"Hey you Ready?" Jonah asks coming into my room

"Do I have to go?"

"I'm sorry Alyssa but yeah"

"Ugh I hate it. Everyone definitely judges me"

"That's not true. Plus think about it. You only have to do group once a week"

"Fine"

I get up and put on my shoes

Its been 3 months since Cam raped me and I've been going to therapy every day

Once a week I have to go to group therapy along with every other day of alone therapy

I think it's helping me

After Cam did that to me, I wouldn't let anyone other than Ryan touch me, not even any of my brothers

I also didn't want to go to school cause I know I'd have to see him

However, Jonah (without my knowing) told the police what he did and now Cam is on house arrest

I had to go and explain what happened which was hard for me to do but that was gladly the last time I've ever seen him

Ever since I started therapy however, I've been more open with what happened and I'm able to talk about it

Also I've started letting people touch me again and I went back to school after a month

Schools gladly over now and its summer and it's been a lot of fun

I'm always with Ryan. and even though it's literally everyday, we still always have something new to talk about

Speaking of Ryan this whole time that I've been getting better, me and Ryan have been getting even closer

He is literally the best boyfriend ever. He always picks me up from therapy with my brothers and is constantly asking if I'm okay

I love him a lot and I know he loves me too

Today's our 8 month anniversary and I swear it feels like we've been together for years and years
-
Ryan- HAPPY 8 MONTHS!!!! I LOVE YOU SOOOOO MUCH AND I CANT WAIT TO SEE YOU TONIGHT WE'RE GONNA HAVE SOOOOO MUCH FUN

Alyssa- Awww I love you I can't wait for tonight either

I smile at my phone and we get to the office

"Talk a lot today okay"

"Yes Jonah I know. And by the way I always talk"

"That's not what your therapist says"

"Whatever she just doesn't tell you the truth"

"Okay sure. Now go you're going to be late"

I sigh and leave the car

"Bye"

"Bye have fun"

I roll my eyes and head into the office
