"There's something inside me... and I don't know what it is"
In an office room, sat a young girl on a brown leather couch, across from her, a woman sat on grey and black office chairs. Behind her was a brown wooden desk, with two shelves on both sides, and the room was painted a light grey, the carpet was black, and in between the two was a black coffee table and on the walls hung a single painting of a shadowy woman in a snowy and empty city and her footprints were seen in the snow, trailing behind her.
Polly Pain, a 15-year-old middle school girl, who wore a yellow longsleeved shirt with a pair of Purple jean shorts, she'd wore dark pink shoes with black laces with a pair of white socks, and she had a dark pink sweater tied around her waits. Her hair was dark brown and it was close to being shoulder length and her eyes were a stunning hazel, that when the light seemed to shine on them, they brightened in color. Across from her was her therapist, Docter Oliva Dim, a woman at the age of 27, she had long bright orange hair that touched her back and dark green eyes, she wore a light grey shirt with a pair of black skintight pants and black dress shoes.
"Explain, Polly" Doctor Dim told her
Polly looked to Doctor Dim, her face showing little emotion, "What I see, nobody else sees and that scares the hell out of me" Polly said "I sometimes think that I'm losing my mind, or I'm going crazy"
"What are you trying to say, Polly?" Doctor Dim asked
"What I'm trying to say is that there's this... hole on me... this empty feeling, it makes me feel cold, and sad, and alone" Polly responded, "And I'm the only one that sees it and no one else can, and it scares me because I think that maybe I'm going crazy, that my feelings are betraying me, but..."
"But what Polly?"
"But the feeling, it still there," Polly told her "I wake up every morning and it's still there... this empty feeling," Polly said
Doctor Dim nodded, "Do you feel this way a lot Polly?" Doctor Dim asked
"No" Polly replied
"When do you feel this way?" Doctor dim asked
Polly sighed, "I feel this way when I'm alone in my room, or when I just walk the park alone... and the more I'm alone, the more this feeling grows," Polly said
"Have you been feeling alone these last couple of months?" Doctor Dim asked
Polly nodded, "Yes" Polly replied "Ever since I quit sports, my friends don't hang around me as much as they used to... I rarely see them"
"And why did you quit sports, Polly?"
"Sports just... didn't give me the same thrill as it used to" Polly replied "it's just become... mundane"
Doctor dim nodded, "I think you're feeling extremely lonely, Polly, a part of you is now gone and you feel alone without it," Doctor Dim told her "As you said, there's this hole in you and you don't know how to fill it"
"Is there a way to fill it?" Polly asked, almost begging
Doctor Dim smiled softly at Polly, "Find something else that fills this hole, try new things, it doesn't have to be sports, Polly, it could be Video games, Chess, Drawing, Painting, writing, even watching a new show, I don't know what exactly will fill this hole, and that's what you need to find out"
Polly looked at Doctor Dim for a moment before shifting her eye to the black carpet, she closed her eyes and took a deep breath before exhaling and nodding, "I understand" She said "Thank you Doctor Dim"
Doctor Dim smiled softly, "No need to thank me, I'm here to help you through anything, Polly" Doctor Dim said, she then felt her phone buzz and saw that it was the time that Polly's sessions usually ended, "Well, as Much as I hate to say it already, but our time's up, I'll see you in April Polly"
Polly smiled a little, "See you then Doctor Dim" Polly said
Polly got up and she walked to the door, opened it, and left the office. She walked down the hall, which painted the boring color of white and there was no carpet, but there was white tile instead. The hallway seemed completely devoid of life. When you walked down it and it was just you, you could hear every step you took as the sound of your shoes echoed in the seemingly dead silent hallway.
However, Polly did not have to spend much time walking down said hallway for long, after a minute or two she was back in the waiting room and her mother and father were there waiting for her, once they saw her they got up and smiled since the next appointment with Doctor Dim was already scheduled, they left the building and headed to the car.
Polly's mother was a 33-year-old woman with short black hair, hazel eyes, and pale skin. She wore a white tank top under a yellow jacket, with a pair of pink sweat pants and yellow and white shoes. She was a kind woman and a bit of a sports fanatic, but she never pushed such a thing on her daughter, Her mother was always supportive of Polly no matter what. She worked as a trainer at the local gym
Polly's father was a 35-year-old man with long brown hair, dark blue eyes, and light tan skin. He wore a black shirt under a long-sleeved blue jean jacket, a pair of dark blue jeans, and brown boots. He was a very generous and helpful person, always there when he was needed, he was hard working too.
They got in the car and began the drive home. Their car was a blue 2012 Honda Civic, the inside was kept mostly clean, there were a few wrappers of candy in the back doors and a few stains from soda or food on the seats as well, the seats also had a few dog hairs on them, due to the Pain's owning a Shih Tzu named Max. Which was of course still at home. As they drove, Polly looked out the window, the sky was a dull gray thanks to the clouds.
'It's gonna rain' Polly told herself
She looked once more, this time looking to the side of the road. There she saw People spending time with others, people talking about their day or some story that happened to them. One pair of people caught her attention, a couple sitting on the bench, leaning on each other, smiling and holding hands. Polly looked at them and wondered if something like that could fill the hole in her, maybe something like that could make her not feel so alone anymore
For Polly... to be alone with herself was the worse thing in the world to her.
