Louis Pov
I woke up; my friend was right next to me.
- Maybe I shouldn't mention that- she said
- Yeah, but… he is alive?
- Fully, luckily for him, he just blew his cheekbone off, not his head- my friend explain- he was very nervous, and the shoot didn´t get his head, not collateral damage, just some reconstruction surgery- she check her IPad- He is fine now
- Are you aware, there is a big group of people that has mourn the death of an extraordinary boy- I tell her getting mad
- We are, but also Ashton it's a curious case because
- He is a person!- I scream- He isn´t just a “curious case” he is an actual person that have a lot of family and friends that care about him and his condition, and all of them think he is dead!- I scream
- This was a mistake- my friend shook her head
- No!- I told her holding her arm- This is the truth, and I´ll do whatever idiotic test you want me to do, so I can at least see Ashton!
- Louis, have in mind we only want Ashton's wealth, leaving him out the facilities in his condition would increase the risk of a successful suicide- she said concerned- You know what are some of his problems?- I shook my head no
- He does not only have Stockholm Syndrome, he has chronic depression, low self-esteem, deep cuts on both wrists and PTSD meaning post-traumatic stress disorder- I cover my mouth, I wasn´t aware this could be so hard for him- You want to know the difference between you and him?
- Yeah- I said
- Your PTSD was normal, you process all your emotions, and although it's still hard and may have some scars, you come out of it, and in a few years, maybe you will be fully recover. Ashton, in the other hand, can´t process the emotions and remains in a psychological shock.
- Can I help?- I said, feeling guilty for acting like a little brat, not acknowledging that I was lucky after all
- As a matter of fact, you can- she told me with a comforting smile- For Ashton's treatment we are going to use a trauma-focused cognitive-behavioral therapy- she look at her IPad again- We are going to expose him little by little to events, faces and feelings that may remind him of the trauma, and try to change them into more balances thoughts.
- Sounds complicated
- It is, but everyone that was in that room needs to help, Ashton needs all of you guys- she then look sad- But, to help him you won´t be able to see Harry for a while
- What do you mean?- I wanted to help Ashton, there was no doubt about that, but I didn´t want to let go of Harry
- Harry is right now, what we like to call, the last step- she illustrates- this implies that when Ashton would be in a stable state, then we can insert Harry and his reaction won´t be a bad one
- So, this means he is afraid of Harry?
- No, it just means that the memory of Harry he have is, well… the last person he spoke with before dying
- But he didn´t really die- I say still a little in shock
- He is alive, and very well. His surgery came out successful, right now he is starting the therapy, but he just sees 3 doctors
