JUST CREEPIN'

A'JOURIE WRIGHT
OCTOBER 15th; SUNDAY

"SO JOURIE, HOW have you been since the last time that I've seen you?" Latia questioned one of her favorite patients.

She was not supposed to have favorites but it was something about the girl that she liked. Along with that, jourie was always honest about her feelings and she had one of the most interesting stories she had ever heard of.

"Good," Jourie had her right leg crossed over her left one with her hands resting in her lap.

"Okayyy, what's the smile for?" Latia asked her. The smile wasn't huge but jourie just seemed to be more happy, and even appeared to be glowing.

That wasn't usual, truthfully.

"What smile?" Jouries face dropped realizing she had a smile on her face.

Latia figured she wasn't going say what was up so she would just question her. "How is everything going with your parents?" She asked.

"Good. On Wednesday me and my momma got pedicures together, and a massage. Felt so good. And I been having a lot of time with my dad working on cars and shit." Jourie explained with a slight nod.

Latia was writing, "okay what about you and your bestfriend?" She continued.

"Me and Maria good. We been good but yesterday I realized that we hadn't really been how we used to be up until we were. I realized we wasn't telling each other everything but we getting back. I know it takes time."

"How does that make you feel to know you aren't how you used to be?" Her therapist wanted her to dig deeper.

"I don't really know. I know it takes time especially because we weren't friends for over a year but I hate the thought of how everything transpired. I wasn't in a good place but I shouldn't have done her the way I did when all she was trying to do was help." Jourie replied.

"Understandable I'm happy your rebuilding your burned bridges. Speaking of, what about kamarion? Last time you were here you said you guys were cool with eachother and always around because of his sister."  Latia inquired.

"Please don't look at me crazy, but we had sex two nights ago." Jourie wanted to drop her head in pure shame. She didn't want to be judged. Especially because latia had seen them and their problems up close when he was there.

"Okay." Latia responded seeming to be unfazed. "So what does this mean? How does it make you feel?" She continued.

"The D was so bomb latia I felt so dumb and ditzy. Afterwards I literally felt so weak and stupid like I took ten steps backwards." She clutched her forehead appearing to be stressed.

"Okay do you still feel that way?" Latia asked and jourie shook her head no. "What changed?" She continued.

"He basically made me talk to him." She responded, "He said he wanna work on us which made me realize I was over thinking. But we taking it slow which in one way I appreciate but the impatient side of me is dying. I know it's important though."

Latia nodded slowly at her words. "So that was how you felt then but what about now? Are you afraid he will still make the same past mistakes—or even you. What will you guys do different?"

There was a long pause and jourie tried to sort her feelings and get them in order.

"I feel like I was in a way trying to push my feelings for him away and revert that into hate because of what he did to me for so long. I feel like that's not valid or fair anymore. When bam found out I got a abortion he was hurt, sad and mad all at once but he didn't drag it. He didn't do as much as I did like use my guilt as an advantage."
