-Mom I don't want to go. Please.-
-You have to, the doctor said it's important.-
-But I'm okay, I'm not crazy.-
-I know you are not, but talking to someone will help you Ari.-
-Talking about what? I told you I don't have nightmares that often anymore, I don't need any help.-
I'm currently at the psychologist. Another thing that I hate to do. I just hate the idea of sharing such personal things with a stranger.
But here I am. What else can I do?
-Ariadne Moor, this way please.- I heard a grey haired woman say.
I walked with her to my psychologist's office. Her name is Zoe, she is very calm and she doesn't push me to talk about things I don't want to. Sometimes we just say hello and thats it, we don't talk throughout the whole session. I know that might seem a little stupid but I'm still not ready to open up, and I don't know if I'll ever be.
While walking through this sorrowful halls; stuck in my thoughts I felt someone bump into my shoulder.
I took a quick glimpse of the person I bumped into, all I could see was a pair of piercing dark brown eyes almost black. I couldn't help but notice the sadness his eyes irradiated, not only sadness but anger and loneliness. We made eye contact that seemed to last forever but were actually just a few seconds.
I couldn't see his face, I was so concentrated on his eyes; there was something in his eyes, I don't know what I just know there's something different.
I finally made it to Zoe's office.
-Hello Ariadne, I'm glad you're back.-
- Yeah it's good to be back Zoe.- I lied. Coming here made me sad, it makes me remember everything.
-How have you been holding up?-
-Good, I've been good.-
-So your mother commented that you started school again. How do you feel about that?- she said while look at her note pad.
-Well it's fine I guess.-
-Your mother also said you started... driving again.-
-Yes I just, I wanted to start doing things by myself.-
-And how do you feel?-
- I like doing things by myself better.-
-Does driving bring back those memories?- Zoe asked hesitatingly.
-Ummm... well I've managed to control myself and don't think about that anymore.-
-That's really good Ariadne.- I simply nodded.
-If you are able to would you describe those nightmares of yours?-
-Im really sorry but I-I feel like I'm not ready yet.- I said while I nervously played with my hands.
-Don't worry Ariadne, just let me know whenever you are ready.- she gave me a comforting smile.
A quick flashback of all those horrible memories vividly ran through my mind.
I closed my eyes as tightly as possible to make them go away.
