PUCK LET OUT A SMALL HUFF AS HE WALKED THROUGH THE HALLS OF DR PETERS OFFICE, desperately needing to talk to the woman. As he furiously knocked on the office door, he sighed in relief as the it opened, Dr Peters looking confused.

"Hello, can I help you?" The blonde woman asked, a friendly smile on her face. Puck walked into the office, turning to face her. "Yes, you can."

"My name is Puck, and I need to talk to you about one of your clients." Puck explained quickly, Dr Peters sighing and sitting down.

"I'm not allowed to give out information about my clients." The blonde sighed, making Puck roll his eyes before softening his features.

"Please, it's about August." The mohawk-headed boy sighed, making Dr Perers raise her eyebrows. "Oh, you're that Puck."

"August has talked about me?" Puck asked confusedly, his eyebrows furrowed.

Dr Peters sighed gently, she knew it would be wrong to give out information about the teenage boy, but looking at Pucks desperate face, she knew he needed something to help him.

"Fine, what do you want to know?" Dr Peters asked in a sigh. Making Puck smile thankfully at her.

"When will this mental health thing be gone?" Puck questioned obliviously, making Dr Peters laugh quietly.

"Puck, mental health isn't something that goes away. You have mental health all of your life, from the day you're born to the day you die." Dr Peters explained softly, Puck nodding along gently.

"August is a people-please." Dr Peters began, Pucks face covered in confusion. "What does that mean?"

"It means that August is scared of upsetting or making people annoyed, so he changes his values and personality depending on who he is interacting with." Dr Peters explained, Puck staring at the floor as he took in the words.

"Because of this, August has no idea who he is as a person or what he likes outside of his relationships, do you understand?" Dr Peters asked gently, Puck nodding in confirmation.

"Is he ever going to get better?" Puck asked in a snall voice. "I love him so much, and it hurts watching him like, fade away."

"Do you know why August broke up with you?" The blonde asked in a gentle voice, Puck shaking his head. "Because I was a crappy boyfriend?"

"No." Dr Peters stated, shaking her head slowly, looking at Puck. "He broke up with you because he jumped from one relationship to the next, and he needs to find out how he can be happy without needing anyone else."

August sighed as he stared at the pamphlet he was given by Dr Peters, it was for a community centre programme where people could go to talk about their self-harm and help eachother to get better.

He yelped slightly as he felt a hand on his, pulling him down the hall. He sighed in relief as he saw Quinn pulling her down the hall.

"Hey, where are we going?" August asked curiously, making Quinn smile brightly. "The girls are hanging out in the choir room." The blonde explained.
