Chapter 76 & 77 Hard Season/ We All Fall Down

*Trisha*

It's been a hard season for James and I want to be here to help him in any way I can. He just doesn't want my help lately. He doesn't open up to me, barely talks to anyone really, and I feel like maybe we are barely friends right now, never mind anything more.

Casey gets James ready for the day while I shower and then I try to help him with breakfast. James is so emotionally distraught lately he has a harder time eating and get much more frustrated and harder on himself. 

"I can do it myself." He pulls the spoon away from my hand and attempts to eat his yogurt. He doesn't want to be spoon fed, I don't blame him, but he certainly doesn't want my help either. So when he drops the spoon for the third time sending yogurt to splatter everywhere he drops his head.

"Jesus Christ." He mutters to himself while I clean up the mess as Nate comes home.

Casey ends up taking over and James cooperates more for her.

"Hey mate, how you holding up?"  Nate asks James as he leans down to pet the dog.

"I just want this to be over." James mumbles. "Hey. Do you think your driver could take me to my church at so-some point today? There's no services or anything like that. I just want to go."

"Yeah, man. I can text him right now to have him block off time today."

Jonah whizzes by me with Nate's medication and then checks his blood pressure.

"Hmm. It's a little high today." He furrows his brows and writes the numbers on a paper towel.

"I DO own paper, Jonah."

"Yeah yeah. How was Julia today? Anything stressful happen or are you just feeling anxious?"

"A little bit of both. She has a mouth on her with no filter when it comes to Donovan. One of these days he's going to snap."

"SHIT!" Casey jumps up as James begins to seize. "He's got a mouth full of food!"

The dog starts barking and Jonah jumps into action, swiping the bite of eggs from James's mouth and lowering him off his chair onto the floor on his side.

Oh my god. He's having a seizure with a mouth full of food. He could have choked! I begin to cry and cover my mouth. It wasn't long. Not long at all. Less than a minute but having food in his mouth freaked both me and Casey out because he could easily choke. Casey is now crying and heaving while watching the scene play out.

"He had food in his mouth." Casey whimpers as James comes to.

"He's fine Casey. We got it out." Jonah gives her a look of concern and Maggie disgustingly eats up the food on the floor.

"Mags, gross." James says to his dog.

"See!! This is why he can't go to jail! They can't take care of him!" I burst and storms out of the dining room and into Nate's room, slamming the door behind me. I can't take all this. It's too much.

*James*

"Shit." Jonah knows he's batter up since Casey is still crying. He helps me back on the chair and heads to Nate's room to talk to Trisha.

"She's right, though." I mutter while Nate helps me drink a little water. "If I have seizures now with this stress, 'magine what it will be like if I'm behind bars?"

"You're not going to be behind bars, ok Gallo? We have another meeting tomorrow morning with Addison. She'll tell us what to do."
