Beaten, Working Toward Recovery Chapter 5
When Jacqueline Gray opened her door she noticed the blond had obviously had a recent trauma in her life, and the brunette had a lot of pent up energy. One of the first things Jacq always did with her couples was watch them. She liked to act like she was getting her supplies together when they first walked into her office, just so she could see them reacting with each other, before they reacted with her.
She purposely had her furniture in her office set up so she could tell how close a couple was. She had two overstuff chairs beside each other, but not together. Then she had a less comfortable couch on the other side of the office. She had seen supposedly happy couples sit in the chairs, and never touch each other. Sometimes she would have couples married over 20 years sit on the couch but not beside each other. But these two decided to sit on the couch, right beside each other. Though there was plenty of room on the couch for these two small women, they choose to sit right beside each other. Jacq took this as a good sign, because not matter what they might reveal in these sessions it was obvious these two were close and cared.
She introduced herself asking them to call her Jacq, and then asked the ladies to introduce themselves.
Dana was the first to introduce herself, telling Jacq how she and Alice were best friends, and how this traumatic event had changed their lives, as she no longer felt safe about being ***** in America. How after that night she realized that there were people who hated her only because of her sexual orientation.
Jacq listened as Dana talked about the obvious outward repercussions of this event, but then she asked how Dana felt this changed hers and Alice’s relationship. At first, Dana was a little stunned by the bluntness of the question, and suddenly she wished she had let Alice go first. “I don’t know if it changed that much? Alice is still my best friend. I realized how important she is to me, and I have a hard time not being with her right now. I guess I’m still a little scared something might happen to her.”

i really like where this story is going so far and can’t wait for you to post again. keep em comin.
I think I told you this before but let me do this here. The things I enjoyed most about this chapter:
– The touches of fluff and humor were great, it evens out the pain of the subject and true to life
– I’ve always thought you did a great job capturing not only Alice’s fear but the impact it has on Dana as well. The protective nature of Dana was perfectly expressed.
– The moment that Alice felt her fears set in at the beach was spot on and real.
– Last but not least, Dana thoughts about the treadmill was so true cause that’s exactly how I felt when I have to run indoors lol.
