"I know you aren't. I'm going to sww mine tomorrow and I'll tell them everything. Maybe they can fix me."
"Recover, perhaps." Phil is putting the sliced apples in a large bowl as he cuts them, getting a lemon out of the fridge.

"I know you aren't. I'm going to sww mine tomorrow and I'll tell them everything. Maybe they can fix me."
"Recover, perhaps." Phil is putting the sliced apples in a large bowl as he cuts them, getting a lemon out of the fridge.
"I don't know how to just breathe and its killing me."
Phil just gave him a concerned look for a moment. "I'm not a therapist. I'm afraid to say the wrong thing."
"I know, I know. I just.... working like I do, it's how I cope. Its how I coped when Peter died."
"Life is worth more than coping. I've lived my work and enjoyed it, but you need to be able to breathe, sometimes."
"Okay. I hate being such a wreck. I know I need the leave, but I don't want it."
"You try to be a good employee and you have a sense of duty. Still, if you don't take time to fix yourself, you're just going to wreck very early."
"I know." He drummed his fingers on his leg before shrugging. "Pick one. I don't really care."
"Let's just go with normal apple." He has a bowl full of apples on the counter, mixed types, and grabbed it, going about chopping them up for the filling.
"There's times I don't want to be here. I got hurt and messed up because of one of those times. I pushed a kid out the way of a car and I was hoping it'd kill me."
"This is why I don't want you off psych leave yet." Phil admitted. "Now, what kind of pie would you like? I think I have the ingredients onhand for apple, blueberry or lemon meringue. If you motivate me I could even try an apple rose pie."
"I've barely made it this far. There were times I thought it was all over and I was entirely okay with that."
Phil paused then stepped over, setting his hands on Theo's shoulders. "I've been there. I know how you feel. The important part is, you're still here, and things will get better."
"Yeah. I still kinda feel like I've missed out on some major part of my life."
"You're young and you've made it this far." Phil dumped a ball of dough out onto plastic wrap and wrapped it up, putting it in the fridge. "It's unfortunate and I am sorry you've had to go through that, but all we can do is try to improve the future."
