Chapter 10
Chloe sighed, suddenly feeling more awkward than ever before, as she returned to her therapist's office. When she entered he had betrayed no surprise, but now that she sat opposite him, she wasn't sure where to even begin.
"Miss Price..." He began.
She swallowed nervously before replying. "I...I want to apologise for the last session. I, was holing back, because I, there was a lot of things I was afraid of...Things I was scared to lose."
He raised an eyebrow. "Scared to lose?"
"I see my dad in my dreams, like I said. I thought, if the dreams stopped; I'd lose him again, forget him." She remarked. "But then, I had another one, a couple of days ago, spoke to him again and he...he seemed to be trying to tell me, that it was okay, that I wouldn't forget him."
The therapist consider for a moment and then spoke. "Miss Price; these dreams where you talk to your father, they relate usually to, current events in your life, even though your father is, dead?"
Chloe sighed. "Yeah, I know, it sounds crazy; but that's what happens. I...I've been thinking lately, maybe it's just my subconscious talking to me, and that's how I see it?"
"That is, plausible, but we cannot be certain." He replied. "What is important right now is, how you feel, and what you think…?"
"I want to keep going; I've been feeling terrible and I'm sure this is the only thing that can help." Chloe replied at once. "I...I was holding back, but now it's time to be upfront and honest about all this. I...I'm done running, done hiding."
"Very well, Miss Price." The therapist replied with a gentle smile.
With that the session began.
Meanwhile, Rachel smiled lightly as she approached the house; it was remarkable how much things had changed since she found out the truth two years ago. Now, here she was, about to spend the day with her mother, her birth mother, as arranged beforehand. Knocking on the door she smiled wider as Sera answered and saw her.
"Hey mom."
Sera also smiled and hugged her. "Hello Rachel, it's good to see you, come in."
With that she entered and they headed through to the living room together. As they sat down Sera took note of her daughter's expression and pondered for a moment.
Finally she asked. "Rachel, is something troubling you?"
"I..." Rachel stammered, caught off guard; but quickly recovered. " Yeah, I've been, thinking about a lot of things lately."
Sera nodded. "Do you want to talk about it?"
Rachel thought for a moment. "It can't hurt; it's about, Chloe."
Sera brightened at once, remembering the girl, despite the darkness of their first actual meeting, they had come to know each other better since she had stepped back into Rachel's life and she was more than happy when she heard about Chloe and Rachel dating.
"Oh, how is Chloe?"
"That's the thing." Rachel said, making Sera tense, her smile drop. "She's been, she's not been doing too good lately, she's had problems with nightmares and insomnia, pretty bad. We tried to get her help, seeing a therapist and it worked at first until she just, stopped...But now, now things seem to be back on track."
"She's gone back to the therapist?"
Rachel nodded. "Yeah, I'm just hoping that whatever happens now, Chloe is able to get the help she needs."
Sera smiled again, softly and hugged her daughter. "I'm sure she'll make it, she has you after all, you care about her so much."
Rachel returned the hug, grinning. She felt a surge of confidence at her mother's words, maybe things would be alright after all.
