Chapter 28

Kayla

I walk into Claire’s office and sit in the same chair as last time. Her office is a calm setting not something you would expect in a counselor's office. It looks airy and relaxing. The chairs are a pale blue with white flowers. I’m surprised she has such light colored furniture, considering so many people come in and sit on it, it could so easily get dirty. She has hardwood floors with a huge tan area rug and the walls are a light cream color. Her desk is a white washed light wood with a marble top that has the same blue and tan colors swirled in it. There are also some beautiful spring flower arrangements in vases throughout the room. I’m in love with this office. Blake should use these colors in his house. The thought of him and his house causes me to unconsciously smile.

I had been too nervous to pay attention to the office decor last time I was here. Today, I’m surprisingly calm, even after my encounter with David. My hand is still hurting, however, it felt good to hit him. How dare he call me that. He was the only person I had been with until Blake. David knows I’m not like that. I waited over a year before I was with him and then…. I can’t go there.

Claire comes over and sits in the seat across from me. “Hi, Kayla. How have you been doing the last couple of days?”

“I’m good. I read my scriptures and I thought about what you said.” She is writing some in a book she has. I’d love to get a hold of that to see what she is writing about me.

“And, what do you think? Did you come up with some answers?”

Finally being able to stand up to David has given me courage. But even more than that just meeting Blake has caused me to look at things differently. I’m always trying so hard to please everyone else, I’ve forgotten that I should be happy too. So, here goes. Since, I’m feeling stronger I’m going to spill my guts here.

“I think the scripture was telling me that even though I don’t know what’s going on that I need to trust the Lord, because he has a plan for my life. That I need to trust in him and rely on him and not myself.”

“Very good Kayla. That’s very insightful for someone your age.”

I’m smiling back at her. “My grandmother was adamant about making me go to Church and teaching me God’s word. She is really an amazing woman. She was there for me when nobody else was. I don’t know where I would be today without her intervention in my life. I make mistakes, but I always hear her voice trying to guide me. Sometimes I listen and sometimes I don’t.” I laugh and Claire just smiles at me.

“What about the questions I told you to think about?”

I twist my hands together. How am I going to
