PrincessIndia- I like updating sooner too! :) As for Nat, we'll just see what happens! I'm glad you like the story, and thanks for the review!

PEETAMELLARKLOVER123- I'm glad you liked the chapter! I did too. Yeah, I was kinda sick of her going to the hospital. April's not the type of girl who likes it either. As for Matthew, we'll see what happens there. Thanks for the review!

Mhpropp16- thank you so much! I'm so glad you like my story! I think it's funny how you think Matthew's annoying. :) thanks for the review!

Kiren- hmmmm, we'll see what happens! Haha, thanks for the review!

I'm sorry if these reviews sound the same, but I don't want to give anything away! Enjoy! -ReadLikeYouMeanIt

Mom and Dad are having me see a therapist. They're not on staff at the palace. They're actually a guidance counselor at the local university. I think they could help me. I hope they can help me. They're coming at two this afternoon. Matthew offered to sit with me, but I told him this is something I need to do on my own.

I pace back and forth in the Women's room. We decided this would be the best place since it has comfortable furniture, but it's still formal, and it's a smaller room, but it's still a pretty big room. I begin biting my nails. I never bite my nails. I hate biting my nails, actually. It just grosses me out. That's how nervous I am. I'm biting my nails. I look at the clock. 1:57, it reads. He still has three minutes to get here. I try to sit down, but that doesn't help anything. It actually makes things worse. A maid left a glass of water in here, so I begin sipping that. I continue pacing back and forth. I look at the clock again. It's been a minute. I sigh. I just want this to be over with. I want this all to be over. I just want things to be normal. I guess that doesn't usually happen when you're a princess, though. It's now 1:59. My heart is pounding in my chest. Please hurry, I think. Please, please, please,

The door finally opens just as the clock gets to 2:00. A young woman with brown hair, glasses, a pant-suit, and a notebook walks in. She can't be older than twenty-four.

"Hello, April," she says, closing the door. "I hope it's okay for me to call you April. Your parents said that would be okay."

"Um, yes. That's fine." I say.

She holds out her hand for me to shake. "I'm Dr. Travis."

I stare for a second, then I finally shake her hand. "You—You're Dr. Travis?" I ask.

"Yes," she laughs a bit. "I know, you didn't think I was going to be a woman. Or this young."

"Well, it is a bit unusual. Not that it's a bad thing!"

"It's okay, April, you can relax. Please, sit down." She motions for me to sit.

I sit down, and we sit there quietly for a minute.

"So," she finally says. "Why do you think you're parents wanted you to see me?"

"Well, I kind of had a breakdown a few days ago. I think they're afraid it's going to happen again. Frankly, I am too." I respond.

"What do you think triggered this breakdown?"

"Stress. Definitely stress. There's been a lot of tension ever since my husband was kidnapped. Things have only gotten worse since he came back."

"So, what seems to be making it worse?"

I shrug.

"Come on, I'm sure you can think of something." She urges.

I sigh. "It's just...hard. It's hard knowing that you've hurt so many people to the extent that they want to go to war. It's hard trying to defend your country from psychos like them. It's hard coming up with a solution for so many problems."

"I see. Anything else? Is there anything else that could be triggering this?"

I think. Do I really want to tell her about Nat? "Well, it's been harder since my younger brother, Nathan, went on the mission. He's still receiving intensive care in the hospital wing. I haven't seen him since the rescue..."

After a few moments, she finally says, "Good. Did it feel better to let all of that out?"

I nod.

"Good. Anything else you want to tell me before we continue?"

I think. I might as well just tell her. "Well, there's one other thing..." I trail off.

"Go ahead. April, don't be afraid to tell me anything. I strongly believe in doctor-patient confidentiality. Anything said in this room stays in this room." She says in such a comforting way, I truly believe I can tell her.

"Alright," I sigh. "Ever since Matthew went missing, there's been...another person I've gotten close to. I met him in Calgary. He's been so nice to me and so caring. He's always been supportive and helpful. He always knows how to cheer me up. But, the problem is..." I can't even say it.

"I see. I sense a little love triangle."

I nod and shrug slightly. "The problem is, I'm married. I still love Matthew, and I don't want to betray him."

"I completely understand." She shifts a little bit in her seat. "I'm sorry, but I can't make this decision for you. You'll have to make it on your own. But I think I can help with the other things."

We spend the next hour doing exercises to help ease my stress a little. I feel much better by the time I'm done. She's also prescribing some medicine for me to help my anxiety. As she said before a lot of these decisions are just up to me, but there are people that will help me. I feel much more confident about what I'm doing now. I just need the right help.
