I was looking at Marks file when Phill got in my office.
"Who would of guessed you are going to be one of us." he said and smirked.
"Well, here I am." I just continued looking at the files.
"Look, Genet was looking for you, it's about her kid." I finally looked up.
"Riven? What about him?"
"I don't know." he said and walked away. Ugh. I started walking while still looking at the files.
"He has Atelophobia..." I whispered into my chin. I had a patient with it once. He was so scared to do anything, thinking it won't be perfect. He was anxious of his body, of his words. everything. And I never got to him. Before I could, his parents decided to change the shrinks, thinking I was too young. So I was determined to do it this time. To help this guy. To change his life. Like Ethan did with mine.
"I'm going to help you." I whispered again and I bumped into someone. I dragged my look from the paper to the teen in front of me.
"Oh, sorry dude." I said as I picked up the papers from the floor.
"Why don't you start looking where are you going, man!?" he started arguing. My phone rang at that moment.
"Wait." I said as I showed him to wait a minute and picked up.
"What is it Michelle?" I asked and the guy in front of me sighed.
"Oh, I was just wondering how did you like our play date last night?" ... our what now?
"Yesterday I was eating cold pizza and watching American Horror Story. What the fuck are you talking about?"
"Oh, if you don't know what we did, ask your girlfriend. I mean, ex one. And check the messages I sent you." she hung up. So she had something to do with all that mess, I though. Of-course. I looked at the messages and saw a picture from her. It was a screen shot.
'Hey babe,got home safe?'
'Um, I'm sorry, who is this?'
'Very cute, babe. You know it's Michelle.'
'Um, this is Flora you're texting with...'
'Who? Okay never mind, just tell Helia I had fun today and that I'm coming to his house at 9 so we can have our little play date again'
What the fuck?!
"Look you little idiot, just look where are you going next time." the dude said and walked past me while intentionally pushing me with his shoulder.
"Listen you." I said and pulled him by his hoodie. He turned to me.
"Don't talk to me like that. Not today, not ever." I said as I let go of him.
"And who are you to stop me?" he said and pushed my chest away.
"Don't start that kind of fight with me." my tone was changing from calm to angry really fast.
"Or what? You'll run away to your shrink and tell him?!" he said and did the same thing again.
"Now listen you ass!" I said and pushed him to the wall. I was about a head taller then him.
"I AM the shrink in here. And stop with your attitude or I will punch you!"
"Let's see if you really will, little Power Puff Girl." I raised my fist in the air and I was ready to punch him, but I heard someones footsteps coming closer.
"Louis?!" a guy said and ran over to us. It was the guy from the files I had. It was Mark, my patient...
"Please let him go!" he said and started shaking. I sighed and stepped away from the guy who was irritating me.
"I'm sorry, it's just not my day." I said and Mark nodded. He moved his dark blue bangs from his dark eyes.
"Look dude. If you ever do punch me, I'm gonna tell everyone and I'm gonna get your ass fired." the other one, with light brown hair to his yaw line said.
"Don't think you can control me." I said, he rolled his eyes and they walked away... Just great Helia. You almost got fired, I though... But the worst thing is, I almost snapped at that guy... am I... really ready to be a shrink? ... Are my anger issues gone? ...Or... To distract me from thinking about it, I coninued walking over to Genet and called Flora again.
"What?!" she answered.
"Flora, I just talked to Michelle, you gotta know it was all lies." I said as I slowly opened the doors of Genets office.
"How do I trust you?" she asked and I didn't answer. I was too busy looking what happened in Genets office.
"Oh my god, Flora, I love you, but I'll have to call you back." I said and hung up. There she was, Genet, sitting in her usual seat... but in front of her... 5 people... Riven, and both of his families.
"Oh my."
