Jody walked into Kay’s room, and paused in surprise, maybe she had the wrong room. She looked at the number on the door, and then checked her chart, sure enough Katherine Bennett Rm. 345. But this couldn’t be her patients room, because it was 1. filled with flowers and 2., her patient didn’t smile, scowl pout, and glare yes, but Kay Bennett had never in their short history smiled.

Jody picked up one of the cards, and nodded. The flowers were from Gwen and Ethan, which were explainable; Kay liked her brother and sister-in-law, and wouldn’t want to hurt their feelings, at least she hoped that was it. But the smiling person sitting in Kay’s bed couldn’t be explained, not by anything short of hallucinogens. “ Kay?”

“ Yes?” Kay stopped laughing, and put down the book she was reading, and looked at her doctor with building annoyance. “ What?”

“ What are you doing?”

Kay held up her book for Jody to see, and upon seeing the blank look explained further.” I’m reading, it’s Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkaban, it’s a great book.”

The doctor gave an annoyed grunt, and glared at her patient.“ I know that, I’ve read it four times, I was wondering why you were reading it, you come off as the a cynical pessimist, not at all open enough for the whimsical world of Harry Potter.” She took out the visitor’s chair, and set it by the bed. “ You seem more the Dickens type, or Shakespeare all depressing, and full of death.”

“ That’s exactly why, I’m reading it.” Kay sat down the book. “ I started reading the series when it first came out, but someone told it me it was silly, so I stopped, but then it struck as stupid, why should I stop reading a book I enjoyed just because someone else didn’t like it.” She looked to her doctor for approval.” Right?”

Jody nodded, but remained quiet, Kay seemed quieter calmer, then she had during their previous meetings.

“ I’ve been doing that for a while now, going along with what someone else thinks is a good idea, or doing something because I think that’s the way it’s suppose to be.” “ I haven’t been listening to my conscience or that little voice inside that knows your hearts content, I’ve been neglecting myself really.” “ I mean all this things I’ve done were in the name of love, but it was deluded version of love, more like an obsession multiplied by ten, and added on top of a crush.”

“ What things?” She asked tentatively not wanting to pushing, but looking for a deeper insight.

“ You wouldn’t believe me if I told you.”

“ Try me.”

Kay looked at Jody thoughtfully, for some reason she trusted Dr. McKoy, she seemed more insightful then other people, like she could see beyond the usual crap and B.S. that people tried to pull. But what really convinced Kay was her eyes, blue eyes that spoke of perseverance and pain, like she had already won several battles and was ready for more. “ First, I need you to close the door, and make sure it’s locked.”

“ Ok.” Jody quickly walked to the door, and checked outside before she closed the door, locking it, and then retaking her seat.” What you got?”

“ Okay, when I was sixteen I developed a crush on my best friend Miguel, Antonio’s little brother, he was my best friend, we were inseparable, people said Kay and Miguel like it was one name, and for a while he was getting those feelings for me too, it would have been perfect except for the fact that right before he was going to ask me out, he fell in love with my cousin.” “ Kay took a minute, and took a sip of water form her cup before looking at Jody.” Let me just say that no matter what, I think Charity is nuts, and no matter how crazy you think I am, I know that she twice Looney, but for some strange unthinkable reason he’s in love with her.” “ They fell in love at first sight, and not matter what I did, they just fell deeper in love, and I tried everything.” Charity’s mother, my aunt Faith dies in a fire it left Charity with amnesia, shortly after that she started having this visions or premonitions, seeing things that hadn’t happened or hadn’t happened yet, anyway there was this statue that seemed to bring on her visions.” “ Well my parents were starting to get worried about her, thinking she was losing it, and I kind of helped it along.”

“ Helped it along?”

“ I hide the statue in her room, and like I predicted, it drove her crazy, we had to put her away.”

“ You had your cousin committed?”

Kay sat up straighten, and jumped to the defensive.“ Hey it was for her own good.” “ Anyway that doesn’t matter because it didn’t work, he fell more in love with the little freak, so I made another plan. We were having our prom on a deserted fishing boat, and Charity was up for prom queen, and I se t up a little treat for her, when she was crown I rigged a bucket of fish guts to full on her, kind like in that movie Carrie, but then things went all crazy and we hit this weird storm that sank the boat.”

“ Your prom boat sank, like the titanic?”

“ Yeah, that wasn’t my fault, I don’t know what happened there, but still nothing happened, they got stronger.” “ It was then that I started to get desperate, I met this woman named Hecuba, she was a witch…” Kay turned her head, and checked out Jody reaction, but found the doctor didn’t look at all fazed. “ I said witch.”

“ I know.”

“ Okay, anyway Hecuba told me that all I had to do to get Miguel was sell my soul, so I did.” “ Things didn’t work out like they suppose to thought, to get Miguel I had to sane Charity to hell, which I also did, but the idiot actually followed her into HELL, so naturally I followed him. I mean after all I did, I couldn’t just let him to in hell.” “ I know I sounds dumb that I followed him, but right before he jumped n I told him I loved him, and he said he loved me too, and then he kissed me, and in that moment I knew I was doing the right thing.” “ We got out, by he grace of God, and I later got my soul back, but I didn’t stop pursuing him.” “ I talked to my next door neighbor, this strange old lady, that my friend Reese thinks is also a witch, which is very possible, when I think about it, and she gave me this book, that she said could help, and it did kinda.” “ There was this spell that said it could get rid of my competition, I said it and it froze Charity in a block of ice, and created this zombie Charity, that followed my orders.” “ Except she didn’t she decided she liked the idea of killing Miguel better, but she couldn’t really fool him, he started noticing the differences between her and the real Charity, so the zombie stole some of Charity’s essence and was going to wear it to seduce Miguel, once they slept together he’d died, but somehow the real Charity got out and destroyed the zombie, and I found the essence.” “ You following all this?”

“ Yup.” And the strange thing was that she was following all this. Jody had only felt a slight twinge of disbelief when Kay had started talking, but the honesty in her voice couldn't be faked, either it was all true, or she truly believed it was all true. Unfortunately, no matter how often Jody said she thought Kay was crazy; she knew it wasn’t the case. “ Going on, I’m with you.”

“ Okay I found the essence, I knew I should dump it, but I just thought that If I slept with Miguel he would discover that he really did love me, but that didn’t happen, we sleep together, and Miguel thought it was a mistake, he said it a dozen times.” “ Now, I’m inclined to agreed with him, and to think I did all that for nothing, I’m not in love with him, and right now I can’t stand him.” “ So now that you know the whole story what do you think of me now?”

Jody watched Kay tense, waiting for the rejection, like it was expected. It struck her that Kay had been rejected several times in her life, and not just by Miguel Lopez-Fitzgerald, probably by her mother. A familiar feeling settled in Jody’s stomach. and she gave the young woman a confronting smile, and wink. “ I think that you’re a string person, Kay I don’t know many people that could have survive what you’ve survived, and I’m proud to know you.”

Kay's jaw dropped and she shook her head.” You’re not going to call me an evil person, and that I deserve to rot in hell.”

“ Kay, I’m not perfect, or I’m not God, and as far I as I know, I’d have to meet one of these criteria to be able to judge you.”

A knock at the door, had both women turning toward it, Jody walked over to the window, and checked between the blinds, before turning back to Kay.” It’s Antonio, I need to borrow him for a minute, but then you can have him back.”

“ You can keep him.” Kay said as she picked up her book, and began reading again.

Jody opened the door, and pushed back Antonio, who was already waiting to enter. “ Hold on a minute, I have proposition to put to you?”

“ Okay.” Antonio leaned against the door, and waited while the confident doctor, he knew paced in front of him.

“ I just brought a house, about ten minutes away from here, it’s huge house to big for one person, and I was wondering if….”

“ Yeah.”

“ If you would like to move in with me?”
