It had been a few weeks since the news of his father's death, and Jasper had been talking to his therapist about everything that had been happening lately. From the death of his mother and the nightmares he'd been having about it, to the fights him and his father had been having pre-mortem about some choices Jasper had been making all the way to the death of his father.

He had found a really nice one a few years back when his mother died. Since he had the Saint's money on his side he could pay for her. He had found her name was Kathleen, and she was really nice. Tentative and respectful while she really listened and understood him and what he was going through. She was cute too, short brown hair with big brown doe eyes and smooth tan skin. Her room matched her well, with deep red walls and with maroon furniture and light orange drapes. All in all the room was nice and warm just like her personality, with the reds, yellows, and oranges.

Jasper looked up at the sky, while he walked down the streets of Stilwater toward her office for a session, basking in the warmth the sun was giving. His pale skin was ghostly white in the yellow sun, but he shrugged it off kept walking as his thoughts drifted toward what he wanted to talk to Kathleen about.

Lately the nightmares were getting worse and his usual routine wasn't working. Neither his meditative clearing if his mind before bed or his herbal sleeping tea was working. And the nightmares were getting more and more violent. Though Jasper was missing a few key pieces of information, thanks to Adrian, he still could fabricate what his father's last moments were like in his head. And night after night those thoughts made themselves into a horrible nightmare terrorizing him until he couldn't take anymore and woke up screaming.

Jasper's train of thought of was interrupted by his phone vibrating in his pocket. Pulling it out he smiled when he saw it was Adrian. The Saints leader had been calling every day since that night to check in on him. Having trouble keeping the smile from his voice he answered and said,

"Hey Adrian." Almost instantly the Boss answered in an equally warm voice,

"Hey Jazz, how you doing?"

"I'm doing good, about to go see Kathleen for our weekly session. What are you up to?" There was a moment pause and mumbled voices as the Boss said something like 'yeah that's fine just put it over there' before he turned back to Jasper and said,

"Good, good I'm glad you like her. Well Jasper I have a question for you." Jasper raised an eyebrow even though he knew Adrian wouldn't have been able to see it and asked,

"Sure, what's your question?" There was another pause and sounds of what seemed like shuffling boxes before Adrian said exhaling,

"Well Jasper we just got a new penthouse and I was wondering how you would feel about moving up to Steelport with us?" Jasper stopped in his tracks, he was not expecting that at all. Moving to Steelport? He couldn't... He wouldn't be able to do that. Stilwater was his home, he couldn't leave it... After all the things that happened here...Though he did like the thought of being with Adrian, and it was getting a little lonely at the house all by himself. Biting his lip he said the only thing that came to his mind,

"I'm not sure Adrian, I'd have to think about that. I mean I would like to but..." Jasper trailed off and hoped Adrian understood what he was trying to get at. And within seconds Adrian's voice sounded with the exact words he needed to hear,

"Don't worry Jazz, I understand what you're getting at. Just think it over in your head for a while and then when you're sure tell me okay." Jasper exhaled relieved. Adrian knew exactly what to say to make him feel better. Neither his father nor his mother, from what he could remember of his mother anyway, could do that as easily as Adrian could.

"Thanks Adrian, I will think about it. Thanks for the offer." Jasper couldn't help the blush that fell across his face as Adrian chuckled lowly and said,

"You're welcome Jazz, I'll call you later tonight alright?" Jasper despite himself nodded and said,

"Alright, I'll talk to you later Adrian." and with that the leader of the Saints hung up the phone. Jasper bit his lip as he tried to bite back the smile that was fighting it's way onto his face looking down at his phone. He cursed himself for being so...obvious... Around him like that. Shaking the blush from his face he continued his walk down the street to Kathleen's office.

Once inside he was met with her nice secretary who told him to go in as she was already waiting for him. Knocking tentatively on the door he smiled when he heard her soft voice say,

"Come in Jasper."

When Jasper walked in he gave her a warm smile while closing the door behind him. She smiled back at him and motioned for him to sit down on the couch, which he had claimed as his own with the weeks that he'd been seeing her. There was a few moments of comfortable silence while the black haired teen got comfortable laying on the couch. Kathleen smiled and pulled up his file and tilted her head before saying,

"Good afternoon Jasper, how are you feeling this week?" Jasper bite his lip as he got out his drawings and started to sketch,

"Ehh it's been a little lonely at the house now that Dad's gone."

"Have you been hanging out with friends to compensate for the emptiness at home?" Pulling out his pencil sharpener he nodded,

"Yeah, but it's still eerily quiet at night." There was a long pause as Kathleen started writing on her clipboard before asking,

"Anything else happening this week?" Jasper bit his lip harder in thought as his hand just started running across the paper. He wasn't sure what he drawing but he would find out when it was done, in the meantime he said,

"Yeah, Adrian just called on my way here and asked me if I wanted to move up to Steelport with him." Kathleen was a little taken back by that, but the thought made her smile that Adrian wanted Jasper in his life, to make sure he was okay or for whatever other reason he had for asking the teen to move,

"And do you want to move in with him?" Jasper looked up at her for a split second before looking back down at his paper,

"Yeah a little. Like I want to be with him, but at the same time I don't want to leave Stilwater. I mean I grew up here and I know these streets, I don't want to leave the familiarity, but I don't want to be lonely anymore at the house" Kathleen nodded as she wrote down the gist of what he was saying and what was to be done before asking,

"Do you think it would be good for you to be around your godfather?" Jasper felt his cheeks heat up at the thought of his godfather. The way Jasper saw it, it was a good thing because he got to see him a lot more, but a not so good thing because he had to be careful of his small developing crush on him, shaking away the blush, which didn't budge he said,

"I like the idea of being with him, and I want to be around him. But I still don't think I want to leave Mom and Dad's house." She nodded before putting in her two cents,

"Maybe you just need a little bit more time here before you leave. Because I can see you want to be with him, but it's not time yet. Is there any time that he would be coming back to Stilwater?" Jasper's eyes fell and the blush died down as he nodded and, answered somberly

"Yeah at my father's funeral in about a month." Kathleen nodded slowly before saying,

"Maybe after the funeral you could talk to him about moving in with him, and then you would have spent about one more month here, and you had the funeral so you could move on and live with your godfather." Jasper worried his lip between his teeth as he thought it over, it seemed like a good idea, and it did give him time to say goodbye to the house. He nodded said,

"Yeah, I could do that" Kathleen smiled and wrote something down on her clipboard. Another long comfortable silence fell between therapist and patient before Jasper said softly,

"Kathleen?"

"Yes Jasper?" She said looking up over her glasses a piece of her hair falling to the side of her face. Jasper took a deep shaky breath and said so softly Kathleen had to strain to hear it,

"The nightmares are getting worse." Kathleen swallowed the lump that formed in her throat. She knew they would eventually, slipping off her glasses she leaned forward and listened as Jasper spoke,

"They're getting so real I wake up in a cold sweat screaming my head off, my blood runs cold and I can't breath properly. And my methods aren't working! My herbal tea? It doesn't do jack for me now and meditation doesn't work either and they always did, but now neither of them work and I don't know what to do Kathleen." Therapist nodded slowly taking in all the information that the teen had just given her and digesting it,

"Well Jasper your meditation worked for you before because you knew the last time you talked to him he was alive, well now that you know for a fact that he's gone you're clearing of the mind is getting clouded with grief. As for herbal tea, well organic herbs only go so far." Her eyebrows knitted together in concern as she watched him. He took another shaky breath and closed his eyes trying to fight back some kind of emotion before he asked,

"So what do I do Kathleen?" She gave him a small smile and said confidently,

"Well we could try you on a sleeping regimen." Jasper looked up his eyebrows raised in question and, she elaborated,

"Put you on a sleeping drug... One that's fully tested and is proven not to have as many chemicals and it does have organic qualities to it." She added quickly when she saw his eyes darken. But darkened pupils lighted just the slightest before asking,

"What's it called?"

"It's a drug called Hypnocil, it should suppress the chemicals in the brain that release thoughts that turn into dreams, therefore no nightmares."

"Hopefully." She smiled as she had him convinced. Kathleen wrote out the prescription as the session came to a close, and Jasper hung up another one of his drawings on Kathleen's cork board. A shaded flower with a ladybug on the leaf. A sign of good luck in his father's eyes. With small goodbyes Jasper left and made his way over to his doctors to get the pills set up to his pharmacist. He wasn't really sure about the pill, but right now he was so desperate not to have anymore of these dreams, and maybe Kathleen was right about his godfather. Maybe he should wait until the funeral and leave with him, then he said his goodbyes and he could move on. A smile sad smile came to Jasper's lips as he came to the resolution. Liking the thought of it he pulled out his phone and dialed Adrian's number waiting for him to answer and when he did Jasper said,

"Adrian, I want to move in with you."
