Talking. Everybody wants her to talk, but nobody wants to listen. Everybody wants to draw out what the “truth” is, what really happened up on that mountain that night, but what they fail to realize--refuse to realize--is that she’s handing them the truth every time they ask.
She’s not dealing with fabricated memories to deal with the trauma (she has booze for that, thank you very much).
Yet she still cycles through therapists, psychiatrists, anybody her parents think will be able to help her. What she needs are her friends. The people that spent that awful night alongside her who she can count on to remind her that she’s not insane, she’s not insane, she’s not insane--
The redhead looks up, noticing the numerous pairs of eyes staring at her, attention focused in a way that makes Ashley want to shrivel up in the chair. The newest method they’re putting her through is group therapy. Instead of letting her see her friends ( “I don’t think they’re able to really help you heal by encouraging your delusions...” ) they make her sit amongst strangers.
