Chapter Seven

"Last week I was left of with the date right?" Ellie questions once she has settled into her normal chair.

Doctor James nods, "that's right, are you going to talk about that more today?" When Ellie nods she asks, "from your expression it seems like it went well."

Ellie nods, "in the end it did, but it kind of started out rocky."

The beginning it was really awkward because both Sean and I were feeling extremely guilty about lying to Craig and Ashley, they had never lied to us and we hated lying to them. But as always Sean was protecting my pride and my feelings so he went along with it no matter how bad it was making him feel. Not to mention that Ashley wasn't exactly ready to forgive Craig for breaking her heart...so we spent a lot of time in silence at dinner. So when we decided that maybe dinner wasn't the best idea we headed to a movie. I can't remember what the movie was but I do remember that Ashley and Craig made out through the previews and then through the entire movie.

By the time the movie ended Sean had to clear his throat to get Ashley and Craig's attention and we finally headed out of the house. Sean and I walked out of the movie, we both liked it so I guess that's what we talked about and it wasn't until we actually stopped that I realized, and Sean realize, that we had been holding hands the entire time.

"You really seemed to have clicked well with Sean." Doctor James comments.

Ellie nods, "we really did, almost immediately."

Ash was spending the night that night so she and Craig kissed good-bye and made plans for the next day and Sean and I just simply hugged. The entire walk home she talked about how she didn't think she would ever have been able to forgive Craig. But then as we got closer to my house she brought up Sean. She went on and on about how shocked she was when she found out about me and Sean, although she was upset she heard about it form someone else, but she was happy for us she thought Sean seemed good for me. I said something about how it was mostly circumstances that put us together. Ashley seemed satisfied with this response and she went back to her favorite topic, her and Craig being back together.

"So you think that it was circumstances that put you and Sean together?" Doctor James asks. "You don't think that you and Sean would have gotten together if Paige hadn't seen you after one of your meetings?"

Ellie shakes her head, "Sean and I are so different we never would have come together on our own. I mean before all of this we barely acknowledged each other when we didn't have to at meetings. I should go, my dad is supposed to come visit today, I want to be ready for when he comes."

Doctor James nods, "all right Ellie, take care and I will see you next week."
