"Thank you again sir," I nodded as I sat down on the couch across from my therapist.
"Oh please, don't mention it.." he waved off, "when I received your email and heard your story I could not help but accept your case." He explained.
"Yeah I searched online for some of the best, most reliable therapists in the country. You had amazing reviews and based on the description you gave yourself on the website—I just knew you'd be the perfect fit for me. I really didn't think I'd get approved seeing as you were based in Los Angeles though." I chuckled.
"Oh I've been traveling a bit more recently for work," he nodded, "my son is off in college and my husband has to travel a lot for his own job so I just keep myself busy in the mean time." He smiled.
"But enough about me—how are you today?" He questioned, placing on his glasses and grabbing his clip board.
"Today," I repeated in thought, "Well I guess I'm fine, my best friends went back home yesterday so I was a little sad about that." I confessed, "but my modeling agency let me know I have a magazine cover coming out soon, so I'm really excited for that!"
"First, Congratulations on that, that's amazing." he said foremost.
"Could you describe a bit of that sadness you felt after the departure of your best friends?" He questioned.
"Well Mr.Hoseok—
"Oh please you don't have to call me that, you can call me Joshua!" He said politely.
"are you sure?" I questioned.
"Of course." He nodded.
I smiled and again began to speak, "well it wasn't overwhelming like the sadness I felt when my cousin and nephew died, or when me and Jayce faught—this was more just like normal sadness if that makes sense."
"It does, it does," he nodded.
"They came to you when you were in lots of need—it's normal to feel sad at their absence." He told me.
"Speaking of your family and your ex, have you heard from either of them?" He asked.
I frowned and shook my head, "I reached out to my cousin but I didn't get a response—my mom keeps saying to give it time but I just don't want to miss the funerals." I explained.
"And then with Jayce, after that fight he got into a couple days ago that's all over the internet—I wanted to reach out but I just couldn't. Everytime I'd even see his contact name I'd just hear the echo of him calling me, miserable, telling me I was dead to him, that he wished he never met me." I ranted.
By the end I was once again holding back tears, and yeah, I was tired of me crying too at this point.
"Unfortunately August, while I understand and completely agree with taking some time away from him to heal. That healing won't be complete until the two of you sit down and discuss everything that happened that day." Joshua explained.
