2 months later✨.

kk🦋.

"i've been doing okay.. still sad most days but im getting through it" kk told her therapist.

"have you tried talking it out with some friends or family ? you only see my once a week" her therapist asked.

"i mean i try to talk to my girlfriend but then i just keep it all inside"

"well thats one problem, bottling up how you feel only makes it worse. it would help a lot if you confided in someone"

"what's been going through your head lately ?" her therapist asked.

"um failure.. im scared of failing in life. im scared i might not graduate college" kk said.

"your doing a fabulous job tho pretty. you have all a's your basketball career is only gonna get better.. your a freshmen you still have 3 more years left you got this you just gotta believe in yourself" amanda her therapist said.

kk had been going to counseling for almost a month now.. she had been dealing with depression for more than a year but she finally decided to get help.

she had yet to tell juju she was going to counseling because the thought of being judged by her girlfriend and teammates scared her.

juju🌸.

"bestie do not go back to him. he is not good for you and you deserve so much better than him" juju said the her best friend amoura.

"but bestiee, i love him. we dated for almost 5 years" amoura said.

"and i understand that but what he did to you is unacceptable and wrong. he hurt you bestie. you gotta know your worth and know you ain't deserve that and you deserve someone better"

"it's hard to move on especially after 5 years with the same person but there is nothing wrong with starting over. it could be good for you. stop holding on to what was holding you back" juju said.

"your such a wise girl juju.. you've always been wise and smart. thank you"

"ofc your my best friend yk imma have yo back. now block that nigga and move on" juju said.

"and if you don't i will" she added.

juju watched as amoura told him she was done for good. she blocked him and juju couldn't be more proud.. she knew it was hard for her because they were together for 5 years but she knew it was for the best .

the only thing now is making sure she stand on business and don't take him back. she was ready to slap her head if she even thought about it.

kk🦋.

"you know most counselors/therapists try to settle their patients problems with constant prescription of medication. it doesn't always work and in some cases it works for a little and then stops"

"but me im here to help you kk.. so that means giving you someone to talk to, to confide in and cry on when you need it most. expressing how your feeling is important and can help you more than you think.. it helps more than medication" amanda said.

"now one last question before our session ends"

"what are you scared of most ?" amanda ask.

"dying" was all kk said.

amanda looked up at her. her face gave sadness. she already knew what kk meant by that one word.

"im scared of dying .. im scared of losing this battle to depression. i'm scared that i might now have much fight in me left, that i cant be any stronger or hold on" kk said.

amanda watched as tears streamed down kk's eyes. she knew deep down kk was right. but she knew in her own mind kk was strong and that she would make it through. she had faith in her.

"kk you are so strong and so beautiful. you matter more than your head and heart is telling you. your gonna make it through.. i know you are. God has plans for you & that's not losing this battle. a better life is coming you just gotta have faith" amanda said.

she watched as kk bawled her eyes out. she needed that.. she needed someone to listen to her & understand her instead of saying "here's some medication take it and you will get better".

kk got up and hugged her therapist. over the last month they formed a special bond. it wasn't just a therapist and patient .

it was more of a friend to friend. kk could go to her with anything.

————————————————-

third person🫧.

kk pulled out of chic-fil-a. after her therapy session and a lot of crying it made her so hungry but she felt so much better about getting that off her chest.

she pulled up to the parking lot grabbing her food and phone before walking to her dorm. she wiped her face but her eyes were still puffy.

she walked into her dorm and saw juju and amoura watching tik tok. juju looked up and hopped out of bed.

"hey love, i haven't heard from you all day" juju said hugging her.

when she hugged her kk could feel her body relax. juju was her comfort person and her touch relaxed her at any moment.

"you okay ? you look like you been crying" juju said as she lifted up her chin with her hand.

"oh yeah i'm good" kk said smiling.

"you sure, ma yk you can talk to me" juju said.

"yes i'm sure, but i got food" kk said holding it up.

"ouu i love chic-fil-a" amoura said her thick accent coming out.

amoura was originally from sweden but move to the u.s. when she was 7. that's where she met juju when she attended school .

she didn't spent fluent english and it was hard for her to understand but juju helped her learn to speak english.

"i just love your accent" kk said giggling.

"thank you thank you" she said.

the 3 sat on kk's bed as they ate and talked. they had no idea about the day kk had and she planned on keeping it that way. she didn't want anyone to know. especially not juju.

azzi🎀.

i walked back into our dorm where i found paige making tik toks. i had no words that i wanted to say to her. she's just been on my last nerve.

i watched as she stared at me.

"what bruh ?" i said looking at her.

i could see the cut on her right cheek & no i do not regret it. cus stop playing with me.

"where you been ?" paige said.

"about my business. why you care ? you ain't been caring for a minute now but when im out and about you wanna question me don't worry about it or me" azzi said.

"i'm not allowed to ask ?" paige questioned.

"no your not. mind your business and leave mine alone" azzi snapped quickly.

"your a child azzi" paige said laughing.

paige💕.

azzi really childish when you come to think about it. she think being mad gone make me care cus it's not. it's only making me laugh harder.

"what's so funny ?"

"you. you think being mad gone make me care! well news flash it ain't" paige said.

"you steady going at when really your a joke. like a whole clown bro" paige said laughing.

"paige stop talking to me i dont even care anymore bro" azzi said.

"well obviously you do, you threw a glass at me and busted my face you're really crazy actually. like a real like psychopath and yk i could press charges on you and have you arrested for domestic violence but i already got you mad and bothered so im not" paige said laughing.

azzi walked up to her and got in her face. paige could see the anger in azzi's eyes. it only made her more happy tho.

"IM NOT CRAZY OR A PSYCHOPATH SO DONT CALL ME THAT I WILL HURT YOU" azzi yelled.

paige just sat their and laughed. only making azzi more angry.

"you are tho, you see how you in my face hollering ?"

azzi stared at paige before walking back out the door. she wanted to hurt paige so bad but she had to keep her composure. paige laughed as she walked out the door.

she loved how she could get in azzi's head like that. she just knew she was possessive when her and kk were together.
