Therapy Session [Completed]

Inconvenient Circumstances

"Baby sis." Haley smiles at me when she walks into the kitchen. I was sitting at the table with a bowl of cereal in front of me as my eyes were on her.

I nod towards her as I took a bite of my cereal and heard her going through the fridge for something.

"How are you?" She asks as she turns towards the table and places the orange juice down.

Nodding again, I look down at my bowl as I stirred the cereal around before looking up at her as she was watching me.

"What's wrong? And don't say it's nothing cause I know you."

I shrug as I stared at her before seeing her cross her arms while raising an eyebrow.

"Just tired."

"How late did you stay up last night?"

"Not late."

She slowly nods as she was studying me, before asking the question I was dreading.

"How's therapy been this week? Any progress?"

Looking at her for a second before looking away and messing with the milk in my bowl. I was trying hard not to make eye contact and maybe she wouldn't ask any more questions or find out.

"Morgan?"

I shrug as I kept my head down, messing with the milk.

"Morgan?"

This time I looked up and saw her watching me, waiting for an answer. But I didn't want to tell her or say anything about what's been going on this week.

"Tell me. Now."

I sighed as I looked down and tried gathering up the courage before slowly leaning back and looking at her.

"I.. haven't went to therapy.. all week."

She stared at me, not saying anything and I knew she was processing everything.

"What? Why?"

"I just haven't felt like going. I've been.. sick."

"Morgan.. that's the oldest excuse in the book. You've been sick for a good while now." She shakes her head. "What's the real reason?"

I shrug as I look down at the table, avoiding eye contact and wanting to get out of this conversation more than anything.

"Morgan."

Looking at her, she was giving me that same look mom always gave us when we were in trouble and she wanted answers from us.

"I just.. didn't feel like going."

"You can't jus decide not to go when you don't want to."

"Well, I did." I got up and tossed my bowl in the sink and walked out of the kitchen.

Haley was right behind me.

"We need to talk, Morgan. We never talk and there's clearly something going on. I'm worried about you."

As I stopped at the top of the stairs, I turned to face her. "Don't worry about me."

She gives me a look. "You're my sister. Of course I'm going to worry about you."

"Don't. I'm fine." I started walking to my room.

"Morgan."

Haley was following behind but I made it to my room before she could get me and was about to shut the door when she stopped it.

"Morgan.. please."

"I'm ok. Just need some alone time."

She stares at me for a moment as I was telling her with my eyes that I was ok.

She slowly let's the door go and steps away as I nod towards her and shut the door.

Once the door was shut, I walked to my bed and sat down. I stared at the floor for a moment before reaching over and grabbing my phone.

When I unlocked it, I saw missed calls and messages flooding my notifications.

It was Miss Arianna.

That Monday when I went to see her, I couldn't go back. At least not right now cause I had a million thoughts running through my head from that day.

I didn't tell her I wasn't coming back for a while and she's been sending me messages and calling me ever since.

Ignoring the messages, I leaned back on the back and stared up at the ceiling. I sighed as I shut my eyes and wish I was somewhere else.

Somewhere far away.

Away from all of this.

As I was laying there, I leaned my arm up and searched blindly for my speaker remote. I felt around then grabbed it and turned the speaker on before playing music.

I laid there with my eyes closed and listened to the music that was echoing through my room as it put my mind to ease.

After a few minutes of letting songs pass, I felt my phone start vibrate before it started ringing. I opened my eyes and grabbed it before looking at the screen.

Miss Arianna's name was on the screen and I stared at it, not knowing what to do or if I should answer it.

I stared at it for a few moments before it stopped ringing. I waited for a moment and saw a text come through.

Morgan please call me

I sighed as I stared at the text for a moment then looked up at the ceiling and thought about calling her back but didn't want to.

Holding my phone up, I stared at it for a moment before going to her number and hovering my finger on the call button.

After a moment, I pressed it and slowly brought the phone to my ear. I heard it ring a few times before she answered.

"Morgan?"

It took a moment for me to respond.

"Yeah."

"I was so worried about you.. why haven't you been answering my calls? I've been trying to call you for almost a week. Are you ok?"

I stared at the ceiling then closed my eyes and sighed. "I'm fine. Just had a lot on my mind and needed alone time."

It was silent on her end for a moment.

"Does it have anything to do with what I said Monday?"

I was hesitant to answer cause I knew it had something to do with that but I didn't want her knowing.

Which she already knows anyways.

"Not really."

"Morgan, don't lie to me."

I sighed. "A little."

"Morgan, I'm sorry. I told you I can't control these feelings and I wish I did." It was silent for a moment as I was thinking. "You need to come back to therapy."

Opening my eyes, I stared at the ceiling for a moment. "Yeah.." I look over at the wall as it was silent on her end.

"Let's talk, ok?"

"When?"

"Now."

I slowly sat up and looked towards the door as Haley was standing there. She was leaning against the doorway as I heard Miss Arianna on the phone.

"Morgan?"

"Yeah.."

Haley gave me a look as I was sitting there not knowing what to do. I didn't want to tell Miss Arianna that I'd call her back cause I probably wouldn't.

But Haley was staring at me and I didn't know how to continue this conversation.

After a moment, I saw her look at me once more before walking out and shutting the door behind her.

Sighing, I look down at the floor. "Ok.. let's talk."
