Veronica's POV.

Today I am going to this so called therapist. Dad says I have to go. I usually dont listen to people and dad in general but he says he will kick me out of the mansion and there will be other conciquences as well. I will go but I bet  the therapist will quit in a few days. I have to go to her twice a week. I can just creep her out and she will run away. Easy.

It is 12 in the morning Fallon is coming with me to the therapist because it is on her way to work. I have like the most evil smile on my face. "Ok why are you smiling" Fallon asks. "What do you mean ?" I say innocently. "What are you planning to do ?" She asks. "I have no idea what you are talking about" I say with a small smug. "Ok whatever it is you are doing be carefull and dont let it be too crazy ok ?" She says to me. I nod.

We arrive to the therapist. "Hello" she says to me calmly. I don't reply to her. I just sit down on the chair infront of her desk. "So miss carington" she says. "Your father told me about your issues" she continues. Great ! What has dad told her about me ? "Yea you mean how I wear black everyday because I like death and killing." I lied to the therapist. Just trying to scare her away. I loved wearing black because I like the color black... and also I didnt wear anything but black since my mother died. "He has mentioned something like that" the therapist said , still calm. "Yea something like that. How about my obsession with horror movies" I told her with an evil smug on my face. Now that is not a lie and you should ask Fallon. I always scare the shit out of her when we watch a movie of my choosing for movie night. "Yea he has mentioned that too. Not really in the exact words. He said you were a goth so you are explaining the definition of goth now." she said. Me ? Goth ? I have no problem with goths at all and I think they are pretty  interesting but me a goth ? Absolutely not ! Does dad think I am a goth ? Wtf . "Ha you must be mistaken I am not a goth." I tell her. "Then why do you like death , the color black, and horror movies." She says. Great now miss therapist thinks I am a goth and so does my dad. I am not a goth. I mean I wish I was but i am really not. "Ok I am a goth. A really mischievous one actully. Do you know what I did to my high school teacher when she told me something I didnt really like." I told the therapist. "No. What did you do ?" She asked. "She may or may have not came bald to school the next day." I say. I lied to her about being goth because I am not in the mood to argue with her and also if it helps with scaring her away. But about what I did to the teacher , that was not a lie. She told me she wanted to talk to me about something 'in private' after I failed a quiz or something like that although I was usaully a straight A student. So she grabbed me on my recess time and said to me 'look dear I know that you might have  alot on your plate right now and you might be dealing with issues but you have to study well. We dont want you failng anymore' What kind of teacher tells her student that she has issues? When she is 16 . She was a terrible teacher. "Ok miss carington le-" the therapist says but I cut her off. " I dont like people calling me miss carington. I only let them use that when we are doing buisness." I tell her. "Very well Veronica" she corrects. "So let us talk alittle about when your love for those things started" she says. "15" I tell her. Yes 5 years ago. When my mother died. "Any specific reason ?" She asks. She was getting personal here. I didnt want to answer her. "No" I lie. There was a reason. A reason that still hurts me till the day. "We will come back to that later because I know nothing has no reason" she tells me. "Yea very wise" i murmur sarcastically under my breath. She hears me but ignores. "And could you tell me why you did self harm ?" She asks. That is also too personal. What was I supposed to do to scare this therapist away ? I usually scare away people easily but not her. "That is none of your buisness" I answer her. "Ofcorce it's my business,  I am your therapist here to help you" she says. When she said 'your therapist here to help you' I cringed but then started laughing mentally. Help me ? Help me ? I am here with her wasting one hour of my life talking about personal stuff I dont want to talk about that I haven't even told Fallon . I'm gonna tell a therapist ? And the word 'help' from someone who is not family does not come in my dictionary. Man I have trust issues. "I am not telling you about my personal life." I tell her."Oh I see you have trust issues." She says. She was making me really angry now. "Well you can't go around trusting people because then they will brake you and hurt you. They will find your weakness and hit you right were it hurts." I yell at her. "So you do have trust issues and it has a reason. You were hurt by people and now you dont trust them" she says. I mean she was right but that doesnt mean I started to like her or anything. "Back to why you did self harm" she says. Back to that  ? Will she just let it go ? I just stay quite. I dont answer her. "Ok maybe we can talk about that some other time." She says. "Look I don't want to talk about it now,  I dont want to talk about it some other time.  I dont want to talk about it after a million years !" I scream at her. "Trust issues and being stubborn" she says as she writes it down. Ok so until now I am a goth , a Psycho who cut her teacher's hair , a person who tried to do self harm, a person who has trust issues, a person who is stubborn, and a person who had anger issues. And we are just in the first 20 minutes of the session. "Look Veronica. I just want you to tell me why you did self harm. You dont have to say details. Just in general" she says as she looks up to me waiting for answers. I mean if it was going to make her shut up I can tell her a hint of the reason but not the complete truth. "So what I say to you doesn't go to anyone else right ?" I ask. "Ofcorce. What you tell me stays with me" she answers. "I was bullied when I was little. All the way up to 15 when i started doing self harm and - and I was depressed after my mother's death and there was alot of pressure on me and - and I didn't know what to do. I solved pain with pain. The feeling of the warm blood running out of my hand made me feel pain but it was way less pain than what my situational pain was." I tell her directly regretting what I have told her. Why did I tell her that? "I see. And you have been someone who likes black and scary movies to scare away people who hurt you right ?" She says. How does she annalise that fast ? I stay silent and then slowly nod. "I'll see you tommorow." She says. "Tommorow ?" I ask her. "Well it was 2 times a week but since you have alot of things to work on  , I will change it to everyday." She says. "No !" I scream at her. "That is the issue with you. You dont like to accept reality and you try to change it" she says to me as she walks away. I head outside as angry as hell. Who is that so called therapist to talk to me like that ?

Fallon's POV.

I leave work and I head to my driver asking him to go to where Veronica is so we can pick her up from the therapist. She gets into the car and she looks really mad. "What happened ?" I ask. "That so called therapist started asking me all kinds of personal questions and now she knows that I have trust issues and she thinks I have anger issues and she thinks im a goth and she thinks I'm a psycho!" She screams in anger. "Holly shit that is alot" I tell her then alittle laugh comes out of my mouth. "Who said I even need a therapist ?" She says in frustration. "Look Veronica maybe you do need that therapist just to make you feel better." I tell her as gentle as I can directly regretting what I have said. She looks at me with the saddest face and then stares at me. She turns her head to the window and a little tear slides down her cheek. No no no I just made her cry. Shit ! I never thought she was that emotional,  maybe she cries more than I think she does. Or maybe she thought I understood her , I was a person who was special to her and a person who she trusted and I just told her she needs a therapist.

We get out of the car and into the mansion. Veronica storms up to her room. I follow her. "Go away" she says. "Look Veronica I di-" I was cut off. "Do you really think I'm mentally depressed and crazy and I need a therapist ?" She asks in a broken voice. I sit down beside her on the bed. "No Veronica that is not what I meant." I tell her. "Then what did you mean ?" She asks looking into my eyes. "I meant that maybe you need someone to talk to. Someone to open up to. Someone who can listen to you and give you good advice" I tell her. "But I have you" she says as she holds my hand. "Yet you don't open up to me completely. I still dont know why you did self harm , with who you were living before you came here , what college you attended to , what made you hurt. I know nothing about your past, nothing about you when you weren't here. And I'm your best friend , your sister. You are scared of opening up because you are scared of how the person will see you as after you do. But the therapist she is someone who is there for you to open up. She wont hurt you." I tell her. There goes the crappy life advise that I am giving to my sister when she needs it. She gives me a big hug. "So" I say after she lets go of me. "Do you want to play truth or drink today ?" I ask. "Sure" she says with a big smile on her face. "But not here. Umm how about around 8 at my office ?" She asks. "Sure" I answer.
