"everyone—expect hayley—get out!" billie said as she entered the green room after her show finished. she walked over to hayley and sat down next to her, waiting for everyone to leave. "please, haysie, can you go lock the door?" billie asked, throwing her head back. "yeah!" hayley chuckled, standing up. she sauntered her way over to the door and locked it. "i need a hug and my inhaler," billie uttered, wiggling her fingers. "right now," she added. hayley handed billie her inhaler.

"thank you." billie smiled, shaking her inhaler. she took two puffs and placed it on the table. she straddled hayley's lap, burying her face in her neck. "you okay, bil?" hayley asked, tightly wrapping her arms around her client. billie let out a quiet mewl, shaking her head. "i got you, bugsy," she whispered. billie let out a sob, clutching hayley's shirt. "oh, sweet girl..." hayley purred. "it's okay, hon," she murmured, rocking them side to side. "yeah, let it all out, bug," she cooed, caressing the back of billie's head.

"can you tell me what's wrong?" hayley questioned, her voice soft. billie pulled her hands in-front of her chest causing hayley to take her hands off billie. billie pulled her face out if hayley's neck to look at her. "no!" she cried. "tight!" she screamed, hitting hayley's chest. "inside voices, honey." hayley muttered, wrapping her arms around billie. "i know you didn't mean it." she hummed, rubbing billie's back. "deep breaths, bug." she said softly. "yeah, that's it!" she smiled. "how about we watch some office, yeah?" she asked earning a nod from billie.

billie shuffled around on hayley's lap so she was sitting sideways and grabbed her phone from the table. hayley gently wiped billie's tears away. billie looked into hayley's eyes with guilt. "i know you didn't mean to hit me." hayley said. "it's okay." she whispered, pulling billie into her chest. billie unlocked her phone and opened netflix. she clicked on 'the office' and turned her phone to the side. "you wanna have a little chat when you've calmed down?" hayley asked. billie nodded her head at her therapists question.

after thirty minutes or so billie had calmed down completely. "you feeling better?" hayley asked, caressing billie's cheek. billie nodded her head. "please don't let go." she mewled, cuddling into her therapist. "i've been having really scary dreams and visions..." she admitted, her voice cracking as tears pooled in her eyes again. "talk to me, hon." hayley murmured, running her fingers through billie's hair.

"um, it's basically a guy that, um, tries—and sometimes succeeds—to, um, touch me." billie sniffled. "a-and i saw him at the barricade." she shivered. "i'm so sorry, hon." hayley frowned. "that must be really hard." she hummed. "i'm really scared, hayley!" billie cried. "shh, i know, sweet girl." hayley cooed. "and some of my dreams, like, um, come true." billie hiccuped. "yeah, i remember you saying that, bug." hayley sighed, rocking billie in her arms.

"you're okay, honey." she said softly. "he-he looked at me in a weird way..." billie frowned. "how?" hayley inquired. "i don't know," billie mewled. "just- it's- i don't know," she stammered. "it was weird and it made me uncomfortable." she sighed. "you're okay," hayley said softly. "i'm sorry it made you uncomfortable, sweet girl." she murmured, wiping billie's tears. "i really appreciate you," billie whispered, wrapping her arms around hayley. "thank you for being here." she smiled. "no need to thank me, sweet girl." hayley murmured, poking billie's waist, earning a giggle from billie.

"be small?" billie asked. "you don't have to ask to regress, hon." hayley chuckled. "mmm, mommy," billie mumbled. "wan' watch!" she pouted. "what do you wanna watch, bug?" hayley questioned. "um, tiny c'ef s'ow!" billie grinned. "fin' it peas!" she mewled, handing hayley her phone. hayley looked through every streaming service billie had. "here you go!" she cooed. "t'ank you, mama!" billie grinned. "you're very welcome, bear!"

"aaaa!" billie dragged out. "hmm?" hayley tilted her head. "i 'ike dat!" billie squealed. "what? bear?" hayley asked. "uh-huh!" billie beamed. "i dirsty, mommy!" she whined. "i'll get you some water, sweet girl!" hayley smiled, moving billie off her lap. she stood up and walked over to the table and grabbed a water bottle for billie. she opened it before sitting back down. "here you go!" she purred. billie took the bottle out of hayley's hand and hesitantly put it up to her mouth.
