I was currently on my sofa smoking and thinking about earlier's events, completely forgot about the show on my TV.
I've done this countless times to patients hoping to get closer to me but for some reason I found myself feeling bad.
Guilty almost.
Whatever feeling this was, I hated it.
Putting my cigarette out on my ashtray, I got up and headed toward the bathroom.
Looking at my reflection in the mirror I couldn't even recognize myself. All I saw was a tired corpse-looking person with no emotion showing on her face.
Sighing, I tied my hair back into a ponytail and got in the shower.
I stood under the running lukewarm water preparing to go back to work tomorrow.
Oh wait- I have mandatory therapy tomorrow.
Fuck.
If there was anything in this world I hated more than going to work it was going to therapy.
I have to go nine more times after this but that's nine times too much. I would've been fine with going to jail but since most of my crimes were done as a minor, I was sentenced to mandatory therapy instead.
Ew.
I managed to make my way back to the institute but I had to ask a few people for directions after I forgot the original directions I was given.
I don't think I overstepped my boundaries except when I asked her if she could walk with me.
I couldn't help it though, I want to know more about her. I don't even know her name. All I know is that she's beautiful but very reserved.
I don't blame her though I'm just a new patient who can't remember what happened before I was sixteen. She's probably been courted by multiple other patients in the past.
I doubt I'll be able to even talk to her since my father doesn't seem to like her. Despite him not being here I know how he is, he has eyes everywhere which means he's probably paid people in this institute to keep a close eye on me.
Speaking of my father, a nurse has informed me that he'll be visiting as soon as possible.
A blizzard blew in a few hours ago so no flights can come in or out. The people on TV say the snow should clear up enough to allow flights if we're lucky. So I'm guessing he'll be coming in a week or so; so he can keep an eye on me himself.
Although it's mid-autumn, snow has been falling on and off for the past week.
Odd but not surprising considering the effects of climate change lately.
I lay in my bed and slowly drift off into slumber.

I wake up the next morning prepared to face her and apologize for yesterday but she's not there.
I see a nurse with her back turned to me."Excuse me miss, have you seen a lady who works at that check-in desk?" I say tapping her shoulder and pointing to the desk where the lady usually sits.
"Oh, you mean Aria!" She turns around and I observe her. She's a middle-aged woman whose name tag pin reads 'Susan'.
"Yes, I think."
"She's out today due to personal things but she'll be here tomorrow dear."
"Is she okay?" I say my voice laced with concern, disappointment, and a bit of relief.
"Oh my yes! She's quite alright she's not out for the reasons you may be thinking of." She laughs shaking her head.
"I see, thank you." I flash a friendly smile but it's like she can see right through me.
She gives my shoulder a friendly rub and then pats it with a smile before turning around and walking away.
