For the next couple of weeks Mala and Chris studies the steps of learning how to let go of the past.
After those weeks had passed, Mrs. Atkins is going to talk to Chris more about his bad behavior of having out bursts when things irritates him and he lashes out on his anger so violently that he puts someone in the hospital in this next session.
"So Chris, I will be asking you questions today and give you information on helping you to control your anger, but I still want Mala in the room with you to understand your experiences and to listen to your story, are you okay with her being in here?" Mrs. Atkins asked.
"Sure," he said.
"Okay can you explain to me what made you so angry to send someone to the emergency room?" She asked.
"Because he kissed me, and I don't like that," he said.
"Because he kissed you?" She asked.
"Yeah, as a straight guy I don't like that, so I punched him to teach him a lesson to never do that again," he said.
"You think you taught him a lesson?" She asked.
"Yeah I know so," he said.
"Sending someone to the emergency room is not the way of teaching someone a lesson, that is no lesson, because the boy you punched several times in the stomach, that becomes a bigger problem when he either press charges against you or even go after you..." She informs.
"What do you mean go after?" He asked.
"Someone getting beaten and ends up in the hospital will make that person seek revenge on you by getting even for what you did to them, so you telling me is that teaching someone a lesson to not mess with you again Chris?" She asked.
"No but he didn't come after me nor pressed any charges," he said.
"I know, and that's because your girlfriend Mala communicated with him in comfort," she said.
"And me and Jake seem to be getting alone now just fine," Mala said.
"Exactly, and if he wasn't talking to Mala, he would have taken his revenge, but always keep in mind Chris, hurting someone physically is not a way of teaching them a lesson, it will only make the situation much worse, and I've seen your school record as well, that wasn't your first fight," she informs.
"Chris you never told me you got into more FIGHTS, WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME THAT?" Mala asked, yelling at Chris for what she just heard.
