*3-4 Weeks Later*

“So as you know this is our last session. I must say your progress is outstanding. In two months you’ve gone from hurting and destructive to almost a new person in the way you deal with that hurt. How does it feel?” his tone was proud and adoring.

I hesitated a moment as my face broke into a smile, “Amazing. There’s barely an ache there anymore and there’s absolutely no desire to get drunk. I have found other ways to cope. I never could have done it without you.”

He was smiling as I finished, “Well I’m happy I could help.” There was a comfortable moment of silence before he spoke again. “So we are going to do one last little exercise. I’m going to say a word and you’re going to tell me the first thing that pops into your head without thinking about it. Sound like a plan?” I nodded in response. “Alright, first word, warm.”

“Comfortable.”

“Pillows.”

“Sleep.”

“Food.”

“Cooking,” my smile was wide.

“Alright good. Those were practice words, testing the waters. Now we’re going to get into the real words; ready?” I nodded again and he spoke with almost caution in his voice when he continued. “Chad.”

“Past.”

“Drinking.”

“Unhelpful.”

“Drunk.”

“Don’t want to be,” I cringed as I shook my head.

“Jennifer.”

“Missed.”

“Pain.”

“Gone,” I nodded with the beginnings of a smile on my lips.

“Sad.”

“I’m not,” my smile grew.

“Harry.”

“Love,” I giggled as my smile grew fond.

“Happiness.”

“Finally,” I sighed it out.

He smiled as he nodded “Good. It really does sound like you’re doing better. I truly am going to miss you.”

I chuckled, “I’m going to miss you too, Brazie.” The timer sounded then and I pouted. “I guess this is goodbye then.”

He nodded serenely, “Sadly so.”

“Thank you… so much, for everything.”

“I’m glad I could help, it was my pleasure.

And I have the next chapter written, it just needs some editing before I post it so expect it Thursday or Friday maybe. That will be the last one before the epilogue and the end. I might cry when it's over, I've been writing this story for almost a year and a half. Well sorry for the dramatics but yea here you are.


I've thought briefly about an attachment to this story. IF I do one it will be a prequel in Harry's point of view before he met Natalie. I haven't decided for sure if I want to do it but you guys should let me know what you think! :-) okay loveeeeeeeeeee! <3
