Chapter 35
General POV
Shortly after the reconciliation of Nonny and Oona, Nonny went to his parents to tell his problem. After this whole kidnapping thing, they weren't surprised. Nonny soon began going to a psychologist, talking about his problems and what he experienced.
Nonny had to kick off. The Psychologist prescribed him medicines that would replace his want of cigarettes. But he had to stop taking those medicines too, and that was pretty hard for the poor Nonny. Every week he went to the psychologist to talk about the progress. It became harder and harder. Nonny almost relapsed several times. He had problems with concentrating, he ate less, he had often headaches, etc...
Nonny was now on his way to the psychologist. He was silently walking down the streets with his hood on. He looked down, he saw what people threw on the ground. Nonny suddenly saw a half used cigarette. His heart began beating fast. He ran around it. "What's wrong with me?" He thought.
"Finally." He thought. Nonny arrived at the psychologists' workplace. She was waiting for him. "Hi Nonny, come in." "Hi, Miss Maria" Nonny simply said. "Beautiful weather isn't it?" "Probably gonna rain soon..." Nonny said.
The 2 entered the psychologists' office. "And how is it going?" The woman asked. Nonny was silent. "It only got worse." He silently said. "I don't know if I can hold it any longer. I feel so bad when I don't have those medicines." He added. "Nonny, that's normal that you feel like that. Everyone who went through this had the same struggles." Ms Maria said. "Come, lay down on the couch." She said.
Nonny laid down, looking at the roof. "I never asked this before Nonny. Who, convinced you to go search for help?" Nonny opened his eyes very widely. The psychologist was waiting for an answer. Nonny saw images of him and Oona flashing through his mind. "Well?" The woman insisted. "Oona..." Nonny said silently. "And who is she? Your sister? A classmate?" "My girlfriend." "I see. That's even better I guess." Nonny looked up. "Wh... why?" "Nonny she convinced you to search for help. You said that you almost relapsed several times? I think your girlfriend Oona, can give you enough moral support to help you through this." "Y... yeah, maybe. But the side effects, I will probably hurt her if I only think about taking the medicines." "Yeah you're right. And we can't do much to it. I will send a letter to your girlfriend to ask her if she wants to help you. I will also mention what you just said and other risks that possibly could hurt your relationship." Nonny simply nodded. "Good, that's all. See you next week. And stay strong Nonny." "Yeah... I hope."
Oona POV
"Oh mail for me?" I thought. What could it be? I didn't recognize the name nor the address. It was from a psychologist bureau.
Dear Oona
I am the psychologist of Nonny
He told me that his girlfriend convinced him to go search for help with his addiction. I assume he's right about that.
I don't know if he told you, but he almost relapsed several times.
People like that need a lot of moral support.
Here is my proposition, you give him that moral support. You don't need to accept if you don't want to.
Before you accept I want to warn you, this could possibly hurt your relationship with him.
For example, Nonny has side effects that could make him aggressive. How to deal with that you may ask? Remind him that smoking is bad and that it will only get worse. Reassure him by telling him that you are here to support him.
You also may ask, how do I give him moral support? It's simple, don't go away from him.
It sounds harsh, but it really works. Hang around him all day, even stay the night with him until he looks better.
If you accept this offer then come to my office tomorrow. I will contact your parents and Nonny's after you came.
Sincerely, Ms Maria
I didn't expect that kind of mail. Nonny always told me that it went alright, now he needs my help. Tomorrow, to that office!
General POV
Now Oona arrived at the office. She knocked on the door and soon after a woman appeared. "Hi, you must be Oona. Come in please." "Hi." Oona said kindly. The 2 entered the building. "I'm Ms Maria. Let's not beat around the bush. We are here for Nonny." Oona sat down and nodded. "I suppose you accepted my offer, or else you wouldn't be here." "Yes, I will do anything for Nonny." Oona answered. "Your enthusiasm is great. So your objective is simple, be with Nonny 24/7 until I see it's better. Do things you guys like to do together, don't let him think about his addiction. Reassure him that you're here for him." "Yes, I read that in your letter." Oona said. "Do you accept then?" "Of course!" "Good, it will be a lot easier for everyone, for him, for his parents, for you... I'll just need the confirmation of your and his parents." "I'm sure they will accept." Oona said. "That's all I had to say then. I will call them immediately."
Ms Maria called Oonas and Nonnys parents who gladly accepted. Oona returned home to take all the stuff she needed, said goodbye to her parents and went to Nonny. "She would do anything for him, beautiful." Oonas dad said.
That's gonna be all for this chapter. If you enjoyed it, make sure to review. It isn't a lot of effort, but it pleases me. Goodbye!
