A/N: I only own the OC

Thank you for all the reviews!


I had just left my first therapy session and I already felt better. I knew I needed to talk to someone the day I lost it on Shaun... that was a week ago.

Tony was letting me work at home currently, and I was grateful for that. He had stopped by this morning before my appointment with coffee and some flowers. I really was grateful for him.

"How was it?" Aj asked me when I got back to the loft.

"It's going to help." I said and she smiled at me. I was glad that she had agreed to stay here a little longer as I adjusted back to a new normal. I still have small panic attacks when someone bangs on the door. Phil had a ring doorbell put up for me.

Aj and so we're talking when someone knocked on the door. Aj jumped up before I could check so I guess she was expecting someone.

"Hi." A voice said and I looked up from my phone to see Shaun standing there with bags of food from Poe's Tavern. I was surprised to see him. We had texted for the last week, and I had apologized. I was surprised he was still talking to me.

"I thought we could have a movie night." He said as Aj smiled at me. I saw her grabbing her bag. She gave me a thumbs up to make sure I was comfortable. I nodded and she said bye before slipping out.

I sat there as he pulled out food and looked at me. I couldn't believe that he came back.

"Is this ok?" He asked me and I nodded.

"I didn't expect you to come back." I admitted and he smiled at me.

"I figure maybe if I show up enough to spend time with you then you will understand that I really do like you." He said and I felt myself smile. I wanted to believe it.

"I will believe it if you got my favorite burger. How does that sound?" I asked him. I knew that he couldn't possibly remember what I got that day.

"Done. I got you a hop frog." He said and I felt my jaw drop. He had gotten me my favorite.

"Do you believe me now?" He asked me after a second and I was surprised he had paid attention. I jumped up and hugged him. He was taken back and honestly I surprised myself.

"Sorry." I quickly said and he chuckled.

"I just don't know if you wanted a hug back." He said and I gave a small smile.

"I will eventually, but that's the first time I have hugged anyone since the incident." I admitted as I pulled waters from the fridge.

"Im glad it was with me." He said and I felt myself smile again.

We ate and watched Scott Pilgram v. The World. I was glad Shaun had surprised me again. I was sitting on the couch with him when I felt his fingertips caress mine. I was trying to hide a smile. He finally put his hand on mine and I laced our fingers together.

"I want to sit next to you." He said and I nodded. I knew he was making sure I was comfortable. He pulled me to him as I chuckled and I put our hands in my lap.

"Thanks for surprising me tonight." I said and he smiled at me.

"Thanks for giving me another chance." He said and shook my head.

"That's all on me." I said and rolled his eyes with a smirk.

"That's all on a dumbass." He corrected and I smiled at him.

"Where are you staying?" I asked him.

"I have a friend that lives in St Augustine. He asked me to come hang out." He said and I nodded.

"Would you be up for seeing me again tomorrow?" He asked me and I smiled. I didn't want to seem to eager.

"I would like that." I said and he smiled at me.

"I do have one more question." He said and I looked at him with anticipation.

"Since you finally can see I like you... can we try a long distance relationship?" He asked me.

"Only because you got lucky and remembered my favorite burger." I said and he laughed.

A few days later...

I was finally going back to my office after two weeks. I was excited and nervous. Shaun had texted me that I would do great. Aj drove me, and would pick me up. I was tired of being in my condo.

I walked in and my desk was covered in flowers, get well notes, gift cards, and small gifts. I couldn't help but smile.

"Good morning." A voice said behind me and I turned to see Tony standing there. I hugged him after he handed me coffee.

"I'm glad you're back." He said and I smiled at him.

"Me too." I said as he helped me carry everything to my side table.

"Don't be surprised if you get a few visits today." He said and I nodded.

We talked for a little bit and he had to go do things. I got my laptop back where it needed to be, and started working when there was a knock at the door. I looked up to see Daniel standing there. I had seen him a few times since I got hurt.

"Hey." I said as I gave him a hug. He smiled at me and handed me more coffee. I guess everyone knew I liked coffee.

"How does it feel to be in the office?" He asked me.

"It's good. I'm glad to be somewhat back to normal." I admitted and he chuckled.

"Dinner tonight?" He asked me and I nodded.

"Did you drive?" He asked me and I shook my head no.

"Tell AJ I will bring you home. I'll be back to get you at 4." He said and hugged me before slipping out of my office.

I had texted AJ and was going about my day. I had a few in person meetings with creative, Tony, and some of the talent. A few were unhappy about some things so that would be addressed in my meeting with Tony tomorrow.

I was finishing up some emails when someone knocked. I looked up to see Daniel. He sat down and waited for me. I told everyone I was leaving for the day, and left with him.

Daniel POV

I was glad Rae was back to normal for the most part. She was one of my closest friends, and I hated seeing her not herself. I asked her where she wanted to go for dinner and we ended up at Waffle House. I was never one to turn down Waffle House.

"I think it's in our best interest to stay friends." I told her as I drover her home.

"Me too. I don't want to lose you out of my life." She admitted and I was glad to hear that.

I was glad we resolved that. I said hi to Aj and finally left Rae's around 10pm. I was heading back to Orlando for the night.
