ZAC POV

I woke up and texted my cousin I will be on her clinic in an hour. I was upset since I didn't dream of her last night. After getting myself ready I head to the Courtney's clinic.

"Hey Cuz, sorry I'm late." She appeared in front of me.

"Hi! Its okay I just came in." I helped her with her things.

"How do you feel now?" She opened her door.

"I'm a little stress out over this session." I walked inside.

"We've been doing this almost half year now and the procedure is the same so stop being a wimp and lay down." She guided me on the couch.

"Let's get this over with." I closed my eyes.

I took a deep breath and followed what she instructed. She played the same music that sooth me everytime we do it. In matter of minutes I am already calm while focusing my ears on her.

(SESSION STARTS)

"Now I will ask you things and tell me what you will see." She started.

Courtney:    Birthday.

Me:                 I can see children. Laughing, cheering and playing.

Courtney:    What else do you see?

Me:                 A lot of balloons and party hats.

Courtney:   Do you see anyone you know?

Me:                 I can see a little boy... then a man bringing a cake...

Courtney:   Do you know him?

Me:                 No, but he seems familiar to me. He is coming to the boy   and greeted him happy birthday... the little boy blow the candles

Courtney:     Do you know whose birthday it is?

Me:                 Hmm... it's my... 8th birthday!! I remember this! The man    is... Dad.

Courtney:     Tell me what do remember on this day.

Me:                 I remember I celebrated my birthday at my Grandparents  house. It's the day I got my baseball bat from Pops. I can't see anything more. Wait! There's another scene

Courtney:     What do you see?

Me:                 I'm holding a small box... wrapped in birthday paper.

Courtney:    Can you tell me what's inside?

Me:                 It's... jewellery, a diamond heart-shaped. Wait! There's a  girl! She's thanking me for the gift...

Courtney:    Can you describe her?

Me:                 Not really but I can tell what she was wearing. A black     and white dress... she's holding something... a box    wrapped in blue stripes paper with blue ribbon.

Courtney:    Can you tell me what is it?

Me:                 Hmm... it's... a black... tie.

Courtney:    Is she the same woman in your dreams?

Me:                 I... don't know... I can't see her face... it's so blurry... No...                 no... she's fading... I'm losing her...

Courtney:    Zac!! Open your eyes and focus on my voice!

(END OF SESSION)

"Hey, relax. Drink this up." Courtney hands me a glass of water.

"I was so close in seeing her, why did you wake me?" I snapped at her.

"Your blood pressure is getting higher so I had to do it." She removed the sphygmomanometer.

"I'm sorry. So what do you think?" I apologized.

"It's okay and you did great! Last time you can't tell me about certain events. Now you can totally describe it and remember your past. I'm giving you the copy of our session like what we always do." She patted my shoulder.

Before we started our therapy I was specific that I want recorded sessions. Courtney agreed since that way I can watch it everytime I want to. 

"Ok. Thanks. I felt better." I get up from the couch.

"No worries. Talk to me after you've seen the video." She hands me a flash drive after some minutes.

"I will. See you on Friday." I fixed my hair.

"Yeah." She stands up and leads me to the door.

I waved her goodbye and went to the parking lot.
