Terrence Bosley rounded the corner of his office hall, moving carefully with his blue metallic cane. He was 75 years old and was able to understand all of his depressed patients for, he too, fell under the same condition as they had. Different stories yet the same emotions. When he was 15 he had lost his parents in a fire he tried saving them, he did, but his attempts were futile.
Falling into depression he fell under the care of his grandparents. He loved his grandparents, he did. They just didn't understand him and his emotions. He was later sent to a rehab center when his grandmother found out his depression. The doctors... they just didn't get him. Wearing masks and showing pity made him feel worse.
He didn't like that… only Dr. Wilson understood and didn't treat Terrence's depression as a disease...
Terrence liked that from Dr. Wilson. Dr. Wilson helped with Terrence's situation. Terrence looked up at him as some sort of hero. "Hey Terry!" Dr. Fisher said as she approached him, Terrence snapped out of his thoughts.
"Hello Sara." Terrence said and smiled. Sara handed him some documents. Terrence looked at the documents and saw the name "JACK BREWER" in big bold letters, and that's when he knew... Terrence sighed and let out a little smile. A reunion with an old friend was about to come up...
Kim looked at Sadie, "I'm sorry Sadie, I'm sure Argos didn't mean to scare you." Sadie nodded and squeezed her father's hand. Kim looked at Jack, his piercing gaze sending a shiver down her spine. She noticed a scar at his left temple that ran down to his neck, she knew that there was something hidden in that scar. Argos sauntered over to Jack and nuzzled his knee. Jack sighed and picked up the leash.
He got up and handed it to Kim. "I'm Jack, Sadie's dad." He said in a rough voice. He stuck out his hand and Kim stared at it. "Well?" He asked growing irate.
Kim gulped and shook his hand, "I-I'm Kim, S-Sadie's teacher." She squeaked. He raised a brow, but shrugged. Sadie got up and took his hand, Jack's gazed shifted to her.
"Well... take care." Jack said, his voice still cold and irate. He and Sadie both walked.
Kim sighed and shook her head. What happened?! She thought and looked at Argos, "Such a bad boy," Kim scolded. Argos stuck out his tongue and wagged his tail joyously. Kim sighed and they began to walk. Kim's thoughts tracing back to Jack...
What's his story?
Jerry Martinez was busy cleaning the counters of the small diner that he and Eddie Jones owned. 50's music playing in the quiet restaurant. No one was here, considering it was late in the afternoon, their slowest hour. The small bell dinged as someone entered. Jerry looked up and smiled brightly. "Jack!" He said and ran towards him. Jerry gave Jack a quick hug and picked up Sadie.
"Reina bonita, Beautiful Queen!" Jerry smiled and hugged Sadie, she let out a giggle.
"Hi Uncle Jerry." Sadie said and hugged him back. Jerry put her down.
"Yo, Eddie!" Jerry called out. Eddie walked out of the kitchen and wiped his hands on his apron. Eddie looked up and gaped at Jack.
"Jack is that really you?!" Eddie said. Jack nodded and smiled softly at the two of them.
"Uncle Eddie!" Sadie said and hugged his leg. Eddie smiled and dropped to his knees to hug her.
"So... are you okay?" Jerry asked, Eddie recovered to his feet. Jack's eyes shifted from them and his face clouded over.
"I'm going to be honest, okay?" Jack said and looked at them. They nodded as he took a seat. "I'm... I'm not okay..." Jack said as a dull pain ached in his chest and Sadie sat next to him. Eddie patted his shoulders. "We don't expect you to be, I mean you did go through a lot Jack. That's understandable." Eddie said.
Jerry nodded, "Yeah, but we do expect you to shape up for Sadie."
Jack nodded, "I... I know and I'm going to go see a psychologist for therapy next week..." He looked at Sadie who stared back at him. "For Sadie's sake." Jack said.
Eddie and Jerry nodded at each other, "That's great to hear, Now time for some complimentary burgers!" Eddie said and laughed as he went to the kitchen. Making Jack smile. Trying to enjoy this happiness...
Jack entered the small clinic. He had dropped Sadie off at school and drove here as fast as he could. He sighed as he signed in and checked the time. He barely it on time. He sat down and read the news on his phone.
"Jack Brewer?" A voice asked.
Jack looked up and saw the one and only Terrence Bosley.
"T-Terry?" Jack asked as slowly stood up. He walked over to him, he smelled the sweet scent of caramel and peppermint. Terrence's signature scent. Terrence lead him over to his office. Jack got seated.
Terrence looked at him with a kind expression, a motion for Jack to talk. "You probably know I'm here for... multiple reasons..." Jack began.
Terrence knew that something was holding Jack down, that pained shackles were keeping him bound.
He knows that this wasn't going to be easy for Jack...
