"So tell me about yourself." Brenda instructed as she leaned back in her chair.
"What does the file say?"
She looked down at her folder, "It says that you're Ava, a married 21 year old with 2 kids."
"Then I'm Ava, a married 21 year old with 2 kids."
I'd rather be anywhere but here.
The moment I stepped through the door at home, Demetrius shoved a few business cards in my face, telling he'd looked through different therapists and that I was going to see one.
He probably just googled good therapists in Mobile.
I tried to put it off as long as possible, coming up with excuses until he told me he'd shoot me if I didn't come.
I'm not sure if he was being honest but I wasn't about to find out.
To make matters worse, he insisted on driving me here and picking me up, as if I were some kind of child.
I still wholeheartedly believed that I don't need therapy, but rather the people around me should stop doing things that evoke certain emotions from me.
Brenda smiled slightly, "Your husband is paying me whether we talk or not."
"So let's not talk. You sit there, and I'll sit here."
She must've thought this was one of the movies where the therapist stares at the patient until they eventually start crying and telling them everything.
Wait on it.
"Why are you here when you clearly don't want to be?"
"I thought we weren't talking?"
"That was your suggestion, I'd like to help you get to the root of your problem." She replied.
"There is no problem. I'm here because everyone thinks I'm crazy, but I'm not."
She stared at me expectantly, waiting for me to finish, "That's it." I said.
"21 is awfully young to be married with kids, don't you think?" She asked, "These are your golden years."
"I didn't feel the need for a hoe phase. Next."
Brenda laughed, "You didn't feel the need, or your husband didn't?"
"What's that supposed to mean?"
I watched as she flipped a page, "When Demetrius called, he said, and I quote, "Yeah I'm just tryna get her to see somebody 'cause the fucking girl really needa be locked up somewhere but Ion want that forreal."
