-also if you have any ideas about pairs in the story give me a dm!-

on with the story*

Gwen hated her life, hated her school, and except close family and friends she hated everyone. Gwen especially hated today, and where she was going... she was determined to get out of it. She hated that man for ruining her life, it was a problematic past that she wanted to forget and she knew that this place would eventually make her share it.

"Like this is going to help me... i don't want to be there mom..." Gwen looked out the window at the rain drenched road, this wasn't her idea of a good Friday afternoon. "The therapy sessions will help Gwen... besides i can't send you back to St. Marys it was too much to leave you there..." her mom sighed and Gwen stiffened and crossed her arms in defeat. "Fine I'll go, just don't talk about that please..." she felt her chest tighten. "It's been 10 years Gwen, it's finally time to try and heal yourself, it's for your benefit... the teens in there are going through stuff too. Maybe you will make a new friend there, I'm sure your friend Duncan would love you to try" she stroked her daughter's teal hair, in kind Gwen put her hand on her mother's and squeezed it.

Gwen wasn't ready to share, ready to move on, ready to forget... she didn't want to open up. The school and her psychologist made her come to these meetings, they were worried about her safety and well being. She didn't blame them, she didn't make too smart of decisions during these recent years.

Gwen started picking at her already chipped black nail polish, a habit when she was nervous. "Please Gwen... i know that it will be hard, but you can't avoid it forever..." her mom wasn't too sure that Gwen would ever be okay again. "I'll try, that is all i can promise" Gwen didn't want to get her hopes up, still her mom nodded.

"Okay hun... by the way we're here... I'll see you in at home in a few hours, also Duncan is picking you up right?" Her mom pulled up in front of the building and Gwen nodded. "See you later..." Gwen said getting out of the car and shutting the door. She looked at the building and drank it in, it was not huge but pretty big. She forced her legs to move, taking her towards the place she would get to know very well. She entered the door to see the receptionist, a red haired woman, on the computer typing. She looked at the name tag, her name was Zoey.

"Hello..." Gwen said nervously, the woman looked up. "Oh hello! Are you here for Dr. McLean?" (Yes I know it's cleché to have him as the doctor but come on! Who else would be a perfect fit XD) the receptionist was so nice. "Yes I am, my Name is Gwen Dawn" she smiled at the receptionist a little. "Yes Gwen! His group therapy is in room 203" Zoey gave her a note with the number on it. Gwen thanked her and started looking for the room, after a few minutes she found it and entered slowly. There was a group of teens sitting around a middle aged man in a doctors uniform. The teens consisted of a red head girl, a dark haired girl who didn't look pleased to be there, a caramel skinned male with dark hair, two blond girls, a big dark skinned male, a light skinned male with brown hair, and a brunette girl with braces who had won open seat next to her.

Gwen felt like and idiot just standing here, the caramel skinned male looked at her and gave her a smile and waved. Everyone else then looked at her making her feel even more nervous.

"Ah Gwen! Good for you to join us!" The doctor walked over to her. "Everyone please welcome our new group member! Gwen!" he said with a little too much enthusiasm. "Hey Gwen" everyone said happily, except the dark haired girl who scoffed as Gwen sat down next to the brunette girl with braces. "Don't be a Bitch Heather!" One of the blonds who had her hair tied back said. "Get bent surfer girl!" Heather said crossing her legs. This girl was either very damaged or very much a bitch, Gwen was gonna find out sooner or later.

"Now everyone be nice, and please introduce yourselves to Gwen so she will feel more comfortable!" He shook his head sitting back down.

"Sup! I'm Bridgette!" The blond who was just talking said.

"Lindsey!" The other blond cheered with a little giggle.

"I'm DJ! Nice to meet you!" The dark skinned male said with a warm welcome.

"I'm Tyler!" The brown haired male grinned? .

"I'm Beth" the brunette girl with braces said with a tiny bit of a smile.

"I am Alejandro senorita" the caramel skinned male said from beside her, he took her hand and shook it. Gwen felt her face heat up and slowly pulled her hand back.

"I'm Izzy mother fuckers! I love blowing shit up!" The redhead jumped up yelling, stopping when everyone looked at her including Chris who glared at her. "What! Can't a girl have fun!?" She pouted and sat down. Gwen raised a brow at her. "You need to be more careful of what you say to some of these people Izzy..." Chris couldn't help but hide his face in his hand.

"I'm Heather..." Heather said crossing her arms with a bored look.

"Now that everyone has introduced themselves! Most of you know that my name is Dr. Chris McLean, but you can call me Chris. I am the main therapist in this establishment!" He grabbed out a clipboard. "Some of you haven't been here that long, others have just started, and some have been here for quite some time. So I want these next few visits to be about discussing why you are here and the demons behind it so you can all help each other recover, so every Friday is your time to open up. " when he said this everyone groaned. "Do we have to?" Beth said looking down at her feet. "Yes, do i have our first volunteer?" Chris said smirking making Gwen nervous. Nobody raised their hand for a few minutes but that's when Bridgette felt the need to start "I'll go, i don't want everyone else to be nervous!" Bridgette said chuckling and letting out a long sigh.

" first does anybody want to eat something, or drink something before we start?" Chris said bringing his hands together. Everyone nodded so he talked into a walkie-talkie " Hey Mr. Hatchet please bring up the refreshments" after he said that a big dark-skinned man entered the room, bringing a tray full of snacks turning around and leaving. Chris got up and handed everybody a water bottle and a cookie. Everybody took it ate the cookie and drink some water.

" damn cookies are the only reason I still freaking come here" Heather said in a irritated tone.

" yes cuz being in here with you is just peachy" Beth said with a little bit of sarcasm. Heather just glared at her and flipped her off, and in return received a finger as well.

Chris facepalmed and looked between the two girls " I thought I was a therapist not a babysitter"

This was not what Gwen pictured when she thought about therapy sessions, everyone else was very open.

Both girls glared at him, but shut up. Bridgette looked down she knew what she had to do, it was hard because she hadn't shared this with many people.

"It's okay Bridge! You got this!" DJ smiled. The blond had only shared this story with Chris, Beth and Lindsey so she was nervous.

"Thanks man" Bridgette said with a little bit less of a nervous look. Chris gave a sympathetic look "take your time Bridgette..." he said softly.

She nodded and began "it was after my parents and I moved up here from Malibu... by that time they were going their separate ways due to several issues within the family..." She looked at the group.

"So it was a new city and new situation?" Alejandro said curiously, Bridgette nodded.

"Yep, and it only got worse after that... That's when my dad pulled away from me and my mom had constant work, so to feel better instead of being alone i started hanging out at the local beach. I missed home very much, the water reminded me of the surf... i usually sat by myself but after a while a boy started coming up to me and talking to me, he got really persistent. I was a pretty outgoing person so I just allowed him to be there, whenever I went there he was there. After a while of talking we became really close friends, we shared everything. He started to fall in love with me, but the feelings were not returned. I tried to let him down easy, and I wish I could have seen what he would become." She closed her eyes for a second.

"What did he do? Was it bad?" Gwen asked.

"Oh so Goth chick can talk?" Heather scoffed.

"Shut up Heather" Alejandro shook his head, he gave Gwen a wink making her blush. Was he flirting with her?

"Alejandro thank you!" Bridgette said glaring at Heather who stuck her tongue out.

" so to answer Gwen's question , yes he did do quite bad things... and I gotta live with it forever..." She hated telling this. "He pretended to let it go, but after awhile he saw me talking to other guys and got so attached to me that he started to stalk me, he followed me daily. For weeks I stopped going to the beach and walking in that area hoping to avoid him, but he got really really insistent. for those weeks I feared for my life, the stalking got very intense. several times he broke into my house, he trashed some of my parents things in an attempt to get me to come to him... to give him what he wanted." Bridgette began to shake. DJ gave her a concerned look, putting his hand on hers making her smile. she continued...

" even though my mom tried to deal with it by calling the cops, he wouldn't be let down easy. one fateful day I was walking home from school, trying not to be too afraid. I was unlucky that day, I was attacked by him outside my house. he beat me, handcuffed me, and dragged me into the forest by my house..." she looked terrified just retelling it.

" holy crap that's fucked up..." Tyler said with wide eyes.

"indeed it was, I never saw it coming." the more into the story she got, the more she shook. " he dragged me far enough where nobody could find me easily. he then proceeded to tell me that she was very attracted to me, how he couldn't let me go, and that he had to have me no matter what. I was horrified, it looks like he was right that he would do just about anything to have me." She looked down.

" what did he do now?!" Lindsey was on the edge of her seat. Even if she heard it that was long ago.

" he said he had a way for us both to be together forever, and that the forest is the place to make it happen." Bridgette felt the tears come to her eyes. " first of course he raped me, because that had to happen. then he pulled out a knife and a noose and stabbed me..." everyone looked at her in shock.
