Sheriff Swan

Chapter 22

Emma looked up at the clock and it read 3:05. Emma decided to leave now. She got up from her desk and grabbed her keys. She was walking out of the station when Killian called her name. She ignored him and just walked right out of the station. She got into her car and drove to Dr. Hopper's office. When she got there she parked her car. She looked at her car clock and it read 3:17. She sat in her car intill 3:29. She then walked into Dr. Hopper's office and saw him sitting at his desk. He looked up and saw Emma standing there.

"Well hello, Emma." he said welcoming.

"Hi." Emma said slightly waving her hand.

Dr. Hopper sat down in a chair in the middle of the room and then motioned Emma to take a seat as well.

"So Emma, anything happen to you yesterday. Anything wanting to cut yourself maybe. Anything depressing." Dr. Hopper said. Emma thought for a minute. She really didn't like everyone feeling sorry for her. She also didn't like Killian trying to get in her business. "Take your time. You can tell me anything, Emma. Anything that I say in this office will not leave his office. It's just going to be between me and you. You can trust me."

"Well, I told my best friends about the incident I had and they feel sorry for me." Emma said getting annoyed by just talking about the statement.

"That is the humans natural reaction. Well most humans. But anyways, people are going to feel sorry for you. Your friends are going to be the ones who are the people who feel the most sorry for you." Dr. Hopper said.

"I know. I just...I don't like people feeling sorry for me. I'm really okay. I don't need help with anything. I can do everything I could do before the incident. I'm okay." Emma said frustrated.

"Emma, they don't know how to deal with this. They don't know why you did it. They are confused. They are as confused as you."

"They know exactly what happened. They know why I cut myself. They know it was because I lost Graham! They might be confused about the situation but I'm as sure as hell not! I know what's going on!"

"Emma, calm down a bit. I know you told them everything about everything but I know for a fact you didn't tell them about your depression." Dr. Hopper said. Then there was a long pause. "Emma, people with depression are confused most of the time. You ARE confused. You don't know what's going on in your life right now. You don't know how to deal with situations. You just push them off to the side like its alright......Depression is a really hard topic to talk about." Dr. Hopper said rubbing his face. "Emma, was there anything else. Anything at all."

"Well...Killian Jones works with me and I left work early yesterday to come here. He ask me where I went and I said I went home. Then this morning before I got into work I texted him and told him everyday I would be leaving around 3:15. He kept asking me questions about where I was going. I didn't want to tell him here so I told him that's none of your business. Then when I got to work he kept asking me questions. He told me he was worried about me and I said I didn't care. Also, before I left he tried to talk to me but I left before he could say anything more then my name."

"Emma. People are going to be worried about you. Also, he probably thinks you are out doing something your not supposed to do." Dr. Hopper said. Emma looked down and sighed. "Emma, your pushing the situation aside. You think everything is alright. It's not. You need to talk to him about where you are going. You don't have to go into detail but you have to tell him." Emma sighed and nodded her head. She then looked up at the clock and it read 5:45pm. "Ok, Emma. You can go. Tomorrow I want you to come in here and be able to tell me that you talked to Killian." Emma nodded and walked out of his office. She got in her car and started driving home.
