20. Dont Panic

Continuing from last chapter...

"I have to go Ali"

"Chill, don't panic. Just don't turn around"

"Don't turn around? You really think that he cant tell that its me?"

"Nah I don't think so. As long as you don't draw attention to yourself, you're good. Its too many families in here anyway and the co's are blocking the way now"

She nodded and nervously bit her lip while placing her hands under the table.

"Ma'am, hands above the table" a correctional officer yelled from across the room which made everyone look at her including sdot and gb hound.

She nodded but didn't say anything. She was too nervous to make any more movements or even speak at this point.

Ali looked at her and chuckled. "You know you can speak right? The co didn't tell you to stop talking"

"I know but im scared they might be looking at us. Hes not looking this way right?" she whispered.

"Who sdot and gb hound? Yeah, He keep looking this way but I don't think its because of you. The only thing he can see is the back of your head"

"Well why is he looking this way then? Do you two know eachother?"

"Yeah but not like that. He was always younger than us but he definitely around when we was all outside before covid hit"

"Ohh..."

"I see you acting all scared now so Im not gone hold you too long but I was wondering if you still seeing my mom for therapy?"

"No... I ended our sessions soon after you moved out"

"Why? Why would you do that? Just because we wasn't cool at the time, didn't mean you should have just stopped seeing her and getting the help you need"

"I know.. I just had a lot going on at the time.." she said while nervously playing with the ends of her hair.

"Well you seem like you still got a lot going on so you should go check in with her" he said while chewing on his gum.

"Why are you pressing me about going back? Am I missing something?"

"I want you to go back because I can tell you still trying to heal from everything in your past. You aint fully healed yet so you still carrying around that trauma and letting it affect you and your relationships and friendships now"

She stared at him while trying to process what he was saying. Maybe he was right? Maybe she wasn't fully healed yet.

"Your right Ali... Ill make another appointment with your mom even though im nervous to"

"Why you nervous?" he asked while trying to adjust himself in the hard metal chair and giving her his undivided attention.

"Because I haven't talked to her in so long. She will probably think that im still a failure for coming to see her again..." she said while looking down.

He slowly lifted her chin up from across the table. "Never that. Me and my mom still trying to repair our own relationship and she aint perfect either. Don't ever be afraid to express how you feel to nobody, you understand me?"

"TIMES UP!" One of the officers yelled.

She stood out of her chair but Ali grabbed her hand and pulled her back down.

"Wait, wait until sdot leave before you get up. Ill tell you when hes gone"

"Alright" she said while trying not to turn around and taking a seat in her chair again.
