marriage counseling

Emily's P.o.v

Fredo held the room door open for me as i walked into the room with two couches and a table between them. he shut the door behind him as i went over to the couch and took a seat , Fredo took a seat next to me shortly. i gave a warm smile to Mrs.Rose the therapist lady.

Mrs.Rose: goodmorning Emily and Fredo.

we both told her goodmorning as she sat down on the couch facing us. she pulled out a notebook and pen fixing her glasses.

Mrs.Rose: okay how have you all been ?

Emily: we've been.. well. *nods*

Fredo: she's been well.. i've been going through it.

Mrs.Rose: well tell me how you've been going through it.

Fredo: she just have weird mood swings like we chilling one day i feel good about my life and shit then a hour later she putting me out the house for unknown reasons.

Mrs.Rose: Fredo she is pregnant and pregnant women have hormones that they cant control.

Fredo: i try so hard to understand that but she just keep confusing me. do she want me here or not ? i ask myself that ten times a day.

Mrs.Rose: *nods* okay well Emily what goes through your head for you to want Fredo to leave ?

Emily: *sighs & shrugs* i just want to be alone sometimes .. like im just not used to being with him every single day like i usually can just go home if i need space or want to be alone but im sharing a house with him now. *shrugs* i just need to be alone sometime.

Mrs.Rose: why do you need time alone ? why cant you talk it out ? because of your past?

Emily: well yeah.. i cant do anything without having anxiety. like its not just something i can forget with a hot shower or a nap. my past hunts me every single night so when i tell fredo to leave i feel stupid half the time because then he's not there when i go to bed and i feel helpless all over again.

Mrs.Rose: *nods* can i ask you something so personal right now ?

Emily: *shrugs* i guess.

Mrs.Rose: after.. everything , have you thought about self harm or suicide ?

Fredo: *looks at emily*

Emily: well yeah. before i ran away i really did try to harm myself that night but i didnt have the guts to. then uh when i came back and started living with my dad i finally did it.

Mrs.Rose: where did you cut ?

Emily: i knew if they saw my cuts i'd be in hell of trouble so i cut parts that nobody could really see.. like my ankles , my back , the back of my thighs.

Fredo: *staring at her* did you really ?

Emily: *looks at him and nods*

Fredo: *looks down*

Mrs.Rose: what about suicidal thoughts ?

Emily: suicidal thoughts were like an everyday thing for me that i just got used to planning my death..

Fredo: *puts his elbows on his knees and his face in his hands*

Mrs.Rose: are you okay Fredo?

Fredo: *nods*

Mrs.Rose: here is some tissues. *grabs box and puts it on table* did you not know about this past of hers ?

Fredo: *shakes his head* nah man.

Emily: *wipes her tears and rubs his back*

Mrs.Rose: its okay to cry Fredo this is a very emotional topic. emily why havent you talked to Fredo about this before ?
