Broken And Alone (Up for adoption)

Part 26

Mitch

Three months after Mitch's release from the hospital

Today is my first day of therapy and it would be a lie if I said I wasn't terrified. All week Scott has been asking if I wanted him to come with me but I don't think either of us are ready for him to know the things Travis did to me.
I opened the door to the small building.
The waiting room was clean and organized and I saw a small guy sitting by an open window that said 'check in' above it.
I took a deep breath and walked over to him.
He smiled warmly at me.
"Hello. Can I help you?" He asked.
"I have an appointment to see Dr.Summerlot at 4:00." I said nervously.
"Mitch Grassi?" He asked and I nodded.
He handed me a clip board with a few papers and a pen.
"Alright. Since it is your first time here this is our patient confidentially sheet. It is legally saying we cannot tell anyone anything you tell us here with out your consent. So you can read through that and sign here and here." He said pointing to two small lines with 'x' by them.
"And this is our visitly evaluation sheet." He said flipping up the three pages of the patient sheet. It was a sheet full of bubbles.
"So all we need is for you to answer each question with 1-5, 1 being 'very often' and 5 being 'never'. And you will give that to Summerlot when she calls you back." He said with a smile as he handed me a pen.
I thanked him and walked over to take my seat.
He was very kind... This might not be to bad.
I looked at the sheet and read through it, signing in the correct places. The bubble sheet was more complicated but I answered all the questions right before I heard a voice interrupt the silence.
"Mitch Grassi?" A female said. I stood up and walked over to her. She was rather attractive. With long brown hair and green eyes.
"Hi! It's nice to meet you. My name is Julia." She said shaking my hand and leading me down a long corridor before holding the door open for me. I walked into a cute little office.
There were books lined on a shelf, some beautiful paintings, a gray couch with yellow pillows and a glass table with a computer. And a Beyoncé book. I smiled. I like her already.
She took a seat in a comfy office chair.
"So Mitch? I am Julia Summerlot. Why don't you tell me a little about yourself." She said.
"Well, I am 22. I live with my boyfriend Scott and our cat Wyatt Blue. I am in an a capella group with my four best friends. I love Beyonce and Food... Yeah, I don't know..." I said.
"I knew your name sounded familiar. Well It is a pleasure to meet you Mitch. I didn't know we had so much in common!" She said laughing.
"Would you mind.... telling me a bit about you?" I asked. She smiled.
"Of course! Well, I am 36. I live a few miles away from here with my Wife and my beautiful son and daughter. I am also a beyonce fan, as I think you noticed-" she said laughing as she glanced at her book. "I have 2 husky puppys and I grew up here in LA." She said. I was smiling. I already feel so comfortable with her.
"I have some pictures if you would like to see..." She said. I nodded eagerly.
She showed me a picture of her and her wife Becca on their wedding day, as well as one of their kids.
Her and her Wife are so perfect!
"You two are so perfect" I said.
She smiled. "Thank you! I couldn't ask for anyone better. So Mitch, Would you mind telling me why you are here today?"
I shut my eyes.
"I was in an extremely abusive relationship that resulted in me being kidnapped." I said quietly.
She was looking at me with caring eyes.
"I am so sorry Mitch."

The rest of the session we talked about Travis, what he made me feel, what he did to me. Then we talked about Scott. I told her how amazing and caring he was. How he is always there for me and will never hurt me. She was so helpful and sympathetic. I am so happy that she is my therapist.

"Scooter! I'm home!" I called.
I was pulled into a hug by my big blond teddy bear.
"How was It Mitch...?" He asked cautiously.
"It went quite well actually." I said.
He gave me a gentle squeeze and said "that's wonderful."
"She is so sweet Scott! Her and her wife have two kids and she loves Beyoncé!" I said.
He laughed and gave me a hug.
"I am tired Scotland. Is it okay if I lay down?"
"Of course. Do you want to cuddle on would you rather be alone?" He asked me.
"I'd like to snuggle please..." I said.
He carried me to bed, kissing my nose and lips.
He set me down gently and I slipped off my shirt, him doing the same before lying down so I could crawl into his arms.
I am so happy to be here, in the arms of the man I love (who loves me as well <3 ).
So why do I feel so...
Alone...
