Where Did We Go Wrong

Chapter 8: Second Session

"Hey guys how has this week been?" the therapist said 

"I think it went well." Bucky said

"Me too." she said with a smile. 

"Good good no fighting or arguments?" the therapist said 

"We havent' had any of those we have spent a lot of time talking and having dinner together in the living room cause we don't want to be in the kitchen right now. We are actually thinking about finding us another brownstone." Natalie said 

"Well that's good. Now this session I want to talk about seeing each other for the first time since the divorce. I have spoke with Natasha and Steve Rogers. Nat informed me Bucky that when she first suggested that Natalie come work for the school that you were against it. Explain to me why you were so against it if you have been feeling remorseful about the divorce." Dr Brown said 

Bucky let out a breathe and said"Cause I was afraid to see her at that time as much as I missed her and still cared about her and loved her. I was afraid to see her cause I was afraid that we wouldn't get along and I even said that to Nat. I knew that me technically being her boss too would cause more tension." 

"You being her boss too? What do you mean?' Dr Brown said

"I am the assistant athletic director." he said 

"Oh so you were afraid that hiring her as coach would cause you two to but heads more than before because of her need for control." Dr Brown said

"Yes." he said 

"Ok well that did happen according to Nat she said that Natalie called her after her interview and said that you were being a sarcastic ass in the interview and then you two got into it in front of everyone at the practice. So let's start with the interview and I want to start with Natalie how did you feel that day?' Dr Brown said

"Well um I was nervous that day especially being back at the school it where we went to school the start of our relationship and it was hard. I was already having a tough week cause my engagement to someone else had been called off. They didn't tell me who the assistant athletic director was so when I seen him and Coach Fury introduced him to me like we didn't know each other my heart broke and I felt tears welling in my eyes. I told them I needed a minute and I found a bathroom and cried for a few seconds and then tucked it away and went back in the room and tried to not look at him cause quite honestly all I wanted to do was kiss him and tell him I was sorry." she said 

"You weren't the only one feeling that way baby." he said 

"Ok now let's go on to you Bucky how did you feel seeing her in that interview?" Dr Brown said 

"I just I couldn't get over how unbelievably beautiful she looked her red hair so long and curled. She looked amazing. I felt myself falling back in love with her all over again. When I seen her tears it took me back to the night she left and she was crying. I wanted to hug her and kiss her and tell her how sorry I was for leaving her without even talking to her. I could tell when they introduced her to me that she was still hurting just like me. I mean I had been keeping pictures of us hidden in my desk drawer that I look at when I would start to miss her just like the day that Coach Fury told me I had to be in interview with her I pulled them out and cried. I hid my pain and regret and guilt from my friends." Bucky said 

"Ok now on to something that happened later that day. The first practice that Natalie ever attended." Dr Brown said 

"oh no.." Natalie said 

"That fight was bad." Bucky said 

"I know Nat and Steve told me all about that one and a few others that we are going discuss today. What happened?" Dr Brown said
