Flawed Love {Newt fanfiction}

2

I've been making a list of the things they don't teach you at school. They don't teach you how to love somebody. They don't teach you how to be famous. They don't teach you how to be rich or how to be poor. They don't teach you how to walk away from someone you don't love any longer. They don't teach you how to know what's going on in someone else's mind. They don't teach you what to say to someone who's dying. They don't teach you anything worth knowing.

I still had to go,to convince my mother I was still strong enough to do what's normal. So I sit at my desk as she walks in,the girl. From yesterday. Her hair flows down,wearing a simple denim jacket and a black dress. I feel my pulse rise as I look down. Of course,she wouldn't even look at me. I pretend to write as I watch her from the corner of my eye as she talked to her friends. I look up at the clock and my eyes widen. I'd was late for the appointment with the school counsellor. I grab my stuff and run out. Trust me,I didn't want to go, but I went for my mum. Who wanted me to. So I sit n the small room,plain walls with bookshelves full of the novels you'd never see sold in stores. Only here. I sigh as I look at the woman sitting opposite me.  Quite young-someone who you'd expect to work in any profession but this. She forces a smile and holds her pen and paper tightly in her lap.

"How would you like to begin?" She asks. Quickly checking down at her paper "Newt. That's your name.."

"Yes," I nod "Begin how you normally do."

"Well I review why you're here. It was your mother who called me about the loss of your father. I', extremely sorry."

"It's okay. I'm dealing with that. I don't need your help. I don't need anyone's help.."

She nods "You're late and I have another appointment soon. I like to create time between them." She looks down at the sheets and I look at it quickly. I see Theresa's name and my eyes widen.

"Theresa?" I ask "You help Theresa!?"

"It's confidential!" She snaps at me "You shouldn't be looking at that. Don't you dare tell anyone!"

I gulp "I'm sorry. I won't.."

"Theresa mentions a lot of people." She says as she puts the notes onto her desk "Never you."

"I figured. I've only just met her."

"She's seemed to make an impression."

"Maybe. Maybe that's what I need help on."

She raises a brow "These feelings are completely normal. You don't need help. It's maybe weird if you've never felt that way before. But it does go away. I promise."

I fold my arms "You allowed to make promises?"

"Yes." She nods "I see you three times a week. Monday,Wednesday and Friday."

"Okay. I just think-" I'm stopped when the door opens,revealing Theresa. She stands there,eyes wide as she sees me.

"Hello Theresa. You take take a seat in here if you'd like. We're almost done." The woman says and turns to me "If you didn't know Newt,my name is Rose. You can call me by that if you'd like. I'll see you on Wednesday."

I nod and stand up as I watch Theresa. I walk out and close the door to hear slight mutters but nothing audible to my ears. I gulp and lean outside,I stay there for about twenty-five minutes as she walks out. Gasping as she sees me.

"What the hell are you still doing here!?" She exclaims "Were you spying on me or something?"

I shake my head "Just needed to know why you were here. Come on,I'll tell you if you tell me."

"You always this forward with people? I don't have to tell you anything. Can you just piss off?"

I gulp "I didn't mean to be rude. I just wanted to know."

"Well,you won't understand. No one does. Not that bitch in there. No one. Okay!?" She wipes her eyes "I don't wanna go back to class."

"I know," I sigh "Me neither,"

"And whys that?"

"Hate everyone in there. Idiots who act like there's not a problem in the world."

She smiles slightly "I had you all wrong. It.. It doesn't matter. But. You're right."

I smile back "You complimenting me?"

"Maybe," she laughs.

Does it take more than that to start a relationship? Well-it's a mutual choice.

"Would you like to hang out sometime?" I ask her.

"Are you asking me out on a date?"

"No.. No.."

"Don't sweat it. I wouldn't mind. How about tonight at where you work?"

I nod "I'd like that. See you soon."

"Bye." She kisses my cheek and walks off. Not looking back at me.
