Jessica's "Therapy" Session

Jessica Caesar was Piper's best friend. They'd been together since birth and no one knew Piper more than Jessica. She knew about her disorders and she was willing to remain by her side and care for her friend. She'd been through various obsessive phases already. There was the "Nick" phase, when Piper was obsessed about a cute male classmate. And then there was the more recent "Matthew Renner" phase, which was Piper falling head-over-heels in love with the famous hollywood actor.

Now Piper was in "obsessed about hockey and players" phase. Jessica liked hockey since birth actually. She'd grown up liking the sport thanks to her family and being in Boston, hockey was a huge cultural aspect. She'd dragged Piper into watching it and though Piper somewhat enjoyed it, she'd never been as big of a fan for the sport until now.

Jessica knew Piper was spiraling into her obsession and it was beginning to grow worse and worse. She had to confront her friend and figure out what was going on. Piper Peregrine, Jessica knew, had never spiraled this badly before. Something was definitely wrong and she had to find out and put an end to it.

Jessica pulled her phone out, standing in the center of her living room. She rapidly dialed her friend's phone and then put the cell to her ear. "Piper, please come over to my house. I need to talk to you. It's urgent. Also I haven't seen you in weeks now. I'm worried about you." She looked up at the fireplace in front of her. A huge reindeer head was sticking out from the stone of the fireplace and it was staring at her.

"Jess, you know that I don't like to talk...and if this talk is about THE talk...I don't wanna have it. But I'd love to come over, because you HAVE to see this one Boston player."

"Oh really?"

"Yeah."

"Who?" Jessica looked around the room, glimpsing each picture that hung on the walls of her Jungle-themed living room as she walked around mindlessly.

"He's serious eye candy...and he's just so amazing!"

"Is it Percy Kane?" Jessica walked up two stairs and into the kitchen to the side.

"No. Jeremy! Jeremy Sagan!" Piper cut off to let out a long romantic sigh. "He's the moon and sun!"

"Piper, just don't lose it too badly with him. You're lucky I stepped in with Matthew...you almost got ahold of his email to send him a dirty message. Please don't do the same with Jeremy or Percy. And don't you dare touch my handsome Jonny now!"

"Jonathan Getzlaf?" Piped questioned.

"Yeah. Now he's the moon and sun AND stars!" Jessica laughed at herself.

"I'm not going to send Jeremy a message about how I'd love to tie him up in my bed and make love to him. Come on Jess, hasn't even crossed my mind!" Jessica heard her friend sigh, annoyed.

"I'm worried about you Piper. Please don't go overboard with loving Jeremy."

"I'm not Jess. I'm fine! Jeremy's hot and I want his sexy ass in my bed. End of story." She sounded furious and pissed off and also, distracted.

It worried Jessica a lot and she knew she'd have to step in and conduct one of her various "therapy sessions with her friend. As much as she knew Piper hated them and talking about letting go and loosening up her "obsession", it was good for Piper and Jessica was the one keeping her friend in check. If Jessica didn't talk to Piper, the poor girl would run wild and turn into an insane psychotic rage of fangirling.

"Piper, I'm coming over now!" Jessica firmly said.

"There's no need. I'm watching a game. I'm watching the Jeremy Sagans vs the Shruingers!" Piper giggled and sighed. "Jeremy's just so sexy! OMG!! They just showed a baby picture of him on the TV....HE'S SO CUTE!!!!!!!!!!!!"
