"August is majoring in psychology, he wants to become a therapist. It'll work out fine".

"Look Adda I get you're self-reliant and all but-". I said cutting him off, "Noo!". Ash pushed me into his lounge area where Auggie was sitting. He was really in the role of a therapist. Ash forced me to sit down gently, on the couch and I huffed. I'm still in a lot of pain so he's trying to be gentle.

I said, "Why are you making me do this?". Ash sighed and said, "Let's be honest, you're not mentally stable. You need help and Auggie needs practice. This is a win-win situation". I crossed my arms and Ash walked out of the lounge.

Auggie looked at me nervously and said, "So, why are you in therapy?". I shrugged and said, "A lot of things, I mean I murdered someone, got kidnapped, I was about to die, I found out my parents hid me having siblings, Jay almost died twice, I'm in a not so private relationship, Also I struggle from being in the public eye all the time". Auggie started writing, what is he writing? Kidnapped victim, murderer lol, near death experiences, long lost siblings, friend almost died, public relationship, in the public eye in general. Did he put lol next to me killing someone? I laughed to myself, and he looked back at me. He said, "why'd you stop?".

I sighed and said, "Well, that's it". Auggie sighed and said, "You see how minimum your problems sound when you list them out. Well at least to you, these are serious things going on in your life". I leaned back in my chair and said, "Well, my problems are my fault". Auggie sat straighter and said, "Do you think, you not knowing your siblings is your fault?".

I furrowed my brows and thought about it, I said, "Well, to a certain extent, yeah. My parents were scared to tell me because I pushed them away when they wouldn't let me see Ash. Something stupid like that made my mom scared to tell me about people who are related to me. I always felt like someone was supposed to be with me, you know?". Auggie looked at me sincerely and said, "you blame yourself a lot, why do you do that?".

I shrugged and said, "One day I won't have anyone else to blame. I do it because I'm the one who makes the mistakes". Auggie said, "Adda everyone makes mistakes. It's great that yourself reliant but, you have all these people including me and Ace ready to help you. You're not alone".

I put my face in my hands and said, "Then why do I feel so alone, ALWAYS!". Auggie flinched, I felt tears threatening to come out of my eyes. I continued, "I know it's unrealistic for people to never keep secrets from me, I know it's unrealistic for people to never lie to me but, I feel like nobody is ever really there. My parents are never home and to a certain extent I'm mad at them for it. I wish my mom struggled to raise the twins so when they leave the house every day, I had someone to spend time with. Maybe that's why I'm so self-reliant because really nobody was there all the time to raise me. Maybe that's why I blame myself because nobody else was there to blame".

August looked down and started writing some more, I'm not even interested in knowing about what. August said, "You feel alone even though you surround yourself with some many people. Do you feel like you're not one hundred percent yourself with people? Do you feel like nobody knows you?". I nodded and Auggie said, "Same sis". We both started laughing and Auggie grabbed a tissue and gave it to me.

I blew my nose and said, "I feel like the real reason I disappeared for those three months is because I was getting tired of myself and everyone else. I was mad because I couldn't go to college. I feel like I can't be mad at my mom for hiding one of the major people in my life from me because I know she's meeting her kids for the first time ever. Ash and I still aren't a hundred percent, and we don't spend that much time together. I feel like I can't complain because I do it so much I just- I just miss the old days, you know?".

Auggie wrote something down and said, "I know, everyone is grown and doing their own thing. You were just left behind. You need to really work on your relationships and yourself". It was silent for about a minute until August continued, "I noticed that you play off that you're really silly and you say everything that comes to mind but, you don't talk about what you want to say. You don't say what you want to, I think you should come back tomorrow around three o clock. We should go more in depth".

I smiled and nodded; I could tell Auggie wanted to give me a hug, so I spread my arms out. He patted my head and said, "This is Auggie now not Dr. August Winter". I lifted my head up and said, "You last name is Winter?". He nodded and said, "Yeah, you didn't know that?". I laughed and said, "Your parents did you so dirty with that". August said, "Anyway, you know if you can't talk to anyone else, I AM HERE! Okay". I replied, "Okay All might".

Meanwhile

"Babe, what's that over there?". The guy turned around and said, "It looks like a dead body! RUN NOW!". Avery opened his eyes and got up he said, "Son of turkey that hurt like a fart, good thing I did that resurrection thingy before I died". The guy ran after his girlfriend and said, "He was alive you don't have to call the police; I think he was homeless. Your fine now". He said as he comforted her, He continued, "It's over". Avery walked behind them and said, "No it isn't test subject number twenty-two and three".
