Mia

"I'm glad you've decided to resume your therapy, Mia," Dr. Jones said. "It's a big step to admit that you need help again."

I nodded and gave him a small smile and he adjusted his glasses before holding up his notepad. "So you believe that Iris must've had some sort of spell over Cain for him to fall for her."

"Yes, there was a spell," I confirmed.

"Why do you believe there was a spell?" He asked. "Is it because you believe Iris isn't attractive, or because you believe Cain would never reject you?"

"Both," I admitted. "Cain has been pining for me for over four years. He wouldn't just suddenly stop so abruptly."

"What if it wasn't abrupt?" He asked. "Don't you believe it's possible he could've been losing feelings for you over some time? You did after all continuously choose another man over him."

"I just don't think that's realistic," I said.

"So you cut off her wings so the supposed spell would cease?"

"Yes."

"Okay Mia, I'm going to need you to listen to me for a few seconds. What I'm going to say may make you feel like you're losing grip of your reality and it may even disrupt any thought processes you've had since the day you hurt Iris," he said.

"What is it?" I asked nervously as I held my hair between my fingers.

"Fairies...are not capable of love spells."

"What?" I questioned.

"Fairies are only capable of magic like that through deals with powerful forces," he said.

"Maybe Lucifer," I offered.

"Lucifer has never been known to do love spells, and he's no longer the ruler of Hell."

"Maybe it was Queen," I said quickly as the touching of my hair became rougher. Dr. Jones looked at my hands before looking at me and he shook his head.

"Queen is your friend, remember? She wouldn't make her brother fall for another girl when she's been rooting for you," he said.

I quickly shook my head and looked around the room frantically. "Where did you get your degree? You're not very helpful."

"Mia, focus. Iris did nothing to Cain."

"Yes, she did," I argued. "She had to."

"No, Mia," he said. "She did nothing wrong at all. Cain just fell in love with her."

"No, that's not true." I shook my head. I remembered the moment Cain and I first met. He told me about how he instantly fell in love with me, and how there was nobody else for him. Iris was the one who was at fault here.

"It is. You've been stringing Cain along all these years, and he must've gotten tired," he said smoothly.

"I didn't string him along," I said. "He was where he wanted to be."

"And Jackson?" He asked. "Was he where he wanted to be? Having to stay at home as his girlfriend cheated on him every night?"

My head began spinning at his words and my head shook as I tried to look for other alternatives to what he was saying.

He's a liar.

"Did he want to witness you fall in love with another man and then have you suggest a polyamorous relationship?" He asked.

I held my hands over my ears and closed my eyes. I shook my head quickly and rocked myself back and forth to erase all of his words from my mind. "You're not real. You're a liar. Iris sent you, didn't she?!" I screamed.
