•Ella's pov•"So, Harry, would you mind starting off by telling me what happened. Why are you here?" The middle aged counselor pushed her glasses up her nose and clicked her pen.
She formally introduced herself to us earlier as Rhonda. She's the lady I've been coming to see for a while now.
I looked to Harry and gave him a small smile. I reached for his hand and laced our fingers together. He immediately loosened up, and his breathing slowed.
"Take your time." she said, her tone soft
"Uhm" he breathed shakily "I want to get back with Ella but I know I need help to be normal again before she will want me."
My heart broke into a million pieces.
"Well Ella has told me at our previous meetings that she is the one that left you." Rhonda scribbled something down
"She did, but now she's better and I'm not, so really I'm the one in the wrong here."
"I-" I tried to interrupt
"No let him speak." she put her hand up to stop me
"You have the list of medication I'm on for my problems don't you." he asked and she nodded "Well I take all of those because I was diagnosed with some sort of sporadic bi-polarity. It followed depression. When ella left I felt like it was all my fault that she was gone, I felt like I didn't try hard enough to keep her around."
"Since you mentioned depression I have to ask, have you ever experienced self harm of any kind." Rhonda looked concerned and a knot tied in my stomach. I hadn't even thought to address that myself
"Actually yes, in the past, but not with this current experience. Instead of hating myself I soon decided it was all her fault. I was tired of being sad so I got angry. My anger soon turned to aggression." He wiped a tear that threatened to fall
I rubbed the back of his hand, I don't know if this is helping him at all but I know it's keeping me from bursting int tears.
"Miss Carter told me at one of our past meetings that you told her you knew about all of the people she had engaged in sexual activity with. She said she felt threatened; she felt you stalked her." The counselor looked down at her notes.
"I did tell her that, I didn't stalk her though. I only said it to her because she made me angry." He admitted
"Hold on, then how did you know about all of that." I butted in
"Zayn, I had talked to Zayn and he told me Lana said you'd been whoring around."
"Oh" my voice came out small
"Does it feel better now that the two of you have had some insight into each others story." she asked
"Yeah" we nodded
"Ok well Harry I want you o get off of every medication they put you on because, quite frankly, you don't need them."
"You think so?" He smiled a little and tried to cover it with a cough.
"Yes I do, and as for you Ella, encourage him, talk with him, and remember all of the stuff we talked about earlier." she raised an eyebrow
"Yes ma'am." I smiled, honestly I'm just so happy for Harry nothing could bring down my mood.
We thanked our counselor as we walked out of the small building.
"Oh and if it means anything to you," Rhonda called before I closed the door. "I think you two will make it."
"Thanks." I blushed, tucking hair behind my ear.
I looked to harry who was blushing now too and I rubbed his arm.
"We're going to make it Harold. You're going to make it."
