Unexpected turn of events (the script, Glen Power fanfiction)

Chapter 29

"I can't do it." Kate muttered, scrunching up her face as she made a move to return back to her room. But Harry stopped her as he wrapped his hand around hers. "You can, just take a small moment. One step at the time remember. No one is going to force you." Harry reassured her, wrapping his arm around her shoulders.

"Will this ever stop?" Kate asked her brother as a tear rolled down her cheek as he went to wrap both his arms around her.

"One day at the time hun. It will get better, it's just going to take time Kate. No one here is out to harm you. We all know things aren't easy for you right now." Harry explained in an understanding tone as he rubbed his hand up and down her arm in a supporting manner.

"It won't stop." Kate sighed, pulling back from the hug to look up at Harry. "What won't stop?" Harry wondered, tilting her head with a questioning look.

"The noises, I can still here everything, the guns, the cries, the bombs exploding. I can't turn it off." Kate admitted, dropping her head to her chest whilst shaking her head from side to side.

"Have you told Charles?" Harry asked her as she nodded her head, she'd finally started to open up to her psychiatrist. It was hard and she always felt worse the first hour after he would be gone. But she could feel the change in her, it wasn't much and she'd only opened up two days ago. so she shouldn't be expecting any giant leaps.

"He says it'll stop with time, I don't want time, I want it to stop now." Kate told him in an almost desperate manner. She lifted her head to look up at Harry again.

"I can't even be a mum to Arthur anymore." Kate told him as she watched her five year old tumble around on the grass with his older brother. "Of course you can, he gets it that you're not well right now Kate. He may not understand all of it." Harry paused as he let out a small sigh whilst watching his god son tumble around on the grass, his infectious laughter filtering in through the French doors.

"I can't do it." Kate noted as she tried to get out of Harry's hold about to turn back to her room. "Come on, let's do it, if it hadn't been for you after Afghanistan, I don't know what I would have done or what could have happened." Harry told her in a supportive tone, knowing that one day they would have to push her a little to make progress. Back when Harry had hit a rough patch she'd been pregnant with Arthur and all alone. And after meeting Catherine who'd then introduced her to Harry. Harry had started to lean on Kate for support and Kate being her she had supported him any way she could. She'd been there for him, in whatever he needed, sometimes she would sit hours beside him not talking, just being there.

She'd listened when felt up to it and she hugged him when he needed it. And normally she would feel closer to William, both of them being the oldest, yet with William and Harry she was the youngest. But Harry's past experience helped her and they were becoming as close as they used to be before he'd met Meghan.

"Together like back then." Harry told her as she slowly nodded her head. she wasn't certain about it, but she was surrounded by family, most of her family from the Royals still had to arrive from what she'd seen. But a lot of their friends were already there and so was Glen's family and the lads.

As they walked into the sun, Kate hiding behind her shades, she looked towards Glen. God she'd been such a horrible girlfriend, a mother, a sister, just a horrible person since she'd woken up from the coma.

All she did was cry and be distant towards them, no matter how much they tried to help her. Everyone would always be there for her, Glen would hold her whenever she needed it, but she hadn't even been able to kiss him since waking up. She felt so horrible about it, but she simply felt nothing but grieve, anger, sadness and fear. She simply couldn't beat it, but she knew that she would have to and she wanted to get through it. And each step closer to the gazebo she promised herself today would mark the day that she would put the determination she'd used during her PT, to use on getting better mentally as well.
