Ren POV
I look over to the little girl sitting across from me. She's nervous. Her hands are practically shaking.
I remember me being like that the first couple of weeks my parents forced me to come here. I always told them I was fine and I didn't need it but my very first session I refused to look doctor P. in the eyes and after a while I burst into tears. I still can't believe I had a meltdown in front of him.
I've come a long way since then.
Ms. Heather comes into view, signing to let me know it's my turn. I got up from the soft beige sofa signing that I wanted to talk to her.
'Ren'
'Ms. Heather' I signed back with a polite smile. Can you tell me about the raven haired girl sitting on the armchair? I can tell she's nervous'
'Hannah' 'Poor thing's been through some stuff and it was decided by the higher up's that therapy was non negotiable. Today is her first day'
I nod looking over at Hannah who's picking at her fingers. 'Brb'
I walk over, stooping down so we'd be the same eye level. "Hi I'm Ren" I begin "Don't worry the first session isn't that bad. Most people tend to ignore the therapist and sit in silence for the entire session. I don't blame you if you did that too, I did that for all my sessions here for the first month."
"It Can be hard to open up to a complete stranger but I promise It'll feel like chatting with an old friend-" "Here take this" I say pulling out a yellow and black fidget spinner placing it on her lap. "It's much better than picking at your fingers." She looks up at me with a faint smile saying a small 'thank you' her honey coloured eyes glossing over.
I send a nod at Ms. Heather seeing a hand over her heart from the corner of my eye.
I see the familiar door with doctor Pepper's name on the gold plaque attached to the beige door. I don't bother knocking, pushing the door forward revealing him sitting happily in the orange armchair in a pastel blue and white room. It stands out from the whites, beige and blue theme.
"Hey Doc"
He sends me a friendly wave sitting upwards at the edge of the chair. I take a seat on the couch, getting myself comfortable.
"Soooo Ren"
"Sooooooooooo Doc" I mimicked "Before you ask today I'm feeling good-great actually. WHy you might ask."
I pause giving suspension before continuing "June made me happy, made me feel like me, She's literally a ball of happiness. If happiness was a person It would be her"
I'm sure I was grinning like an idiot right now I was-am a happy idiot.
Doc nods in understanding, smiling with me. But mine was more prominent.
I'm sure I resembled that cat from Alice in wonderland.
Ok that might be an exaggeration but the point is I was smiling har- a lot. I was definitely smiling a lot.
He urges me to continue "It's like every time she's around I feel happier and less grumpy according to Ares and when she's gone I miss her. A lot ""I'm deeply in love with her Doctor P. Definitely someday I'm gonna put a ring on her finger. Oh Annnd when that happens you'd better be there. So I'm giving you an early future invitation"
I say all in one breath.
wow
I think I surprised myself there. I don't usually ramble like this.
Bet it's the girlfriend effect. Maybe tik tok was right.
I blink looking at Doc finding him already looking at me with one of his stupid faces. "What?" I ask
'Nothing'
"It's just that she's changed you over these last few months, more than therapy has. You're more happy and not scowling as much and you talk more. Like a chatterbox these days."
I mock offence at the last sentence before laughter escapes my lips
"hmm" I hum
"Doc Lemmie show you the picture Junie and I took on our road trip"
I pull out my phone. Going through my recent pictures. More than half are filled with pictures of me and June or just of my June.
I pass my phone to Doc, gauging his reaction.
The rest of our session was filled with laughter and smiles as I recalled some of the events that we captured.
