Aeryn had a one on one session with Jamie. She actually saw this as the high point of her day.
She went to the therapy room and smiled as she went and took a seat. she knew that she was actually looking forward to helping Jamie. she wanted her to be as sane as she could be and to go and have a productive life.
She wondered if someone had given her the chance to would her sister have been able to?
She would never know as she went to doodling a moment on a pad of paper. The work week had been stressful really very much so.
She had another group session later with Cameron and Chuckles and the new girl Drusilla.
She wondered if it was going to be a disaster she hoped not. She would not think on that now however as she waited and smiled.
she hoped she did help jamie and make all her work worthwhile. She shook her head. she was feeling a little bit under the weather and had been for a few weeks now. she hoped she wasn't coming down with a cold. She then coughed and she knew that if she was she wqould have to take some extra vitamin c. she didnt want to give her cold to anyone after all.

Jamie came in quietly, the guard that had been following her went to a corner as Jamie sat down. Jamie tried to smiled a little to Aeryn, but all she accomplished was looking even more shaken. It had only been a few days since Jamie's run in with Chuckles but the girl was still jumpy...

Aeryn looked up and smiled then she said to the guard nicely.
"It's ok go ahead if you want and have a coffee break alright?"
She then asked the man to leave as he did she relaxed.
So have a seat and how are you doing?"
it hadn't been lost on aeryn that the guard had blue eyes and she knew that blue eyes were a trigger for Jamie.
"i think that maybe you know we should make the guards wear sunglasses some of them anyways. feeling any better? how about a soda or a candy bar? i think i have some stashed here someplace. "

"No, I'm alright, thanks..." she said quietly. Jamie had been slightly tense with the guard and she nodded a little at the idea of the guards wearing sunglasses. was she ok? "A little tense I guess..." she said quietly. After Chuckles, that was excellent for her, being tense and not sinking into some deep depression...

Aeryn nodded as she then she gestured to the tape recorder and she turned it off.
"Off the record i am proud of you, tense is better than you reverse into. "
She then shook her head. as she did she grabbed a milky way and opened it.
"So about us working on the reason you are here, i know that as a therapist I am suppose to ask you about.. well things your not ready to speak about to me yet. I want you to always feel free to ask for me if you need someone to talk to and I'll come really if i'm not in a session with.. well people who are not popular with either of us."
she then looked down at her paper and shook her head.
"You know I hate these questions they give me to ask you"
She then rubbed her temple.
" I hate asking you these i really do but they want to know.. i mean it's my job but i am human as well as you are too so. I think that question #1 is gonna be for the moment excluded. The second question here is to ask you to tell me about your childhood"

Jamie sighed slightly, laying her chin on her hands, which were on the table. "Well........I was kinda raised by the nanny in the house, then I was sent to boarding school for a little while before I came home for highschool....and then I came here...There wasn't really much to it...' she said, shrugging, her eyes sleepy...

Aeryn was quiet as she was listtening to Jamie and she nodded as she for a moment took a bite of her candy bar. She understood where Jamie was coming from.
She then smiled a moment. In doing so she just mentally thought of her own family. She had not seen her parents much except when they had company and wanted to parade their perfect little girls around showing them off like pedigreed animals.
"my parents they were wealthy also, treated me and my sister like show animals we were only good or atleast when we were little it seemed when they wanted to impress a client so i can relate to being raised by a governess. In my case I was shipped at boardingschool at age 7 because my mother was convinced that I was to not associate with those lesser than her standards."
Aeryn shook her head a moment. Truth was her mother was such a stuck up snob that she never even hugged her own children in case they would accidently smudge her or something.
"I won't therefore ask how that felt since I think I got the general idea, my mum for instance would never hug me and she died never hugging me once even."
Aeryn then pushed her glasses back up on the bridge of her nose.
"Are you getting enough rest? i mean i know that you must be sleeping uneasy perhaps, if you would like to take a nap now it'll be alright really. Or if there is anything i can do to help you get to sleep then please let me know alright?"

Jamie was glad a little that Aeryn didn't ask for her feelings on her childhood. In reality, now that she had looked back on it, it was quite depressing. Jamie repressed a sigh. The thought of sleep was tempting. Dark rings were under Jamie's eyes. "No, I'll last until we're done.." Jamie said quietly. what would help her sleep? A nice quiet place or some sedatives..The other patient's moaning and screaming had kept Jamie up a lot lately. "Could I be moved to a quieter section of inmates?" she asked, though there wasn't really a quieter section of the asylum. A hint of sarcasm and humor colored Jamie's voice as she thought about sleep.Blessed sleep, her diminishing companion and longed for friend....
Jamie had been so high strung that she had had nightmares every night of the week following Chuckle's assault on her that she hadn't slept for an hour straight. She would drift off to sleep for 30 minutes at a crack then she would sit up abruptly, a little sweaty and terrified, and unable to sleep for a few more hours.

Aeryn was quiet a moment. She hated seeing anyone like this, she took a sighing breath a moment.
I wish there was but no I can see if maybe your room was more soundproffed perhaps but other than putting you in a padded room and no I don't think you need to be put in a padded room your not that crazy and to lie and say you were wouldn't help you in the slightest Jamie."
She for a moment was quiet as she was she then wondered.
"Have you, that is has he been in your dreams as well? I know that.. He gives me nightmares myself even."

"What, no padded room?" Jamie asked sarcastically, smiling a little bit. "That sounds nice though, I could sleep standing up.." she said jokingly, though her voice was still tired. Dive he give her nightmares? Hell yes.. "Him and others.." Jamie said quietly, her smile gone.. She sighed slightly, almost yawning. "He gives you nightmares too?" she asked, interested. She had never thought that maybe other people had nightmares too...

Aeryn nodded quietly.

Sometimes it's.. His voice is creepy
She then bit her lip as she felt nauseated for a moment.
(sorry it's short and sucks but still lol semi waking up)

(( going through the same thing, so I know what you're talking about lol))
Jamie nodded a little. Aeryn was lucky in her eyes, Jamie had much worse nightmares than her. She shuddered at the thought, becoming a little tense again as she sat up again, crossing her arms over her chest. She glanced at Aeryn, tearing her eyes from the guard glaring at her outside the room. "Are you ok?" she asked, her voice hushed....

yeah I think I'm coming down with a cold kinda feeling nauseated at the moment honestly.
She just for a moment rubbed her stomach then she laughed.
yeah I think i have a cold as she said this she sneezed and shook her head. She went to her prescription pad and she wrote down something as she did she replied.
I hate giving pills of any sort but here I think that these will help, I'll have them added to your bedtime routine.
she then smiled a moment.
It wasn't as if Jamie didn't have people watching out for her,She had noticed that Cameron seemed to and as well as the weaker people when he was around as if he was their protector. She would not comment on this because she wasn't sure if Jamie knew or not.

Jamie smiled a little. "Thank you..." she said quietly. "It might be more than a cold though..." Jamie said, thinking about the sickness that was running through the other patients. She had heard them complaining of queasy stomachs in the rec room, one had already passed out, and Jamie had decided to give them a wide berth of space, not that she hadn't done that before but now she stayed in her room whenever she could. "You seriously might want to take some antibiotics.." she said quietly. She had no clue that Cameron was watching out for her. She had been so caught up in her own world lately that she barely noticed anything...

Aeryn nodded. yeah i don't want to spread it to anyone if i do and i dont want to scare residents if i were to have and wear a surgical mask because time off and sick days are real career suicide around here believe me," She actually twitched a moment at that statement.
"So yeah i think i'll go to my doctor and get a check up. So i will have them add this to your nightly routine of medication it's a mild sleeping pill not addictive ."
Aeryn then rubbed her eyes.
"Alright so i never did ask how is the art theraphy coming? I mean i know that some of the residents they go to it are you doing that as well or just for the moment still feeling shy, I mean it's ok if you are thats normal."
