Chapter 6
Chloe sighed, shifting in her seat as she sat in the waiting room, waiting for her first session with the therapist.
'How did mom even find that guy?' Chloe wondered. 'How expensive was it, I mean, we don't exactly have a lot of money, how could...'
"Chloe Price?"
She started but then stood up. "That's me."
The therapist nodded and held out his hand. Chloe hesitated before shaking it.
"This way please." He said before leading the way.
Chloe followed him, already wondering exactly how this was going to happen, her previous meetings with therapists hadn't exactly gone well. But then again, the more she thought about it, the more she realized she was misjudging therapists, they were nothing like what she had read in books and seen on TV.
Nevertheless, she wondered exactly what this guy had to offer that none of the other therapists had offered. Entering the office the therapist closed the door behind them and sat down, gesturing to the other chair on the other side of the desk. Chloe sat down and the therapist spoke.
"So, let's start with something simple." He said. "I've read your notes, the other therapists didn't work out for you. I want you to know this will be different, we'll take this at your pace, we go back to the start and try to understand."
Chloe bit her lip and nodded.
"So, in your own time, Miss Price."
She sighed and decided to begin. "Okay, it...it started four years ago...when my dad died..."
Joyce was lost in thought as she returned home.
'Chloe's still at the therapists, her sessions should have began by now. I just hope she's...alright.' She thought to herself.
However that wasn't all that had troubled her. The intervening days leading up to this one had been marked with some slightly issues for Chloe and Rachel.
"Joyce?"
She started, but then smiled. "Hello Rachel, how long have you been here?"
Rachel was sitting on the sofa, she sighed. "An hour at least, I just..."
She didn't need to ask about how Rachel got in, knowing Chloe had given her a key and even if that was not the case, she likely would've emulated Chloe and come in through Chloe's bedroom window.
"You look troubled." Joyce noticed.
Rachel sighed. "I just...Chloe and I haven't been, well, ever since we spoke..."
Joyce sighed too but nodded. She had expected this, she know Chloe felt hurt by Rachel going behind her back and talking to her.
"I know what you're about to say Rachel." Joyce said softly. "Listen, it may not seem that way, but Chloe isn't really mad at you. She's hurt by you going behind her back, but just give her some time."
Rachel bit her lip. "Are you sure, I mean..."
Joyce nodded. "Yes, just give her a chance, wait until after the first session, she'll come around."
Rachel nodded again, looking hopeful; Joyce smiled too.
Rachel shifted her weight from foot to foot as she waited outside the therapists office for Chloe.
'Well, here we go...I just, I hope Joyce was right.' She thought nervously.
She tensed, knowing she'd soon find out as Chloe exited the building. Chloe stopped too, when she saw Rachel.
"Chloe, hey...I just, I came to see how you got on..." Rachel began, nervous as hell.
To her relief Chloe smiled before hurrying over to her.
"Hey Rach, everything was...was pretty amazing actually, we made a good start." She said.
Rachel nodded slowly and Chloe sighed.
"I'm sorry if I was so...distant with you, I just...needed time to process everything." She said before smiling. "C'mere."
Rachel just laughed, relieved as she and Chloe embraced and kissed, everything just felt right away.
End of chapter, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.
