Wake Up, You're Different

Chapter 14

When we were in the car I had a full breakdown. I was crying and screaming. Syd just let me. I was a mess. When we got home I went upstairs and fell asleep.
"Paisley wake up."
"Why?"
"Therapy. Come on your going to be late."
"Do I have to?"
"Yes you do. I'm going to stay with you."
"I don't want to push my problems on you, I have too much and it's getting to you."
"No it's not."
"Yes it is, I know you better than anyone."
"Whatever you say, you just need to go."
"Syd I want what's best for you."
"I'm fine."
"No you aren't you keep saying you are but you aren't. But can you stay with me? I don't like this at all but I know I have to do it."
"Yes I will stay with you. I will be with you every step of the way. Come on we gotta go."
She kissed my cheek and pulled me out of bed. I slid my arms around her waist and she put hers around my neck. She looked into my eyes and started to cry.
"Syd what's wrong?"
"I just can't believe that over 3 years ago I thought you were going to die and now I'm here with you, engaged with you and I couldn't be happier."
"Aww you are the best."
Her soft lips landed on mine and we began kissing. It was soft and sweet. Then I pulled away and started to get ready. We got into the car and Syd pulled out of the driveway. She had one hand on the steering wheel and the other hand was in mine. I was getting nervous and she knew that. She tried to sing again.
"Syd I'm going to teach you to sing."
"No I think I'm MUCH better than you."
"No you aren't. I love you but you suck."
"Well thanks."
"Drop your jaw and open your mouth more, you need rounder vowels."
"I'm going to suck anyway."
"Fine but I'm going to teach you to sing, that's my new life goal." "Whatever makes you happy."
"YAAAY!"
"Oh god what have I gotten myself into."
"You loooove me."
"Yes I do."

When we got there, I checked in and waited for my therapist to call me. I was playing with my ring again. Syd grabbed my hand. When I finally heard my name we got up and walked into a small room. I instantly felt scared and squeezed Syd's hand really tightly. She whispered
"Babe it'll be okay."
"Alright I'm Kathrine and I'll be your therapist. I heard about your incident a few days ago. How do you feel now?"
"I feel worse actually. I'm being harassed all the time, verbally and today sexual. This happens at school and in public. My fiancé here takes a lot of it too."
Syd was holding my hand and rubbing the side of my thumb because she knew it calmed me down.
"Sorry to hear that. Is it multiple people or just one person?"
"It's mainly just my ex boyfriend Kyle."
"What kind of things has he done?"
"Today he grabbed me and kissed me. He was sending death threats to her. He tried to beat both of us up. He makes comments in the hallway."
"Did you get the police or school involved?"
"We tried, neither of them care."
"We will talk to them and see what we can do. Other than that are you feeling better? Are you in a safer mental state?"
"A little bit I guess. Syd is just so helpful and she knows what to do when I'm upset."
"Awww how long have you too been together?"
"A few months but we got engaged this weekend."
"Young love. How precious."
"She stayed by my side while I was in a coma for 3 years. I could hear everything and she told me to wake up and that she loved me. When I woke up I told her about it. Now we are here."
"Do you think your accident caused your depression?"
"Not really, I felt this way before it."
"Okay. I haven't heard much about your family. Are they still in your life?"
"Not really. They don't love me anymore. We live in their house but they are never home and when they are they don't talk to us. We are planning on getting our own place."
"That may be a good idea. It will also help you escape some of the bad memories from there as well."
I looked at Syd.
"Babe what do you think?"
"P, I think it's a good idea but I'll have to get a job to support this. I don't want you to get a job just yet. You need to focus on your school work a little bit. You're going to graduate."
"Syd I want to help too."
"Paisley it's okay, I can do it."
"You girls are perfect for each other."
"Thank you. She's the other half of me and has helped me get better. Obviously she couldn't do it alone and that's why I'm here now."
"Well that's our time for today. Same time next week?"
"Yes. Thank you."
"See you girls next week."
When we got into the car she grabbed me hand.
"Did I make the right choice?"
"Syd what are you talking about?"
"I should have let you come earlier but I told you we could do it together but I think you should have done this earlier."
"Syd it's okay. I'm okay. I promise."
I squeezed her hand and we pulled into the driveway.
