Dead Awake Page #2

into faith, your sorrows into joys,

your doubts into certainties,

and your loneliness

into divine companionship.

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.

And may God be with the soul

of this young woman,

from now until eternity.

God bless you and keep you.

May his face shine upon you

and be gracious unto you.

May God lift up his countenance

upon you and give you peace.

Amen.

I'll see you back at the house.

My condolences.

Thank you.

She was such a dear girl.

How did you know her?

I'm Dr. Hassan Davies.

I specialize in sleep disorders.

I was helping Beth

with her sleep problems.

Obviously, I failed.

There's nothing you could have done.

Doctor said it was an asthma attack.

That's odd, considering

Beth didn't have asthma.

I believe I know what happened

to your sister.

Kate.

My family's waiting.

Hey, dad.

Hey.

How are you holding up?

OK.

Um, I'll get your stuff.

Hey, mom.

Hey.

Hi.

So I put you back in your room.

Actually, I'm gonna stay in here.

You sure?

I want to be close to her.

Trix.

What's wrong, Trix?

Ouch!

Evan.

I know you can hear me talking.

I know you can feel me.

I know you can feel me walking.

Trix.

You furry little son of a gun.

Pretty little monster.

I know Beth would want you to have him.

Yeah, yeah.

She's beautiful, huh?

I hope you are doing that around her.

No.

I, uh, I stopped for her.

But now why bother, right?

She came by my place

the day she died, upset.

She said something attacked her.

Was everything all right

between you two?

Huh.

Wow.

You're really something.

Come in here, all holier than thou.

You know, where...

where was this concern before?

I was always concerned.

And patronizing, and judgmental.

You made her feel like sh*t.

You don't know anything about us.

I tried to help her for years.

When I finally stopped enabling

her, she pushed me away.

But I don't have to

justify myself to you.

You dated her for, what?

Two years?

You spent half that time partying.

You're the one who

brought her to rock bottom

and now you want a medal

for helping her get better?

Beth had problems long before me.

I know.

Look, I didn't come here to argue.

I was just hoping that she told

you something about what

was happening to her.

Whatever it was, she was

seeing this guy about it.

Hassan?

Yeah.

He told her a bunch of crazy

sh*t, and it spooked her,

and that's when she decided

to see Dr. Sykes.

His theories and practices

are not rooted in science.

Well, could they have

contributed to her death?

Let's just say...

If she was having problems, his solutions

would do more harm than good.

I'm very sorry.

This is my class.

I have to go.

Um, I'm sorry about your sister.
