Moving In - A Vinnie Hacker Story

Moving In S2 Pt 25 - Don't Lie

(this is the final part of season two - there will be a season three)

*Y/n's POV*

So, I finally got a therapist. I know, right? It's longgg overdue, but at least I finally did it. Her name is Juniper. She said her parents were hippies and did shrooms instead of an epidural when her mom gave birth to her. Anyways, they thought that Juniper Janie Jackson was a perfect name for their baby girl.

She said she hated it as a kid, but grew to love it and find humor in it actually. Her parents had her at 18, so she's quite close to them still.

I love Juniper. She gets me. She understands my concerns and doesn't treat me like a child dealing with first world problems like every other adult.

I've met with her four times in the past two weeks. We talk more on the phone, but she doesn't charge me for that. Luckily she's not a super expensive therapist, which is really hard to find.

I told her about Vinnie and she told me that she thought that what I did was brave and a great idea for me. I thought she was full of shit for the first week. Every damn day I regretted what I had done, but she finally made me realize that if I stayed with him, I would have blamed him for something he couldn't control.

Juniper told me that her parents got her a therapist at 13 because she walked in on them having sex. She told them that it was traumatizing in a joking manner, but they took it seriously and hired someone. Her mother said that the female orgasm is linked to sexual trauma, mental health, and fantasies.

They thought that if her first experience with every witnessing sex was her parents and she called it "traumatizing," that she would never cum in her life. They were dramatic, but honestly, they had the right idea.

I kept holding off on addressing my mental health and actually talking to someone about it. I didn't want to make Vinnie worried; I definitely didn't want to stress out my mom even more; and David would either be really helpful, make me furious, or just get on my ass. I didn't want to deal with any of that. So, I didn't. Then I couldn't cum.

I just got off the phone with Juniper and she told me that I was making a lot of progress. I loved hearing that from her because I knew she wouldn't lie to me. She suggested that I hang out with David today to try and get out of the house again.

He told me to meet him at Phil's for some coffee. I could definitely use some of that right now, given how I've barely slept in a long time.

I drove over there and saw David standing outside, waiting for me.

D: How've you been? I haven't seen you in forever!
Y/n: I'm okay. I'm way better than I was last week.
D: What's this I hear about you breaking up with Vinnie? Girl, I told you not to let that man go.
Y/n: I didn't break up with him. We're taking a month off. I wasn't in the headspace to be in a relationship. I am certainly not letting him go.
D: Good! Because that man loves you. I know he has his flaws, as does everyone ever, but I've genuinely never seen a man so engrossed in someone. I'm glad you're taking time for you, though. You know I always put you first.
Y/n: Yes, I know. And I love him too, that's why I don't want to pick fights with him over nothing.
D: Okay, I trust your judgement. Let's get some coffee before we continue this conversation.
Y/n: Agreed.

We never ended up continuing the conversation. We went shopping and David picked out the most beautiful pair of pants I have ever seen. If they were my size, I would have stolen them from him. He got lucky this time.

He bought me some rings to cheer me up. I always want new rings, so it made me very happy.

David didn't drive because he was hungover from whatever party he was at last night. He's really having a hot guy summer, meanwhile, I'm cooped up in my apartment in tear-stained pajamas most of the time.
