my therapist

(2) she's just a patient

Malia-
Oh hi there! I'm Malia baker, I'm a therapist. I got a call this morning about a new patient, I think her name was Kylie Cantrall. She was at the hospital and my boss called me over to introduce myself. I might have listened to her songs before. I'm not sure. Anyways! I wore some white pants and a black shirt tucked in.



I took a quick photo before heading to the hospital.

Once I got there I was greeted by her family.
"Hi I'm Malia baker, I will be Kylie's new therapist" I smile as I shake their hand.
"Nice to meet you, we already talked to her about it, she said it was fine, that she needed to meet you first" the dad says
"Oh sorry call me Alex and Carol" he smiles.
"Okay, well, our sessions will start when she starts feeling better but I will have a mini session right now to get to now her better and so she could get comfortable around me, which I should talk to her doctor about" I say writing a small note.
After telling them the info I headed to Kylie's room.
I enter before closing the door. She's there watching TV.
"Hello MS.cantrall" I turn to her.
My jaw almost dropped to the floor. She was beautiful...
I clear my throat.
"I will be your therapist, Malia baker" I smile.
She smiles back. Aw her smile was so wholesome.
I sit down.
"So, first this is how I start sessions" I cross my legs.
"So first, you ask me questions and I answer truthfully to get you to trust me, any questions, it doesn't matter" I smile.
"Um, will I be able to trust you?" She asks.
"Of course!"
"Where will we do the sessions?" She asks as she takes a sip of her drink.
"Well, mostly at my office, but when you need an extra session you could always come to my house!"
"Um are you dating anyone?" She asks.
My eyes lit up.
"Oh no! No! Not like that! I'm asking so I can trust you not to tell anyone else about what I tell you" she adds.
"Oh okay, do a second there I thought you were a flirt" I tease as she laughs. Her laugh is damn beautiful.
"But um, no I don't have anyone except my family, I like to think about work before someone else, when I find the right person I'll find them just not right now" I smile.

She asks a few more questions getting more comfortable.
"Any more?" I ask.
She shakes her head no.
"Okay well can i ask you a couple of questions?" I ask.
"Mhm" she smiles.
"So do you have a favorite color?" I ask, starting with the basics.
"Um red." She says.
"Oh okay, um do you have a favorite drink?"
"Matcha!"
"What kind of matcha?"
"Um lavender matcha!" She smiles wider
"Do you like a specific sport?"
"Um football and soccer, me and my friends went to a UCLA game" she says.
"Oh that's cool!" I smile.
"Do you have a favorite singer, artist, actress or something like those"
"Don toliver"
"Oh Kay! Have you ever cut yourself while listening to Don toliver?" I ask as i open my notepad.
"Um no really" she says. I write that down.
"Okay, do you ever wanted to run away?" I ask.
"A few times but I held it in, I never want my friends or family to get THAT call" she said
"Oh well that's sweet of you, was the crash on accident or on purpose?"  This was the important question.
"I don't really know, I was drunk."
"Okay so let's simplify this, did you see that tree?"
"Yeah"
"Did you look straight at it?"
"Mhm"
"Did you stop when you got too close?"
"No" she says.
So that's a yes.
"Okay, so! How are you feeling now?" I ask
"Not so good."

I go on and on with questions making sure she was comfortable with me.

Once I was finished I got up.
"So miss Cantrall we finished our first session, I hope you feel better, I'ma give your parents my card for whenever you need to call me, I'm open anytime, except 10am-2pm since I have another patient" I smile as I pick up my stuff. She nods.
"Have a nice day Kylie" I leave.
She was nice. I go back to her parents.
"Alex, here is my card for whenever she needs me to just call me, I'm open anytime except 10am-2pm since I have another patient" I say as I hand them my card.
They nod.
I leave before heading back home.

Why was I thinking about Kylie the way back?

Shes just a patient.
