the wheels of life

chapter 17

Ruby:and it's just....I get it ok? I get that she made a mistake, I get that she saw the error of her ways, and she made a life for herself, a good life as the hero of remnant. And I'm happy for her, don't get me wrong, I've long since stopped being angry about that night. But... Argh, I don't know, I feel....jealous. she got to live such a life filled with adventure, while I'm...stuck in my shop, fixing and making weapons

*We see ruby on the couch, she was doing something vacuo ruby wouldn't even dream of doing. Going to therapy voluntarily, and actually liking it. Glynda nodded and kept writting on her notepad*

Glynda:that's perfectly fine. You are entitled to feel this way, your even entitled to tell Blake exactly how you feel

Ruby:I know I should. I know it's the responsible thing to do...but she'll feel so bad after I tell her.

*Ruby said, Glynda chuckled a little, ruby was really showing that she had the heart of a golden retriever. Ruby's mind was wired to make people happy, she graved making others happy, like any other golden retriever*

Glynda: yes, she probably will. But it's the right thing to do for you. You need to set some boundaries for this girl, or else, she'll feel like you've forgiven her just like that. And we both know you haven't

Ruby:I know I do. But....it's just hard. Don't get me wrong, when I see her I get annoyed, not angry mind you, just annoyed....but when I see her smile? When I see that hope In her eyes, when I see the Blake that I used to Know? The one who was my first love? I....I just want to forgive everything, and hug her. Even when I know that's not how the healing process works

*Ruby said with a sigh, passing her fingers through her hair, and just looking at the ceiling, Glynda watched the clock, they were just about out of time. But she ignored it for now*

Glynda:your right. It's not. to fix the relationship with Blake, you must speak with her about this, and set some boundaries. For your mental health, I would recommend that she be only allowed to visit you once a week, on Friday perhaps. If in another day of the week, you want her there, than you call her. But make sure it's on your term, not hers.

Ruby:ok. I will. I'll call her and tell her to come over. Thank you Glynda, as always, you helped me clear my mind so much

*Ruby said with a smile, that hit Glynda's heart like an arrow, over how cute it was*

Glynda"she's a faunus not a dog, she's a faunus not a dog, she's a faunus not a dog. It's illegal to take her home, and keep her as my pet"

Glynda:my pleasure, but we are out of time for today. I will see you in our next session....well that's not completely true, I will see you in a few days, when your dad comes to visit you

*Glynda said, ruby rolled her eyes, and gave Glynda a teasing grin. Which made Glynda blush if only a little*

Ruby: are you two finally gonna date?

Glynda: young lady, that is not an appropriate question to ask, to your therapist. You know me and James are just good friends

*Glynda said, as ruby placed herself on her wheelchair, Glynda didn't even attempt to help, knowing that 1 ruby could do it herself, and 2, ruby doesn't like it, when you help her, without her telling you, to help her.*

Ruby:right....so when I caught you in his bed on new years eve? Naked I might add, you two were just good friends then?

Glynda:....like I said, we are out of time. I will see you on your next session

*Glynda said with a blush on her face, ruby giggled softly and wheeled away*

Scene change

*We see the team IWBY in their apartment, ilia and Blake in their living room. Ilia was scrolling on her phone, Blake was reading a book, on how to make dogs happy. Weiss was in front of them, doing a home exercise video, and yang was looking at there fridge, looking for anything to eat, she didn't care if it was 5 days old. She just didn't want to cook. Ilia stopped at her scrolling, when her ringtone interrupted it*
