I know this chapter is really short, but that's just the way my brother wrote it.

Recovery Pt.1

Nurse Redheart stared blankly at me for a moment to try to process what I had said to her, "So, you want to go to rehab?"

I looked over at Tavi and then back at nurse Redheart, "If it's what'll help me get over this, then I'm willing to do anything."

"We do have other treatment options available that can help you as well. That is, if you'd be willing to try them." Nurse Redheart reached into her desk and pulled out several different pamphlets of treatment options.

"Thanks, but, I think I'll just go with rehab." I looked over at Tavi and gave her a weak smile, "I think it'd be better for the both of us if I go."

Redheart began to click her pen on the desk, "Well, if that's what you're interested in, then I don't want to force you into anything else. Let me check and see if the rehab center here in Ponyville has any openings." She sat her pen down and got up from her desk to leave the room.

When she left, I looked over at Tavi to find that she was lost in deep thought, "You alright, Tavi?"

She glanced up at me and then looked back down, "I-I'm alright."

"You sure? You look a little out of it."

She looke dout the window and sighed, "I'm just worried."

"About?"

"About you leaving for rehab."

"Why would you be worried about that?"

She looked back over at me and placed her hoof onto mine, "Because of what happened this morning."

"Tavi, you and I both know that I'm going through withdraw right now. I think it would probably be for the best of us if I'm not at home."

Her tone was now one of worry, "But, what if I can't come to see you?"

"You said it yourself, your job may want you to be gone for a long time. I can't just expect you to jump at the beck and call of visiting hours."

"But..."

I softly caressed her cheek and gave her a bright smile, "I'll be fine, trust me."

"O-Ok."

The door opened behind us as Nurse Redheart came back into the room, "Well, the rehab facility here in Ponyville is filled up. But, I managed to find you an opening at the rehab facility in Filldelphia."

Tavi looked up at Nurse Redheart with a faint smile, "Thank you Nurse Redheart, we really appreciate your help."

"I've just got one question."

Nurse Redheart looked over at me curiously, "Yes?"

"When do I have to leave for Filly?"

She shifted through her papers for a couple of seconds and then looked back up at me, "You'll be leaving this Friday."

I looked over at Tavi and smiled, "That gives us at least one more day together before I get sent off."

Tavi gave me a weak smile before turning her gaze back out the window, I wish it was longer.
