Khali

Waking up to toes in her face, Khali quickly hopped up only to realize it was her nephew Mylez. Trevhan and Seven were sitting at the foot of her bed watching and reciting the episode of Little Einsteins.

'I hate those little shits' Khali thought while stretching and yawning. Reaching over to get her phone from the charger she realized it was only 6:00 in the morning. Usually Khali's Saturdays wouldn't start until around 2 pm but she went to sleep pretty early yesterday.

After the nap that took place in Khali's bed yesterday everyone met with King at Phil's BBQ in Midway District where he bought everyone dinner.

Getting out of bed to see Morgan on the pull out couch, Khali laughed to herself knowing that her nephews had to have taken over her bed for Morgan to willingly sleep on the uncomfortable ass pull out couch.

After about an hour of making sure everyone was up, fed and taken care of Khali, Morgan, Khai, and Seven were headed to Khali's therapy session for 8:30.

Walking into the building, Seven grabbed onto Khali out of instinct because of his social anxiety. Once they were checked in everyone walked down the long hallway that lead to Khali's therapist's office.

Khai was very hesitant to open the door only because he was very skeptical about what happens in these sessions. All of this was fairly new to him and he was very uncomfortable with letting anyone that was not family into his life. Often times he wanted to talk to people about his problems that his family wouldn't understand but thought that would be weak of him so he held everything in.

"Good Morning Everyone, I am Mrs. Riley Khalia's therapist." the young white woman with a pretty smile stated while shaking hands with Khai, Morgan and Seven.

"This is Alekahi, Morgan, and my nephew Seven." Khali gestured to everyone, introducing them to her therapist of 4 months.

"Dont be giving out my government name to just anybody. I could be running from the feds." Khai smacked his teeth while complaining.

"So this is the infamous Khai?" Mrs. Riley questioned amused by Khai's statement. "You all can have a seat anywhere you would like. But let's get started here because we have a lot to discuss." she continued.

"So last time we met, I asked Khalia to bring in three people of her choice. I figured one was going to be you Khai because she talks about you all the time. Ms. Mogan, you are the new friend that has wandered into Khalia's life right" Mrs. Riley asked causing Morgan to nod and fake a smile.

Morgan was a bit skeptical too about coming to this session but Khali promised that they would go to IHOP afterwards, so she was down to ride.

"Khalia, do you care to explain why you've chosen these three beautiful people to join us today?"

"Well as you said, I brought Khai because I feel like he needs this as bad as I do. We've been through everything together and I don't want him to harbor his anger and feel like I do. I brought Morgan as a product of the second meeting we had when you told me to let people in and she just happens to be that one person you told me to try with. Seven is my nephew, one of the triplets that I told you about. I brought him here because me and him share a lot of things in common. Like when I was little I had social anxiety like he has now." Khali explained playing with Seven's hands as he sat in her lap.

"Well congrats on making progress in letting people in. I'm sure Morgan is grateful that you gave her a chance instead of pushing her away." Mrs. Riley smiled jotting some notes down.

"I am grateful and I hope that the friendships lasts a very long time. I view Khali as a sister more so than a friend" Morgan expressed picking at her nails. Something about being here just made her nervous and want to fidget. Morgan herself has not had the easiest life and just being in an office like this brings back bad memories.
