"How'd you know where I was?" Carter asked as she glanced at her Auntie who was seated in the passenger seat
"Milan called me. She told me a few things that's been happening lately- well since you left New York."
Carter just slowly nodded her head keeping her eyes on the road. They were about five minutes away from her home.
Those five minutes consisted of quietness until they pulled up in her garage.
She knew that needed to hop out of the truck and go inside to pack some clothes but Carter body wouldn't let her.
As much as she didn't want to hear or talk about anything she knew that she NEEDED to.
She sighed and leaned back in her seat.
Auntie May clamped her hands together, "Talk to me. What's going on?"
"Just a bit tired and stressed. I'm sure it doesn't compare to all the stress I've been giving Kirah though." She chuckles dryly
She rubbed her chin, "I guess I should explain everything huh?"
The two got out of the truck and walked inside the home.
Carter sighed walking around to grab a bag and start packing some clothes before running everything down to her Auntie. From what happened in New York with the therapist to what happened after she made it back to Atlanta and now with Kirah being rushed to the hospital.
"Wow. That's a lot." Auntie May said sitting down on the couch
"Yeah I know." Carter said
"Firstly, I want to say that I'm sorry that your experience with that therapist went that way. I know it hurts finally trying out a therapist for the first time in years just for it to end up terrible. That lady doesn't deserve to be a therapist at all. She's obviously having some inside hurt of her own to be able to make others feel so bad about themselves. How come you didn't just go to Kirah's therapist? The one you told me about? Don't you guys have a pretty okay relationship?"
Carter shrugged, "Because I didn't want to be so clingy. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate Dr. Jackie and all the her help that she's given me in the past. But she's Kirah's therapist, she's always been that way before I came. She's someone that Kirah goes to about her problems not mine too."
"Carter I don't think it's like that. I think Kirah kind of expects you to go to Dr. Jackie. If not then she would've went with you somewhere else to get tested but instead she trusted you with her therapist. Plus,you said Dr. Jackie is pretty straight forward. I'm sure if she felt like she was overstepping her job then she would've told you."
"I guess." She said, "It's cool though, I won't be doing any more therapy sessions from now on."
"Carter don't do that. I get that experience sucked but you still mentally need help and I'm not saying that to make you feel embarrassed. I'm saying it because it's the truth and I care about how you're doing up there in that head of yours."
She shrugged, "I'm just doing."
"That's not a good enough response for me. You still should talk to someone."
