"You can start working tomorrow. Today, just unpack and settle in. If you ever decide to stay here for a few days, you can have your old room back." Ethan said and I nodded.
"When can I be in my old room? I mean, do I have some restrictions or?" I asked and he shook his head.
"You can stay for as long as you like. When you meet the boss, he will tell you you can stay in a month per year. But in reality, you can just say your patient is unstable and you need to stay with him." he said and I grinned.
"Is that what you did?" he just grinned back at me and walked up to his table, then sat down.
"Look, I need to explain a lot of thing to you. So sit down." I did what he told me.
"First. You don't chose your patients. The boss figures out which psychologists is for a patient. So when it's a patients first day, don't try anything. Don't ask the boss to give you the patient. He knows what to do. Alright?"
"Yes." I said as I though. Everything he said was true. I had anger issues and they gave me Ethan, who was calm so when I acted up and when I expected a reaction, he gave me none. Flora, who was shy and scared, was paired up with Miranda, who was kind and nice to her, so she made her feel relaxed. Same goes for Mell. Tecna was unstable and she was believing in her own world. But Mell would be the one to yell and scream, and get her to reason. Huh. Everything was a perfect plan.
"Next. You don't have breakfast with the patient. Never." I was confused why was that important but I just nodded.
"Then. You will have a special time when you will have the meetings with your patient. Every day will be the same time. Never be late."
"Alright."
"Also. Your patient may need you at any time of a day. And never make the patient wait for you. You don't know what will they do."
"Alright." I said again and nodded.
"That is all for now. Go to your room, unpack, and then get back here. We need to make some calls with your ex boss and his company." I nodded and left his office. This is so amazing, I though as I was walking up the stairs. Ethan was now my college, Flora was my girlfriend again, I had all my friends again, I had a house and I could live in my work place too. It was so amazing. As I opened the doors, I looked at my old room.
"Home sweet home." I said as I sat down on my bed. I started unpacking the things I though should stay in there, and my phone rang again. It was Michelle. I ignored it and as soon as I finished unpacking, I went to the town to meet up with Ethan again. We called Josh who was my ex boss, and talked to him about me changing jobs. Ethan said that Josh would probably need to call me one again that day, and that I should be careful not to miss the call. After that, I met up with Flora. We decided to go to the 'Haunted House'. Yes, the one with the broken windows and everything. We sat down on the 3rd floor, next to the window, and we started talking.
"I never got to hear your story." I said and she looked at me confused.
"What do you mean?" she took my hands in hers.
"The story of what have you been up to for the last two years?"
"Oh, that." she said and giggled.
"Well, I continued living with my mom till about 6 months ago. I got my apartment and I love it, even if sometimes I felt lonely. So I got a pet."
"Hm, let me guess. A cat?"
"You guessed it. So after I got him, I felt a lot better. I named him Punchy."
"Punchy?" I asked and smirked.
"Yeah, yeah, I missed you so I named a cat after your problem with anger, deal with it." she said with a small smile while rolling her eyes. I kissed her and she giggled.
"So um, I got a job in this beautiful Flower shop. Blooms mom is the owner, actually."
"Really?"
"Yeah, I was really happy. And still am. The only thing that was missing was you." she smiled.
"Well, I wish I could be that romantic and say the same, but with me, in my life... I was missing everything!" she giggled and my phone rang again. It was Michelle again.
"I'm so sorry, she has been calling me all day, I cant take it anymore." I said, she nodded and I answered.
"What is it?!"
"YOU IDIOT I have been calling you about your old job, stupid." I facepalmed in my head. Shit. I forgot she could be calling about that.
"Yeah, I'm listening."
"Look, Josh ju..."
"... Josh ju what?" I asked and there was no response. I looked at my phone and realized the battery was empty.
"Shit, Flora, can I please borrow your phone? It's about my old job and my old boss and my phone just died." she smiled, nodded and gave me he phone. I typed the numbers in and Michelle picked up.
"Hello?" she answered annoyed.
"It's Helia again, look..."
"Why did you just hung up? I was telling you about Josh."
"I didn't, my battery died, I'm calling you from my girlfriends phone." I was hoping that would make her give up or something.
"Hm, girlfriend you say... Anyway, Josh said he has some of your files here. You need to pick them up as soon as possible."
"Alright, I'll come tonight."
"He is in the office for the next 2 hours. Hurry up." she said and hung up. I gave the phone back to Flora an sighed.
"I'm sorry, I need to go get some stuff from my old job." she nodded and I stood up.
"I'll stay here a bit. It peaceful. After that I'll go home. See you tomorrow then?" she asked while standing up.
"Of course." I kissed her and got out of the Haunted House. I got in my car and started driving. I was sure Michelle gave up on that love idea... but...
