Chapter 156- Hardin's Tears
ARIANA'S POV
I felt refreshed talking to my therapist but that didn't mean the problem wasn't still there, I just found calm for a moment.
I walked out of her house with her walking beside me.
“ You came with someone?" she said as her eyes went to Hardin who was in the car busy on his tab.
“ Yeah, he's my assistant," I said and she hummed,
“ It's new, you never come here with anyone not even a driver," she said,
“ I trust him," I said with a smile and she nodded,... “ See you on our next meeting then," I said as I hugged her before walking back to the car.
I opened the door and got in.
“ You're back, how did it go?" Hardin asked as I fastened my seatbelt,
“ Better than I expected," I said as he started the car and drove out off.
“ I don't know why but I feel better talking to her each time, how do they do this? They're human like us but it's like they have a special power of taking your troubles away," I said as I used my hands to demonstrate,
“ That's why they're called therapist, some people are naturally born for it while some people learn how to do it,” Hardin said,
" She's the best though, I had other therapists, they find care about me, all they wanted was my money and the title of being the Miller's therapist,” I said,
“ I'm glad you found someone like her," he said as he had his eyes on the road, I couldn't help but notice the way he was clenching and unclenching his fist on the steering wheel.
“ Are you okay Hardin?" I asked and he turned to me and I was surprised to find out that his eyes were glossy like there were tears in them.
“ Yeah, yeah, I'm fine, don be I look fine?" he asked with a laugh trying to hide behind his laugh,
“ Are you sure, you don't look okay,” I said but she shook his head as he sniffed,
" Hardin?”
" I said I'm fine!” He snapped and I gasped as I looked at him in shock,
" I'm sorry, I'm sorry,” he said as he stopped the car on the side of the road,
“ It's okay I didn't mean to upset you," I apologized,
" I'm so sorry for snapping, I didn't mean to," he said,
“ No, it's my fault, I shouldn't have pressured you when you said you were okay, I'm sorry, forgive me,” I said and he sighed,
“ It's okay," he said as he started the car and continued driving, this time the car ride was tense.
I wonder what happened that got him that way.
We didn't say anything again until we reached the office.

HARDIN'S POV
I just can't believe what I did back there, I just snapped at someone who came from seeing her therapist.
Maybe I'll become the next therapy topic. I felt like a total asshole.
I'd have to look for a way to properly apologize to her.
We got into the elevator as I pressed the button for our floor as we quietly waited to reach her floor.
Her phone started ringing and she picked the call.
“ Sasha?" she said,
“ Yeah, have you done it?" she asked,
“ Are you sure you hid it somewhere she wouldn't see?" she asked,
“ Oh, okay thank you very much, thank you for your concern,...oh okay when I get home," she said,
“ I just hope I find out what it is that is going on so I can finally rest, you have no idea how this bothers me," she said with a sigh,... “ Hopefully, thank you so much, I'll see you later, have a nice day…. okay, bye,” she said before she ended the call and put the phone in her bag.
I'd like to know what that was all about but I dare not ask not after what I've done.
The elevator reached our floor and it opened as we both walked out of the elevator. She quietly walked to her office as I walked to mine.
I groaned as I ran my fingers through my hair and sat down in frustration. I was having so many feelings going through me all at once.
I got really emotional when I was thinking about my family I might possibly have or may not have and I couldn't help but imagine having a Mom, a father and maybe siblings.
It made me feel things I couldn't describe, the only people that made me felt like I was welcomed was my little orphanage family.
They were all I have, but the thought of having another family outside them made, a real family just made and indescribable feeling go through me. It wasn't like they weren't real family. It's just…I sighed as I took m tab and walked out of my office.
I knocked on her door and heard her voice telling me to come in.
“ Hardin," she said with a smile and I felt my heart clench because of my attitude earlier,
“ I'm sorry about…”
" It's okay stop apologizing, we all have moments when we're not feeling like ourselves, you're human Hardin, know that,” she said and I nodded but still didn't feel good about myself,
“ There's something I'd like to tell you," I said and she turned her attention to me,
" What is it?” she asked,
" This is a little complicated but I have to tell you,” I said,
" What is it? You have that look on your face again,” she said,
" So the thing is I've finally found where the emerald eye is but the problem is I don't know how to get it back,”
