Kianna
Next Day...
"So, Ms.Johnson you say your having...past trouble?" the therapist, Dr.Paige asked.
I've been sitting here for the past two hours with this man talking about absolutely nothing.
I was ready to go home, take a shower, and watch Netflix, but I have to get myself together before I actually become crazy.
I guess I'll just have to put myself before any friendship, or relationship, or whatever it is with Trent. He's obviously into me.
Like who wouldn't be I'm a bad bitch.
I nodded at Dr.Paige. "Yes, personal issues from my past not even a year ago."
"Do you mind telling me what those issues are?" he asked flipping some pages and clicking his pen.
"Well...it started after Christmas. My ex and I was always arguing, and we said things we didn't mean sometimes. I definitely said some things to purposely get him upset just because I wasn't as mature then, as I am now." I said.
He nodded writing something down.
Probably nothing.
"What would the arguments be about?" he asked peeping at me through his glasses.
I looked down playing with my finger. Most of the arguments Dex and I got into started because I was always assuming
"Petty things." I sighed looking at him. "I would accuse him of cheating because he use to come home late, but he was trying to rap or whatever."
He could've been like anybody else and set the lil microphone up in the closet. I could've be the manger, or however that shit goes.
He looked at me to continue. "I also come from a broken home. No dad, no other family except my brothers. I didn't have any friends because my younger self just couldn't get along with kids my age. It's like we think completely different." I said.
I was so happy when Jace and I graduated.
I walked into my first year with no friends, and walked out my last year with no friends.
Friends aren't everything, but I guess they're good to have.
Kali was good to me.
Lex was coming around slowly but I wasn't about to rush a damn thing with her.
"Dex and I met through my brothers. They was always up to something, and when they found out Dex was being all friendly with me...they didn't like it but they let me be happy." I said low key missing the way things use to be when I was 16, and 17.
18 wasn't treating me too good.
"Fast forward around January when things started to get out of hand...the day he put his hands on me, it wasn't the first time, but he punched me so hard my mouth was hurting for almost two weeks." I said.
I looked at the therapist watching me liked he actually cared about what came out my mouth.
"Dex always been strange, but it was one day he came home acting more aggressive. Had his head filled with lies of me doing things behind his back."
Flashback...
Scrolling through Instagram I heard the door open. I smiled jumping off the couch ready to tell Dex I had good news. Dex marched his way in the living room with a very calm look.
I raised my eyebrows ignoring him. "So I have some news you might be happy to hear." I smiled turning my phone off sitting it beside me.
He looked at my phone then at me. "Let me see yo' phone."
I frowned. Grabbing phone typing my password in handing it to him. He snatched it out my hands.
I rolled my eyes. "What's wrong with you? You ruining my mood."
Dex tapped my phone a whole bunch of unnecessary times before he threw it back at me. "What's his name?"
I looked confused. "What?"
He stood up dropping his keys on the coffee table. "Did I s-stutter?"
He was posed up like he wanted to fight, and I definitely wasn't in the mood for whatever bullshit he had going on.
"Ok." I stood. "First of all, you don't come in my house asking questions about shit that don't make sense." I said. "Second of all, calm down because you don't even have to act the way you acting right now."
"Who is the nigga, Kianna?"
I groaned. "What nigga? Are you drunk?" I asked.
"Who is he?" he asked.
"Wow. You're that insecure to the point you think I'm cheating?" I laughed.
"You do the same shit." he argued.
I rolled my eyes. "I have a reason to! You come in my house every night late as fuck ."
"Who you been having in here?! I know you have people over." he said looking down on me.
I twisted my face. "Nobody come over here but my brothers and you know that. I don't know why you're acting brand-fucking-new!" I yelled back.
He slapped the side of my head grabbing my hair.
My real fucking hair.
"Who the hell you yelling at?!" he yelled.
"Let my hair go!" I said digging my nails into the side of his stomach causing him to let go, only for him to punch my face.
I fell back holding my lip. "Tell me who the nigga is."
Blood was on my fingers. "There is no nigga!" I yelled holding my tears back.
Dex stood straight grabbing my arm dragging me to the room to continue his beatings.
I explained the most of the things to the therapist.
I made sure to leave out the part I where 'accidentally' killed my ex, and he came back to life and beat the shit, and baby out of me.
Rest In Peace baby.
The therapist nodded scribbling things down. He place down the notebook looking at me.
"We'll meet again tomorrow at 2." he smiled.
I sarcastically smiled back grabbing my purse and phone to leave. I closed the door rolling my eyes.
I don't see how that man is a therapist if all he do is sit there, and nod as if he understood what I was feeling.
I checked my phone seeing the lock screen blank.
Dry ass phone. I said in my head.
Dropping it in my purse walking down the stairs to leave the building. I unlocked my car tossing my purse in the passenger seat.
"Kianna, hey."
I turned my head seeing Valerie walking towards my car. I was ready to close my door. Ready to speed off leaving dust in face.
Instead I decided to be a decent human and speak.
"Hey." I spoke twisting my keys.
Valerie smiled looking at the building. "Strange place to be in the middle of the day."
I tightly smiled squinting my eyes like I couldn't see.
"Strange to be stalking your coworker in the middle of the day." I said pulling my jeans up.
She looked me up, and down before looking in my face. "Is that hickey?" she gasped dramatically.
Then she wickedly smiled. "You and Trent were actually fucking?"
I rolled my eyes."I'm leaving now." I said opening my car door.
"My cousin, Dierra, or as you know Mrs.Knight would be crushed to find out her favorite worker was having sex in her building." Valerie laughed.
I looked at her. "I see you're still testing me." I took my slippers off laying them in my car. "I'm not at work, so I will happily whoop your ass right here."
She laughed flipping her hair. "That's not ladylike. That's shows you weren't raised right." she paused holding a finger up. "Oh, wait...you wasn't."
I looked around not seeing nobody around on this empty street. "You're going to make me get out of character." I smiled.
"You know...from those papers I always knew you were mental. Like I knew, but now you're proving me right."
I punched her one good time in her face making blood leak from her nose, and lip.
"That should be a warning then." I said. "Better clean that up before you bleed out."
She stood there holding her face. "You're gonna regret it." she said walking away.
I rolled my eyes hopping in my car. I dialed Kali number driving off.
She answered on the second ring. "Hey, bebby?"
"Girl, you'll never guess what happened."
