Chapter 9

�So, why do you want to end your life?  You have and can have everything and anything you want.  What is it that makes you feel so bad, you feel you shouldn�t live?�  Dr. Maloney asked Nick.  For the past 2 weeks that AJ had been there, Nick had been slowly starting to participate in group therapy.
AJ looked at Nick. This was exactly what he wanted to know, what all the guys wanted to know.  Then they can start to get him better.

�I-I just felt lonely.�  Nick said.  � And I felt like my life was out of my control, like I was property or others to command, and if I didn�t obey I�d have to suffer these outrageous consequences.  Like I was a child.  And I fell that, I'm just a puppet, that�s only t here when people wanted me or something from me.  Like nobody wants me, because of me.  They want me because of what I am, and what I can offer.  I just couldn�t take it anymore.  Every night after a concert or whenever  I'd lay in bed, and just, cry.  I felt powerless over my own self.�  Nick said, tears falling down his cheek freely.

AJ got up and walked to him.  Bending over to embrace Nick, tears also falling from his eyes.  Everyone in the group was silent, all watching Nick and AJ.  Tears also coming down their eyes.
Nick tried to regain his composure, once he realized he couldn�t he ran out of the room.

�Nick!�  AJ shouted. But Nick didn't come back. AJ sat in Nicks� chair and looked at Dr. Maloney.

�Now he can begin to recover.�  Dr. Maloney told him.  Everyone in the room left, leaving AJ sitting there still.  A smile on his face.  � Now he can get better.�  He thought to himself.
