Lauren shut the door behind her and followed Richard into the living room, throwing her arms round him.
'I've missed you' she said. Richard smiled and hugged her back tightly, relived nothing bad had happened to her.
'I've miss you too, darling' he said, hugging her for a few more seconds before letting her go. Lauren smiled and headed to the kitchen, making herself a drink of coffee.
'Want one?' she asked, holding up the coffee jar. Richard nodded and Lauren got another cup from the cupboard. They were in comfortable silence for a few minutes while Lauren made their drinks and headed back through to the living room, sitting down on the sofa.
'So, what you doing here?' asked Lauren, taking a sip of her coffee. Richard stayed silent for a few minutes, before setting his coffee down and gripped Lauren's hand.
'Last night... I found something out about Savage' he admitted. Lauren frowned.
'About Dr Savage? My cousellour?' she asked. Richard nodded.
'Lauren, has he ever told you about his other paitents?'
'No. Why would he? I'm his paitent. When he first started to counsel me, he told me they were living happily ever after..' Lauren said. Richard sighed.
'Lauren, I found a former paitent of his.. Well, her mother really...' Richard trailed off, remembering the horrific things Anethea told him on the phone. Lauren raised an eyebrow, expecting his continue.
'She told me that her daughter's boyfriend told him where to go, because she didn't want her daughter didn't want him as her cousellour anymore... So, Savage got hold of her daughter's boyfriends number and persuaded him to go round to his house, so he could apologize...'
'And?' prompted Lauren, when Richard cut himself off.
'And he killed him! He killed his paitent's boyfriend just because she didn't want him as her Doctor anymore' said Richard. Lauren was stunned, before she laughed.
'Oh, nice one! I know you don't like him, but he's making me better-'
'NO! HE ISN'T! HE'S BRAINWASHING YOU!' Richard screamed, before immediately regretting it. Lauren looked shocked that he had screamed at her
'I'm sorry! I'm sorry, darling. I didn't mean to scream at you..' he apologized, pulling her in for a side hug. Lauren sighed and pulled away from the hug, running a hand through her hair.
'I don't believe you... He wouldn't do something like that! He wouldn't brainwash me' said Lauren. Richard sighed and watched as she grabbed her medication. He grabbed it off her and held it out of reach, reading the label, before chuckling.
'These tablets he's prescribed to you... They help with the brainwashing. He asks you to take them, whenever you want to 'change' something what happened, don't you?' he guessed. Lauren looked as thought she could kill him. Her eyes turned black and and she struggled to keep herself in check.
'Give. Me. My. Medication' she said, in a low voice, her hand outstretched. Richard shook his head and Lauren lunged for him, but he stopped her.
'You just don't want to admit that I'm right! You know what's real and what isn't!' shouted Richard. Lauren froze for a minute, before a crack echoed through the room. Richard's hand went to cradle his burning cheek, as Lauren snatched the medication out of his hand and taking two tablets. She turned to head for the kitchen to put it away, but Richard grabbed her and forceful pulled her to him. He pinned her to the couch, trying to stop her struggling.
'GET. OFF. ME!' Lauren screamed, as she swung her arm at him. He dodged and grabbed it, holding it in place.
'YOU KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENING, LO! ADMIT IT!' Richard screamed. The living room down slammed open and Max and Joey stood in doorway, Joey looking ready to kill.
'WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?' Max yelled...
After calming Lauren and Richard down, Max and Joey sat with them in the living room, Richard trying to talk some sense into Lauren.
'I've already told you! He wouldn't do that to me!'
'Lauren, you ever wond-' Joey started to speak, but Lauren cut him off
'Shut up! None of you know what couselling is like! Some people have it for the rest of their lives, some don't! I'm close to been discharged from him, why can't you be happy?' she shouted at Richard
'Because it's not you! He's turning you into his little robot!' Richard shouted at her, the atmosphere tense, Lauren and Richard staring at his other, anger cursing through their viens.
'What's the last thing you remember?' asked Joey. Lauren blinked and turned her attention to him.
'Excuse me?' she asked. Joey sighed lightly and looked at Richard, before looking back at Lauren.
'You've took the pills since you've got home haven't you?' Lauren nodded and Joey continued. 'What's the last thing you remember doing before taking these?' he asked, holding up the bottle.
'I remember burning my stuff... Made me feel happy' she said. Richard raised an eyebrow.
'Er.. What did she just say?' he asked Max, who sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose.
'I'll explain that later, right now... Get rid of these!' said Max, grabbing the bottle from Joey's hands and handing it to Richard, who rushed into the kitchen.
'NO!' screamed Lauren rushing to the kitchen, but Joey grabbed her round the waist and held her to him. Lauren watched in horror as Richard poured the medication down the sink.
'WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?' Lauren screamed at him, as Richard smiled at the tablets disappearing...
Two days later, Lauren stormed into Tanya's house, throwing her bag and cardigan on the sofa, Richard following her while Max and Joey looked round with their mouths open.
'Oh my god!' they gasped. Lauren groaned and rolled her eyes.
'MUM! MOTHER!' Lauren screamed. A door upstairs slammed opened, before Tanya rushed downstairs, relief evident on her face.
'Oh darling! Thank goodness you're back! Listen, we need-' Tanya fell silent when she saw Joey and Max staring at her. Max smiled lightly.
'Tanya' he greeted. Tanya looked at Lauren, who shrugged her shoudlers and shook her head.
'Richard got rid of all my medication! He poured it down the sink and I need it, Mum!' said Lauren frantically. Tanya's eyes widened and turned to Richard.
'Why would you do that?' she asked, cradling Lauren in her arms
'Because it's the medication and Savage what are making her like she is!' shouted Richard. Lauren's phone rang and she dug it out of her purse. She smiled at the caller ID.
'It's Demi' Lauren lied, before answering the call, wondering outside with her bag...
'What do you mean he got rid of your medication?' asked Savage, as Lauren paced the room, a glass of water in her hands. She laughed and threw her hands up.
'Yes! I tried to stop him but Joey grabbed me!' she said. Savage froze. Joey?
'Joey?' he asked. Lauren nodded and sat down in the chair, her head in her hands. Doctor Savage frowned and dragged a chair infront of her and grabbed her hands, making Lauren look at him.
'Did you want to remember him?' he asked
'No... My sister showed me photos of us, but I couldn't remember him. And I was scared, so I went and confonted him... We went on a walk and then a load of memories crashed into my head!' Lauren sobbed. Doctor Savage nodded and let go of her hands, standing up.
'Are you mad at me?' Lauren asked, in a small voice. Doctor Savage planted a fake smile on his face and turned to face her.
'No, I'm not mad at you..' he said, before sighing 'Ready to start the session?' he asked. Lauren nodded, her body relaxing, as she felt slightly strange. Doctor Savge closed his door, making sure no-one was around...
