The Next Day

Scarlet's POV

I sat in Ted's therapist's office with Randy and Cody. Cody was fidgeting, Randy was playing a game on his phone and I was sitting still, staring fixedly at the floor. I heard the door open, so I looked up and in walked the therapist. He shook our hands before sitting down behind his desk, folding his hands together. He cleared his throat, then said "I'm going to be blunt about Ted's condition because throwing around fancy terms because it is a very simple condition. Ted is obsessed with Scarlet. No matter what anyone says or does or shows him, he only brings up Scarlet. I showed him inkblots, did word association with words that had nothing to do with Scarlet and everytime all he said was Scarlet's name. He's not showing any signs of improvement and he's mentally unstable."

"So what's going to happen to him?" I asked quietly.

"We're going to keep him here for as long as we have too," replied the therapists "I don't know how long it'll take for him to improve, if he ever improves,"

Tears filled my eyes and I bit my lip. This is what I wanted for him, not in the slightest, I just wanted to be able to be with Randy and I wanted him to find someone else, not obsess over me to the point of madness.

I looked at the therapist and said "I want to see him."

"Scarlet that isn't a good idea."

"You don't know that. Maybe him seeing me and talking to me will help him."

"I don't-"

"I don't care what you think! Please just let me see him!"

His eyes widened and he sat back in his chair. Finally he said "I'll have his nurse escort you to his room."

He left the office and I looked at Randy and Cody. "This is all my fault" I whispered.

"No it isn't," Cody told me "Ted fell for you and he fell hard. You tried to break away from him, you tried to tell him,but he wouldn't listen. Scarlet this isn't your fault."

"Yeah," agreed Randy "Whether you and him got together or not, this still might have happened. When you have feelings for someone, there is no denying them."

"I know, but-"

Just then the nurse came in and said "Follow me. You boys will have to stay outside the door, only Scarlet is allowed in."

We all nodded and followed the nurse.

This is my only chance to get through to Ted.

I pray that for once he listens to me...

Well who didn't see that coming?

I don't think you need to be a doctor or a therapist to see that Ted's obsessed with Scarlet.

Think he'll finally listen to Scarlet?

Or is Ted doomed to spend his life in the hospital?
