One Month Later
"So how have you been Tiana?" Her therapist asked.
"I'm okay, I mean i'm better than I was. I feel weird sometimes but luckily I have Carl, he always helps me feel like myself again." She said slightly smiling at the mention of his name.
"That's good, Dear. And how have the meds been working?"
"Good I guess. I don't feel as depressed anymore but sometimes I don't feel anything."
"That's very normal for people who start taking anti-depressants. After a couple of months that feeling will stop because you body will be use to the meds." Her therapist explained.
After the session was over, Tiana walked out of the office and into the waiting room where Carl was sitting there, waiting for her like always. She smiled as soon as she saw him, he was the only one that could make her feel something.
"Hey, ready to go?" Carl said with a warm smile as she approached him.
"Yes." She replied as she grabbed his hand and held it tight.

"You okay, baby?" Carl said as they walked home. He noticed how quiet she was and how tightly she was holding onto to his hand.
"Yeah, Im fine."
"You sure?" He asked concerned.
"I'm just a little scared."
"Of what?"
"Losing you."
"You could never lose me, I love you forever." Carl said squeezing her hand.
"Yeah but what if something happens like last time? What if you get sick of me? Or what if-"
"Stop." Carl said standing in front of her as he made eye contact. "I love you, Tiana Miller. I will always love you, no matter what."
"I love you too, Carl Gallagher." She smiled, "Forever."
He grabbed her waist and smashed his lips onto hers and in that moment, all of her doubt and worry was washed away.
