Dr. Frost

"You look hot" Santana complimented me as I showed her my outfit. "I feel naked." She rolled her eyes at me as I tugged at the dress pulling it lower. "You haven't had a night out in ages. Enjoy yourself!" She was right. It's good to finally be going out and enjoying myself. I grabbed my bag and said my goodbyes before leaving.

When I arrived the bachelorette party was already in full swing. "Melissa! Thanks for coming. Girls this is my wedding planner Melissa. The woman works magic!" Jenny beamed and I greeted all her friends. Compared to them, I was dressed like a nun. "Right ladies, as a cliché for bachelorette parties, I got Jenny two big hunky delicious treats." Jenny's friend Nicole winked before opening the doors, letting two tall muscular men through. My jaw dropped as I watched them approach the bride-to-be. Well damn.

"How was the bachelorette party?" I looked up from my nails and smiled remembering the hot male strippers. "Eventful" Thats one way of describing it. "Anything interesting happen?" I bit my lip before clearing my throat. "Just a typical bachelorette party. Drinks, music, male strippers." He rose his brow at me and I looked away feeling ashamed for some reason. "Male strippers?" His voice was low and stern. "Yes. Hot. Male. Strippers." I smirked knowing I was getting to him. "Melissa I'm not a jealous man." Pft. "I never said you were Frost." "I know what you're trying to do." I smiled and crossed my legs. "I'm not trying to do anything." He ran his hand through his dark hair before writing down something. "There's some things we need to tackle. Your ex.." I froze in shock at the sudden change in conversation. "You've told me that it ended on bad terms. However you never explained why." "I'd rather not discuss it." "Melissa the whole point of therapy is to be open. I can only help you if you let me." "Not today. Please can we just move on?" This was making me uncomfortable, I wasn't ready to relive the memories. "Melissa. You can trust me. We have a confidentiality agreement. Whatever you tell me remains between me and you." He smiled and I sighed in defeat. "We ended bad. Really bad. I had enough, I had to leave him. It wasn't safe." My eyes began to blur as they filled with tears. "Why wasn't it safe?" He questioned and I sniffed. "It-He, was abusive. It wasn't healthy for us." "Us?" "I was pregnant. He didn't care. I had to leave to keep my baby safe. I couldn't even do that. He continued to stalk me and send me hate messages. A few weeks later I miscarried due to stress." I hated him. I hated what he done to me. What I lost. "Have you heard from him since?" I shook my head no and saw him place the notepad on the table. "That's enough for today." He stood and walked over to the window pouring himself a drink. "I haven't spoken to anyone about it since." He didn't move. I stood up and walked over to him. "Why can't you look at me?" I placed my hand on his shoulder and felt him stiffen. "You should go." "What?" "I'll see you next session." Not once did he face me. "How can you ask me to be open with you and you can't even look at me?!" A*shole! What kind of therapist does that?! "Melissa please." I huffed and grabbed my bag before leaving the room.

"Surely he's not allowed to do that? He's supposed to advise you not shut you off." Santana complained as I told her about the session with Frost. "Doesn't matter." I shrugged and she crossed her arms. "Oh no no no, he wont get away with this. How can he be so rude?! I'm calling him right now!" She grabbed her phone and started dialling. "Santana no. Just leave it." I really wasn't in the mood. "No. I'm going to tell him about himself." I rolled my eyes and walked off to my room to nap whilst she talked on the phone.

Later when I woke up I found Santana seated on the couch beside Frost. My chest tightened at the sight of him. He literally drains my energy. "I'll leave you two to talk." Santana smiled at me before walking off. "Your sister is a rough person." He chuckled and I ignored him heading to the kitchen. A nice cup of tea is what I needed. "I'm sorry for how I acted at our session. It was unprofessional and rude." I turned to face him. "Tea?" I asked watching his puppy eyes stare into me. "Please. No sugar with milk." I turned on my heels and started making the tea in silence. "Thank you." I sat at the table and he mirrored my actions. "As a therapist, shouldn't you be used to clients telling you about their lives; whether its good or bad?" He nodded and sipped some tea. "Then why did you react that way when I told you about my past? I mean, how do you think it makes me feel to open up to someone thats supposed to be helping me only for them to shut me off and kick me out?!" He sipped some more before answering. "I apologise. It's different with you." "Different how?!" He was making no sense. "What I feel for you already. Melissa, I care for you in deeper ways than you would imagine. Hearing what he done to you wasn't easy. It made my blood boil." He slouched in his chair slightly and I smiled. I hadn't realised he cared that much for me. "Well, I forgive you. I think we should bring our sessions to a halt though. At Least for a while. If I can't open up to you so you can help me then I don't think you can be my therapist." His brows furrowed and I bit my lip. Why was this feeling like a breakup? "You're right." Oh? "I want you to get the professional help you want. I can arrange for Dr. Harping to take over again." I nodded and he stood. "I'll be in contact." I stood also and walked him to the door. "Goodnight." With that, he smiled and walked out of the door.

"Can we get the white drapes in please. Where are the centre pieces?" I sighed feeling stressed. Today was Jenny's wedding and I was making sure everything was perfect for everyone's arrival in an hours time. The weeks had flown by and I hadn't heard from Frost since his goodbye at my house. My phone rang in my hand and I picked up seeing who it was. "Hey Melissa, we all set for later?" It was Zach. "Yeah, you have the addresses right?" It was good he was coming as my plus one. I didn't want to be the odd one out considering I only know the bride. "Sure thing, I'll see you soon."

By the time everything came together I was exhausted. Guests started coming in and filling the reception room, and not long after the bride and groom arrived. "Melissa, this is amazing. Thank you thank you thank you!" Jenny hugged me tightly and I laughed. "It's my job. You look stunning." Her dress was pure white with a lace back to it and lace arms. "Thank you, where's your date?" She winked and I smiled. "He's on his way now." She clapped with joy. "Come let me introduce you to my husband." She grabbed my arm and lead me through the crowd of people that stopped her with their congratulations. "Babe." She tapped him on his shoulder and he turned around to face us. My jaw dropped and I almost stumbled back in shock. "This is my now-husband Jack. Jack this is my wedding planner Melissa." He put his arm out and I slowly did the same before engaging in a handshake. "You look like someone I know." I stated as he smiled before letting go of my hand. He was a spitting image of Frost. Just a younger version. It was uncanny. "Oh really?" He grinned. "Jenny has told me so much about you. Everything has come together perfectly." I smiled and thanked him before he excused himself. "Are you alright?" Jenny asked and I nodded. Just then Zach approached us. "Melissa, hey." I smiled and hugged him. "This is Zach. Zach this is the bride Jenny." "Nice to meet you." He smiled and shook her hand. "Jen, hun." Jack said and we turned around to find him standing there with Frost by his side. I froze as our eyes met. "Remember my brother?" Jack smiled and Jenny squealed before embracing Frost in a hug. The whole time his eyes never left mine. This was going to be some wedding.

Welp, now you know about her past. Sorry this took like two weeks, I moved and started my final year of university so I've been busy. Its going to be this way till June I'm afraid :( I'll try my best to be posting regularly though. Thanks for the support! Comment & vote! x
