A/N-Rachael's daydreaming about her and Robert's wedding. I love the song, Beautiful in White--it's such a perfect wedding song.
Not sure if you know this
But when we first met
I got so nervous I couldn't speak
In that very moment
I found the one and
My life had found its missing piece
So as long as I live I'll love you
Will have and hold you
You look so beautiful in white
And from now to my very last breath
This day I'll cherish
You look so beautiful in white
Tonight
So beautiful in white
Tonight
And if our daughter's what our future holds
I hope she has your eyes
Finds love like you and I did
But when she falls in love we'll let her go
I'll walk her down the aisle
She'll look so beautiful in white
I looked up, daydreaming about Robert and I marrying. God leads us into relationships, I thought. Everything happens for a reason.
Just as I was about to text Robert, I called to Dad. "Hey, Dad, is everything okay?"
"Yes, for now," Dad answered. "I still think you need to see a therapist, though."
"I was thinking the same thing. I'll call my old one."
I pulled out my phone and dialed the number.
"Hello, I'm an old client of yours and I need help because I'm going through things. May I please come in as soon as possible?"
"Yes, what's your name?" A female voice answered the phone. I think this is my old therapist. I thought.
"Rachel Daniels."
"Okay, Ms. Daniels, I've an appointment for 3 PM on Wednesday."
"I'll take that one. Thank you very much."
"You're welcome. Goodbye."
"Goodbye."
That's a relief, I thought. I'm so anxious about speaking into the phone. I hate answering machines most of all. Your voice's so static-y and barely understandable.
"Done," I told Dad. "Can Robert come over Saturday?"
"Sure, and good job, sweetie, I know you have anxiety and you must take it one day at a time. Just remember that."
"I will, Dad, thanks."
I got up and texted Robert the good news.
Rachael: U can come over on Saturday. So happy, babe!
Robert: Yay, I'm happy to c u again, sweetie.
Robert: How r u doing?
Rachael: Better, but need to go to therapy again. :( The appt.'s at 3 on Wed.
Rachael: & I have a song I want 2 show u, 2.
Robert: Aw, baby, it's not 2 bad. U need help & ur getting it. That's the important thing.
Robert: What's the song?
Rachael: Beautiful in White. It's such a sweet song. U should listen to it.
Robert: I will later. G2g 2 work. C u at school, honey.
Rachael: Goodbye, good luck at work, baby.
I shut my phone off and went to work on homework (massive catch-up work due to many school days missed).
