*Trisha*

It's been three days since Jonah talked to or seen Nate. He is good at holding grudges. But I can't blame the guy. Nate can be an ass sometimes. Jonah doesn't put up with his bullshit.

"This is really happening." Casey turns up the volume on the TV while Jonah hands her a cup of coffee.  The news about Mila joining us on tour has hit the papers.

"Oh, it's happening." I shake my head, watching it all unfold from the comfort of Nate's couch.

"Have you talked to Nate at all?" Jonah asks.

I can tell he wants to know how his patient is doing without actually reaching out to him. I don't blame him for giving Nate the silent treatment. What I don't understand is why Nate is giving ME the silent treatment.

"No. I tried calling a few times, but he's ignoring me right now. He's trying to prove a point or something since I never go to the Avalon."

"Tell me again why you don't visit him? You go there anyway," Evan pries from the kitchen counter while sipping his coffee.

"Listen, it's bad enough I have to go there for my counseling, then to have to bump into Dave occasionally.... I rather not."

"I didn't know you went there for counseling." Casey raises a brow, and Jonah cocks his head to the side. At that moment I realize only Evan was aware of my appointments with Jeremy.

"Please tell me you don't-" Jonah doesn't need to finish his sentence. I know what he's asking, and he knows my answer.

"I don't have a choice. No one else could get me in and as much as I hate the prick, Jeremy Donovan is a smart doctor. I need to do this. I've been having some.... issues... since the accident." I rather not go into details. They know I have panic attacks when driving. I don't need to tell them I also sometimes wake up with nightmares too. "Please don't tell Nate. We will be gone soon. I just want to get a little help until then."

Both Jonah and Casey nod. They get it. They also know I don't want to stress Nate out anymore and this would for certain worry him.

"What's going to happen with this whole Mila thing?" Casey quickly changes the topic for me and continues watching the news. Nate's tour schedule is currently on display as well as ticket sales that have skyrocketed even further since fans have heard Mila will be his plus-1.

"I guess she's going to travel with us.  Take Moretti's place.  I'm not sure what Richard has up his sleeve just yet. I can't tell if he wants this to be another PR stunt where they are to be a couple or just part of filming the music video." I explain. "It will be weird having her with us but to be honest, Mila is actually really nice and fun to be around. Thanks to her baseball player boyfriend she's learned more English so there isn't as much of a communication barrier like before."

I can tell Jonah can read me like a book right now by the way he is looking at me.

"Fine. And less drama. Is that what you want to hear?" I roll my eyes.

"Not less.  Different drama. She got into Nate's head. He started drinking when he was with her. And the way he treated Julia, Trish, it was awful. Don't forget how he was." Jonah huffs.

"I'm sorry.  I'm a little lost here." Evan admits. He knew some stuff but not all. After Jonah and Casey filled him in, as well as reminding me how bad things got, Evan lets out a dramatic sigh.
