Hey guys, please don't kill me for not updating! School started again and I have a really big test coming up. I'm actually ahead of schedule; I wasn't expecting to get this up til my birthday (27th September) but you won't be getting any more after this until the October half term. My German test is the last day of term so I will be revising til then. I'll probably upload about 3 in that week and go back to about once a week.
DISCLAIMER: I don't own House :( or anything else you may recognise :((
Allison ran home with Remy, grabbed her poster and asked if her mum could take them to therapy
'We'll be late otherwise'
They were quiet on the car ride there, not speaking once. They didn't know why, but they were both equally nervous about going into therapy today. Maybe it's because they were a couple, or nothing had really happened since their last appointments. Allison jumped slightly as she felt Thirteen's shaky hand cling onto her own. Glancing across Allison noticed her own worry mirrored in Thirteen's and squeezed her hand tightly. Allison leaned across and kissed Remy lightly, touching their foreheads together. Looking into her eyes Allison whispered softly
'It'll be okay'
Thirteen just smiled, showing that she believed what was being said. Allison smiled back at her but it quickly faded when she realised they were at the therapists. Getting out the car, she held a hand out to Thirteen to help her out. Grinning at the gesture, Thirteen took her hand but didn't let go. Walking in, Thirteen and Allison took seats side by side in the waiting room. They didn't talk. It wasn't as if they didn't have anything to talk about, they were just too nervous. Allison voiced her thoughts
'Why are we so nervous?'
It was barely a whisper but Thirteen caught it, sighing she thought for a while
'I don't know, I honestly don't. Maybe it's because we have to tell him about us. I'm scared what he's going to say, he might not like it...'
Allison nodded at this 'It's okay, it's not like he can actively stop us, just advise us against it. You never know though, he might think it's a good idea? Think about it, neither of us have many friends and I think we can make this into a stable relationship; we just have to prove it to him'
Remy smiled, leaning against her girlfriend, snuggling into the crook of her neck and inhaling Allison's scent. She smelled like roses and vanilla. Remy loved that smell, she associated it with Allison, which in turn made her feel safe. Remy buried herself further into the blonde which earned a chuckle of amusement.
'Remy, what're you doing?'
Remy smiled into Allison's neck 'Jest smelling'
Allison smirked, knowing where she was going with this 'smelling?'
Remy chuckled slightly, liking how her girlfriend played along 'I'm making a memory'
Before she answered, Allison thought carefully, she knew what Remy would have to say next and didn't know how she would feel about it. Unfortunately Remy noticed her hesitation and decided to jump in, although her words were somewhat muffled as she was speaking into the other girls neck
'You smell like roses and vanilla, I love it; it makes me feel...I don't know, content would be the closest word I suppose'
Allison hooked her fingers under Remy's chin and tilted her head, causing them to make eye contact. What she saw shocked her. Despite Thirteen's steady tone she had tears in her eyes, giving her beautiful crystal eyes a glassy look.
'I...Remy...I'm sorry'
Wiping her eyes, Remy smiled 'Its okay, I could live for years and years, I don't know'
Allison leaned her head onto Thirteen's, breathing in her scent. Something was different but she couldn't quite tell what it was. She was just about to question this further when Rachel appeared
'Remy Hadley, please'
Thirteen took a deep breath and stood up. She turned to look worriedly at Allison
'Ally...what do I say?'
Allison smiled comfortingly at her 'Don't worry, just tell him whatever you want'
Thirteen nodded before heading into the office.
Thirteen's POV
I shuffled nervously into Dr Taub's office, trying my hardest to prevent the start of my session for as long as possible. I knew I looked like shit, I had just been crying for gods sake. I hoped he wouldn't pick up on this.
I should be so lucky.
'Remy? Have you been crying?'
I literally just walked in the room, I hadn't even sat down yet. Could he not wait 2 minutes?!
'Um, kind of?'
'What does that mean?'
I sighed, this was going to be a long session.
'It means, I had tears in my eyes but I didn't actually cry...'
I unwillingly admit this to him, much to my annoyance. I didn't like admitting I was weak to anyone, most of all him. It would mean I'd have to talk through why and how it happened yada yada yada.
'And why did you nearly cry?'
'Me and Ally were just quoting one of my favourite movies at each other and one of the lines kind of struck a nerve'
Dr Taub looked at me, asking me to continue
'What was the line?'
I sighed 'years from now, when I'm all grown-up, I'll always remember my grandfather and how he always smelt of...peppermint and pipe tobacco'
I paused for a slight second 'but I was going to change it to fit me and Allison'
A look flashed across Dr Taub's face. I couldn't tell what it was, he masked it too quickly. It made me wonder though; would he approve of our relationship? What would he say? Did he think there were too many issues between us? There were so many questions and the answers would only lead to more questions. I was so confused. Apparently, Dr Taub was psychic as well as being a therapist. What a weirdo.
'In answer to your unspoken questions; yes I approve, I think it's great that you both have someone you can confide in completely, I do think you both have a lot of issues but none that you can't work through together by trusting and supporting one another'
I honestly felt like hugging the man. Right there. Fortunately I chose not to embarrass myself and instead just bounced in my seat a little. I glanced at the clock and realised I still had half an hour of my session left with nothing to talk about. Seeing my look at the clock, Dr Taub guessed my thought process once again.
'You can go, Remy; I shouldn't take long with Allison either. It appears we will be running ahead of schedule today'
Smiling he gestured to the door. As I left, I turned round to thank him only to hear a 'you're welcome' before I had even turned halfway. God this man was freaky.
I quickly hugged Allison, telling her everything would be okay before flopping down on the chair I had previously vacated and settled down to wait for my girlfriend.
You like? Do any of you know what film they were quoting in this chapter? It's one of my favourite films :).
