Chapter 25
Before I could say the words to anyone else, I needed to find out what love meant to me in that way. I knew what it was in a friendship and that meant more to me most times than love-love. We both finally moved when someone knocked on my bedroom door loud enough to startle us. I yelled out for them to go away and that we would be out in a moment, but they just were not giving up. Finally, I turned off the steam and warmer sauna and we left the comfort of the shower wrapping up in our robes. Once we had both wrapped up, I opened my bedroom door as the pounding came again wanting to beat whoever it was on the other side. "For fuck, sake...." I was jolted back when my father came through the door with what I assumed was the doctor they had called. "Cate please get some clothes and take it to the other room" my father Mr. hard ass asked of her.
Catherine looked at me for confirmation that it was ok to leave, and I nodded my head and she left us standing there in the middle of my room. I hated that I was in a robe and moved to my walk-in closet letting the robe fall as I entered not caring that my father and an extremely attractive woman were standing there. I was sure my father chose a woman thinking I would be comfortable with a woman instead of a man which drove me crazy. I just wanted everyone to leave me the hell alone and stop putting their 2 sense into my personal life. After what seemed like hours, I finally exited my closet with my father sitting in the chair near the balcony and the Dr. Sitting in another near the bedroom door. "Are you afraid I'm going to run? I have no idea what you want from me and why the hell you thought it was ok to pound on my bedroom door...." "Sis... calm down that is not just any doctor she is a specialist in not only psychotherapy but has some skills. Be careful what you say and..." Ethan says low and slow.
Dr. Beautiful was watching me and looking intrigued as she looked around the room and seemed to be listening very hard. Myself, and Ethan had completely shut up all together and I finally sat down on the edge of my bed to watch my father and the Dr. The Dr. finally looked at my father and smiled "Sir if you'd give us some alone time that would really help. You asked me to come here and see what I could do, and I think I can help a great deal, but she has to learn to trust me just like you did. As for your wife she is going to take a little longer and your daughter might be the same, but I need to find out first" she informed him. My father Ethan Sr. looked at me just as Catherine knocked on the door. "Jesus just get out.... I already know who and what she is. Pretty fucked up if you ask me though, since from what I'm understanding is that you've been seeing her for GODs only knows how long and now you brought her here for not only me but mother too. The woman looks to be my age or only a little older and well you could both fuck off to be honest. However, with that said I'll do you proud and hear her out" I bitched.
The moment my father opened the door in walked Greta with a tray of breakfast and Catherine still at the door. "She's a lot more, calmer if she gets something to eat. What she had earlier I’m sure has burned up by now" Greta says in a hurried tone putting the tray in the bed and touching my face with her soft hand. She gave me a wink and smiled letting me know everything would be alright and to just stay calm. 10 minutes after the bedroom door closed, I was still watching it with silence just filling the room and energy as well. I knew by the feeling that Ethan was still very much there, and it made me feel not so alone. "So.... I guess the sooner we get on with this the sooner you leave us all alone to get back to our summer" I say to Dr. Beautiful. The Dr. sat up straighter and opened her tablet typing something out which seemed to take forever as she made the clicking and ticking sounds on the keys driving me and Ethan both insane. "Mia let me first start off by introducing myself, I am Dr. Jasmine Finnerly. I am not here to make things more difficult, your father asked me to come here, but I'm about a week early. He called me late last night and told me it was an emergency and so here I am and here you are. You do not have to say anything you do not want, but I am curious how you feel about me being here. I also want to ask you something about what you said earlier about already knowing who I am? I am getting a lot of energy in here and I already know your brother is here. Your father told me about what happened in his office and your mother is in denial she is so closed off I cannot get a good hold on what she's going through. As for you I can see that there is a lot of confusion and uncertainty" Dr. Finnerly says talking like she knew everything.
Dr. Finnerly was really saying all the right words, but I wasn't sure what to say to anyone anymore because when I did, I just ended up hurting them no matter what I did. "I'm starting to think that it should be you here Ethan and me on the other side... I can't seem to stop hurting the people that love me and care about me, fuck I am not even good for myself anymore" I say to myself knowing Ethan could hear me. Ethan ramped up the energy but did not speak after he had already warned me once about the good doctor. "Well ma'am as for all your questions about how I feel about you, being here well... doesn't matter since I don't own this island or this property. Yes, I am uncertain about a lot of things right now from what college to go to, what's happening between my parents, who I am and where I am going next in my path of life. As for knowing who you are well, I do not know much just that you are a medium, psychotherapist, and are young so anyways that's about it. I guess you would like to know from my own words what happened in the office and what's been happening with me? Well, you are right I might be a little more open so that gives you a way in but until I'm ready to talk which I'm not... I guess you can leave me alone and find my parents or someone else to sink your teeth into" I say watching her just as close as she was watching me.
A few minutes later I finally started to pick at the food Greta had brought for me once the energy in the room had calmed down enough for me to breath. The food was still lukewarm which helped but was still pretty shut off from all emotions and wanting to talk. Ethan had even tried to get me to listen to him along with Dr. Finnerly who just sat watching me like I was some type of subject. After eating everything on my plate I got up from the bed with the tray and headed towards the door. "Ummm since you're here maybe you can be a medium and connect with others dead family instead of focusing on mine. So, if you want to follow me, we can head back to the main house and see what is happening" I say trying to find my manners that I had thanks to my parents. Dr. Finnerly followed close behind following me down the hall to the stairs and down we went.
We found the house empty, and I was not surprised though as we exited there Sebastian was standing watch. "Sir, how's the perimeter? Hope it's worth the time spent and money you're being paid, oh and where are my manners. Sir this is Dr. Finnerly and Finnerly meet my 24/7 sitter" I introduced them both in a tone that only told them both not to engage.
We walked the path-way with me leading the way while the other 2 followed close behind as we headed to the house taking the back steps heading into the kitchen. I could hear laughing from what sounded like tons of people and turned giving the Dr. a look of "well there you go.. go on now" and was happy she got it loud and clear. Sebastian did not say a word just stood near the back door with his eyes anywhere but on me. I knew he would only see me as a job and that's what I hated the most since our little fun games we had by the cliff and the kiss we shared. I rinsed and put the dishes in the washer and headed towards the sounds of laughter halting at the door so quickly Sebastian bumped right into the back of me.
It made me smile leaving me surprised when he groaned and stepped back but could tell he was fighting himself. I looked over my shoulder before walking through the door and smiled followed by what I thought was funny "Hope that was as good for you as it was for me." I was jolted backwards before completing my way through the kitchen/dining room door. “What the….” I yelped out as Sebastian had me by my waist. “M-i-a… what the hell was that…. You are the most frustrating, maddening, complicated, beautiful, mis-understood, young lady. I-I ugh forget it go on go…” Sebastian whispered hotly in my ear before letting me go and giving a little tap to my ass.
