Laura: I got up the next morning went to get ready and make breakfast. I really wasn't hungry so I made myself some toast. I went to the living room to wake Kit but he wasn't there. I frantically looked around the house calling him. He comes out of the bathroom looking scared. I look at him worried and ask what's wrong. He tells me while using the bathroom he noticed his blade on the floor still with dried blood and was afraid he would use it again. I rush into the bathroom find it and hide it. I run out and tell Kit to hurry and get ready and I would make his breakfast up so we won't be late for his appointment. He tells me just a bowl of cereal and runs to get ready.When he comes out he is ready in jeans and a long sleeve shirt. I ask why the long sleeve shirt because its hot out. He tells me he doesn't want anyone to see his scars. I told him Ok but the doctor might want to see them. He says her and the Dr. is fine but if anyone else is there he doesn't want them to. They silently hold onto each other and head out.

Laura and Kit pull up to the house where Dr. Harmon lives and works. Kit says to his sister are you sure he is good since he works out of his house. She turns to him smiling and says funny. Then turns back and knocks. A young woman answers the door and says I'm Mrs. Harmon. You must be Laura and Kit. She leads them into the waiting area near her husbands office and tells them he should be with them any minute. She says she has to head out to pick up their girls though from school and asks them if they need a drink first. When they both say no thanks she heads out. A few minutes later a girl come out of the office. She says the Dr. will be with them in a minute. She sits waiting to be picked up and leans to introduce herself as Lily. Kit looks at her and says my name is Kit and this is my older sister Laura. A few minutes Later Dr. Harmon comes out of his office and calls Kit in.
*skip session and car ride home*
Laura: We just got back from Kit's first appointment with Dr. Harmon. He has been diagnosed with severe depression and suicidal tendencies which to me is extremely scary. He has been put on meds though to hopefully help. I have to pick up his prescription but considering last time and his diagnosis I called our neighbor to stay with him while I run out to get his pills.I tell Ms. Collins I would be right back. I just have to pick up Kit's meds. She understands saying her daughter has pills too and therapy.
