ANW CHAPTER 10 "Give me the knife"

Jason is sitting in a small room with a bright light. A woman sits across him.
Woman: So Jason isn't it? Why are you here?
Jason: My school made me go see a psychologist...
Woman: And why is that?
Jason: They say that I have anger issues.
Woman: And do you also think you have anger issues?
Jason: Uhm...maybe a little.
Woman: When do you get angry?
Jason: I don't know.
Woman: Do you know why you get angry?
Jason: I don't know.
Woman: Do you get only angry or also stressed, scared or maybe sad?
Jason: Why do you ask me these questions? I have already made that test so why do I need to answer more questions?
Woman: Jason, the results have came in.
Jason: So tells me what the result is.
Woman: Your score on how high the risk of anger issues is 2%.
Jason: That's good, so let me go.
Woman: But I'm wondering why your school said you have anger problems. I mean on your test you said you did not have anger problems, but you just told me you did.
Jason sits silently looking down.
Woman: I know you don't want to be here and that you only made your test good because you want to leave. But I'm here to help you. If you leave, nothing will change. So let's do the test again, but now you tell the answers to me.

Jason is sitting in the waiting room with a teacher. Then woman psychologist walks out of the office.
Woman: Well you must be Jason's mother.
Teacher: Oh no, I'm his teacher. His parents couldn't be here.
Woman: I'm sorry but you may not come in if your not one of his parents or guardians.
Jason walks inside.
Teacher: But the school send me to-
Woman: This is a private conversation and I won't make a exception.
The woman walks inside. They sit down in the opposite direction of each other.
Woman: The results have came in, again.
Jason: What do I have?
Woman: Do you expect to have something?
Jason: Can you just tell me?
Woman: There came out that you got some sort of anger issues. You have a personality disorder, it's called bipolar disorder.
Jason: What is that?
Woman: It means you have manic episodes and depressive episodes. The manic episodes explain the anger issues.
Jason looks furious.
Jason: I'm not depressed!
Woman: Jason...
Jason stands up.
Jason: No! All of this is bullshit!
Woman: Just listen to me okay.
Jason: Why would I listen?! I didn't even want to be here!
Jason turns around to not face the woman. Then the phone on her desk rings. The woman picks up. She puts her hand against the phone.
Woman: It's your Mom, I asked her to call me. I already told her your results.
Jason turns back around looking curious. The woman puts her ear against the phone.
Woman: Hello, with Miss Collins how can I help you?...Of course.
She hands the phone to Jason.
Jason: Mom? When are you coming home?
Mom: I'm sorry honey, we still have some business to do, we'll come home soon.
Jason: But mom. I...I need you to be here.
Mom: I'm sorry Jason. In a few months we're back. I have to go now. Take care sweetheart.
Jason: Wait can I talk to dad? Mom? Are you there?
Jason puts the phone down. He looks heartbroken and walks away.
Woman: Wait, Jason.
Jason storms out of the office. He walks past the teacher, out of the building. He leans against the wall of the building. He takes a cigarette and lights it.

Jason wakes up with a straight face and sits straight up. He rubs his tired eyes.

Its morning. Zayn is sitting outside. Adrian comes out of the building.
Adrian: Morning, how long have you been up?
Zayn: All night...I couldn't sleep...
Adrian: Oh, I understand you are worried about Alex. It will be alright.
Suddenly Jessie is standing there.
Jessie: What will be alright?
Adrian: Uhm...just everything...
Jessie: And why did you guys went to get medicine? We already got a lot.
Zayn: There is some of it we run out off...
Jessie: Is Alex doing drugs? I found a medicine bottle in her bag.
Zayn: Wait what? How?
Adrian sighs.
Adrian: Alright. Let's tell her...
Zayn: But-
Adrian: Otherwise she will think Alex is some kinda drug addict.
Zayn sighs, but agrees. Adrian turns towards Jessie who looks impatient.
Adrian: Alex has anger issues, that requires medicine. And she run out of it so we have to get some, we're going again today.
Jessie: Oh...okay I guess.
Zayn: But don't tell anyone alright?
Jessie: Okay...
Adrian: Zayn, if you wake Alex up we can already go to get the medicine. So we will be back early.
Zayn nods and walks to Alex's tent. He gets inside and sees her sleeping.
Zayn: Alex, Alex.
Alex: What?...
Zayn: Are coming? We're going to get the medicine.
Alex: Ugh...I'll be done in a minute.
Zayn: Alright.
