Response Time: To TheIndividualist, your wish is my command! To mattTheWriter072, I made each one have normal responses to grief. Mike has anger, Violet has melancholy, Veruca blocks out herself, and Augustus is feeling the initial trauma. To Sonny April, I like the character, I don't like his flaws, though. But it is an angle I like to use. To TheFastFox, I understand your point, but I still am a writer. Whether there's bad words or not shouldn't change the view. I feel it is best if I don't censor myself. Now, I'm not saying I'm going to cuss every 4 words. What I am saying is, I am setting a mood of a story, and I think the amount I have used is fine. I do hope you understand. To JOHNHAMMOND1993, I guess I could do that. Oh, and the answer is ice. To Linkwonka88, I never liked Bellatrix Lestrange. She killed so many likable people. I thought her getting her ass beat by Molly Weasley was awesome. Now to the next session!
Chapter 10: Never Again
"So now that you know the truth, what do you say is the end to your story?"
Augustus replied, "When I came into ze boiler, an Oompa-Loompa pulled me out with a long stick. I'd be dead if it wasn't for zat. Mein mother stood there and stared at me. She had no words for me. We waited until it was time to leave. When I saw what happened to ze others, I couldn't believe my eyes. Zhey were way worse off than me. I didn't believe how much zhey changed, and how miserable zhey looked. I could only see it on zhe inside, because zhey didn't even try to accept what happened to zem."
Dr. Franklin told him, "You seem to have gotten off topic. You seem more focused on them than yourself."
Augustus told him, "I started eating ze chocolate off me to distract myself. My mother told me to stop. But she was zhe one who got me to do zat in ze first place. I was happy with myself, until my life turned me into a fat pig. I know I'm responsible for my own choices."
Dr. Franklin told him, "Now hold on. Most children who eat themselves into obesity do it for their own choices. You ate because your family slaughtered your own companion and fed him to you. Something is in your head and it needs to be quelled."
"But what is it?"
Dr. Franklin replied, "I don't exactly know myself." He looked down and thought about it. Maybe you're just not qualified for the job. Why are you even here? He looked around and asked Augustus, "Did you say something?" Augustus was confused. He simply shrugged his shoulders in response. "I guess it was just nothing. The events of your parents breaking your trust and killing something you cared about induced a psychological trauma into your mind. It spoke to you, didn't it?" Augustus nodded to the question. "I see. That's the situation. It is a voice in your head. All you have is something in your mind messing with you. That's all it is. Now, I have a medication I'd like you to try. Things will get better when you try it. I'll prescribe you right away."
Augustus looked at him and said, "I'm not so sure. You really think it'll help me?"
Dr. Franklin told him, "I think you and I have had a similar experience. Not the same one, mind you. I'd like you to call me in a couple of days. You should have the medicine by nightfall and take it before sleeping. Things will be weird for a little bit, but it should help you through your situation. Try to help yourself through it as well. I can only hope things will work out for you." He shook Augustus' hand and waved as Augustus left his office. He sat down and thought about what he heard before.
That's the chapter! Next up is Veruca's last session. I'd say there is at least 5 chapters left. Take care, everyone!
