Thank you so much for all the reviews on the previous chapter. I really hope that you are still interested in the story and that you want to see more. Please do really tell me what you think and be honest about it because I am really excited to find out what you think about this chapter.
''I am not okay….and I feel so stupid. I am so stupid. I went to the attic because I thought Kelly told me so over the radio…and he was not, he couldn't…and I have been hearing and seeing things that are not there…and I want to be okay, but I know I am not okay.'' Matt said then as tears filled his eyes and he bit his lip because he did not want to cry.
''Matt it is all right, we will get you help and it will all be fine. I promise..'' She said then as she walked his way and took his hand. He walked after her to the bedroom and slumped down on the bed.
''I was doing okay and I wanted to keep pretending I was doing okay. Suddenly out of nowhere I saw Nesbitt's men again I didn't want to think that I was getting worse again and that was why I didn't tell you.''
''Well, I am happy you did now.'' She said then and she caressed over his back, careful with the sling.
''I know that Nesbitt is locked up but I am still….he is still haunting me.'' Matt said sad and Gabby wrapped her arms around him.
''Tell me.''
''I am just scared that he will hurt me again, that he will hurt you and the family.'' He said then and he still tried to fight his tears as he did not want to break down and cry.
''He won't, you know he won't but I am so sorry about that. '' She said and he wanted to say something but he was so tired.
''I just don't know what to say, I want to tell you everything about my fears…but I am so tired.'' He said then and Gabby smiled with a loving smile.
''it's okay, just go to sleep. You really need to rest. You really need to sleep because of your head and I will wake you up every two hours, like the doctor said. To make sure you are okay and you don't hurt that head even more.'' Gabby said then and she kissed him as he laid down in bed.
''Are you sure talkig to your psychologist tomorrow is soon enough?'' She asked worried then as she draped the blanket over his hurt arm.
''Yes…thank you so much.'' He said then.
''You can talk with him tomorrow and it will help you, I am sure. You can always talk to me.'' She said then as she kissed him.
''I love you…'' He mumbled as he dozed off.
''I love you too.'' She said as she was holding his hand and looked as he fell asleep, happy he opened up but also so scared about it. She had thought he was better but he was far from.
The next morning
''Wake up Matt.'' Gabby said as she had to wake him up every two hours and he woke up.
''How do you feel?'' She asked worried as it was because of his concussion.
''I feel fine…and I am going out of bed. Woke up enough times now.'' He said as he got out of bed. He turned his back at her as he sat down on the edge of the bed, rubbing through his eyes with his one free hand.
She felt really bad, yesterday he finally had opened up a tiny bit, but it seemed now that he was closing down again but she just hoped he would tell his therapist about all that she had told him yesterday.
They walked downstairs then and Matt looked down on his arm and at Gabby then.
''I can't really make breakfast.'' He said then and she smiled.
''I will do it.'' She said then and he tried to help out as much as he could. She just smiled at him.
''I love you.'' He said then. ''And I am so happy that you are not too angry about me not telling you anything, I wanted you to think I am fine.''
''Don't worry, I know…I just…I know that….but we talked about it last night… you don't need to apologize to me again.'' Gabby said then and they shared a kiss as she put breakfast down.
''Egg on toast, lucky me.'' He smiled then and she was pretty sure that he was faking that smile, but she was also just happy that he had finally opened up to her.
''Uhm…can you maybe cut that for me?'' He asked then and she nodded and cut the toast and egg for him.
''Gosh, will I be doing this for the next three weeks?'' She joked but Matt looked really concerned then, scared that she was really bothered about him.
''But I love doing it for you.'' She said then as they finished breakfast.
He wanted ot help her washing off but she shook her head then and smiled at him.
''You are injured. I will do it. Kelly is going to come over in a bit. He wanted to see you.''
Matt nodded and sat down on the couch then and watched the news until Kelly came walking in.
''Gabby said you were not doing so well.'' Kelly said concerned as he walked in and sat down beside his friend on the couch. He had taken his friend's favorite pie that they sold there and his favorite coffee.
''Yeah…no…I am not so well.'' Matt said as he took the coffee from Kelly, grateful.
''What is wrong?'' Kelly asked concerned. ''Is your collarbone hurting? Your head?''
''My shoulder hurts…but I am….I am not doing well mentally. I…I heard your voice say that I had to go to the attic because Nesbitt had Gabby there and I know that was not you…and that is bad.'' Matt said then and Kelly nodded.
''Did you talk to your psychologist about that?''
''I am going there this afternoon.'' Matt said then and Kelly nodded. He hoped that Matt would say just a bit more but he did not and he wasn't sure if he should bring it up and instead he wanted to cheer his friend up now.
''Pie?'' Kelly asked then as he held out the bag and Mat smiled.
''You know how to cheer me up.'' Matt said then and smiled at his friend. They sat together and just enjoyed their coffee and pie and Gabby joined them as well. Soon Kelly left as Matt had to go to talk to his doctor soon.
''I hope, I hope he will finally open up this afternoon…and that he finally will feel better.'' Gabby said then and Kelly hugged her.
'Me too, but you stay strong as well, if you need anything, just tell me.'' Kelly said and Gabby nodded grateful and let Kelly out of their apartment then and she walked back to Matt.
He got ready to go see his psychologist and they drove to his office then. In the waiting room eh was so nervous as he had to start talking, but he was still scared.
''Are you ready?'' She asked then and finally he nodded and kissed her before letting go of her hand and walked inside the office. Gabby sat down in the waiting area, hoping that he would finally be able to open up a bit more with the psychologist and that that would make him feel so much better.
NOTE:Matt finally opened up a tiny bit to Gabby and she was happy he did, although she is also scared that he suddenly had this breakdown again but finally he was going to open up to his psychologist. Next chapter he is finally opening up and making more steps towards recovery.
Thank you so much for reading, I hope that you enjoyed this chapter just as much as the previous chapter. Please do tell me again what you think by leaving a review and hopefully I will see you again next chapter.
