A Life to Love

Chapter 6

Time skip back to the cabin

Patches POV

I wake up, I know boring line right? Anyways I wake up in a surprisingly comfy bed, but it's not my bed, or the guest bed in our dorms it doesn't feel right, if that makes any sense. I opened my eyes, and look around. I see wood walls, a white window that looks to be completely frosted over which is weird, I should be in my dorm room or couch, yeah I should be on the couch where the hell am I? I look around and I see I have nothing on but my boxers. I quickly yelp and get out of bed and try and find my clothes. I find a pile of clothes in a folded up pile on a dresser, a log dresser out of all things.

"Where the hell am I?" I ask quietly

I step towards the door and I can hear the floorboards creaking from under me and I cringe to myself trying not to wake anyone else up. I walk outside my bedroom door and see the couch where Connor and Daphne are cuddled. I have a tear roll down my cheek because all of it hits me again but I decide to be strong for storm. I visited him a while ago and he said "Please leave" I don't know why he wanted me to leave so much, we were married but yet he wanted me to leave

I shook that thought from my head and begin to shake Connor awake but leave Daphni sleeping, she looks nice sleeping so peacefully and I know they have cared for me a lot this past week or so, so I want to let her sleep but I need to wake up Connor to figure out what the hell is going on. He wakes up after I shake him a few times

"Yo what's up" he asks in a groggy voice obviously still very tired

"Where are we?" I ask curiously at him my ears perked back a little my tail between my legs

"Log cabin in the woods 20 miles away from university, thought we could use some time away from everything" he says and starts to shake Daphni awake

"Hey Patches" She says when she wakes

"Hey, thanks for caring for me over the week" I say a little embarrassed a small blush on my cheeks

"No problem what are friends for?" they both reply and it makes me feel good inside that I have these two people as my friends

They get up eventually and we get food going, they brought me some leftover Denny's and I ate it all gladly, they even remembered to get bacon not sausage. After we spend 30ish minutes eating our food and getting prepared for the day we packed our stuff and put it in the car but decide to go swimming, only problem was none of us had bathing suits.

"Why don't we just do it naked?" suggested Connor smiling who was quickly smacked across the face by Daphni

"Stop trying to get me naked" she says and seemed a little angry and a little amused at the same time

"How about underwear?" I suggest taking off my clothes to my boxers in front of them embarrassed blushing

"Sure, that's fine lets go swim!" yelled Connor stripping off his clothes but his jockstrap and running off towards the lake

I have to admit he looked kind of cute and the jockstrap left nothing to the imagination but I was married to Storm and would be loyal to him always. After like 4 hours of us swimming, and Connors jock strap falling off, we got into the car and drove us home it seemed a bit early but I didn't really care today was the best

"Hey Patches, I should've told you this earlier but the University has required you to take a session of Mandatory Therapy, to make sure your still doing alright in an hour when we get back" Connor says while driving

"o-okay" I say a little scared I didn't really want to talk to anyone else about what happened

We get there and they dropped me off, apparently the university has therapists for this, I don't know how often this happens but It has to happen more than I thought for the university to hire therapists and have regulations on this sort of thing. I go inside and they sat me down and told me to wait for my name to be called. Around half an hour later it is and I walk into a small white room with a little painting of a tree on a wall, and a picture of a bunch of paint blobs on another wall.

At the center of the room an orange and white fox sits there with a notebook that has my name labeled on it.

"Ah, Mr. Shadow please sit down" He says "My name is Mr. Randall, I'll be your therapist for the next 3 hour session, would you like to tell me why your here, keep in mind I have why the university sent you here but I want to hear from you why you think your heart" He says a sad smile on his face

"W-well, I'm sorry if I'm a bit nervous I just hate socializing with people right now." I say a bit ashamed

"That's okay, Mr. Shadow take all the time you need" He says and looks at me

"W-well I guess I'm here because my husband tried to commit suicide, failed luckily and now they want to make sure I'm emotionally stable to return to class so that I won't shoot up the university or anything or try and take my own life or something like that" I say a bit of anger in my voice at the end

"Well, you had the first part right, your here because Mr. Storm tried to kill himself, but the University wants to make sure you are okay. Mr. Shadow the University cares about its students and they want to make sure you are okay, yes they also want to make sure that you won't shoot it up but they also care about its students." He says smiling again

"okay" Is all I can reply back

The next 3 hours are a blur, we talk about what happened in detail, what I've been doing since, my hospital record because apparently the University found out that I passed out from shock and could've died. At the end I felt relieved talking to this guy really helped and he told me I could schedule him regularly so I did, he was cheap too, the first appointment was paid by the University, but I found that the next would only cost me 10$.

After that I decided I had enough of today and I went back to my dorm, They finished cleaning my room from everything so I walked in and sadness hit me, this is where it happened. I had to get past it he was alive and perfectly fine, he would talk to me sooner or later but I had to believe. I just went over to the bed got out one of his favorite stuffed animals that he brought along with us to University and cuddled it to sleep, falling into a peaceful sleep, the first peaceful sleep I've had in a long time.

Storm's POV

I wake up so cold, so very very cold. I'm in an old concrete building that the state calls a mental facility. They told me it won't be bad just some group activities, talking with a doctor every night and every morning and food, and the meds, woo I know right meds. Anyway I start off my day by talking to the really fat bear they call a doctor. He was really boring and seemed like he didn't want to be there. He asked questions, seemed to think of me as a scum of the earth just because I tried to take my life.

Anyways after that boring hour and a half I went to a group activity where they make us paint, play games, and do other social activities, I was so bored but they forced us to play. They threatened to keep me here longer if I didn't cooperate so I did, I did it for Patches so I could go home to my handsome husband and just lay with him, explain everything to him, why I did it. I just had that thought in my head the entire day going through all these activities and exercises I just thought about that.

I did yoga for another hour and then back to the therapist for another hour of hell. I thought it would be hell anyway, I don't know what happened but he seemed to have gotten some sense smacked into him because he was finally actually paying attention to me and giving me serious answers and questions. After that session I felt better and went to bed wanting to so badly be in Patches arms. I dreamed of the day, just 6 more days then I can be with him again, that's if he will even take me back. I did a lot of things I don't know if he will want me back. These thoughts followed me into sleep where I slept peacefully about my future and about Patches.

Patches Dream

It was the wedding day, the day we both said our vows and promised to be with each other to the end, I miss that day so much because that was when Storm was happy, I don't know what got to him but that was the last true day he was happy.

I then got sucked to our first day we met, on the bus where he said hi to me and sat next to me, then when we asked each other out, then the hospital room after his brother happened, and then all these good memories came in and out, some bad like the first time he jumped but mostly good it made me happy and I slept peacefully again, not wanting to wait for Storm to be returned to me where I would hug and kiss him for as long as I can.
