My therapist was nice. His name is Mr. Thompson. He had a salt-and-pepper beard, matching hair, and hazel eyes. He had me sit down on a couch and he had a notebook. 

He asked me what I've thought about school after he introduced himself. I said it was fine. He asked what he thinks of my life with Simon. I say it's fine. 

"I know you don't like to talk much, especially to strangers," He says. No, he doesn't know. "But you can trust me. I don't leak any of this information out, not even to your dad." I nod, knowing this already. 

"You can tell me anything whenever you like," He continues. Then he smiles. "How about a game?"

He walks over to a shelf and pulls out a chess board. I feel my heartbeat rising as I remember the games with Harry. I shake my head quickly. He nods his head and puts the game back. Then he writes something down on the notebook. 

"How about some tea?" He asks. I nod. He walks over to a set of counters and cupboards on the wall, and makes us some tea. He sets one down in front of me and sits across from me. 

I take the cup and take a sip of the warm liquid. It was sweet, and the steam smelled good. I closed my eyes. 

Suddenly, I saw Harry smiling next to me, holding a cup of tea and gesturing to a chess board. 

I open my eyes and screech, jerking the tea cup and spilling the liquid on my knee. Mr. Thompson looks worried, and sets his tea cup down. 

"Are you okay?" He asks. 

I nod, and take a deep breath. He gets up and gets a towel from one of the cupboards. He hands it to me, which I take and start wiping my leg. The tea dripped onto the ground, and I had a dark stain on my jeans. 

"Oow..." I whine. 

"What happened?" He asks softly. 

I stop wiping my knee and look up. His hazel looks into my own, and I feel like he's looking right through me. I blink and look down. 

He nods, and writes down on his notebook again. Then he looks down at his watch.

"Well," He says suddenly. "I think that's enough for today, don't you think?" I nod, and he helps me. He hands me my crutches and opens the door for me. 

"Have a nice day," He says. I nod, and I head out of the building. 

Lewis and Hannah wait for me outside. Simon isn't with them, so I guessed that he isn't feeling well enough to ride with them. I got inside the car, placing my crutches on the floor. 

"Hey, Candie," Hannah says. 

"Hey," I say. 

"How was school?" Lewis asks, as we drive out of the parking lot.

"Okay," I say. "I met a girl. And her friends. And a guy. And bullies." 

"Wait a minute," Hannah says, turning around smirking at me. "You met a guy?" Lewis chuckles. I blush. 

"Uh," I say. "He's a friend." 

"A friend?" Hannah teases. 

I cross my arms. "Shut up...." She laughs and turns back around.
