Summer looked outside, and was surprised to see her mom picking her up. She walked over towards her car and got into shotgun.
"Why are you picking me up today?" She asked, but quickly added, "I'm not at all upset, just wondering."
"Well, you know how I told you about the therapist thing? We have an appointment."
"Oh, cool." Summer said with gritted teeth. The ride there was quiet. It was a little far away, and took a while to get to. Summer took this time to think about what Austin had said. She wondered who else was working for the government, who else was going to try to hurt her. It could be anyone, even her family.  She turned to her mom, who was lip synching to Taylor Swift. No, it couldn't be her family.
When they got to the therapist, they waited for their appointment. When they were called back they were taken to a room, not like a room at the  doctors. Their were three comfortable sized chairs.
"Welcome!" A man who appeared to be thirty greeted them.
"I am doctor Mavis and you must be Summer and Aubrey Akkesson. Please have a seat! Actually, Mrs Akkesson, you may sit outside. I prefer one on one's with my patients, if that's ok."
"Certainly, whatever is best! Bye  hun!"
Summer watched as her mom left, and wished that she hadn't.
"So Miss Akkesson, your mother tells me that you believe you were attacked? Is this so?"
"Umm, well," Summer cleared her throat, "actually, I know I was attacked."
"Interesting," he said, sounding doubtful, "please, close your eyes for a minute. Try not to think of anything." Summer obeyed and sat there quietly. All of a sudden, a hand wrapped around her mouth, silencing her. The other hand pinned her arms behind her back.
"Miss Akkesson, I would appreciate it if you just comply without argument. It will make this easier for both of us."
Summer felt herself being lifted up into a standing position. She tried to think of what a book character would do. She remembered a few thing, and decided to try whatever seemed easiest. She walked forward a few steps to make it seem like she was obeying, but spun around breaking his hold. He scrambled to regain his hold, but she had already rammed into him, knocking him off balance, and then kicking him in his soft spot. As he fell, she ran to his desk, looking for a weapon. He quickly regained his composure and got up to attack again. She pulled out  a stapler and opened it up. She quickly stapled his stomach and chest before diving over the desk and running out the door. She ran to her mom.
"He attacked me too Mom! I'm not insane! I tell you!"
"What honey? Are you okay? Are you sure he attacked you?"
"YOUR LITTLE MONSTER IS GOING TO PAY FOR THIS!" A voice rang out. A very enraged doctor Mavis stormed over to them. He was bleeding from a few places in his stomach.
"What happened?" Mrs Akkesson
demanded.
"He attacked me." Summer said, still in shock.
"I attacked you? You rammed into me, kicked me, and stapled me. I attacked you she said. Your child needs to go to a hospital for the mentally ill." And with that he stormed out.
"Summer, how could you?" Her mother fumed.
The ride home was awkwardly quiet, to say the least.

Summer pulled out her phone and collapsed on her bed. She started typing a message to Austin. I was attacked again, do you have anymore details? I need help. She pressed send and laid down. She pulled her glasses off her face and rubbed her eyes. Her phone vibrated and she opened the message.  Meet me outside of your house, I have a list of people working to get you. Okay.  She responded. There was a list of people working to get her. She rubbed her temples and tried to relax. She was still making sense of what had happened at the therapists. She was appalled at herself for stapling a person, but she was simultaneously proud. She smiled, remembering how mad he was, but frowned knowing her parents were now furious at her. Her phone buzzed waiting for you, come on. She pulled her shoes on and crept down the stairs. Her parents didn't hear her so she ran out the door. As soon as she got out, she realized that Austin originally worked for the government and they wanted to kidnap her. She turned to go back inside but was grabbed by the wrist. She screamed but was silenced by a hand over her mouth.
"Are you okay? Who attacked you this time?" Austin was looking over her, searching for injuries.
Summer peeled his hand off of her mouth. "I'm fine, and it was my therapist."
"Good, well, I mean it's good that your okay. It's bad that you were attacked and all. Where is the therapist now?"
"I don't know."
"This is why you should come with me, I can protect you."
"I can protect myself. I stapled this guy in the chest about three times."
Austin smirked. "Next time, you may not be as lucky though."
"Whatever."
Austin looked over her another time. "Are you sure you're okay?"
"Yes," Summer sighed, "I'm fine."
"Good, good."
"The list."
"What?"
"Can I see the list of people who want to kill me?"
"Oh, umm, ya." He pulled out his phone. "It says here, well, quite a few people at school, oh look, me! Anyway, some people I don't know, blah blah blah, oh." Austin's voice trailed off.
"What?"
"You can't be here, at least I don't think you should."
"What? Why?"
"What's your mom's name?"
"Umm Aubrey, Aubrey Akkesson."
"Your mom is on the list."
