Big, Little and Tiny Sef <3

Mature? I hardly know her!

CW: mentions of suicide and passive suicidal ideation.

Yusuf's POV:

I walked into the room, standing by the doorway for a few seconds in silence.

"I'm Stella, it's nice to meet you."

I nodded.

"Would you like to come and sit down?"

I took that as her saying I had to sit. I sat down across from her and took a deep breath.

"Do I just start talking?" I asked as I picked at the skin around my thumb.

"You can talk, or I can ask questions."

"What do I talk about?"

"Anything."

"My dad?"

"You could talk about your father."

"Momma?"

"You could talk about your mother's passing."

"Do I have to talk about that?"

"Yusuf, you can talk about anything. It doesn't have to have caused you any trauma. As long as you feel you are getting something out of this, I'm doing my job correctly."

"I can talk about my boyfriend?"

"Of course you can, what's his name?"

"He's not actually my boyfriend. More like my best friend that kisses me sometimes. He's called Jace."

"Ahh, do you want him to be your boyfriend?"

"Maybe. I don't know if I'm gay though, I definitely like like him but I'm not sure if I'd ever like like a girl. It's confusing."

"Well, you are only twelve, you've got many years to figure out your sexuality. Just accept things as they come and try to make the best of it. If you like Jace in a romantic way, tell him. The worst answer you'll get is a no, but I don't think that's going to happen." Stella spoke with a little smile.

"What can't I talk about?"

"Like I said, you can talk about anything. Most things you could say are confidential, if you had plans to hurt yourself or others, I would have to get the police involved. Other than that, nothing you say has to leave these four walls from my mouth."

"When Momma died, I wanted to die too. I wasn't actually going to do anything but I just wished that something would happen to me. I love her so much and I couldn't bear living without her. Would you have to tell someone about that?"

"That's called passive suicidal ideation. You had those thoughts, not a plan. If you felt like that now, I'd have to talk to your foster family to ensure that passive doesn't become active."

"Not really. Sometimes. I just miss my momma."

"I can imagine. Do you think you are in danger when you feel like this?"

"No. Just upset. Angry."

"Angry?"

"I could've helped. She signed a DNR, because she was going to die anyways. I think she would've been okay if the doctors didn't make me get off her."
