Chapter 21 - Painful

"Hmmm...just a bit dizzy. Sorry."

"No! Listen to me! You never apologize to me again. I know you can't help it. Now, you just sit there, I'll get you a glass of water. Where's your pills?"

"Lilly, you don't have to do this...really."

"Yes, I do and I want to look after you. Please, give me this." Your eyes water a little but you push the tears back. You don't want Jack to see you so vulnerable. You need to be strong for him

"Okay...hmm...in the bathroom. It's the ones-"

"I've got it."

"How did you know which ones?"

"My mom drank a lot of those."

"Lilly...shit, I keep messing up. I'm sorry, I forgot about your Mom."

"Don't worry Jack. I'm really over the grief. The memories come and goes. Maybe more now but it's not all bad"

"I've probably caused you a lot of pained memories." You walk closer to Jack. You put your hands on the sides of his face and force him to look at you.
