Live a Little

Chapter 23

Thankyou for the idea @Jaylee2025, Hope you enjoy!

I walked into my office and sat down, this morning went how it usually did, I woke up, made Breakfast, got Jamie ready, Jack picked her up and I left for work, it was the same routine but it was my favourite routine.

Currently I was getting ready for my last appointment of the day and for Jamie to be getting dropped off here by Milo, who's picks her up for me.

*Mrs Wilson, your 3pm is here*

The intercom buzzed into my office, I told my receptionist Claire to let them in

Whilst waiting I went to my file cabinet, Every morning Claire Puts in all the files for that days appointments so they where easy for me to access

I heard the door open and shut

"Take a seat I won't be a moment" I said softly whilst rooting through the cabinet and finally pulling out the right file

"Ok, so Mr Reed, Vin-" I paused mid sentence and looked up, it was him

"Vincent?" I said my eyes wide matching his, he obviously wasn't expecting me.

He looks older, obviously, but more mature, his hair was a bit longer but his eyes still as blue as the day I first met him, he was wearing a tight black V neck and some blue jeans. I looked down at his hands and saw it, the snowflake he had got for me, before I betrayed him, before he left me.

"Snow" He said in disbelief, still calling me by my nickname the sound of it sent chills through my body, does he hate me?

"I thought you moved away" I asked sitting down at my desk still in slight shock

"I-I did, but I moved back, I er, I think I should go" he started to stand up and leave but he booked a therapy session for a reason and I couldn't just let him leave without trying to help him

"Vincent Sit!" I said firmly and he did as he was told

"You came here for a reason, forget you know me, I'm Mrs Wilson, your therapist not A girl you used to know" he nodded reluctantly

"So it says in here that you have been dealing with stress and anxiety issues recently" I asked and he nodded

"Ok so what triggers your stress?"

"I have a secret" he said quietly

"Can you tell me your secret?" This was the root of the problem and I knew he would talk to me, we used to talk about anything and everything

He nodded

"I, I think I'm Gay" he mumbled, probably expecting me to be shocked which I was a little bit but this was nothing new for me, I'd dealt with plenty of people who have suffered due to them being in the closet

"Tell me about your past, after you moved down south" I said disregarding what he told me to show him it wasn't a big deal

"Oh, well, I moved for my parents jobs, I didn't want to but I knew a change was what I needed,...I-I can't do this Mason, not with you, you fucked me up back then, badly" I felt guilt run through me but I don't think I actually did anything wrong, we technically weren't dating.

"I left and moved to Georgia, finding out you slept with Elliot of all people broke my heart, I really loved you, maybe I still do. I changed schools and became cold hearted, I became a fuckboy to put it simply, I started to care less about people's emotions just banging random girls for fun, I was scared of commitment"

A breakthrough, commitment.

"Then one night I was at a party about to take a girl upstairs when this guys stopped me, his name was Michael, form then on my emotions came back, we became best friends and well more than that but I'm still so confused, I still find girls attractive, like you, your still as beautiful as your Where when you where 17" I blushed at his comment
