Beth POV
I was with mom and Luca. We were with my aunt Santana. Mom didn't make me dress nicely she said it was just me and the psychologist. I hate this. I hate them.
"I don't want to," I said as we walked towards the building.
"I know you don't sweetie, but you have too. I'm sorry," mom said and Aunt Santana looked at me. I remember what she said the other day. I can plead the fifth; she was joking though.
"You'll be fine, kiddo. Plus I'll take you to get frozen yogurt after this," Aunt Santana said. I nodded and we continued to walk inside. We waited in the room until someone opened a door and said my name.
"Elizabeth Berry," the woman said. My mom stood up and I stood up with her. I stuck to her side as she followed the woman. We entered a room and I shook as I sat next to mom.
"It's going to be okay Beth. Calm down sweetie," Mom whispered. She opened her purse and took out my inhaler. She gave it to me and I used it. The door opened and a woman with black hair and blue eyes came in. She had pale skin and she smiled when she saw me.
"Hello, I'm Rebecca Danvers," she said.
"Rachel Berry," Mom said and shook the woman's hand. "And this is Elizabeth." The woman nodded looking at me. Mom turned around and bent down. She ran a hand through my hair.
"I'm going to be right down the hall with Aunt Santana and Luca okay. Just breathe and you'll be fine," mom said re-assuring me. She stood up and left. I looked at the door waiting for it to open again.
"Elizabeth," I turned my head and looked at the woman. I ignored her. I just started to look around the room. There were some toys. A desk at one side a couch and a single seat couch. I was on the couch and Mrs. Danvers was on the single. "Elizabeth, I know you're scared but nothing bad will happen. We're just going to talk." I looked at her. "How about we start with no or yes questions?" She said and I just shrugged. She was already righting things down.
"Your birthday is on May 8th," she said and I nodded.
"You attend The Diller Academy?" She said and I nodded.
"You used to go to P.S 123 Art School," she said and I nodded.
"What's your full name?" She asked. I looked at her and sighed.
"Elizabeth Shay Berry," I said and she nodded.
"Do you miss your mom?" She asked.
"My grandmamma, I miss her, she was always sick so I stayed with my mom," I said and she looked at me.
"Wasn't Shelby your mom?" She asked.
"Yeah, and Rachel was my sister. But my mom got sick and kept going away so I stayed with Rachel and she became my mom too. Then I started to call my mom grandmamma and Rachel mom. Then Grandmamma died and Rachel was my mom," I tried to explain and she nodded.
"You learned sign language when you where around five and a half?" She asked and I nodded.
"Elizabeth, what's a normal day like at home?" She asked me.
"Well, mom wakes me up. I get dressed, eat breakfast, and brush my teeth. Mom helps me with my hair; I get my school stuff and put it in my backpack. Mom then drives me to school. She walks with me to the front and then leaves after giving me a hug. I then go to school. After school my mom picks me up. I do my homework and mom or Luca make me a snack. They also help me if I need it. When I'm done I get to play with my games or outside. Sometimes mom or Luca play soccer with me. But it's usually Luca because Mom makes dinner. Then we eat. After I take a shower, brush my teeth changes into my pj's and watch some TV with mom and Luca like Disney channel, ABC, or a movie. Then I go to sleep at nine," I said. She nodded and wrote things down.
"Okay. In new York did you ever have a nanny?" She asked me and I shook my head.
"Mom said she'd never have a nanny for her kids. I was either with her or the other kids at the Broadway daycare. It was fun; it's where I met my best friend Kamryn. We also went to the same school," I said.
"Did you get mad when you moved here?" She asked and I shook my head. "Why not?"
"Because we were always going to move back. I don't remember living here but mom shows me places grandmamma took me. Grandmamma used to talk about Lima a lot."
"Have you met Quinn and Noah?"
"Yes, I don't like them," I said she wrote more stuff down.
"Why not?"
"Because they're ruining everything. I'm happy with my mom and Luca. Luca is going to be my dad and he's the best dude in the world and my mom is the best mom in the world. I'm happy where I am. I don't want them! I hate them!"
"Okay, let's take deep breathes," she said and I nodded.
"Let's go back to sign language," she said and I nodded.
"Why did you learn sign language?" She asked.
"Because I didn't talk," I said feeling uncomfortable.
"Why didn't you talk?" She asked seeming more interested. I took a puzzle she had and started to play with it. I started to ignore her again. "Elizabeth," she said and I ignored her, "Elizabeth, why did you stop talking, just now?" She asked. I looked up from the puzzle.
"Because I don't want to talk about it," I said with a 'duh' tone. I looked down at the puzzle and started to do it.
"Did something happen with your mom?" She asked. I dropped the puzzle and looked at her shocked.
" No!" I yelled, "My mom didn't do anything! It was him it was all him! It was Quinn's mom and dad that did everything. It's all there fault! It's all there fault! I didn't do anything! It's their entire fault! It's all there fault!" I kept yelling. I heard my mom yell my name and the door opened.
"Elizabeth what happened?" She asked.
"It wasn't my fault! I didn't do anything! I didn't do anything!" I yelled. The door opened I saw mom and ran to her. "I didn't do anything!" I yelled my mom rubbed my back.
"Of course you didn't. You didn't do anything," mom said, "you did nothing wrong. None of it was your fault."
I could hear Aunt Santana yelling. There was arguing and I saw Luca. He looked really sad.
"You're innocent Beth. You did nothing," he said and he hugged me and my mom.
"This evaluation is over!" I heard Aunt Santana yell. Mom was still caring me as I cried and she walked out with Luca and Aunt Santana.
We walked for a while. Mom put me down and I walked next to her. My crying turned to small little shakes of breathing, bit that was it.
"Where are we going?" I asked. Mom looked at me and rubbed my right shoulder. We turned and I saw where we were.
"Aunt Santana never backs out on things she says," Aunt Santana said and we entered the ice cream parlor.
"what do you want kiddo?" Aunt Santana asked me. I looked and I saw the one I wanted.
"Dutch chocolate marble," I said and she nodded. It was Dutch chocolate with chocolate syrup in it. Aunt Santana got me two scoops because I was brave. Mom, Luca, and Aunt Santana also got ice cream. We sat down and ate it.
I was midway through my ice cream when I needed to go to the bathroom. I was done crying and shaking. I was fine now. As long as I didn't have to go back or talk about it I'd be okay. Aunt Santana let me out of the booth and told me the bathroom was down the hall. Mom wanted to go with me but I insisted I was a big girl. I walked to the far right of the parlor. Down the hall was a back entrance. I went down the hall and turned left. I used the bathroom, washed my hands and all. I was next to the back entrance when I bumped into someone because I wasn't paying attention.
"Sorry," I said and turned down the hall.
"Beth," I turned around. It was Quinn and Noah. "Beth what are you doing here?" Quinn asked. I started to shake a bit and shook my head. "Beth sweetie what's wrong?" Quinn asked worriedly. "Beth calm down, please no one is going to hurt you."
"Ahhh!" I screamed, turned around and ran. I collided with someone. I fell down and looked up. Luca. He picked me up and I cried out of fear. My mom rushed to me as did Aunt Santana.
"Is she okay?" I hear Noah ask.
"What does it look like," aunt Santana stated angrily.
"I just asked her what she was doing here. She then just started to panic I -I tried to get her to calm down, but she wouldn't," I hear Quinn say frantically and worriedly.
"You're the cause of this...good job you made her cry twice in one day," aunt Santana said.
"You forced her into a psych evaluation where she got scared and cried," my mom said angrily. "We should go. Come on Santana, call Brittany and I'll cook dinner."
"Fine," Aunt Santana said. We were out of the parlor and I saw Aunt Santana grin. "You should have let me punch her, I would have too if you didn't offer me dinner if I walked away." I smiled and walked with them. Aunt S came in our car so she rode with us. When we got home Aunt B was there. She hugged me and we walked inside.
My mom told Aunt B everything that had happened. Aunt B said something about Quinn and how she tried to make Grandmamma look bad in high school so she could get me back. I was playing soccer outside with Aunt B while Luca, My mom, and Aunt Santana talked inside. Mom was cooking too. She's making lemon rosemary chicken, rice, and a spinach salad. I know this because it's what she makes every time Aunt B and Aunt S come over.
We ate silently. Every now and then we talked, but for the most part it was silent. When I was done I brushed my teeth, took a shower, and changed. Mom let me watch TV in her room. I watched TV for a bit before going to my room and drawing. I just drew. There was black, yellow, and red. Those are the only colors I needed. When I was done I threw the pictures in the garbage so mom and Luca wouldn't see. I then got into bed, sighed, took a few deep breathes and fell asleep
