Abuse Me

Im Glad To See You Again

"Anastasia?" Dr. Hudson peeked out of his office and smiled at Anastasia. She entered his office and took a seat in front of his chair. It had been a week since she faced him. 

"You look brighter. I haven't seen you in a week. Anything new?" 

"Not really. I have to attend my parents funeral tomorrow." 

"I see. Well, have you gotten settled in with your Aunt and her family?" 

"Yes." 

"Do you like living with her?" 

"It's okay." 

He looked up at her then leaned on his arm. "Anastasia, I can't help you if your so close minded." 

She scowled. "I am not. I'm just answering your questions." 

He lifted his eyebrows and she sighed. 

"I ran into my old friends a few days ago." 

"Really? What happened?" 

She recalled how her friends were acting and her reaction. "They were so... fake." 

He nodded and tilted his head. "Do you think that reflects you in anyway?" 

She was silent. "A little. But, I wasnt like that." 

He stared at her then at the papers on his desk. "What are your plans this summer?" 

She glared at him for changing the subject, as if he didn't believe her. "Do drugs and sleep around." She leaned back and crossed her arms, content with her answer. 

Dr. Hudson's eyes cut to her. "Really? What do you use?" 

Anastasia's eyebrows creased. "It was a joke." 

"No it wasn't." 

"Yes, it was." 

He grinned. "I've been doing this for ten years Anastasia and I have a step daughter. I know when someone lies...Especially a teenager." 

She grew furious he was even speaking about this to her. She adjusted how she was sitting and crossed her legs in the large leather chair. 

"I can wait. We have another hour, I believe." 

She played with her hands and let out a weary breath. "I used to do drugs, okay? Im not sleeping around either." 

"My previous question still stands. What did you use?" 

She looked up at him and counted on her hand. "Mostly weed.  Acid probably once or twice and..." She fidgeted with her bracelets.  

"And?" 

"I did coke once. It made my nosebleed and I didnt like it." 

He nodded. "Do you drink or smoke?" 

"Ive never smoked but, I used to drink. Mostly the wines my father collected because he would never use them." She smiled small. 

"What about the sleeping around?" 

Her cheeks went red. "I'm a virgin." 

Dr. Hudson looked at her then at the papers once more. "Well thats good. You dont do any of your former habits now do you?" 

"No. Im trying not to." 

"Well, it sounds like you want to get better." 

"I do but... tonight will be a struggle." 

He frowned. "Why is that?" 

"I have to go with my Aunt and Uncle to dinner with some of their friends.... Most of their kids were the ones giving me that stuff." She thought about her eleventh birthday when Isabel said she found something in her moms dresser that was like a cigarette. How they thought they were cool smoking this weird looking cigarette and found out it was actually weed. 

"The same friends?" 

"Yeah." 

"How are you going to face them?" 

'Bitch about them and cry?' Kenny smirked, sitting on the desk. 

"Honestly? I dont know. I just wanna forget about them right now." 

He smiled and began asking her of school. 

The remaining time Anastasia couldnt help but, regret telling him everything.

"So I'll see you next week?" 

"Sure." Anastasia, turned from the door. "Your not going to tell anyone about... what I said will you?"

He looked at her and smiled. "You have my word."

"Thanks..." She left his office and stood outside. Her Aunt pulled up and rushed her in. "We have so many things to do before tonight!" She took off and the speed threw Anastasia back. She readjusted herself and strapped in her seatbelt. "Like what?" 

Her Aunt turned a corner with the tires screeching. "Well, I have people coming over to do our nails, hair, and makeup. Not to mention I wanna get done before your uncle gets home which is in.... A few hours!"

"Ill do my own hair and stuff..."

"You sure?"

"Yeah. I dont want a lot anyways."

"Well, when you see my makeup artist Chelsea you will want it all." She winked and Anastasia faked a nod.

"And you can invite that boyfriend of yours." She winked.

"Oh... yeah." Anastasia sunk in her seat.

"Hurry."

Anastasia nodded and walked upstairs and turned the shower on. She began to strip and stepped into the hot water. Feeling like she could just get away until someone knocked on the door. "Anastasia Ill be back, I dont have the right shoes." Her Aunt called from the outside of the door.

"Uhm. Okay."

Anastasia finished her shower and came out the bathroom in a towel. The door downstairs opened and heard Lucas call for his mom.

"She just went out for shoes." Anastasia called

back down and Lucas stood by the steps. "Oh. Well this is awkward..."

"Hi Anastasia." She saw Andre on his phone ans he didnt even look up.

"Hi... Well uhm. Ill go change."

Anastasia walked down in the dress she bought last week with Lucas. Her Aunt was frantic rushing around the house to get ready with people doing her hair and makeup as she said.

"Are you going with us or them?" Lucas was in the foyer playing pool against Andre.

"Uh. You two?"

"Great. We can leave earlier then." He smiled and Anastasia laughed.

Andre finally looked at her and missed his shot.

"Ha! Finally I'll win." Lucas obviously didn't notice the look his friend was giving his cousin.

Blushing, Anastasia went to find her own shoes and saw her aunt. "Don't you look pretty."

"Oh, thank you."

"I might be a little longer then expected."

"Its alright. I was getting a ride with Lucas and Andre."

"Both of them are here?"

"Yes."

She made a face then asked for more eyeliner. "Well I wont hold you here. Ill see you at the country club."

Anastasia faked a smiled and gathered her stuff. "Can we stay for an hour?" She pulled on a small coat and began walking outside.

"Yes. I dont even want to go but, I have to."

"Im just here for support." Andre laughed and walked beside Anastasia.

"Shit. Ill be back. I need to ask my mom something." Lucas turned and went back into the house leaving Anastasia and Andre.
