My therapist looks into my eyes expectedly. "Well, I've been depressed lately..." I say.

He nods. "That's understandable, having lost your dog. So sorry about that." He says.

My eyes widen "How did you know about Maddi?" I ask him, confused. She only died a few days ago, who could have told him?

"Oh, someone told me, I can't remember who exactly. Sorry if I scared you there." He says before smiling apologetically.

"Oh." I say, sighing with relief. My mom probably told him.

"Is there anything else you'd like to talk about?" He asks, clasping his hands together.

"Lately I...I've been feeling like I'm...well...going crazy." I admit, shaking my head.

"How so?" He asks me, intrigued.

"I keep hearing these noises." I tell him. He grabs his pen. I hear it click before he starts writing down something. "Like, I'll be sitting on the couch watching something and I'll hear a...tapping noise on the window, or a knock on the door. And when I look there's always nothing there." I say.

"Hmm." He says as he finishes writing.

Oh, I didn't mention the car I saw outside my house. It was an old white, slightly dirty one. I had seen it driving down the street a few days ago too. Wait...that was the same day Maddi died.

He looks down at his watch before saying "Well, looks like our time's up for today."

After I leave and I'm walking through the parking lot, I see the car. The car. After staring at it for a minute, I see a man walking towards it, but not before waving at me.

"See you next week, Natalie!" He calls, before getting inside and driving off.
