My state of mind

Chapter 3

I sat in the chair I was directed to sit in, while trying to get comfortable was asked," so Michelle how do you think things are going here for you,"

I so badly wanted to reply with," get me out of this hell hole," but I couldn't. I have to make them believe that I have changed. Cause what nobody knew was that when Michelle got out of the mental institute she was going to end her story, once and for all. ," i feel like I am doing great for being here for 3 weeks," I smiled at dr steward trying to make him believe that I just said, even though it hurt just to say.

" thats very good Michelle," dr steward smiled back at me. " do you have any concerns that you would like to share with me?"

" no, I am mainly just focusing on rehabilitating my state of mind while I'm here. Cause when I get out I am plan on taking extra classes to be able to finish my freshman year on time with passing grades," I lied to him once again.

He studied me carefully as I played with my thumbs in my lap, " those sound like some very good goals for a person like you Michelle,"

A person like me? What does he mean a person like me? " thanks," I replied keeping my glare at the floor.

"Michelle, here is my thinking. Since you have dramatically improved your mental conditions since you arrived here we are going to keep you here for 3 more days and after those 3 days of we feel you are ready to go home then you will be released and we will no longer be I charge of you or your safe-"

I cut him off mid sentence," thank you so much dr steward! I don't think I could have come this far with out you as my counselor,"

"Now Michelle, at anytime in these 3 days if any staff member thinks you should be kept here longer we will do so,"

"Okay, thank you so much!" I replied.

"Alright you have a good day Hun,"

"Thanks you too," i smiled at him with a smile ear to ear.
