Therapy

I really need to stop being so forgetful sorry about not posting yesterday I completely forgot to! I'll post 2 chapters today, then I'll go back to my regular schedule for posting. (Every Friday, every other Monday)

"I don't know, maybe?"

The therapist eyed me and continued to scribble nonsense down on her tiny notepad.

I kept Korra's hand in mine. "Korra I think it would be best if we put you on some medication."

Korra's eyes widened slightly. "W-what for?"

Dr. Briefing got up and began to dial a number into her phone. "From what I can see, you seem to have depression, and anxiety, a very scary combo. I'm giving someone I know a call, she'll know what to give you."

She pressed enter on the keypad and held her phone to her ear. It rang twice before someone answered.

"Hama! Hi, I have a patient here who has depression and anxiety......yes......that would be perfect......thank you Hama......alright, bye."

She hung up and turned to us again. "I'll write down the address. Drive there and pick up the meds for Korra. Hama will be there to give them to you."

I nodded and looked at Korra, who was already looking at me.

"Am I ok?"

I smiled and placed a gentle hand on her cheek. "You will be. I promise."

I gave her a kiss on the forehead. "Thank you Dr. Beifong."

I pulled Korra up with me and guided her to the door after Dr. Beifong gave me the address.

"Ok, you have to take 2 of the depression pills when you first wake up and then around mid day. As for the anxiety pills, take them whenever you feel nervous or anxious." Korra nodded absentmindedly as she continued to watch her cartoon.

I was worried for her, I felt as if she had started pushing me away.

I knelt down next to Korra. She slowly turned away from the tv so she was now facing me. "...what?"

I sighed to myself. "Korra, I want you to know that I'm here for you, 24/7. I want you to know that you mean so much to me. Please, Korra, don't shut down. I want you to talk to me if you feel scared or sad or anything. Just talk to me, ok?"

She stared blankly at me for a minute, slightly leaning in.

She then suddenly turned away from me.
"I'm sorry for all the trouble in putting you through. I shouldn't have sat with you that day at school, you wouldn't have met me and you'd be free of all this."

I reached for her face but she shook my hand away. "I'm just a burden, Asami. You shouldn't have to do all of this for me. I should be able to take care of myself."

"But that's the thing, Korra. I don't have to, but I want to. And I'm gonna. I already told you, I'll wait for you, as long as it takes. Because I think you're amazing, not a burden."

She turned to face me. "You're just saying that."

"Why don't you ever believe me when I tell you these things? They're all true!"

"No they aren't! I'm not amazing, I'm weak and stupid and annoying and useless-"

"Stop!"

I stood up. Korra went silent. "I don't ever want to hear you talking badly about yourself. I don't care if you don't believe any of it, it's true. You are the bravest person I've met. The smartest. The funniest. The most beautiful."
