    Summary

    Jon has issues, Elias gave him an ultimatum: Fix it, or find another job.

    This brings Jon to Dr. Martin Blackwood's office

    ___

    The sound of a passing car pulled Jon back to the present. His eyes blinked open. His arm ached again, the belt forgotten on the floor.

    The guilt never really left. It just changed form.

    It was pills, then heroin. It was missed deadlines and avoidance. It was limping without a cane because pride still whispered louder than common sense. It was ignoring Martin’s kind eyes and throwing himself off cliffs he built with his own hands.

    It was Elias.

    It was himself.

    Jon stared at the ceiling until the high thinned out into nausea and ache.

    Maybe next week with Martin, he’d talk about it.

    Or maybe he wouldn’t.

    He hadn't decided yet if he wanted to be forgiven.
