Chapter 15
A/N: warning...
This chapter sucks. I had no idea what to do with it so.... I'm saying sorry beforehand
~8~
After Shane defeating Murney, he started helping everyone.
Zoe with her driving lessons.
Lulu and the Fireflies with self-defense lessons.
Seth and his play as a director
He was better now at singing/dancing the Peter Panda song and changing diapers
And not but less important....
"No way" I refused him going to come with me at my session.
"Somehow they don't help you control your anger, Lexi" he said closing the trunk of the minivan as the last box of cookies was uncharged
"Baby steps, Shane. Baby steps" I said sheepishly, shrugging a shoulder but Shane didn't listen to me
"Come on"
"Please! No. Don't you... they're gonna get angry if someone else go" I pointed out following him, cringing seeing inside the small gym was indeed another pastry table "Wow. They really want another food fight" I said with a grimace before seeing my manager trying to get everyone to get quiet as everyone was fighting, verbally with everyone.
I hang back, crossing my arms shooting Shane an 'I told you so' look. "You're gonna struggle getting everyone to shut up. And... eventually getting at least one of us to speak first" I said casually with a shrug "Our manager usually takes another fifteen minutes so we can finally talk. Everyone gets angrier on these meetings than on their houses"
"Not on my watch" Shane pointed at me before going to the center of the gym gaining the attention of my manager. Mark glared at Shane and with a 'go ahead' gesture he backed away, almost fuming with anger
Yeah. I knew he wouldn't last as our manager. He was the third on this past two months
"Attention! Everybody!" Shane called out with authority. I raised my eyebrows in amusement as Chad and Vanessa looked Shane up and down before continuing arguing. Shane frowned and looked at me
I smirked with a shrug, crossing my arms again "Told you so" I mouthed leaning against the wall making his frown grow before grabbing a pastry of the table giving it a look over before looking up to a wall, throwing the muffin to it "What are you doing?" I asked to myself in confusion as the muffin hit the wall roughly making everyone flinch immediately falling into a stunned silence, which surprised me
No one had succeeded on shutting us the fuck up in less than five minutes....
Wow.
"The hell?!" Chad was the first one to glare at Shane. But Shane looked unfazed before looking at me
"You were saying?" Shane asked me tilting his head aside "Fiffteen minutes?"
I gaped at him, straightening up and walking forward sensing everyone's gazes on me "Well, managing everyone to shut up is one thing, but getting them to talk?" I said pointing at my group with raised eyebrows "Have you ever coached an anger management session before?"
"No" Shane answered making some of us to chuckle "But I know how to deal with anger" he told me, making my smirk to falter a bit. What?
Shane clapped his hands nice before facing everyone on the little gym "Now, you all have on thing in common. You're angry, you can't control that anger and you have the need to let it go and you end up using physical force. Am I correct?" He asked looking at each one of us in our eyes.
I shifted my weight to my right leg as I looked down crossing my arms, knowing he was right.
Even Chad looked away with a small huff, some others were avoiding eye contact
"Not true, bald man" Vanessa spoke gesturing all of us "We have no problem. Everyone else think we have a problem" she said making me nod slightly in agreement "No one can accept we're like this so they treat us like they want" she shrugged
Shane frowned at her before noticing I was agreeing. "Alexia come on in here" he instructed me pointing at his side. I didn't move, looking at him defiantly "Now" he ordered making me sigh and walk to him under Chad's wolfy whistles
"Shut the fuck up or I'll force your hand to go where the sun doesn't shine for you" I growled at him. Shane raised his eyebrows in amusement at my threat as I reached his side. Everyone watching either in boredom or curiosity
"So you don't have a problem, huh?" Shane asked me. I shrugged
"I don't" I said crossing my arms. Shane nodded skeptically
"I think you do. All of you do. Accept it" Shane ordered making me roll my eyes
"Aren't you gonna start all the crap about how being angry is a negative emotion and affects our chi or whatever?" Alex spoke with a scowl. He had two more months than I did going to this therapy
"No, I'm not" Shane said shaking his head. "Because you are gonna think what makes you angry. We're gonna start over there" he said making me looked surprised
"What?" I voiced what everyone else was thinking "That's not the whole point of this therapy thing" I said with a frown
"The point is let go of your anger so we can talk" Shane said frowning at me.
"Screw you" I glared at him, angrily
"That's right" Shane nodded "Get your anger out. You never agreed on my presence on your house, you told your mother you didn't want me there, but she still ignored you and still welcomed me to your home. I invaded all your and your siblings lives making changes and ruining your weekends"
Witch each word Shane was saying, more anger was raising up making me clench my hands into fists until I snapped, raising my leg trying to kick between his legs but just like the first time, he saw it coming and caught my leg mid air
"Fuck you" I growled as he threw my leg back down and as soon as he did, I tried to punch him with my right hook, sadly not working as he again caught my fist, gladly not using strength to do any harm like he had done with Murney.
The thought of Murney fulfilling my anger again and with my other hand I tried to punch him but Shane caught my hand with his other one. I struggled wanting my hands back but Shane didn't even move.
I growled angrily, kicking my leg up going to kick his abdomen but he duck back, suddenly spinning me around and pulling me towards him, hugging my hands to my body, restraining me over there for a few minutes
I struggled endlessly on his grip until all my energy left me making me fall to the ground, breathing heavily. My muscles relaxing after my pent up anger left me, weirdly enough starting to feel better
"Lexi?" Shane asked while slowly letting go of my hands and standing up. I took deep breaths trying to calm myself and I slowly looked up and behind me to Shane "Are you okay?"
I shook my head in a positive gesture "I'm not angry if that's what you mean" I said quietly
Shane knelt in front of me "Ready to talk about what makes you angry the most?"
"Murney" I spoke without thinking about it. My heartbeat and breathing slowly steadying "He treats me, Seth and Zoe like crap. He humiliated my sister because she hadn't approved Driver's Ed yet. Jake... I swear he makes me go crazy with anger where I want to kick his ass...badly" that made some people to chuckle in surprise. Not for me wanting to hit Jake but me being the first one to talk. My eyes filled with tears as I thought of another person I was angry with, but I didn't mention it "I hate and it really makes me angry that everyone at home treats me differently because they don't want me getting angry that affects how they interact with me. I am not allowed to even drive" i said with a watery chuckle, wiping my tears with the back of my hand, Shane sighed slowly, looking at me with sympathy "I'm not even allowed to... tell them how I really feel because they confuse my opening up as if I'm going to get angry and they avoid my chic flick moments. I wouldn't be angry if it weren't for..." I stopped abruptly, not wanting to admit yet that indeed my father was the one to cause my anger issues "I hate being angry all the time" I said finally admitting what Shane wanted me to. "I have anger problems and I hate it and ironically that makes me angry. I want it to stop"
I didn't cry more, only the few silent tears falling down my cheeks "How do you feel now Lexi?" Shane asked me softly, giving me a few moments to recover
"Honestly" I said laughing slightly "I feel like... A blossom flower with no fucking problems bothering me"
