Dr.Charles clicks off the video and Harper stands there unable to speak. Things have just been so overwhelming and her eyes start to flood with tears
*Harpers POV*
As I stood there and took all the video in. I realised that, that was my husband sitting in that chair. My husband thinking i was bored of him. My husband begging for more pills. Was I really that bad of a wife to let this all happen.
*Present day*
"Harper?" Dr.Charles asks
"Uhh yeah" Harper replies snapping out of it
"Do you wanna see him?" Dr.Charles asks
"Yeah I do" Harper replies as dr.Charles leads her into Kelly's room
Harper can see Kelly sitting on the edge of his bed with his knees touching his chin. Dr.Charles shuts the door behind him and Harper smiles at Kelly
"Hey" Harper says trying not to show her emotions
"You did this" Kelly replies still looking at the wall
"What?" Harper replies confused
"You did this to me! You may not have physically put the pills in my hand but you sure as hell drove me to them!" Kelly yells
"I-" Harper says not sure how to respond to that
"Your nothing but a two faced slut! That was so desperate for a husband that she slept with the first man she saw!" Kelly shouts as he slaps Harper across the face
"Yeah I'm gonna go" Harper says as she rushes out his room
Harper walks out and passes Dr.Charles
"He doesn't mean anything he says in there does he?" Harper asks as she stops him
"No he doesn't, he's going through the withdrawal period so he's not thinking straight" Dr.Charles replies as Harper nods and walks out
Harper arranges for Benny to take the kids for a week. So he decides to take them up to his cabin. Harper drives home with tears in her eyes. She finally gets home and opens the door. The house is pitch black and there's no a soul to be seen. It's quiet so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. Harper walks around to see a picture of Kelly and Aria when she was little. Harper smiles at it when she hears someone come in. She turns around to see Dawson
"How you holding up?" She asks
"It's so quiet here" Harper says as a tear rolls down her face
"I know honey" Dawson adds softly
"And I feel so alone! All of the memories have suddenly disappeared! I can't remember any good times here! I just can't!" Harper says in a panic
"They'll come back I promise" Dawson says as she smiles
"No this house no longer feels like home" Harper says replying the conversation she had with Kelly in her head
Harper drops to her knees and starts to sob. Casey appears next to Dawson and they exchange worried looks. They run over to Harper and hug her. Harper cries in their arms...
