He said our bed, Isabel thought as she made her way back through the apartment. The need to run was threatening to overtake her until he said that. Micah hadn’t given up on her yet. He didn’t forgive her for lying, but it was a start. Dealing with the stress of everything was going to be the hardest part. Her mind was running through every worst-case scenario she could think of. Being with Micah always helped her keep her thoughts straight. From the day she walked into his office, his presence always helped her feel calm. Dealing with so much drama attached to a man she trusted at such a young age left a lasting effect. She had a hard time trusting other people, but the worst of it was she didn’t trust herself. Her poor judgement and bad decisions placed her in that situation all those years ago.

She made her way to the guest bedroom, knowing she needed to get her phone and something to help her sleep. Picking up the bottle of water on the nightstand, she went to the bathroom and opened the drawer where she had been hiding all of her medications. She sat down and pulled them out, looking for a sleeping pill to help her get through the night.

“What’s all that?”

Isabel jumped at the sound of Micah’s voice behind her.

“Prescriptions I take. I didn’t think you would be done so quickly.”

“I saw you come in here and I wanted to make sure you weren’t leaving.”

“I’m not.”

“Good,” he said, stepping forward and picking up one of the bottles from in front of her, “Why do you take all these? Are you sick Izzy?”

“No, not sick.”

“Then what is it?” he asked, moving the bottle around in his hand to read the label, “You take these every day?”

“That one I do, actually I take these daily. There are others that are as needed, but it kind of depends on how I’m feeling.”

“This says it’s for anxiety?”

Isabel looked away, as if tonight wasn’t hard enough now she had to explain what a mess she was too. She bit her lower lip and looked up in his direction. The pain centered her as she looked up at Micah. His eyes were narrowed, as if he was confused, and he slowly placed the pill bottle back on the counter in front of her.

“I’ve been diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder and Severe Anxiety for years now. It causes me to have trouble sleeping at times and I’ve been known to have a panic attack or two, but it doesn’t get in the way of my work. I can recognize the signs now, and with practice, I’ve learned to regulate myself so I can move forward.”

“Your work? Izzy, I don’t care about that. You are sitting here telling me you have been battling mental health issues for as long as I’ve known you and I never knew? I considered us friends, and I was clueless.”

“Then I guess that means the pills are still working,” she said with a small smile.
