Pivot Table with varchar values

this is the first-time I use this and I hope i will achieve this, I am getting mad. I am still a newbie about all this programming with SQL thing, I am trying to use pivot table to turn the source table in the desired output showed as below.

This is my source table

Here is the image, I was unable to upload it (https://i.sstatic.net/KDStF.jpg). enter image description here

But whatever I try it returns me numbers but the varchar values I would like to, as it is shown above. Would any of you know how to achieve it?

I am using Transact SQL in Sql Server, here is my code

SELECT [Ques1], [Ques2]
FROM
(
  SELECT
    D.DocumentId,
    DA.QuestionId,
    Q.ShortText, 
    DA.[Text],
    Q.SectionId, 
    1 as [Count]
-- ShortText is literally 'Ques1' or 'Ques2'
    FROM Document D
    INNER JOIN DocumentAnswer DA
    ON DA.DocumentId = D.DocumentId
    INNER JOIN Question Q
    ON Q.QuestionId = DA.QuestionId
    WHERE D.DeleteDate IS NULL
) d  
PIVOT
(
    Max(ShortText)
    FOR [Text] IN ([Ques1], [Ques2])
) p

MS SQL Server 2008 Schema Setup:

Query 1:

DECLARE @TABLE TABLE (DocID INT, Ques VARCHAR(100), Ans VARCHAR(100))
INSERT INTO @TABLE VALUES 
(1 , 'Ques1' , 'Hola'),
(1 , 'Ques2' , 'Padr'),
(2 , 'Ques1' , 'Excue'),
(2 , 'Ques2' , 'Dir')

SELECT * FROM
( -- Put your existing query here
 SELECT * FROM @TABLE
) t
  PIVOT (MAX(Ans)
         FOR Ques 
         IN ([Ques1],[Ques2])
         )p

Results:

| DOCID | QUES1 | QUES2 |
|-------|-------|-------|
|     1 |  Hola |  Padr |
|     2 | Excue |   Dir |
