Assessment of treatment

[Next day]

Jemisha and Chris were getting ready to head out to the clinic, Iris came to see them off and promised to come and visit them and bring them flows, and cookies.

Jemisha hugged Iris, but when it was Chris his turn he was a bit hesitant.

Iris let him know he could hug her as well so he did.

"I'll be looking forward to your visit but I don't know if I'll be in the best condition to do anything fun."

'Don't worry, Noah will come along and he can help you out if you don't feel so well.'

Chris picked her up "Thank you Iris, you're not only cute but also a sweet girl."

Chris put back down and ruffled her hair "See you soon Iris."

Jemisha and Chris got in to Jemisha's truck and drove off.

Half way thought the drive she ask 'Are you nervous?'

"Just a little…"

'Well I can't deny I'm not the same, but we have each other and no matter what, we can do this, good or bad, we will come out of this victorious and stronger than before.'

Chris smiled dejected, "Well when I'm in a lot of pain, I can be very moody, agitated and lash out, I really don't want you to see that side of me that's all, I'm afraid if you see that side of me you will run away from me."

'Nah that won't happen, because I already know how painful it can be. And I know you wouldn't mean it even if you lash out to me, because I will slap you so hard that the only pain you will feel for a few days will be in your face and not on your back.'

Chris started to laugh.

Jemisha and Chris arrived at the Clinic and were welcomed by Carsten, Amanda and Lizzy.

Lizzy pounced at Jemisha 'Rose! How bad is it?'

'Not all that bad as last time.'

Lizzy let go of Jemisha and Amanda gave her a hug, 'How have you been?'

'Uhm alright I guess, well accept for the scars on my body. I mean can't they just stab or shoot me so I could still wear a bikini…'

Carsten came up to her "For somebody who gets hurt a lot you still have the energy to complain. You should just draw up the areas on your clothes with the text; this area only." 

Carsten gave her a hug. 

'Thank you for appointing Amanda and Lizzy to be our nurses.'

"Well I thought I traumatized you enough last time so…"

Jemisha giggled.

'Uhm one question is Chris psychologist a male or female?'

Male, but he knows he doesn't have to focus on you and that you have your own psychologist on speed dial. But you need to be open to communication regarding Chris metal state."

"Don't worry, she wil be in the room with me when I have my session. She wanted me to be there when she was talking with Jack and I want her there to when I have my sessions, We have no secrets, and it helps us better to understand what is going through our mind that very moment."

Carsten nodded. "By the way Rose, where is your therapy dog?"

'Spike is back in Singapore, I have to admit, not having him with me lately has be hard on me but since I'm all over the place it would be very taxing for him so… and he currently is helping Loki with his anxiety problems so…'

'But I'll manage somehow, I have been for the past couple of days.'

Carsten took Chris and Jemisha to a different accommodation from last time, it had a few of the lake and it was quiet.

"The psychologist advised me not to bring you to the same place you stayed before, because it could trigger you and he wished to live a little longer."

Jemisha giggled and they went inside.

Jemisha showed Carsten her scars, Well that bastard who treated my wounds injected me with some kind of cell regeneration stimulant, but forgot to tell me.'

"I guess you would freak out when you saw the results only after a few days."

'Freaking out is an understatement, I got a full blown panic attack.'

"Well seems the stuff worked it's wonders it won't take long, you'll be nice an pretty in three week."

Now it was Chris turn and lifted his shirt.

Carsten looked at the scars and saw there were pretty old and some were starting to thin out, meaning some wouldn't take more than a few week and they would be gone.

He then looked at the scar on his side, "This one is pretty recent"

"That one can stay. It's a reminder of the night Rose saved me."

"Alright…well pretty boy, you'll be out of this place in 2 and a half months."

"Really?"

"Yeh…because although all the scars on your back may be old, just like her, your young and some of your old scars are thinning out, meaning that clearing them wil be easier."

'So doc same schedule like last time?'

"Monday, Wednesday, Friday, scar treatment, Tuesday and Thursday is psychologist sessions."

'Alright… see you on Monday.'

Carsten, Amanda an Lizzy left them and Chris and Jemisha were putting away their stuff,

When they were done they relaxed outside on the veranda.
