Chapter 23

"I don't want to go." I whined.

"To school or therapy?"

"Booooottthhhh!"

Ian kissed my forehead. "You have to go to both."

"What happened to the exorcist idea?" I pouted.

"What?" he raised an eyebrow at me.

"You said, 'I don't know what goes on in your head, but when we get to my house we're calling a fucking exorcist or something!'"

Ian sighed. "I'm sorry."

Me: Confused "For lying?"

He smirked. "No." he hugs me. "For saying that."

"Oh. It didn't hurt me."

He gave me a whateveryoucrazylyingbitch look.

"What?" I asked.

"And that-" he taps my nose with his finger. "Is why you are going to therapy."

Me: Rolls eyes

"I'd like you to start keeping a journal or a diary." Dr. Bloome said as we walked out the door.

"Why?" I spotted Ian in the corner of my eye and restrained myself (yet again) from running and hugging him tight like a little girl.

"I think it will help you get your thoughts and feelings out."

"O…kay."

"Good session today, Jessica."

As soon as he turns away, I turn to Ian and put my fingers to my head like a gun and pretend to shoot myself, rolling my eyes. Ian just laughs like he thinks I'm freaking kidding.

30 Minutes Later

"I said NO!"

"Jess-"

"NO!"

Ian sighs. "We already went through this."

"No."

"You have to go to-"

"No."

"And I-"

"No."

"Now you're just being-"

"No." I grin.

We were parked in front of the High School at lunchtime, and people were outside in the fenced in area on the side of the building. I could see them. It terrified me.

"Come on."

"Fine, but you have to keep a safe distance."

"That's my girl."

Grrrr…

Me: Smacks Ian's arm

"Ow!"

"Ha." I get out of the car.

I am wearing my red shirt that Ian got me a few weeks ago that says, "I put the CUTE in EXECUTE." I was going to wear the one that says, "You can't spell slaughter without laughter," but I almost got suspended one day for wearing it. I thought the shrink would like that one, though. Pout.

"But Tracy's not here."

"So?"

"I won't be protected."

"What did she do?"

"Tell people to fuck off."

"Uh…never mind. I don't think I can do that."

"I would love you forever if you did." I mumbled.

I sighed. Time for School.

Ha. Hell BEFORE Purgatory.
