Sunday

7:00 am

Bedroom

Brian was trying to get Justin up to go to the group therapy session. "Justin. Justin wake up."

"Fuck off." Justin grunted.

"Come on. You have to get up."

"I don't want to."

"You have to. Come on. Get up." Brian started poking his side. Justin squirmed away, to the other side of the bed. Brian climbed on the bed, and continued to poke Justin.

"Stop poking me."

"I will when you get up."

"Fine. I'll get up." Justin opened his eyes and sat up.

"Good morning Sunshine."

"Yeah, sure."

"A little cranky are we?"

"Just pissed off at being woken up." Brian straddled Justin.

"It's not my fault you had to get up."

"I know. I'm sorry. I just always feel frustrated all the time."

"Understandable. Now come on, get up. You have to go to the group therapy."

7:45 am

Therapy Room (not sure if there are specific names for rooms for therapy or not. Sorry)

Justin entered the room and saw there were only a couple other people there. 3 were people who work here. He could tell by the uniforms. One person was sitting in one of the chairs that were in a circle. The guy looked back at him and gave Justin a slight smile. Justin walked over to him. "Hi. I'm Justin."

"Charlie." The guy extended his hand. After they shook hands, Justin sat down next to Charlie.

"How long have you been here?"

"6 months."

"That long? Really?"

"Yeah. You may think the pain will go away, but it takes awhile. I'm still going dealing with the pain. And plus, this group helps with it everyday. As long as you have a support system, you'll get through it." Justin let the words sink in. "So when did it happen? If you don't mind me asking."

"About a week ago."

"I would think you didn't want to go to therapy and nobody would know."

"Well, my...um...boyfriend, he's always so worried and caring and I thought he should know, and his parents now that I'm living with them."

8:00 am

Therapy Room

The therapy session started and everyone was going around, introducing themselves. There were a couple new people that day, Justin being one of them. He was nervous about telling everyone what happened. It was nerve racking for him, but after talking to Charlie before the session, helped a little bit. He and Charlie could become good friends. Charlie, Justin, and Brian could all be friends.

A/N: This is the last chapter. There will be an epilogue and a sequel. Don't hate me! Lol.
