Sunday Night...

Adam decided that he needed to call Dr Avery and ask her if this whole thing was a good idea.

Dr: Hi, Adam. I was wondering when I’d get a call from you again.

A: I’ve sort of had a busy week.

Dr: It’s okay, so what have you been up to?

A: Spence left in the beginning of the week and I had a terrible nightmare.

Dr: Why didn’t you call me back then?

A: I didn’t think about it at the time.

Dr: Can you tell me what it was about?

A: Sure. (He said and then started telling Dr Avery about the nightmare)

Dr: Okay, wow. How did you manage to get over it?

A: I called over a friend of ours that Spence and I met in Texas.

Dr: Oh, Jackson I remember.

A: Yeah and he came over at that time because he wasn’t in a very sleepy mood. I made us hot chocolate and I told him everything and I told him that he could leave if he wanted to but he stayed the entire night, he actually stayed until Spence got back and told me to call him whenever Spence was out of town.

Dr: I’m glad you decided to tell him.

A: Yeah, it made me feel so much better.

Dr: So anything else?

A: Yes, Spence had the weekend off and he showed Jackson and I around. We had an amazing time, it was really awesome.

Dr: But there is another reason why you called isn’t there?

A: Yes there is. I was watching Spencer’s boss’ son the other day and it made me realise that I would love to work with children and I have a teaching degree that I never did anything with and I talked to Spence about it and he talked to his boss about getting my record sealed and we’re suppose to go meet with him tomorrow but I don’t think it’s a good idea anymore.

Dr: Why not?

A: What if something happens? I can’t be close to people I can hurt.

Dr: You’re not going to hurt anyone, I promise you that and I think it would be good if you got to do something, you can’t just stay at home right?

A: I know but... (He was cut off)

Dr: No buts, you go to that meeting tomorrow and you fight for yourself okay? You’re not going to get out of this. It’s good that you want to get yourself a job. It’s a very big step.

A: So you think it’s a good idea?

Dr: I think it’s an excellent idea.

A: Okay, thank you for everything.

Dr: No problem. Call me and tell me how it goes okay?

A: I will and thank you again.

Dr: Anytime. Good night.

A: Good night.  

Monday Morning...

A: Spence hurry up, we can’t be late.

S: Love, we won’t be late. Let me just grab my things and then we can leave.

A: Just hurry up okay.

S: I need coffee. (He said suddenly realising that he had forgotten to make any that morning when he woke up)

A: Just come out please. I already made coffee for you with the million’s of sugar you put into your coffee.
