Best Mistake ︱Pedri González

34

Luciana's POV

I sat down in the chair, feeling the familiar mix of anxiety and exhaustion. Today was my second therapy session with Dr. Sanchez, and I was hoping it would bring some clarity. The turmoil inside me had been overwhelming, and I needed a direction—any direction—to find some semblance of peace.

Dr. Sanchez greeted me with a warm smile and a reassuring nod. "Luciana, it's good to see you again. How have you been?"

I sighed, my shoulders slumping as I sank into the chair. "It's been rough. I feel like I'm in a constant state of chaos, and I don't know how to handle it all."

Dr. Sanchez listened attentively, her expression empathetic. "I understand. You've been through a lot, and it's natural to feel overwhelmed. Let's start by discussing what you think could help you find some calm and clarity. We talked about your relationships with both Dante and Pedri before. Have you had any thoughts on how you might approach making amends with Dante?"

I bit my lip, feeling the weight of my actions pressing down on me. "I know I need to make things right with Dante. I've hurt him, and I feel terrible about it. But I'm not sure how to approach him without making things worse."

Dr. Sanchez nodded thoughtfully. "It's important to acknowledge your mistakes and seek to make amends, even if it doesn't mean getting back together. The goal is to find closure for both you and Dante. You don't have to have all the answers right now; just starting the conversation can be a step in the right direction."

I nodded, taking in her words. "I'm scared he'll just push me away or that I'll make things more painful. I don't want to reopen old wounds."

Dr. Sanchez's voice was gentle but firm. "It's natural to have those fears, but sometimes facing them is necessary for healing. When approaching Dante, be honest about your feelings and the mistakes you've made. You can acknowledge the pain you've caused and express genuine regret. It's about showing him that you're aware of your actions and that you're willing to take responsibility."

I took a deep breath, trying to steady my nerves. "I'll try to reach out to him. I guess I just need to figure out what to say."

Dr. Sanchez smiled encouragingly. "Start with a heartfelt apology. It doesn't have to be perfect or cover everything. Just let him know that you understand the impact of your actions and that you're sorry for the hurt you've caused. It's also okay if the conversation doesn't resolve everything immediately. Sometimes, just making the effort can be a significant step forward."

I felt a bit lighter, but I still had lingering doubts. "What if he doesn't want to talk to me at all?"

"That's a possibility," Dr. Sanchez acknowledged. "And if that happens, it's important to respect his decision. Making amends doesn't always lead to reconciliation, but it can help you find peace and start healing. It's more about taking responsibility and finding closure for yourself."

I nodded, absorbing her advice. "Okay, I'll try to reach out and see if we can talk."

Dr. Sanchez shifted her focus slightly. "Now, regarding Pedri, you've mentioned that things are still complicated between you two. How are you feeling about that situation now?"

I frowned, feeling the familiar mix of frustration and confusion. "I ended things with him, but it's hard to just move on. I still have a lot of feelings, and it feels like I'm caught between two worlds."

Dr. Sanchez nodded, understanding my struggle. "It's normal to feel conflicted. Taking time to process your emotions and focusing on your own well-being is important. Right now, working on making amends with Dante and finding some peace for yourself can help you gain clarity about what you want moving forward. Once you feel more stable, you can decide how to handle things with Pedri."
