Narry Story

Chapter 24

Niall's Pov:

I was walking with my head down into therapy.

I knew everyone was staring at me.

I was new, and hadn't met the rest of them, except for James.

James smiled, and pulled me down to sit next to him.

I flinched at the sudden contact, and James automatically pulled away.

Great now he probably thought I was a weirdo.

Then the therapist came out, and sat down at the front of the group.

It was a young guy, who was dressed in a sweater and slacks.

Professional, yet comfortable.

I envied his style, I could never pull that off.

"Hello everyone my name is Judas." "I'm your therapist," Judas says smiling at all of us.

I just avoided eye contact, I didn't want to spill anything just yet.

"I know talking about this is tough but it's better to talk about it." "Instead of going to your destructive choices," Judas explains.

I was zoning out, and stared at James.

James was surprisingly paying attention though, which I didn't get.

"So who wants to go first?," Judas asks.

Nobody raised their hand, until someone random did.

I didn't recognize them, but they started talking.

So the spotlight was off of me for now.

Until individual therapy that is.

Fuck my life.

We had a little bit of down time, until that had to happen though.

I would be first, since it was my first day and all.

But I followed James back to our room, and for once he was quiet.

Which was troubling.

I was used to his babble, and making me feel better about everything.

"Everything okay James?," I ask hesitantly.
