Eliza Jordan

Therapy

      "What is your full name," the gray haired lady asks. "My name Is Elizabeth Renae Jordan." "Can you tell me why your mom has brought you here?" I look up at her slowly as a tear streams down the side of my face. " She said because i needed help."

      "What happened that lead her to believe that you needed help." "Why are you asking me all this shit," i say starting to get pissed. " I am pretty sure you already know. Hasn't my mother told you everything." " She has told me what she knows. I need you tell me what happened and help you figure out how to stop it from happening again."

      "I don't need help." I start to get up but she sits me back down. My eyes full of tears i open my mouth," Please just let me go." I can't till you tell me something." " No one cares about me, I don't matter. I'm just one person out of the 6 billion others in this world." "Why do you think like that? People care about you. Your mom loves you."

      " Ya, right she barely talks to me. The last time she talked to me really was before Dad died. " Ever think that's why she doesn't talk. And if she didn't care why would she take you here." "I dont know." The room is silent for a moment. " Now can you please answer my question. Why does your mom believe you need help?"

      "I ain't telling you shit", I say walking out the door and slamming it shut. My mom got up from her chair and walked towards me, "how'd it go." "What do you think? Lets go." We got in the car and didn't talk the whole ride home as usual. As soon we got to the house I ran into my bedroom, grabbed my pillow and screamed into it. By that time the tears were streaming down my face like a rain storm.

      I didn't eat dinner that night and I didn't come out of my room either. "Bing,"my phone goes off I check it and its my reminder that I have group tomorrow. Great. One more thing to worry about. I pick up Tempted and start to read. I get about a quarter thru the book and look at the time. 3:30am. I turn my lamp off and lay there with the darkness of the room comforting me.
