Who's Afraid of Little Old Me

17

Time skip-the next Monday (only a few days later)

Buckys pov

I sit in the office, zoned out. Dr. Raynor is talking but to me all her words are muffled.

"Are you listening James?" Dr. Raynor says and it snaps me back to real life.

"Yeah," I say. I was not listening.

"James I can tell something is on your mind or someone is, would you mind sharing?" she says to me. She is sitting with her legs crossed directly in front of me. Her office is empty.

I don't answer for a minute.

"Nothing," I say to her and that's when he reaches on the table next to her and grabs her notebook.

"Ok fine," I say and she puts the notebook down on her lap.

She looks at me patiently waiting for me to speak up. I think for a moment to try and find my words.

"There's this girl," I say my voice breaking. I can't believe I'm telling her about this.

"Tell me more about her," she says to me and I continue.

"Never mind it's not even important," I say and look out the window.

"James part of our contract is you have to talk. You can talk about whatever you want here you know that right?" she says to me.

The problem isn't that I don't want to talk about my problems because I do but I don't trust this woman. She wouldn't understand anything about me.

I stay silent and sit looking out the window. In the corner of my eye, I can see Dr. Raynor open the notebook. I hear her pen click "I didn't want it to come to this James but if you don't talk I write" She starts to write on the page.

I look at her annoyed "Fine what do you want to know doc".

"Start from the beginning. How did you and this girl meet?" She asks me.

"I work with her," I say and she looks at me waiting for me to continue "Well that's not the first time I met her. I met her before as him."

"Is she holding your past against you?" She asks me. I shake my head "She did before but now she has slowly forgiven me." I say to her. I honestly don't know what Cass thinks or feels about me. You would think she would be easy to read. She is not.

"What made her start to forgive you?" She asks me. I shrug in response.

I don't know. I can never tell what's going on with Cass.

"I have no idea. I don't think I did anything different. I was nothing but nice to her and at first it didn't matter how I treated her, she didn't want anything to do with me, and I guess one day she..I don't know. A switch went off in her head or something and she started being nice to me." I say to her.

Cassandra is one of the most confusing people in my life.

"It sounds like you like this girl a lot," she says.

"I don't like Cass that is insane," I say not realizing my mistake.

"Cass?" She says and I realize by mistake. Fuck.

"I don't know why I said that I don't even know a Cass," I say panicking. Dr. Raynor is about to say something but the timer on her phone goes off.

"That's time Mr.Barnes I'll see you next Monday," she says and I stand up from the couch and walk out.
