Chapter 25 (Therapy Box Part 2)
Carly, Pam, and Socko each sat on the couch while Dr. Parper took his desk. They were fine watching the session on the screen. Although, they did wonder if they should have put some restraints on the people in there, especially with the look Sasha had on her face going in. "You don't think Sasha's going to hurt anyone in there, do you?" Socko asked while staring hopefully at the screen.
"I'm hoping not," Pam replied. She couldn't really be too sure herself, maybe with the fact that she was pregnant, she wouldn't do anything too risky. Carly didn't speak, but watched the screen with intensity. If anything were to go wrong, they could always pull them out. "Then again, I'm not so sure the 'therapy box' is really the best method to use. It just seems rather unorthodox to me."
"Well it helped you and your daughter, didn't it?" Parper quickly retorted, defending his work. Pam shrugged as everyone watched the screen. They were all still silent, Spencer had moved to the side where nobody was sitting and currently watching Sasha. Though she didn't look like it, everybody was just waiting for her to explode.
"Yeah but this one's a bit different, that mother and daughter harbor a 16 year grudge." Dr. Parper rubbed his chin and stared back at the screen, it did seem that Sasha was glaring at her mother from the side.
"Yeah it would seem to be the case…Speaking of your daughter, where's she at?"
"On a date with her boyfriend." Sam and Freddie would probably swing by later on, if the therapy session wasn't done. Though remembering how long it took with Pam, Sam figured it would probably not be done before their date. The therapist nodded as everybody started getting a bit uneasy. It was way too silent. "How long have they been in there for?"
"About five minutes at most," Socko muttered under his breath. "I think they're afraid to talk. With how Sasha keeps glaring daggers at them, I'm prettysure they're searching for a way to say anything and not have her rip them to shreds." In the room, the first person to try talking was Zach, as he was becoming way too uncomfortable just sitting there.
"So, will someone say something so we can get out of here sooner?" Zach asked as his hands shook upon his legs. Sasha was thinking this might be a good time to tell them she was pregnant, where if they attacked her again, they were in such closed quarters that she could shoot them all down from their high horses. "Besides, I'm getting kind of a cold feel, is anyone else cold?" Zach stared at Sasha as she slowly looked toward him, her hands clenching up and eyes narrowing to a sharper glare. He swallowed hard and began to sweat. "Oh crap." Rick scooted over an inch. Zach spoke, and he was first to bear the brunt of Sasha's anger. He glared pitifully at his father. "You're a real help, Pops…"
"Zach," Sasha growled. He chuckled nervously and looked at his little sister to see her stepping towards him. "Why are you afraid of me?" She held her venomous glare upon her deceitful older brother and stood before him. "Are you afraid of what I might do to you? I'm pissed off. I hate every one of you, and why? Because every oneof you betrayed me! Every one of you killed me inside and made me lose my daughter for sixteen years!"
"I didn't know it would be so bad!"
"You lying asshole! You were so fucking afraid of what mom and dad would do to you that you didn't even tell them that you told me to have sex with my boyfriend! You knew it'd be bad." She growled and shifted her eyes towards Rick, he winced and closed his eyes, knowing what was coming up. "And when would you ever take a stand to defend your daughter? You may have a relationship with Carly now, but you have no relationship with me!"
"I realize that," he replied softly. "We all want to change that, if you're willing to let it be."
"I think she just needs to let of some steam," Zach whispered as he stared up into Sasha's angry eyes. He could feel them burning a hole through him. He knew once her anger went away, then maybe they could all actually talk reasonably with her. Sasha instantly spun around and turned her glare upon Michelle. Her mother simply sat there, fully expecting to be hit by the tidal wave that was Sasha's wrath.
"As for you, mother," Sasha said as she started moving toward her. "I may not be glad about how your career and life came spiraling down, but at least now you know how it feels to be alone and hated. You were so damn full of yourself that you didn't even see or think of the pain I was going through! You took me away from the man I loved, took my daughter away, took my life away, all because you were so fucking concerned about your career!"
"I know that's where I screwed up, and I'm trying to make amends the best I can," Michelle replied with a quiet voice. Sasha moved closer to Michelle and glared into her eyes. Spencer quickly stood up and moved over to Sasha, placing his hand on her shoulder.
"Sasha, I know you're upset," Spencer said softly. She stood up straight and looked over towards him, not knowing really what to say. Everyone was grateful to have Spencer here, because he was the one good light in the dark, the one that could probably calm her down and get her to listen. "They're here because they do want you back. I know it's hard to talk to them right now. Hell, it's hard enough for me to be here, but you have to give them a chance."
"Why should I give them a chance? Why give them anything?"
"Because they're giving you a chance…" Sasha smiled as Spencer looked into her eyes. He always seemed to have the capability to calm her raging storms. "So, why don't you give them a chance? I mean, if you feel the need to rant and yell…okay, you have every right, but don't get violent."
"Did he just say she could yell at us?" Zach whispered to Rick. Rick smacked him in the back of the head to keep him quiet during this moment. "Ow!"
"If she wants to yell at us, let her," Michelle said as she sat straight up. They were each thankful for the fact that there were now benches and chairs in the room. It made Pam a bit jealous. "She's earned that right. Let her." Sasha looked at her mother and spotted the look in her eyes. Spencer was right, they were trying to reconnect, they did feel guilty, and all she was doing was stomping on them.
"No," She said as she took a step back. "No, I'm not going to yell at them." Spencer smiled as the others stared at her with shock. Sasha found a chair in the corner of the room and moved it to the center, sitting down. "But I have every right to judge them. So let's hear their excuses…let's hear their reasons for taking a girl's baby away and keeping them apart."
"I know there is never an excuse for something like that…" Sasha looked over at her mother and crossed her arms, sitting straight up and trying not to glare. Michelle looked down, sighed, then looked back to Sasha. "Having had so many years to think it over…I think it could have gone differently if I had just explained to you how having a child changes your life dramatically. I know I should have been there to help you prepare, and instead, I did something that seems almost so inhuman…I know nothing will ever change what happened, but we want to try and get a life with you again, we want that second chance…to be a family…"
"You realize you missed everything about your grandchild, right? You forced me to miss everything also. I don't even know what her first words were."
"They were 'mama' actually," Spencer said as he raised his hand up. Sasha blinked and looked at him, she would have glared, but what he just said was a bit surprising.
"Really? I would have thought they'd be a bit different…"
"Nope…" Spencer looked down at the ground and chuckled as he reached into his sports jacket. "Actually I have a surprise for you. A little something my dad did…" Everyone stared at Spencer as he pulled a CD from his suit. "He actually recorded everything from the moment she arrived home to her first tooth, to the moment we moved into the studio apartment."
"Really? He did that?" She was shocked, she didn't think Steven would have done that.
"Yeah, he felt it was necessary. He and I were religious about filming her every moment." Sasha and the others smiled, it was a good thought. At least Spencer didn't miss her moments, but it still broke Sasha's heart that she never got the chance. "Dad thought maybe you and I would get together someday, or you'd at least get to meet up with Carly, we talked it over early on and decided we didn't want you to miss those moments. It wasn't your fault that you missed them and you deserve to know them all."
"So why do you have that CD, anyway?" Spencer picked up the briefcase next to his chair, he brought it in with him as part of his own planning.
"Well, I just figured it'd be good to get some common ground. Carly seemed to gather everyone from your family and connect with them…maybe you all could watch a few home movies and see what you missed. Then, I think it would be good to start talking with each other, because if you want to reconnect, you can't do it with anger…" Sasha watched Spencer nervously as he pulled a laptop from his computer. Michelle parted her lips and looked at the computer, she did want to see this, but like Rick and Zach, she didn't think she deserved any of it.
"It's a good thought, Spencer," Rick said. He had the same thoughts and feelings that Michelle did, he simply spoke before she did. "But none of us really deserve-"
"I'm not giving anyone any options here." Spencer opened the laptop as everybody exchanged stunned glances. They actually didn't think he'd snap at them or be so forceful. Then again, he was hurting too, and it wasn't only Sasha that would be experiencing a lot of anger and rage. He was just more subdued about it. They had no choice but to agree. He placed the CD in and motioned for everyone to gather around. He hoped this would make people become a bit closer, and then they could actually talk about what had happened and try to move on.
Well Sasha really started out chewing em out. I hope you enjoyed this chapter. Next is coming up. I've finished writing the story, there will be a total of 30 chapters.
