Therapy Session - Alexia Putellas

47.

Special thanks to Eliza!

Erin couldn't breath.

She holds onto the pen, staring at the thin line on the papers in front of her before looking up, seeing the brown haired woman now standing there in the door, Magda stepping aside to let Alexia in.

"Alexia, what an surprise", Emma suddenly speaks, getting up from her seat to shake the Spanish's hand but Alexia's eyes were only looking at that blonde sitting there.

This was the only thing she was interested in.

"Emma, come on we'll go outside for a second", Austin quickly says, grabbing Emma's arm and pulling the curious assistant aside before she was able to reach Alexia.

Magda quickly closes the door, leaving Alexia and Erin alone for the first time since the blonde got fired.

Neither of them could say anything, Alexia's eyes water up as her cheeks turn red, the sight of that broken blonde in front of her making her heart sink.

She felt so bad.

Erin just stares at Alexia. Of course she sees how hurt and worried the captain looked. The last couple of days had really been leaving their marks.

"Bonita", Alexia breathes nervously.

Her eyes bubbling up when she feels her throat tightening at that sight. Why did it take her so long to realize that she just wanted that? That she just wanted Erin?

"What are you doing here?", the therapist asks, her voice so small when she sees Alexia approaching her, the brown haired woman now standing on the other side of that huge table.

"I need to tell you what happened, Erin. Lo siento mucho... I'm so sorry it took me that long... te lo ruego", Alexia speaks, struggling with speaking anything else than Spanish in that moment.

There was just too much going on inside her head.

She'd been going over this conversation a hundred times for the last few hours, but now that Erin was here, right in front of her, Alexia had a complete blackout.

She never had that.

Erin just sits there, listening to what the captain was saying when she puts the pen down, folding her hands over the papers to show Alexia she was going to listen.

Yet, she couldn't look at her.

Seeing Alexia this hurt and broken was already destroying Erin inside and she knew that if she would look up, she wouldn't be able to control herself.

Because Alexia really hurt her.

"First, I'm really sorry that you lost your job. I can't help but feel like it is because of me and I'm so damn sorry for it", Alexia starts nervously, staring at Erin who still had her head down while Alexia stands in front of her with the table separating them.

Somehow, Alexia was too scared to walk around. She was so scared she'd do something wrong.

"When Jenni and I got in an argument yesterday, I realized that you were actually coming over the evening after you got fired. She lied to me after you ran away and I was simply to stupid to realize it was you", Alexia mumbles, her words so quick and unsure as she just keeps speaking, knowing she wouldn't get an answer from Erin anyway.

The only thing she could see was the blondes cheeks turning red, her fingers pressed together so tightly that her knuckles were turning white.

"I hate Jenni for doing that to me. To us! If she wouldn't be then-", Alexia shrugs, taking another step closer but surprisingly gets interrupted by Erin.
