One Week Later-Visitors Day: 4:30 P.M
"Thank you once again for all the help you have given to my son." A thankful mom said for the millionth time shaking Dr. Sharia's hand.
"It's my pleasure." Denise said with a smile.
The mother walked off and Denise let her smile fade. God her cheeks hurt from smiling so much. She thought she could enjoy a peaceful lunch out in the open terrace. What was she thinking? She could go to her office for some peace and quiet…
No. She didn't go there unless she had to. Denise shook her head as she took another bite of her salad. It had been a week since Chris and her had a little therapy session. The week felt like a year to her. But needless to say, she was doing well. She couldn't say the same for Chris though. She hadn't seen him much since the confrontation. He never scheduled sessions with her anymore. When she saw him in the hall they would just have brief conversations and be on their way. Denise wondered what could possibly be going on with him. Why was he avoiding her? Denise sighed as she tried to get rid of the thought.
"You seem to be popular Denise." Christina, the activities manager, pointed out as she sat across from Denise.
"Too bad I can't eat because of it." Denise added with a laugh.
"So how has that wrestler been?" Christina asked.
"I wouldn't know. Haven't seen him in a week." Denise told her without looking up from her salad.
"Oh. So Dr. Aiken wasn't lying then…" Christina said before trailing off.
"Wait. Chris is seeing Dr. Aiken?" Denise asked, instantly filled with anger.
"I guess so. I don't think it's doing much for him though. Every time he comes out worse then before. But you know Aiken more then anyone here." Christina pointed out.
"Please, for the love of God, don't remind me." Denise warned.
"Sorry. Didn't know it was still a touchy subject." Christina said holding her hands up in defense.
Denise rolled her eyes as she got up to throw her trash away. She checked her cell in her pocket for the time. 4:45. Visitors day was almost over. She really enjoyed having her day off though. But what Christina told her had her head spinning in circles. Chris was going to Aiken? What would he do that for? Denise decided to go find him and ask herself. She roamed the halls, saying hi to people as she passed by. She ended up outside once more, this time in the front. The first thing she saw was that blonde head of his. She smiled as she was about to walk up to him. Suddenly she looked at who he was with.
And she wasn't too happy either.
"I missed you Candice babe! And you too Kel Bell." His voice rang out.

Chris's POV
This day was so great. I had my two best girls at my side. I must say, it was a surprise to see them show up. But the moment I did, it was like I never quit. I looked to my left to see Denise standing there, staring at me.
Shit. Dr. Sharia.
I wonder if she knew already that I bailed on my sessions with her. Don't get me wrong, I missed the hell out of that woman. She pushed me to extremes no one ever could. But I just had to leave her. I just can't say why right now.
"Baby, you look so out of it." Kelly said with concern, bringing her hand to my cheek.
"Unsettled is more like it. What's going on in that mind of yours Chrissy Boo?" Candice asked, placing her hand on my other cheek.
"Now ladies. There is no need to worry about me. I'm fine." I lied pushing their hands down and taking them into mine.
"Vince tells us that your making good progress." Kelly told me cheerfully.
"I am indeed. I'll be back in no time, don't you worry my sweet." I told Kelly winking at her.
"What about me Chris?" Candice asked pouting.
"Of course you too! I've missed my two best girls since I left." I said reassuring the both of them.
The girls giggled and leaned in to lay their heads on my shoulders. I felt like I was on such a high right now. These girls made me feel invincible when I was with them. I soon noticed that Candice had fallen asleep on my shoulder. Kelly and I looked over at her and laughed.
"Poor girl. Must have had a long night you two." I joked.
"Chris, let's get serious. Are you really getting help?" Kelly asked me.
Wait. Since when was Kelly ever serious? She never was! She was always fun and outgoing! Never serious. Not in the time I knew her. And since when could she ask these kinds of questions? I gulped as I looked back into her eyes.
"I'm doing the best I can." I told her.
"Why did you switch…" Kelly was about to ask before a shadow covered us.
I looked up to see Dr. Sharia hovering over me. And trust me, she didn't look to happy. I managed to smile as I got up, causing Candice to fall over on the bench. She didn't even wake up!
"Dr. Sharia! I want you to meet my friends! Sleeping Beauty right here is Candice and Barbie right here is Kelly." I said pointing them out.
"It's nice to meet you." Kelly said holding out her hand.
"Chris we need to talk." Denise said ignoring Kelly.
"I'll be back." I told Kelly with a wink.
Kelly smiled at me as we walked off. Soon Denise grasped my arm and pulled me into the building. God what was so urgent that she needed to talk to me? She pulled me into one of the back hallways and let go of me.
"What's this I hear of you bailing on me?" Denise asked.

3rd Person POV
"I don't know what your talking about." Chris lied.
"Yes you do. You've been having your sessions with Aiken instead of me. What could I have possibly done to offend you in any way?" Denise asked, almost pleading.
"Nothing. Just wanted a change of scenery that's all." Chris told her.
"Is that also why you brought those sluts here today?" Denise asked, narrowing her eyes.
"They are not sluts!" Chris told Denise defensively.
"Oh yes they are. Did you see what they were wearing? If you don't think that black minis and tube tops are slutty your out of your mind." Denise said looking over at the two divas.
"It's what they wear on TV. I'm use to it." Chris said with a shrug.
"Oh my god you are helpless…" Denise said walking off.
"What? I'm helpless because I'm defending my friends?" Chris yelled at her.
"They aren't your friends. Their your…sex toys! When they realize that you've recovered that your not addicted anymore they'll drop you as quick as you can say 'sex addict.'" Denise spat out.
"What is your issue with them? Are you jealous or something? Are you jealous that I like them a hell of a lot more then I like you?" Chris asked.
"Why would I be jealous of those freaks? Never in my life!" Denise yelled.
"Really? Because it seems like you are!" Chris pointed out.
"Look. I'm not gonna change for you to like me! You will never find me in a short skirt, revealing top, strappy heels with a sex addiction okay?!" Denise shouted.
"Really? I already found you with another one." Chris said harshly.

Chris's POV
It wasn't till after I said the words did I know how much they hurt her.
The hurt in her eyes and the deep breaths she was taking made me see how she took my words. If I could have, I would have taken them away instantly. But I knew it wasn't going to be easy.
"Denise…" I pleaded.
"No. Don't talk to me." Dr. Sharia said turning around to walk away from me.
"Just please listen!" I begged.
"Not anymore." She said, almost like a whisper.
And just like as she turned the corner, she was gone. My first instinct was to run after to her. I wanted to take all the words back and tell her how I really felt. But my feet just stayed planted to the ground. I don't know why I couldn't move. Maybe because deep down I knew she wanted to away from me. I sighed as I ran my fingers through my perfect blonde hair. Getting Dr. Sharia back on her good side was going to be hard.
"Oh Chrissy!" Someone called from behind me.
Usually, her candy coated voice enticed me the moment I heard it. But it did nothing for me now. Maybe because I was too bummed and confused at the moment. I would just have to fake it and pretend I was happy to see her. Hey, I've faked it before.
"Hey baby." I said, turning around and plastering on a smile.
I'll be doing a lot of faking for a while now.
