The story of you and I

CHAPTER 31

"What are you thinking, babe?" she said while stroking my hair. I sat on her couch to be at the same visual height.

"Ok, hear me out, I was thinking that maybe I should go to that session with Jordan..." Alex cocked her head as if trying to see if I was joking.

"You're playing a bad joke on me, aren't you? Don't play with my patience, Emma" she told me seriously. "Don't you see that what Jordan wants is couples' therapy, he still doesn't accept that you are no longer together"

"Just listen to me for a second, Jordan is not well, that's for sure" Alex snorted rolling her eyes "I honestly don't think he's still holding on to the idea of ​​our relationship, but if he is, then it makes a lot more sense, because that way his therapist can make him understand that we are over" Alex looked at me for a long time before running her fingers through her long hair.

"If you think that's the best, that's fine" she said shrugging her shoulders. I looked at her suspiciously, was she really ok with that. She snorted again. "It does make sense what you said, and you will be in front of his therapist, so it should be ok"

The next day I contacted Jordan to tell him that I was going to go with him to a therapy session, and to send me the address and time, he offered to pick me up me but I said no, that I preferred to meet him there at the indicated time. After a few minutes of finishing our conversation, he texted me the address and date and time of the appointment, it was scheduled for Friday at 6 PM.

When Friday arrived I was anxious to end this matter once and for all, the relationship with Alex had been tense since I told her that the session was confirmed, it was as if all the doubts she had had materialized. I left the office at 5:20 p.m. and went to the indicated address, I arrived at the building's parking lot with 5 minutes to spare, Jordan's car was already parked there. I got out of the car and texted Alex saying I was already there and that I will call her when I got out. I got to Dr. Stevens's office and the secretary told me to come in that they were waiting for me, I knocked on the door and walked in.

Dr. Stevens was sitting in a leather chair, he had gray hair and square glasses located right in the middle of the bridge of his nose, he got up and extended his hand to introduce himself, I smiled at him and did the same, then I looked over to Jordan, he was going to get up but I motioned for him to stay seated and sat on the other side of the couch across from Dr Stevens.

"Thanks for coming Emma, ​​I know it must not be easy. Jordan, why don't you tell Emma what we've been working on" Jordan was sunk in his seat looking at his hands, he cleared his throat and started talking about the incident when he hit that girl, what he felt when she rejected him and how he understood that he had acted wrong.

"Emma, ​​you make me happy" I frowned looking at him, you make me, is he speaking in the present tense? What the fuck... "and I want to apologize for the times I've lost my temper" he raised his eyes to look at me, I don't know what face I had, but Dr. Stevens looked at me tilting his head.

"Emma, ​​these sessions are very important, at this point I think we should start working with both of you, to solve your problems as a couple-"

"Nooo, no, no no" I raised my index finger and shook my head from side to side as the Dr. looked at me with a frown. "Dr. Stevens, I don't know what Jordan told you, but we are not together-"

"Emma, ​​please" Jordan interrupted me.

"Jordan, it's Emma's turn, let's hear what she has to say" Dr. Stevens said softly.

"We broke up months ago, if I agreed to come to this session is because deep down I appreciate Jordan and I want him to get better, but I need you to make him understand that he and I will never, never be a couple again" I said the last sentence looking staring at Jordan.
