-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.
