Everything Twilight belongs to Stephenie Meyer, everything else is mine.

Thanks to Midnight Cougar for beta'ing and fixing my tense issues. :)


Chapter 56

It's been a few weeks since the complete and utter melt down of me, and our talks. Sessions with Rose are going well. The new medication hasn't had any side effects thus far.

I see you a lot more now and you are still calling every day, but I'm much more civil.

You are at my door one night after work, but this time I don't yell at you or hit you; I let you in. I don't know why, but it could be because of the quart of Baskin Robin's rainbow sherbet in your hand.

Did you really remember that's my favorite?

The smile you wear says 'yes', and a feeling comes over me, but I can't name it.

This goes on for weeks, you showing up at my door with something, pushing your way into my life. And I let you, every single time.

What we do together isn't much; eat dinner or dessert, watch TV, a movie. Sometimes we play a game.

I shock you the day that I smile upon seeing you… almost as much as I shock myself.

I think I am healing, little by little.
