she said with attitude.
I poked my tongue out at her once she left. We helped Siobhan out of bed and Maddy went to grab her clothes so she could change.
I looked at the time, Crap it was 10.30, I needed to get out of here. Siobhan's parents were dropping her and Maddy home and I asked if I could come too.
They agreed and we left soon. In the car, we were singing at top note and I feel kinda sorry for Siobhan's parents.
Soon we got to my house and I thanked them before rushing inside and getting ready. Luckily my parents or brothers weren't home because if they were, I would be bombarded with questions.
It was 10.42, Knowing Dick he would be early but oh well. I set up the lounge room so it looked like an interview room with two chairs on either side of the table. The doorbell rang, it was 10.53, I told you so
I opened the door "Hey Dick, come in", he came inside and I told him to go into the lounge room.
He sat down and I explained "I don't really know why you're here, Maddy just told me you were coming over".
"I'm not really sure why either but Maddy said you could help" he stated, "I can tell you a bit about my past though".
Why do guys like this always have a bad past or something? I nodded for him to continue and he said "I have a bad past, something big in my life took place and I went through depression and self-harm issues".
I need to help him "I presume you're scared because of Siobhan and you think that you will start again" I asked.
He nodded but said nothing. I needed more information if I was going to help him "Dick, what are your parents like?" I asked.
"Most of the time I'm not home because my parents always thought that James was the better twin".
"I know how you feel" I said without thinking, "I mean I can imagine it" I quickly covered. He narrowed his eyes at me and I gulped. "What are you not telling me, Erin?" he asked. Should I tell him or not "If you don't mind telling me, what happened in your past?" I changed the subject. "My girlfriend committed suicide" he stated, Oh my golly goodness, "What was her name?" I asked, my voice full of compassion. "Victoria" he whispered.
I froze and took a sharp breath, Could it be? No way, he can't know. "Erin, what's going on?" Dick cried, shaking my shoulders, I can't tell him, can I, Too late now, he would soon find out anyway.
"Dick" I took a deep breath, "Victoria…was my twin sister". Dick froze "Oh wow, I'm so sorry" Dick said rubbing my shoulders.
I shook my head vigorously but that didn't stop the tears falling. "Dick, the thing is...that that" I stuttered "Victoria isn't" I broke into tears and Dick caught me.
"Please Erin, I need to know what you are trying to say" Dick cried "Please Erin, tell me". I took a deep breath "The thing is Dick" I started "Victoria isn't dead".
He gasped, why did I tell him? He'll never believe me. "I knew it" he whispered. I froze "What?"
"There was never any evidence, just the fact she was missing and the letter addressed to me" Dick explained.
I nodded in agreement. That's right, there was no body, weapon and it was almost a useless case.
"If Victoria's alive though, then why are you crying" Dick asked puzzled. "Because Dick, Victoria was living with me up until 2 weeks ago" I cried, "Now though, Victoria's missing".
I broke down and Dick comforted me until he had to go. That night I cried myself to sleep thinking about all the bad things that could have happened to her, my twin sister, Victoria Jane Hayse.
