Hell With A Smile

ANDY'S POV

" thanks Dr. Andrew" I said as I made an effort to stand "I really appreciate the time and the pep talk"

"We'll do this some other time then" he asked, smiling

"Like a have a choice?" I shot back, smiling

"Oh, you do, we can just eat cracker and pretend we're being

 busy" at that, I laughed hard but short, I imagined the deceit

"Nice one doctor, but yes, we will"

" you are better off with a smile you know, and seriously, this was an easy session than I thought"

" was I so scary???"

"You think??..... You had me sweating, have a nice day Miss. Andy Hunters" he said as he extended his hands for a handshake which I took

"Have a nice day Doc." I replied as I walked out the door, maybe this wasn't so bad, but how long before my help came?, I got into the elevator and speed dialed my friends Ann and Stella, I needed to tell them both about the latest development

***********************************************************************Outside the building, I sighted Finn emerging from a shop, seriously, my brother waited around??

I shot him an angry look "Finnderland, did you just hang around all this while, am not some stray pet you know"

"You wish, I went home and did some few things with my own life, but I got back on time, hungry???"

I smiled, Finn could be a handful, but he cared for me like it was some die hard mission he had to fulfill...

"What do you have" I asked peeking into the light bag

"Long throat, burger and ice cream"

"Vanilla????"

"You bet"

"Aww....,are you the best?" I grabbed the bag and jumped into the back seat of the parked car as I settled to eat..

"Let's get going please" Finn told the driver, as we moved, I ate hungrily

"Hungry much?" Finn asked obviously amused

"You can say that again, talking and mentally thinking can do that to you, I feel I never had anything in there"

"He fed you??.....,what possibly, aged tea???"

I laughed and almost got food everywhere but myself, "no silly, a new therapist replaced your friend, young and vibrant"

"You forgot to say cute" Finn pointed

"And you would know cause??????"

" heck sis, you are smiling all the way, so he has to be"

" before you place thoughts in where they weren't, allow me eat this in peace"

We both laughed, Finn stared at me and asked "you okay right?.....if you wanna talk about today, I'm just next door"

"I'm okay, bro" I smiled and nudged him hard

"Ouch" he wined in fake pain

"You know you're the best right, I love you plenty" I leaned in and gave him a warm bear hug

"Feels good" he said laughing

I punched him, laughing "go get a girlfriend loner"

"When I got you?.... I doubt"

"You wish bro, you really wish"

***********************************************************************

Ann and Stella were seen at the balcony of my home as we drove in, no kidding, they got here before I did, I smiled to myself, I guess they just couldn't wait to get to hear what I had to say...

I jumped out of the car and headed indoors with my brother tagging along...

"Time to gossip already????" Finn asked me

"Hahahaha, it's a girl thing, give it up already and I mean, discussing and talking" I replied

"Oh, really??..... that's funny though, my regards to them, I need a quick shower and sleep"

I nodded my head in agreement as I left, I saw my two friends smiling at me almost awkwardly, I had informed them about the therapy via Messenger..

"What's with the smile???"

They both immediately drew close and hugged me, "are you alright??" Stella asked

"I'm fine girls, I thought I would be crazy at this moment but somehow, I'm perfectly fine"

"You should have told us earlier on, maybe on your way there"

"For????" I asked, giggling

"I don't know, emergency back up' Ann scowled

I laughed so hard that my tummy began to hurt, Ann was always a hand full of drama and tenderness all mixed up in one soul

"So, about the whole ish, seems you comfy with it, you sounded okay with today's outcome, your chat looked calm"

"Yes, I'm good, I mean, it's going to help"

"Help with?' Stella blurted out, "you ain't psycho, what's the help for?....fill me in"

I smiled and adjusted in a cushion "what if it seems I'm going out of the ordinary, maybe a little bit overboard?...off tracks????"

Ann stared at me like I've lost it "hey, we're friends, I'm not the hiding type, we ain't, when you do, we'll sure let you know okay, you are good, never you feel otherwise okay!???"

"Okay mummy" I replied and smiled

"So, how's the doctor young lady" Ann asked as we burst out laughing.........

FINN'S POV
I got out of the shower and decided to go for a jog before taking a nap, jogging down the estate, the surroundings quiet and calm, I plugged in my earpiece and moved swiftly round neighboring houses, somehow I felt somehow following me, I turned and saw no one, I moved on....

Feeling exhausted, I ended my round and began jogging back, somehow through the low music, I felt some dry leaves crack, I turned again, still no one

Was it just me or am I really been followed, I paused my playlist and jogged even faster, then I heard some sound behind me clearly, I turned quickly and saw nothing except a swift of black wind disappear, what was it...black hood, black face, black sweatshirt????..... Why would anyone follow me?

I suddenly began running and very fast as I got into the compound and locked the gates, I rushed to my room and looked down from my window....and then I gasped....
