A New FanFiction After the Intervention: The Healing Process

[Jeanie]

This is a fan fiction that I have been working on and Jin said it was really good and I should post it so here goes. I am not promising that it is good. But I thought I would at least post and see what you all think. I also wanted to say Thanks Jin for reading it Without farther delay here it is:

After the Intervention: The Healing Process

Jinny’s car

Jinny left her father’s house and got in her car. She started the car and started driving with no destination in mind. She was thinking about all that just happened at the intervention. Today had been a bad day all around. She had gotten suspended for 90 days and then went over to her father’s house to be ambushed by everyone. She thought about all that had been said at the intervention. Everything kept running thru her head from all the people at the intervention that apparently cared about her to every word that had been said there. She looked at her surroundings and knew she wasn’t far from The Anchorside; she was tempted to head the car in that direction and forget about everything that had happened. After all that was what her life had been to drink to forget everything that happened when she had found her mother. She had always thought if she had been a little bit better her mom would have loved her and never would have committed suicide. That is what she had thought all her life since that day she found her mom laying in the bathroom. What the people at her father’s house did not know was that every night when she shut her eyes she saw that image. That is where the drinking came in, for when she drank she didn’t see the image that was before her when she was 14 years old. What they also didn’t know was that when Theodore had said he loved her and backed out on the weekend in Napa that she felt like that helpless little girl again when she was 14 and had found her mother. She really did care for Theodore more than she had every cared for anyone else. She had felt closer to Theodore and she had blown that one to. She wondered if she would ever get it right. Maybe she had jumped to conclusions when Teddy had said that he had been given the chance to be second chair, after all that was an honor for and ADA and maybe he didn’t just want to back out. Everything was spinning out of control. She looked at her surroundings and realized that she was near the bay so she turned her car in the direction of the bay. She might be able to come to terms with everything that had gone wrong in her life recently.

John Exstead House

Everyone was still there talking about what they could do to help Jinny. Sandra Fogelson was telling everyone “That until Jinny was ready to get help then you really can’t do anything to force her into rehab. You all tried your best tonight to convince Jinny that she was loved and you wanted to see her get the help that she desperately needs at rehab but tonight proved one thing she listened she is just not ready to take that step yet. Jinny hasn’t come to terms yet with her drinking cause if she had she would have gone to King’s Point Rehabilitation Center tonight. Hopefully she will think about all that was said tonight in this room and choose to go the King’s Point anyway. But you can’t force her to go to rehab because then it won’t do any good. She will go through rehab and come out and more than likely go back to her old ways and then you have to start all over again and no one wants that.” Magda replied “So basically what you are saying in order for rehab to work for Jinny she has to want to go and get better herself, and us forcing her to would be like forcing someone to do something they don’t want to do and when she gets out she would return to her old ways right?” Sandra replied, “That is basically the just of it. Until Jinny is willing to go get the help then the rehab won’t work, actually it might work for a while but until she is the one that says I am ready to get the help I need to quit drinking then the program won’t be successful.” CD asked, “Is there anything we can do to help Jinny?” Sandra responded, “One thing is you can’t do is enable her to continue drinking. What I mean by that is you can’t give into Jinny’s requests no matter how much you want to. You have to stand your ground and basically not be there to help her to keep drinking. As long as you stand by and watch and do nothing you are enabling her to drink. She doesn’t need that she needs you to be strong and not help her with her drinking. It is called tough love and that is what it is, it is hard to do when you care about someone like you all care about Jinny but if you can do it, then it will help Jinny in the long run.” Angela asks, “So you are telling us to turn our backs on Jinny and not give her any support at all?” Sandra replies, “No I am telling you that you can’t be an enabler to her drinking. She may tell you she has it under control, but unless she is working a program than that is just a line. You have to be strong enough not to go to the bars with her or give her any alcohol at all. Or you will be part of the problem.” Casey asks, “Do you think that Jinny will ever be ready to admit that she needs help?” Sandra replied, “Casey, Jinny is just not ready at this time it doesn’t mean that she won’t be ready to get help soon. She might think about what was said tonight and decide she needs help or she might not. I know she is your sister and you want to help her get help but only Jinny can decide when the time is right.”

At the Bay

Jinny had been staring out at the water for a while not even knowing how long she had been there. She had been going over and over everything that had happened to her today. She didn’t know what to make of it. She knew that she drank too much and she knew why she drank but could she do this all by herself like she had said earlier or did she need help. She didn’t have any answers yet after thinking about this for how long she didn’t know. She knew one thing it was late and she didn’t know which way to turn to anymore. Jinny looked back out to the water for some reason the water seemed to calm her and helped her think rationally. Jinny heard a noise and noticed someone approaching, she could make out a figure but the person was to far away for her to see who was approaching. Jinny watched as the figure kept coming closer, she could now make out that the person was of the male gender but that was about all. As the person got closer Jinny saw that it was someone she knew. She thought to herself what did Magda do now call Theodore and ask him to come looking for me. I can take care of myself whether they believe it or not.

Theodore saw a shadow standing up against the wall and decided to continue. He had come here a lot lately since that night in The Anchorside when he had saw Jinny with that other man. He had come to a place they had come to together as a couple for he was having trouble letting go of Jinny even though he knew that it was the right thing to do. How could she do that to me was the question that he had kept asking himself. That and I thought we had something special; I am in love with her. I guess she didn’t feel the same way. Theodore kept his head down as he continued to walk to the place that Jinny had took him to see the view of the bay. He hated to admit it but he had been here every night since that night, this was the only place that he felt close to Jinny at and she was right when she had told him it is a great place to think about anything that is bothering you. He glanced up and continued walking towards the place Jinny had shown him.

Well here is the beginning. Should I continue or forget it. Thanks

Teddy: So, uh... I don't know. What else did you buy?
Jinny: How do you know I bought you anything for your birthday? Maybe I plan on knitting you a sweater or... give you something much more organic.
Teddy: Well, you do give good organic.

Abby: Didn’t save him.

Carter: You know what? Stop it.

Abby: What?

Carter: Don’t talk to me about Luka. I’m not your girlfriend and I shouldn’t really even be here with you.

Abby: Why not?

Carter: (Pausing) Because I don’t want to wish bad things for you and Luka. And I don’t want to sit on the sidelines waiting for you two to break-up. (Pauses) And I don’t want to be your friend. (Smiles gently) It might be convenient for you but it isn’t doing much for me.

Thanks to everyone for the all the nice comments. I am glad that you all like it.I want to thank you Jin for you very kind words. Thanks. And I want to thank Mag for her comments also. Thanks guys.
Anyhow here is some more. Enjoy

At the Bay

Jinny was furious that Magda would pull this stunt also. How dare she Jinny thought. Theodore was closing the gap between the two. Jinny knew he was close enough now to hear her, but for some odd reason he wasn’t looking up he had his head down. Theodore was about 10 feet away from Jinny when she spoke. “Who sent you out to find me?” Theodore glanced up and saw Jinny standing against the wall. “What are you talking about?” Theodore questioned. “Don’t play that game with me Teddy, like you stumbled out here on accident. How did you know where to find me? Oh yeah I forget I showed you this place when we were dating.” Jinny stated. “Well if you must know I came out here to think Jin, I have been doing that a lot lately if you must know. Although I didn’t expect to run into you here.” Theodore stated bluntly. “Teddy don’t tell me Magda didn’t call you and ask you to come looking for me cause she was worried?” Jinny asked. “What are you talking about, I haven’t talked to Magda in a while. In fact I haven’t been over to the Division in a while. In case you hadn’t noticed. I have asked for some time off for personal reasons so I have not been to work for a while.” Theodore stated. “You are telling me you haven’t heard what happened today?” Jinny asked. “Well I wouldn’t ask what you are talking about if I knew now would I?” Theodore said. “My mistake Theodore, sorry to have bothered you.” “Whatever Jin, you know I should be the one asking you questions here, I mean after all you have a lot of explaining to do.” Theodore said. “What are you talking about Theodore?” Jinny asked. “You know what I am talking about Jinny, don’t act like you don’t.” Theodore said. “No Teddy I don’t otherwise I wouldn’t have asked.” Jinny said. “So you are denying that after we have the discussion in the parking lot at The Division you were at The Anchorside with another guy?” Theodore asked. “How did you know?” Jinny asked. “Oh great Jin, answer a question with another question. Are you admitting you were with that other guy that night at the bar.” Theodore said. “Yes I was kissing another guy at the Anchorside. Now answer my question. How did you know?” Jinny said. “Well after the misunderstanding in the parking lot I came looking for you and I saw you kissing that guy and then I left. You know Jinny I told you I loved you that day and you go do that why?” Theodore asked. “I really don’t know Teddy, I really don’t know. I thought, I don’t know what I thought Theodore, except that you deserve someone better than me.” Jinny said quietly. “What is that suppose to mean Jinny? Are you telling me that you decided for me that you were not good enough for me? What gives you that right Jin to decide who I am and not supposed to love? It doesn’t work that way Jinny, I can’t help it who I fall in love with and for your information, I fell in love with you regardless of anything you say I love you, God help me I still love you even after seeing you with that guy in the bar. I can’t get you out of my head or my heart and God knows I have tried. But that is why I am here I come out here to the place you brought me to feel closer to you. You do not have the right to tell me Jin that I can’t love you. These are my feelings and I can love who ever I choose. Don’t you think I have asked myself what I did wrong for you to turn to the other guy in the bar? I have asked myself that question every day since Jin. I thought we had something special?” Theodore said. “I wanted to make it work Teddy, I really did in fact that day in the parking lot I was going to tell you that I was going away with you for the weekend, then you dropped the news on me that you had to work all weekend and I don’t know I thought you had decided that we were not worth trying.” Jin said. “Jinny, I told you I loved you that day and you thought that I would say that to you and then decide that it wasn’t worth it, come on. I thought you knew me better than that?” Theodore said. “You just don’t understand, I thought you were deserting me like my mother did.” Jinny said quietly. “What are you talking about deserting you?” Theodore asked. “It is a long story and I don’t know if I have the strength to go thru it again tonight.” Jinny said. “What are you talking about Jinny?” Theodore asked. “Oh that’s right you don’t know do you? Well let’s just say that I have been suspended for 90 days and tonight my friends and family decided I needed an intervention at my father’s house. I l drove here afterwards and I have been here ever since.” Jinny said. “You’re saying that everyone told you about your drinking and everything?” Theodore asked. “Yep, that is about the just of it, Teddy. I told them I could do this on my own. Now I am not so sure.” Jinny replied. “You admitted that you drink to much tonight?” Theodore questioned. “Yes, I said I drink to much tonight Teddy, I also said why I drink in the first place, maybe you should have been there to give me a piece of your mind also and to let everyone else know that I am not worthy of your love.” Jinny stated. “I never said that Jin, you did. I just thought we had something good going on and I wanted to shout to the whole world that I was in love with you and yes we needed to go away for the weekend to talk about everything and go forward from there. I said I was asked to be second chair and you thought I was deserting you, I still don’t understand that one. But I wasn’t if you had given me a chance I would have said that we could go away as soon as the case was over and I wasn’t need to prep the 6 witnesses. But you never gave me that chance did you? I wish you would explain why you felt I was deserting you also.” Theodore said. “Well at tonight’s intervention I was asked why I liked to drink and I said who says I like it. I don’t like it you know Teddy, I never have. I drink to forget about.” Jinny stopped for a minute. “Don’t you know you can tell me anything Jin, I will never condemn you for it?” Theodore stated. “Alright if you want to know you see I told you my mother blew her brains out. Well what I didn’t tell you I was the one that came home from school and found her in her bathroom that day Theodore. That is why I drink to forget about it. You see every night when I close my eyes I can still see everything like it was yesterday. It is always with me and I felt that if I had been a little bit better she could have loved me and maybe she wouldn’t have committed suicide that day. There you have it Theodore all wrapped up as to why I drink to get drunk every night. So when you said that you had to work that weekend when you had been persistent about us going away, I took that as you were deserting me also.” Jinny said. “Oh Jin, if I had only known sweetheart, I wouldn’t have got your hopes up then. I should have known something was bothering you in the parking lot when you said run as fast as you can. But I didn’t know what was bothering you, I did come and try to find you to talk about it though, and that is when I saw you kissing that guy. You hurt me Jinny I had taken the chance and told you how I really felt knowing that you could reject me or say that you didn’t feel the same or anything like that and then I see you kissing him and I knew you didn’t feel the same way about me as I felt about you or why else could you have been with him?” Theodore said. “It isn’t that I didn’t feel the same way, it was just that I was hurt and wanted to forget all the pain that I was feeling Teddy, when I feel like that I get drunk and go with anyone who is around to try to feel loved I guess is the best word to describe why I do what I do. I felt that you just said that you loved me and that you thought about it and had changed your mind, and you don’t know how bad that hurt me. I had told Magda that I was going away with you cause I really wanted this to work. I never got the chance to tell you that. I am sorry Theodore I really am. I turned to the only thing that I knew that would erase the feelings I was having. I should have talked to you and I didn’t. I basically thought you were blowing me off as a lost cause. I don’t know what else I can say.” Jinny said. “I don’t either Jin, I wished you had come to me also, maybe then I wouldn’t be in the pain that I have been in for the last 2 weeks. I was committed to you entirely Jinny more that you will ever know.” Theodore said as he started to turn to walk off. Jinny said, “What is that last comment supposed to mean Teddy?” Theodore turned back around and looked at Jinny with the pain showing in his eyes. “I don’t think I can do this right now Jin, I am just so tired of hurting, I don’t want to hurt anymore. You know when I saw you here all I wanted to do was to take you in my arms and hold you and kiss you, God Jin you made me feel complete when I was with you. I have never felt that with anyone else do you know that. I just can’t do this right now.” Theodore responded. “I guess that I deserve everything that I have coming to me. I am truly sorry you don’t have to believe me but I am. One thing though before you go Teddy, I want you to know that you were the best thing in my life, and I threw it away.” Jinny said and turned to go to her car.
Theodore watched as Jinny walked out of his life again.

Hope you all like.

Here is some more. Hope you all like.

Magda’s car

She was driving home after that draining intervention thinking about all that had transpired tonight. At least they all knew why Jinny drinks now. But she wished that Jinny had agreed to go to King’s Point. She had meant what she said to Jinny that she wanted her back as a partner. Although Jinny may not believe that at this point and time it was true. Jinny was her best friend and she didn’t want to see her going under. That is why she had done what she did by staging the intervention with all the people that care about Jinny. As she was driving she thought I wonder if I had called Theodore if he may have been able to get thru to Jin? I mean after all Jinny seemed to open up to Theodore more than she had to anyone else she had ever dated. Jinny had said herself that she felt closer to Theodore than she had any of the others. Magda looked at the time and thought I can’t solve this tonight tomorrow is another day and maybe after a night’s sleep I can have a fresh perspective. Magda turned the corner that took her to her apartment and was glad to be going home.


CD’s car

CD was driving towards home and thought why should she go home no one is there. Jinny had said some harsh things about my personal life in there and even though CD hated to admit it Jinny was right. Why had she stayed with Paul when he had been cheating on her? She didn’t have an answer to that. But damnit Jinny should have never brought that up tonight. CD smiled although Jinny was just being tough and not taking everyone’s crap what I said that I admired about her. I guess I can see how she felt. I mean after all everyone was coming down on her and it is Jinny’s nature to fight back. Although Jinny had some pretty harsh things basically everything Jinny said about me was the truth. I had chosen to stay with Paul when I didn’t believe in what he was doing to me. That is something I have no answer for why I did. Jinny has made me think tonight.

Angela’s car

Angela thought about the events of the evening at Jinny’s father’s house. I wish I had known that Jinny had found her mother I would have never brought up about losing my mother and missing her everyday. I can’t imagine what Jinny is feeling coming home and to find your mother like that at the age of fourteen. No one should see their mother that way. I feel so bad that I mentioned that Jinny losing her mother and me losing my mother was something we had in common. I wish I had known the circumstances. I can see when Jinny is as sarcastic as she is now. She is afraid to let anyone in cause she is afraid that she will lose them like she lost her mother.

John Exstead House

“Casey, thanks for helping me clean up. Do you think that Jinny girl will get the help that she needs? I meant it when I told her I was so proud of her the day she made inspector you know.” John said. “Dad, we just have to be hope that what was said tonight will get thru to Jinny. She has always been there for me dad, why won’t she let me be there for her?” Casey asked. “I don’t know son. I just don’t know.” John replied. “Are you okay dad? Do you want me to stay here tonight?” Casey asked. “I am just tired, but if you wouldn’t mind it would be nice to have you in the house tonight.” John said. “Sure dad I can stay.” Casey said.

For all of you still reading here is some more. Hope you like. Thanks for reading and all the replies.

The Bay
Theodore watched, as Jinny was about to walk out of his life again. He didn’t know if he wanted to lose her all over again. He was still in love with her after everything that had happened. He knew that if he didn’t say anything to stop her then she would walk out of his life for good and he didn’t want that. Jinny was approaching her car when Theodore said “Jinny, wait please.” Theodore started walking towards Jinny.

Jinny’s car

Jinny had just about reached her car when she heard Teddy. “Jinny, wait please.” Theodore said. Jinny turned around to see that Theodore was walking towards her. I wonder if there is something else he would like to add, Jinny thought as she reached up and wiped her eyes before he reached her. Theodore reached Jinny and stood there looking at her. Jinny said, “What did you want Teddy?” Theodore replied, “I don’t want you to walk out of my life, Jin. I love you and I don’t want us to be apart. I mean that it will take some work to build the trust back but if you are willing to try then so am I.” Jinny just stood there looking at Theodore wondering if she had heard him correctly, if she was willing to try so was he. Jinny looked bewildered did he actually say that or did I just hear what I wanted to hear? Theodore finally spoke up and said, “Aren’t you going to say anything?” Jinny replied, “Did you say what I think you said or am I hearing things?” “If you mean did you hear that if you are willing to try then so am I, yes that is what I said.” Theodore stated. Jinny couldn’t hold back the tears anymore. “Yes Teddy I am willing to try, but only if that is what you truly want, I don’t want to hurt you again and I can’t promise anything more than I will try to get my drinking under control and I will try to not jump to conclusion without talking them out with you first.” Jinny said. “Jinny if you need help getting your drinking under control, know one thing I will gladly help you cause I love you more than I even realized. These past 2 weeks have been hell without you in my life. I am here for you anytime you need me. I do want us to try again, I want to spend my life making you happy Jinny, I will also promise to not get your hopes up and to discuss everything with you so you know I am not deserting you.” Theodore replied. Theodore walked up to Jinny and put his arms around her. He said, “God Jin, it feels good to hold you in my arms again.” Jinny replied, “It feels good to be in your arms Teddy. But you know I don’t know if I can quit drinking by myself. I just don’t know if I can. I want to try I really do, but I am afraid that I don’t have the strength to quit drinking.” Theodore said, “I have an idea Jinny, I don ‘t know if you want to try it or not, that is your call.” Jinny asked, “What is your idea?” “Well I am off for personal time why don’t you and I go away to Napa and talk things thru and I will help you through everything. I will be there every step of the way. Like I said though it is up to you.” Theodore said. “I don’t know if it will work, but I would like to try if you really want to I say let’s go for it.” Jinny said. “Good Jin, Why don’t I follow you to your apartment so you can pack and then we can go in my car to my apartment and pack and then take the first plane out of here. Sound like a plan.” Theodore suggested. “You want to leave tonight? Right this minute?” Jinny asked. “Why put it off? We should get started right away. The sooner the better, hey I am making you an offer you can’t refuse.” Theodore said. Jinny smiled at Teddy’s comment. “Fine lets do it. We can call everyone that needs to be called before we leave so no one worries about where we are. Do we have to tell them exactly where we are going though?” Jinny said. “We don’t have to tell them anything you don’t want to Jinny. We can just say we are going away for a vacation or something like that okay?” Theodore said. “I like that, I just don’t want to get anyone’s hopes up if I can’t quit on my own, you know.” Jinny said. “I understand Jin, but I have faith in you that you can do it, and like I said I will be there to help you every step of the way.” Theodore said. “You are to good to me Teddy.” Jinny said. “I love you Jin, I just want to make you happy that is all. But we should get going if we are going to catch a plane to Napa. I will see you at your apartment.” Theodore said as he leaned down and kissed Jinny before he went to his car.
