BLACK IS THE WARMEST COLOR

Chapter 3

I was practically relieving the day over and over. Of course I knew it. But today i felt different. I wanted to leave. I was sick of this shit hole and if you were to be in my shoes, you would be sick of it too.

The familiar squeak of the med cart woke me up from sleep. As usual, the nurse would place our drugs down and assume we would take them. Ughh!

I go through my morning routine, dragging my feet around until noon. I didn't really care about anything anymore ever since Kourtney's horrific death.

At noon, I'm already sitter waiting for my "grouchy" therapist. Finally, the door opens and she walks in with her purse and large notebook at hand. She probably would be tired of me by now. I practically gave her no answers.

"Goodday Dianne! She always said.

"Lets get this over with"was always my reply.

And she would always sigh.(This is me chuckling).

But today was different.

She started off with "Hey"

I didn't know how to respond to that. It was new. Maybe I should say "Hey too?

"Are you okay?" she continued.

"well I'm here, am I not?"

"Okay. Maybe I should rephrase... Are you happy to be alive? Do you have any regrets?"

That question threw me off balance. Well for starters, I would have done somethings a little differently, who am I kidding, I would have done things a lot differently. But as for being alive, I didn't know what to feel.

I sigh...

"Look D, I know I've never asked this but let's look at this as a fresh start. The method I went about everything was all wrong and I want to make things right. My job is to sit, here from you and not judge, and I would do just that."

"There's really nothing to say here. I've spent a really long time here, all for nothing. My shitty dad had been fucking me for God knows how long and just that one time I fought back, you all thought I was crazy."

She scribbled somethings in her notebook before she spoke again.

"I never said you were crazy"

"You didn't need to. I see the way you look at me. But I won't judge. It's just your opinion. Besides you were already briefed before you met me."

"Well I was... But like they always say, there's two sides to a story and I heard theirs. I want to hear yours.

"Aren't you tired of everything Avery?...aren't you tired of seeing the nurses and doctors come to our room only to give us drugs? It's not like they listen to us anyways.

"well I am.... She started.
But there's nothing we can do about it. They think we're crazy"

"yes... Yes.. you see that's the thing. They think we're crazy but we know we're not."

"Where are you going with this D?" she asked getting up.

"My point is.. I took a deep breath
"We have to get out of here".
