Inked (After 4x13)

LONG BEACH

Hey Chris!😊

Hey!🙂

Just wanted to check up on you. That support group did you well, huh?

It did. Thanks. I'm actually gonna keep going, and the counselor offered some private sessions.

She was so nice I was like, what the heck? So, I showed up in her office.

Sessions have been really refreshing.

I'm glad to hear that👍

Yeah, I mean, I need to get out of the hole I dug myself into, really.

You know? It takes time. Each of us deals with grief our own way...you just can't let it destroy you.

Yeah....and hey, um...thanks so much for the support...for the non judgement!

I told you, I may kid around but I don't judge. I really want you to get better, feel better.

I appreciate it. I'm actually working on a couple of stuff.

Yeah?🤔

Yeah, been working on myself, not just workout and stuff but more of emotional and mind.
I thought at first it was kinda like a waste of time, but stuff really helps.

Really?😃

Look, forget about what other people think, it's about you and you only. Ok? People sometimes judge without knowing what's going on.

You've gotta do you, Chris.

I know, I know.

Is it working?

It is, actually. I'm eating better, my attitude's better. I'm not waking up in skanky motels anymore🤣

Good, coz I did not like the coffee from that machine at all!🤮

I don't know how you put up with me.

Well, somebody has to do it, right?

Yeah, I guess.

So, free day today. What are you up to?

Taking a break from the sessions and boxes here. I'm actually gonna treat myself! Shrink said it's ok to keep happy memories as long as they don't torture me and one thing I always remember Erika saying was getting matching tattoos.

So, I'm thinking of getting one for her

That is so cool, Chris. What number would this one be?

Man! I don't know. I stopped counting after 18🤷‍️

Woah! You sure love that ink. You gotta a place already?

Yeah. Got an appointment in an hour. Wanna come?

Never been to a shop before...sounds cool!

You ever thought about getting one?

Nah...not really into it, you know?

Yeah

My 🏍 or yours?

We're doing this again?

I'll go slow😉

Deal!

They met up in front of her apartment building, as Street handed her the helmet and she immediately put it on. She had sent him the pin, so he knew exactly where they were heading.
