Sanders Sides one shots

Therapy Is A Nightmare...

Another angst. Sorry Loagn... TW: self harm, nightmare

"Please consider him. He is really good."
Patton is the one person I can never say no to. I take the slip of paper. It has a number and address on it. "I will make a call. Maybe I will text."
Patton nodded.
A few hours later, I keep to my word. After a quick conversation, I have an appointment booked.

The day of my appointment arrives. I'm nervous as hell. I have to get Patton to do my tie. I go to the address and sit in the waiting room. My name is called and I enter the room.
Inside, there's a man in a tan cardigan and a pink tie.
He smiles at me. "Mr Sanders?"
I nod. "Yes."
He gestures for me to sit down and I do so.
"So what brings you here today?"
I give the slip of paper to the man. "This was given to me this morning."
He frowns. "By who?"
"My boyfriend, Patton Dove."
He smiles. "Why are you here today?"
I fix my gaze to the floor and I find myself unable to speak. Instead, I roll back my sleeves and show him my exposed wrists. They are cut and scarred. As soon as I know he's registered them, I pull down my sleeves again. "Mr Sanders..."
His voice softens slightly. "What happened?"
I look up at him. "I am the reason behind these scars."
He hands me a knife. "show me, please."
I gulp. "Please. Mr Sanders. I need to see you self harm." he encourages me.
Taking a deep breath, I hold the blade in hand and bring it to my arm. Once the first scratch crosses my skin, I cry out. I hold the blade in my left hand while I press down on the other side of the wrist until the cuts bleed. Tears stream from my eyes.
When I finally lower the knife, I look away.
He takes my hand gently and looks at the cuts. His thumb wipes away the blood.

A jolt of pain shoots through my back as I sit up, breathing heavy. I check my arms. There's scars there, but no new cuts. I sigh. Just a dream... Yeah... A real bad dream...
