Double Trouble: Part 7

Chapter 25

[NAOMII'S POV]

I Flopped Down On The Plush Couch, Next To My Twin, And Crossed My Legs.

"Thank You For Joining Me This Morning. Now Which One Is Which Again?" He Asked.

"I'm Naomii. That's Nevaeh." I Said.

"I Apologize. You Two Are So Much Identical It's Amazing." He Said.

"Thanks." We Both Said Simultaneously. He Laughed As He Sat Back In His Chair And Pulled His Notepad Out.

"So Tell Me Ladies. What's The Problems That You Two Are Having With You Parents?" He Asked. I Sighed.

"Where Should We Start?" I Said.

"Anywhere You'd Like." He Said.

"We'll Start At The Beginning." Nevaeh Said.

***********

Once We Were Done Telling The Shrink Our Problems, He Said Nothing As He Wrote Whatever Down In His Notepad.

"Okay...So Naomii. Let's Focus On You A Bit." He Said.

"Okay." I Said.

"You Got Caught In A...Sticky Situation, And Now You And Your Parents Aren't Speaking; But Mainly It's You And Your Father That's Not Speaking." He Said.

"Right." I Said.

"Okay. Nevaeh...Could You Please Join Your Mother In The Waiting Room And Send In Your Dad." He Said. Nevaeh Nodded As She Walked Out The Room. Moments Later, My Dad Walked Into The Room.

"Hello Mr. Smith. Please Have Seat." He Said. My Dad Gave Me A Cold Stare As He Sat Down. I Squirmed As I Looked Down At My Legs.

"I Can Tell By You Two's Body Language That They're Is Some Negativity Here. So We're Gonna Try An Exercise Here." He Said, As He Stood Up.

"Mr. Smith. Could You Stand Up And Come Right Here?" He Said. My Dad Said Nothing As He Got Up And Did What He Was Told.

"Now Naomii. Can You Come Stand In Front Of Your Father." He Said. I Nodded And Stood Directly In Front Of Him.

"Now...Grab Each Others Hands And Close Your Eyes." He Said. I Put My Hands Out, But My Dad Didn't Budge.

"Mr. Smith, In Order For This Excerise To Work You'll Have To Participate." Dr. Foster Said. My Dad Sighed And Grabbed My Hands.

"Good. Now...Close Your Eyes." He Said. I Did What I Was Told.

"Now Naomii...I Want You To Tell Your Father Exactly How You Feel." He Said.

"Well...Dad...I'm Sorry About What Happened Last Week. I Felt Like We Both Overreacted In A Childish Manner And..." I Began To Choke. Oh Fuck.

"And...These Last Few Days Have Been Hell. When You Yelled And Kicked Me Out...I...I Just Felt Like You Didn't Love Me Anymore." I Said. I Was Full On Crying Now.

"But I Miss You! I Miss Home! I Miss My Brothers And Sisters! I Miss It All. No Man Is Worth Me Losing My Family Over. I Just Hope One Day You Can Forgive Me And...I Am Just So Sorry Daddy." I Sobbed. He Said Nothing As He Watched Me Cry.

"I'm Sorry. I Can't Do This." I Heard My Dad Say, But He Sounded Different. I Looked Up At Him And Noticed He Was Crying. Before I Could Say Anything, He Stormed Out Of The Office.

"I'm Sorry...I Tried." I Cried.

"It's Quite Alright. You Did Great." He Said.

"Naomii? Are You Okay?" Nevaeh Said As She Pulled Me Into Her Arms.

"No. No I'm Not." I Said. I Released Myself From Her Hug, And Hurried Out Of The Office. I Ran And Ran And Ran, Until I Couldn't Run Anymore.

Oddly Enough, I Ended Up Back At My Grandparents House. No One Was Home, So I Had To Climb Through The Back Room Window Just To Get In. Once I Was In The House, I Quickly Went Into My Grandparents Room And Grabbed The 500mLg Ibuprofen. My Head Was Pounding And My Makeup Was Very Smeared. I Opened The Pill Bottled And Sighed.

"Fuck My Life." I Said As I Began Popping The Pills One By One. By My Twenty Sixth Pill, I Was Laid Out On The Bathroom Floor. Losing All Consciousness. Preparing Myself For A Deep...Deep...Sleep.
