Aubrey: I just think its impersonal, that's all.

Alexandra: How? I have to do this! I have to go!

Aubrey: Why can't you talk to me? What's so bad with keeping everything at home?

Alexandra: Because, something bad happened to me. Something that could've killed me. I have to deal with that SOMEWHERE in order for us to work.

Aubrey: We work just fine when you talk.

Alexandra: This isn't talking. This is exactly what always happens. I do something and you don't understand why I'm doing it.

Aubrey: So give me a good reason why you should be in therapy.

Alexandra: Because, trauma can leave you trapped in your head or trapped in a box. I want neither. I want a marriage. I want a life. And I need someone who's impartial that's gonna help me.

Aubrey: I'm gonna help you.

Alexandra (Lowering her tone): You don't have all the answers.

Aubrey did feel like he was being slighted by Alexandra. The compassion in him wanted to be the only person that could help with Alexandra but his selfishness was starting to make everything worse for her. It was making it worse on the both of them. He had a lot going for him and she had a lot going for her. He had to let her try to work out anything and everything they could before they could idealize walking down an aisle. They had to let go of all of their issues and make an effort to go past any adversity.

[In Aubrey's Mind]

Aubrey and Alexandra were hand in hand in front of a rabbi. They stood tall in front of the closest people in their lives. Free of press, free of exes, free of any problems they'd had before. The air around them smelled of fresh water, a smell Alexandra loved and Aubrey's suit smelled of lavender, something that Alexandra always joked about.

Aubrey: I promise, in front of all of the closest people in our lives, to love you, honor you, appreciate you and cherish you for the rest of my life. You mind, soul and body is the most beautiful thing ever imaginable. You make the most chaotic situation stand still. You make life seem simple. Everything about you makes me happy. Your grace, your attitude, your intelligence and your strength. You make the unimaginable seem possible. I want you by my side because you make the better part of me, greater. By taking this ring today, help me start the biggest chapter of my life.

[Now]

Aubrey never had a vision of them getting married. He would think about past dates or fun moments but he never imagined them getting married. It relaxed him a little bit. And with more of his album done, he was becoming a lot more happier. Even with this being one of the happiest times of his life. Aubrey didn't let the miscellaneous ruin this time period. Their time period. The perks of being in love were much greater than that.

The two were standing in a cleared recording studio as the instrumental of "Girls Love Beyoncé" played in the background. Aubrey took a deep breath.

Aubrey: I'm sorry. I feel like I need to step back and let you deal with everything the best way you know how. The only way you can.

Alexandra looked away then back at Aubrey. She was annoyed at the fact that there was something that always had to be apologized for. She hasn't even came out right in forgiving Aubrey for the abortion accusation.

Alexandra: Just have faith in me. Damn, I thought we were making some progress. I don't want your apologies I want your faith in me.

Alexandra stepped out and everyone else walked back in to resume their session. Alexandra sat outside on her phone when a random girl sat beside her.
