Gone

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 just scared. I am scared that he might still come after me.'' Matt finally explained as he was talking the therapist for almost half an hour already. He just kept on asking about more details but even though Matt wanted to open up, he just didn't know what to say.

''Why are you scared of that?''

''I don't know. I heard his voice…I think it was just my fear.'' Matt said. ''I know it is not real…and I know if I keep remembering myself that, that I won't listen to voice again. I don't want Nesbitt to decide about my life anymore. ''

''it is good that you realize that.''

Matt was squeezing his hand in the hand in the sling, it hurt his shoulder but it took his mind of the talking for a second.

''Why don't you go see him…You will see that he is a human being, not something that is haunting you…and that he is safely locked away.'' His therapist said. Matt felt that his stomach was almost balling up, feeling sick with just the thought that he had to go and see Nesbitt.

''I could do that.'' Matt finally managed to say.

''I think it will help you.'' The therapist said then and Matt nodded slowly, not sure if he wanted to.

The next day.

They drove the prison and Matt wanted to get out of the car, but he knew he had to force himself inside. Gabby held his hand as they walked inside. Antonio had pulled some strings so that he could see Nesbitt not having to do the whole request of meeting him. Matt was so nervous and he just wanted to ran away but he knew he had to face this. He had to talk to Nesbitt and hopefully he could finally really be with Gabby again.

She hugged him right before he went inside. His legs were shaking as he knew he had to do it on his own now.

''You can do it.'' She said as she caressed Matt's hand and he went through the security then. It was just a drill after he had visited his mom enough times and walked in then. There was a long table with a glass halfway through and it made him happy, that there would still be something separated from Nesbitt.

He sat down and waited. Nesbitt getting brought to him just a minute later and Matt looked as he sat down in front of him.

''Look at you, you don't need me to hurt you.'' Nesbitt said as he smirked at Matt. Matt's chest tightened and he wanted to walk away and leave Nesbitt behind him but he knew he had to face him.

''I hurt myself on the job. It happens when you save lives, instead of ruining them.'' Matt said. ''You should know that, you did it once.''

Nesbitt huffed but looked at Matt then.

''Why are you here?''

''Just wanted to see you being captured now, instead of me.'' Matt said then. It calmed him down immediately that Nesbitt could not hurt him and he realized that Nesbitt could not hurt him at all anymore. He looked at the man that had hurt him so much and realized that he was just another man. That he was locked up and that Matt would not get hurt anymore. That he let his life decide by Nesbitt while he was actually finally free now. Matt just sad there for a few minutes as he was looking at the man that had made his life such a misery. But then he also knew that Nesbitt would be in here forever. That he had to be happy with Gabby and their daughter that was just a few months away.

''What, scared of me?'' Nesbitt asked as Matt got ready to leave.

''Oh no, I am going home to my pregnant fiancé. I am going back to my good life. My good life I am not going to let get ruined by you anymore.'' Matt said as he got up and he knew he was saying it more to himself than he was to Nesbitt, but he didn't even give Nesbitt a look anymore as he walked out of the visiting room. Gabby was waiting for him outside of the security and he hugged her as they walked to the car.

''How do you feel?'' She asked worried as she caressed him over his back.

''I…I feel so much better. Thank you so much. '' He whispered then as he realized he felt so relieved he had seen Nesbitt. Nesbitt was just a man in prison, he was not a ghost haunting him and he knew he had to let go. He finally could let it go.

At home Gabby looked a she laid down for a bit, probably overthinking what just had happened but now he was downstairs for dinner again.

''I made penne with tuna so you can eat it with one hand.'' She smirked softly and he smiled.

''what would I do without you?'' He said as he kissed her all over the side of her face and she turned around, cupped her face in his hands.

''I love to see you smiling again…really smiling because your eyes are smiling too.'' She said then and they kissed again, Matt trying to set up the table then with one hand. She put the food on the table and they sat down.

''I feel a lot better, completely honest.'' Matt said then as he smiled at her.

''That is good…that is really good.'' She smiled and he tried to get some more pasta on his fork.

After dinner Matt tried to help Gabby do the dishes as much as possible before walking to the couch and she laid down against him. He laid his free arm around her and held it, her fingers between his.

She took the remote and stopped in on the channel that had the Bachelor.

''I don't want to watch the bachelor.'' Matt complained and he tried to get the remote from her but she held her arm out, unable for him to reach with his arm.

''Grab it!'' She teased him but kissed him then, changing the channel to the news.

She was watching it when she suddenly noticed that Matt was asleep, but this time he did not seem distressed or having a bad sleep and she just smiled as his head was falling against her and she just let him be asleep, feeling so happy that he had finally opened up and even faced Nesbitt.

Now it was time to move on with their lives.

NOTE: Matt talked to his therapist whom told him to go talk to Nesbitt and with some help from Antonio Matt could visit him the next day and he finally realized that he can't let Nesbitt decide his live and that he won't hurt him again and Matt tries to remember that nad that he need so to move in with his life but will it be as easy as it seems like now?

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.
