"Miss Frost, please. Why won't you tell us what has been going on? We are here to help you." "Do you really think I would be sitting in your office if I didn't know that?" I replied dryly. The doctor gave me a stern look causing me to slump back into the not-so-comfortable plastic chair. "Now, Kathleen..." "Don't call me that." The doctor's eyes shot to me while the bitterness in his voice grew, "Excuse me?" "Don't call me Kathleen." I mumbled again, struggling to avoid eye contact with the man who sat in front of me. The doctor then let out an exaggerated sigh, "What would you prefer to be called then?" I didn't speak, leaving the doctor waiting on a line. "Come on, Miss Frost. I do not have all day!" "Katie." I whispered under my breath. The doctor sighed once more, clearly not amused how I was acting in an important meeting. My eyes were still on the ground and I didn't lift them up once. "Dear, please look at me in the eyes and please stop your mumbling! I can't hear a thing you're saying." "I can't look up." I replied back smoothly. "Why not then?" "The eyes are the window to the soul. If you look into my eyes, you can read me like a book. I am not a free book at the library Doc, I am a diary filled with my secrets and emotions." I paused for a second to make sure the doctor was catching on. The doctor didn't say anything, so I presumed I could continue, "Want to know what is on my diary, doctor? It is a lock; a lock that is only accessible to open by me. In order for someone to read my diary, they need to break the lock. That means they need to break me. You know why they wouldn't want to do that, Doc?" "Why?" The doctor asked. For once, he seemed intrigued in what I had to say. Almost as if I was giving him clues about me, but what I had been saying was far from clues at all, "Let's just say, I'd pity the person who would be able to get inside my thoughts. It's not a place for ordinary people..." I finally looked up at the doctor and grinned in a devilish way, "and I think we both can agree that I am far from ordinary."
