From the Depths

* My love

* Is alone

* With you

* So you wait in that sea

* Caught up and free

* With me

* And I dream

* Nothing's what it seems to be *

* I love

* Is alone

* With you

Brody.

Stop!

Stop, please!

Someone help, please!

Help me, please help!

Hurry!

Hurry Liz, don't!

- Were you able to get any sleep this week?

A couple of hours, maybe.

The nightmare?

Getting progressively worse.

I got taken under this time.

Oh no.

Then?

Then I woke up.

I have this feeling of dread,

as if it's building to something.

Yeah?

- Sometimes I feel like I'm gonna lose it completely.

I understand.

Lack of sleep can be tough on the mind and the body.

You still certain you don't

want to be prescribed to anything?

I don't want anything, no.

I'm almost more terrified of what I'll see

if I actually can't wake up.

- How are the meditation exercises going?

Well, I'm doing them.

That's good.

I guess.

It's been a year now.

A year?

Since the attack.

Yes, of course.

How do you feel about that?

Shitty, obviously.

Right.

Alone.

Do you still blame yourself?

Hey.

Hey, beautiful.

How ya doing?

Oh, you know, tired, headache.

The usual.

- How was your session?

Oh, swell.

"How does that make you feel?

"And how do you feel about that?" all day.

- And how do you feel about that?

Shut up jerk face.

- I am not a jerk face.

You're a part-time jerk face.

Yeah?

And the other part-time I'm a

luscious, righteous, goddess, right?

Right.

How was your day luscious?

- You know me, I slay all day.

- You did not just say slay all day.

I did.

You didn't.

I did though.

I hate you.

You love me.

You suck!

Only if he let me.

Hey, let me take you out tonight.

Let's go do something fun.

- I don't really feel like going anywhere.

I'm already lounging.

- Ah, it's one of those kinds of days, huh?

Pretty much.

Okay.

Then let me come over and make you dinner.

- I certainly won't argue against that.

Shocker!

I'll be by around six.

Sounds good.

- See you then beautiful.

Bye, luscious goddess.

So.

So.

What do you think?

It was a'ight.

I'll do better next time.

Could you please?

Okay.

It was amazing, thank you.

My pleasure.

Oh no, I'll do that.

Nada, I got this.

You chillax.

Hey, wanna watch a movie?

Maybe, what are you thinking?

I don't know, something funny.

Got us a little party favor.

Ah.

You know I'm not down on the devils lettuce.

- Still scared of the reefer madness?

- I'm terrified of those herbal jazz cigarettes.

- Oh, come on, it's just ganja, babe.

I keep telling you this will help you sleep.

I know, but-

- How are you sleeping by the way?

Any better?

Not really.

I managed maybe a couple of shitty hours a night.

Oh babe.

I'm so sorry, that really sucks.

You know, what's great to help you sleep?

Keep all the bad dreams away?

What's that?

Making sweet love by the fire.

My fireplace is broken.

Making sweet love will keep the sharks away?

Oh yeah, they hate the sound.

I'm sorry.

I can't.

I don't know.

It's okay.

I understand.

Do you?

Of course.

- I don't feel ready to go there yet.

I know.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you feel-

- No, no, no, no don't say sorry.

You've been nothing but amazing and patient with me.

I don't know who would put up with waiting-

Four months.

Has it been?

Yeah.

Not that I noticed or anything.

Yeah right.

- We can just cuddle and watch a movie.

I'll take it.

I just wanna be here.

I'm glad you're here.

Oh God, no.

Hey.

Hey.

Hey, it's okay.

It's okay.

- It must be nice to have

someone who supports you, yes?

Of course, it's great.

Almost too great.

And what do you mean by that?

- You know, just too good to be true.

Ah, yes.

- She's just so loving and sweet.

I feel like a total asshole by comparison.

- Well, when you're going through something,

it sounds like she understands that.

She does,

but I'm always wary of anyone who seems too perfect.

You know, meanwhile, here I am an emotional mess who

can't even get intimate with her.

- Has she expressed any feelings to you about that?

No, not really.

I mean, she seems disappointed at times,

but who wouldn't, right?

Every time we get close,

I just can't.

- Have you been with women before?

Yeah.

In college I dated both,

but Seth was my first real long-term relationship though.

Why did you think I-

Oh, just asking.

- Yeah, no, it's, it's not that at all.
