Chapter 6

I hold in my hand's picture of Ethan... My patient Ethan,  and 3 other guys. They don't look anything like him so I guessing that they are maybe friends but they are drop-dead gorgeous. 

And another picture of Ethan and a girl. She is very pretty tall, slim, curly long blond hair. She has both the front and the back if you know what I mean. 

I can believe what a coincidence that I am in the room of the patient who refuses to cooperate with me. I got a little inside look into his life but I don't want to snoop too much so I just look at the books he has and some other things and then just quickly finish my job.

When I am about to leave the old lady that opened the door, invites me for some lunch. And I want to be rude so I agree with a small lunch. She makes me a sandwich and a cup of tea. And it is delicious. 

I want to ask some questions but I feel like it would be inappropriate, and just like she is reading my mind she says that the couple who live here Karen and Hanry are having a hard time now.

˝It has been a tough time for this family and I feel for them˝ She says. 

˝Why is that, if it is not rude of me to ask?˝ I say as politely as I can.

˝ Their son was in an accident and it was bad.˝

˝ Oh˝ is the only word or more like the sound I can make.

˝What is he like the son I mean?˝ 

˝Oh he is a good person. He just had I tough life and that is why he doesn't trust a lot a people...˝

˝I wouldn't imagine him having a tough life since they are rich...˝ And as I say that I cover my mouth with my hand in the realisation I  have said that out loud...

˝Well honey money sometimes does more bad than good...˝ 

˝I am sorry I shouldn't have said that!˝I try to apologize but she waves at me reassuring me it is okay.

˝I should get going,˝I say at her not really knowing her name.

˝Okay honey, you do that, my name is Mabel, by the way, ˝ she winks at me and says goodbye as I am going to my car.

That was a weird turn of events. I am driving home and thinking about how I am going to encouraged Ethan to open up to me, or at least work with me.

After learning a couple of things about him I have a couple of ideas I will try to get him to trust me.

When I get home I open the door and see that father has friends over. And I feel nausea. As I walk past the living room he yells ˝Emily come in here!˝ 

And I don't want to do that but it will be worn if I don't. ˝What do you need ?˝ I ask him as I walk back to the room.

˝I want you to sit here with us˝ He says clearly drunk again. 

˝ I have to go to bad I have work in the morning, ˝ I say trying to get away as soon as possible.

˝NO COME HERE IF I TELL YOU TO DO SO YOU LITTLE B****.˝ He yells clearly angry... What to do I think as the nausea is getting worse.

I feel the hand of one of his friends on my leg running it up and down. And Father is standing up walking towards me...

He comes and grabs my hand and tries to pull me to the couch. I drag my arm out of his grip that was so tight that it is going to leave yet another bruise. I push him back.

He is not happy about it but I don't give him much of a choice.

A ran out of the door and straight to my car and drive of. 

As I am driving I feel the tears coming and try to hold them back. I pull out my phone and call Natalie. 

She answers after a couple of rings

˝Hi Emy what do you need? ˝ She asks thru the phone

˝ Hi˝ I have a raspy voice

˝I was wondering can I stay at your place tonight? ˝

˝What happened? Did he do anything? ˝ She asks because she knows my Father...

˝No... Yes... I just can't stay at home tonight..˝ I say as I am on the edge of full-blown meltdown.

˝I am at Liam's house, but you can come here he doesn't mind!˝ She says... Liam is our friend and they have been going out a little while. 

˝Okay I will be there in 10 minutes˝I say as I end the call and drive to Liam's house.

I park the car in front of Liam's house and before I rang the bell Liam and Natalie are already outside hugging me. 

˝What did he do!?˝ Natalie asks

˝Nothing... He just had friends and after the last time it was just too much, ˝ I say and they nod and take me inside.

Thank god both Liam's parents aren't home because they went on a romantic getaway. 

I get the guest room that I already know. Liam and Natalie have been there for me a lot and know pretty much everything about me. I am so grateful to have them. 

I lay down and try to get some sleep but I know that is not going to happen today. So I just make a plan for tomorrow. What I am going to do with Ethan and what I am I  going to do when I get home. It is so upsetting that I never know what kind of mood my father is going to be, or is he gonna be drunk or not. 

I decide that one hour of sleep is better than none. So I lay down and the darkness consumes me.
