04- If You Need A Friend

Chris' POV
"Hello everyone!" Dr. Wang smiled "How's everyone's Wednesday going so far?"

We all mumbled, "Good."

I leaned back in my chair and crossed my arms. I see no point in group therapy with a bunch of weirdos. Shawty with the green eyes that I bumped into yesterday was in my circle meeting but the difference between me and her was that she actually looked interested in the bullshit they was feeding her. I shook my head as the meeting went on.

"Chris why don't you tell us a bit about yourself?", Dr.Wang asked.

I shrugged and leaned forward in my seat,"Yeah , I'm Chris-"

"Hi Chris.", everyone said to me.

I paused at how cliche this whole thing is then I continue," and I'm an entertainer, I have a three year old daughter, and I don't want to be here. I think it's a waste of time if you ask me. No offense Doc or anyone else this stuff might be helpful to y'all but I don't need this."

"Why do you feel that way?", Dr. Wang asked.

"People just keep testing and since I have a "bad reputation" everyone always tries to get a reaction from me. But like I said, I don't need this."

"Then why are you here?", green eyed shawty muttered.

"I'm here because the judge ordered me to but best believe if I had a choice I would be back at home with my daughter and my girlfriend."

"I don't mean to sound rude when I say this but, I think everyone here has seen the trouble you've gotten into over the years and my guess is it was either this or some higher level of punishment like prison or something. But you know, no offense or anything.", she shrugged.

Damn. She read me like a book and I was pissed it came from someone like her who would normally be all over me. I felt my blood boiling and my eyes narrowing in her direction but I remained silent and leaned back in my chair and was quiet the rest of the meeting. It's better if I keep quiet or else I'm not just hurting her feelings, I'll hurt everyone else's feelings in here too.

When our Circle meeting was finally over, I stood up to leave and felt a tap on my shoulder. I spun around and saw green eyed shawty looking up at me.

"What?", I huffed under my breath.

"Hey sorry for what I said back there. I didn't mean to embarrass you.",she said running a hand through her long hair.

"And what makes you think you embarrassed me?"

"I don't know I was just kinda harsh back there."

"Well you ain't hurt my feelings shawty.", I kind of huffed.

She chuckled,"Whatever you say Chris. Either way I didn't mean anything by it, I just think you should be a little more careful with your choice of words around here because there's some folks with a lot of problems that are really tryna get better. Anyways, see ya around."

I watched as she walked away with some blonde girl and it looked like they were headed to the cafe.

Robyn's POV

"He likes you Rob.", Sarah smirked.

I shook my head,"Chillll. I'm not even checking for him."

"You mean to tell me, you're not the least bit attracted to Chris Brown? Thee Chris Brown?"

"His face is cute but his attitude is trash."

"Attitude can be fixed! I'm sure that's why he's here."
