Chapters 129 & 130 Unbreak The Broken/ All Over The Place

He's an entertainer at heart.

Julia takes him away from what he loves. Constantly. She sucks the life out of Nate. Emotionally, physically, and when it comes to his career. He fucking shortened his tour because of her. Something he has been planning for over two years for someone he has barely even known for a few months. And now look, she's not even with him. 

I take that back. They are NOT compatible at all.

I stay out of the way and let Jonah, Paul and Nate handle Julia. She's obviously not well right now and shutting down on everyone. Whatever is going on in that room sounds overly stressful and I don't want any part of it. I stay in the living room and keep Maggie calm. Poor dog hates the yelling. Fortunately, with the bedroom door closed, it's muffled.

But I'm the only one in the living room so when someone knocks on the damn Avalon door, I can't open it with my coordination being off.

"Um guys?" I yell through the apartment.  "Someone's at the door and James can't open doors." 

Nate hears me and comes to help. He opens the door and to my surprise, when I see Jeremy in the doorway, I also see his red swollen eyes. The guy has been crying. Whawtever happened between him and Julia today was big. What I don't quite understand is the fact Jeremy is holding the first aid box. Did Julia hurt someone? Herself?

"Bedroom." Nate mutters and my stomach drops.

"What's going on??" I try not to think the worst.

"Julia popped a few stitches out, that's all." Nate sighs.

Oh thank God. Something minor but I don't even want to know how she did that. She must have hit a wall or pushed someone or something. Julia really does need so much healing.

While sitting on the couch I close my eyes and silently pray for my best friend. Because something's gotta give with her. She's so fucking stubborn but she needs more help than she is getting and it's her own damn fault. Maybe she needs to be forced to go to the sessions, I don't know, but something has to change. I want to see her heal and thrive and grow while she's here. She's not doing any of that. 

I pray for a good amount of time before there's another knock on the door. Nate hears it right away and comes out to answer the door. Paul is usually the one to always answer the door, being Nate and Julia's bodyguard, but he must have his hands full with whatever is going on with Julia in the bedroom.

Trevor stands in the doorway, ready to bring me to the next session. When he sees the distraught look on my face he knows it's not a good day. 

"What is it, James?"

"Julia. She's having a hard time right now." I don't get into details but tell the therapist the jist of it. I swear Trevor has been more my therapist than Julia's lately. She doesn't give him the time of day.

"Oh man." His face saddens. "I really wish she'd be open to sit down and talk to me. She could use a good counseling session. And Jeremy....I don't know. He keeps to himself or talks to Dr. Cohen but I know he has some mental illnesses of his own that he needs to deal with. He doesn't tell me much though."
