Chapter 43: It's So Nice To Meet You

Mia's POV

"Where is my darling niece?" Claire asked as she walked into my apartment.

"First of all, she's not your niece," I smirked.

"You're my best friend, so that makes her my niece. Now where is she?"

"It's Andy's week."

"Oh my god, you're actually doing the split custody thing?" Claire asked, flopping onto the couch next to me.

"Yeah, he needs to see her too."

"You know, you wouldn't need to share custody if you just lived with him."

"I told you I don't want to live with him right now."

"God, you're so difficult," she groaned.

"Yeah, yeah," I said, waving her off. "I didn't realize how much I would miss her though. It's only been a day and I've had to stop myself from driving over to his house five times."

"Why stop yourself?"

"You know that the two of us being in a room together is a bad idea."

"So I'm assuming the date didn't go well?"

"That's the problem, it went incredibly well!"

"I hope you realize how hard it is to be your friend because your problems are constantly confusing. What happened on your date?"

"He took me to a rage room. He figured I had a lot of repressed feelings about Tanner. Turns out, I did and I broke down in front of him after destroying a microwave. We went to dinner afterwards and I told him about my whole break up. I agreed to another date this weekend. His idea for this date was so thoughtful and really started to make me think about giving him a chance."

"Then give him a fucking chance! He is worshiping the ground you walk on! He is perfect for you!"

"I want to! I'm just scared, I don't know. After screaming and crying in that rage room, I felt so much better. I felt free. I didn't know how heavy those feelings were and how much they had been affecting me for the last few years."

"Girl, I could have told you that," Claire laughed.

"I've been considering finding a therapist."

"Please do. I don't want to see you lose him because you're indecisive and scared of your past. He is good for you, he cares for you, he's the father of your daughter. If you're not together after this next date, you need to set him free and stop stringing him along. It's borderline cruel at this point."

"You're right," I groaned, leaning back on the couch. "I'm so scared of him hurting me, but what if I hurt him. What if I'm not good enough and I can't commit the way he needs me to?"

"Talk to him, Mia. He seems like he's got a good head on his shoulders and that he can handle an adult conversation. Share your worries and limitations with him. I'm sure he'll understand."

"Thanks, Claire. You're right."

"I always am," she said smugly. "Now let's watch some TV to get your mind off of everything," she said, reaching for the remote and turning the TV on. While we watched a movie, I looked up different therapists and vowed to call them tomorrow. 

I needed to move on from my past. Not for myself, not for Andy, but for Kendyll. If there's a chance that Andy and I can make this work, she deserves to live in a house with her parents that love each other.
