Jeff kept a very close eye on Dixie that week, if she went into the kitchen he would follow he also kept a close eye on her arms, checking them at the end of each day making sure there was no new cuts, he didn't want her relapsing.

"Jeff I can get a drink without you following me"

"I know, it's just" He looked to the draw which held the knifes and forks.

"Oh great so you don't trust me now" Dixie retorted, slamming the cup on the side.

"Of course I trust you" Jeff stated, giving Dixie a hug, it wasn't that he didn't trust her he just didn't want her to hurt herself again, he was so scared of finding her with slit wrists bleeding to death.

"Well then why are you following me around like a lost puppy?" Dixie pulled away after a few seconds of being in Jeff's embrace.

"Because I don't want you getting hurt." His voice had a hint of sadness, making Dixie feel bad,

"I'm sorry Jeff" Dixie looked to her feet, her eyes starting to water.

"Hey, you have got nothing to be sorry for." He held her tighter this time, so she had no way of escaping his grasp. He could feel her crying so rubbed the underneath of her eyes removing the tears, moving them both on the sofa he cradled her as she continued to cry.

"You didn't let your dad down Dix" Jeff stroked her hair, as she continued to sniff failing to hold back her tears.

"I did Jeff, I deserve to be hurt" he could see her scratching her nails against her thumbs, so he held her hands tight stopping her nails from scratching, he could feel her hands relaxing in his.

"No you don't, please you have to stop thinking like this" Jeff wanted her to see how precious and special she really was.

"Why," She asked bluntly, then biting her gums inside her mouth.

"Because you are punishing yourself," Jeff kissed her head lightly, not wanting to let her go.

"I deserve to be punished, I should have stopped my dad from smoking, help him give up then maybe he would still be here now" Jeff was shocked at what he was hearing, but he now understood why Dixie was hurting herself, in her eyes she was responsible for her Dad's death but she really wasn't.

"Dixie there was nothing you could have done, your Dad was his own person. You saw him even after he found out he continued smoking, you inherited your stubbornness from somewhere" Dixie chuckled knowing her and her dad were always the stubborn ones of the family.

"I had the chance to stop him, and I didn't"

"Dixie…"

"No Jeff, I am responsible for my Dad's death, I don't deserve to be healthy or have you as a friend, you should leave me, throw me out, shout at me for what I have done" Dixie got up from Jeff, put he pulled her back down hugging her.

"Now you listen to me, you are not responsible for your Dad's death, you deserve to be healthy and no matter how much you try and push me away I am always going to be here, " he knew now why she felt the way she did, and he was determined to help her through this.

"That is everything, now you know why I did it, now you know how much of a failure I am. Now you know, do I still have to go counselling?"

"Yes you do still have to go, but we will get somebody different, I don't think I can stand Ben for another hour, if I do I will not be held responsible for my actions"

"You are not a failure Dix, you are going to pull through this" he added, continuing to comfort her.

"I don't think I can Jeff" she continued to sob, not sure how she was going to get through this.

"Yes, Yes you can you are strong, and I will be with you every step of the way"

"Promise?" She asked, looking into his eyes.

"Promise princess" Jeff kissed her lightly again, as Dixie smiled knowing Jeff was going to help her get through this, and he was going to be with her every step of the way no matter what.
