The Punk and the Misfit L.T*COMPLETED*

Therapy and Unexpected experiences (4)

Hillary's POV
The rest of the week weent by quickly. I avoided Jacelle, Louis and Josh as much as I could and stuck by Niall like glue. I asked Granny if I could visit Aunt Karen today, telling her I missed my Aunt and wanted to see her. Granny agreed. THe truth is, I wanted to tell Aunt Karen that the nightmares were back, and it was upsetting me.  

Granny pulled up in Aunt Karen's driveway and said to call her when I was done. I thanked Granny for driving me and got out of my car. Yes, Granny is driving my car because Grandpa is at a meeting and has the car. I watched as Granny backed out of the driveway and onto the main road. I walked up to the front a knocked hard and fast. I waited and waited and waited until my cousin, Victoria, opened the door. "oh, hey there cuz. Oh my, what happened to your wrist?" Vicky asked. "I sprained my wrist during P.E" I said. Okay, so the PE part is a lie, no one knows anything. 

"Hey, is your mum here? I really need to talk to her" I said. "yeah, she is in her office. Come on in" Vicky said and let me inside.  Vicky led me through the house and knocked on her mum's office door. I heard a mumbled 'come in' and Vicky opened the door for me. I mouthed 'thank you' and walked in. Aunt Karen spun around and smiled warmly at me. "Hillary. What a pleasant surprise. What can I do for you?" Aunt Karen said. "I need to talk to you, right now" I said.

Aunt Karen got me to lay down on the couch in her office while she sat at her computer, ready to type. "So, has the situation you came to me on Monday improved or traumatized you?" Aunt Karen asked. "I… I wouldn't say traumatized, but it definitely not improving" I said. "What's buzzing around in your mind, Hills?" Karen asked. "Not what, who. And Louis is who. My Louis. The Louis I knew before he went all punk/rebel" I said. I heard Aunt Karen start typing on her computer.  

"What age are you guys around?" "7" "7? Why 7?" Karen asked. "That was how old we were when we first met. God, that was 10 years ago. Wow, time flies" I said. "So, you're remembering parts of your childhood. Parts you're…" "Trying to forget. The Louis I once knew is gone. Long gone, in fact. He's never coming back" I interrupted. "Hillary, have you told your grandparents about these… dreams?" Aunt Karen asked. "No. I don't plan to. They're just simple nightmares, right?" I said. "Nightmares that made you shut the world out for weeks" Aunt Karen said and then sighed. "Is there any friends at school you can tell?" Aunt Karen asked. "No. Look, Aunt Karen, I want to keep this between you and I. No one else can know. Not until it stops" I said.  

"Alright, Hillary. Okay, why don't you close your eyes and describe what you see" Karen said. I exhaled and closed my eyes. "I see the 3 of us. Niall, Louis and I. It's a beautiful sunny day, and we're playing in Louis's backyard. We're… we're playing tag. And Louis's it. He's chasing me, and I'm following Niall. Sometimes, I do a cartwheel to avoid Louis, but it doesn't help to much" I began. "It seems you are having lots of fun" Aunt Karen said. I smiled and kept watching. "Louis is about to tag me, but Niall jumped in front and let's Louis tag him. Niall smirks at me, just as Louis's mum, Jay comes out with cookies and juice. I sprint towards her and hide behind her legs. I start giggling like mad as Niall and Louis join us. They start complaining about Jay being a shield for me is unfair, so Jay sets the cookies and juice down on the table and disappears inside, laughing. I panic and run off. But, because I ran through Louis and Niall, I got tagged. I pouted, then started charging at Niall and Louis. Niall saw me and ran, but Louis was preoccupied with cookies so I ran and jumped onto his back. He squeals, and claims a monster has come to eat him. Niall just laughs his head off as I try to stay on the back of a spinning Louis. Eventually, I get.." "Hillary, that's enough. You're crying" Aunt Karen said.  

"That's when I began aware of the salty tears falling down my cheeks. I slowly lifted my hand up and  wiped them away. "Why did you start crying, sweetie?" Karen asked. "Seeing the Louis I once knew...i-it reminds me of the… the devil he is now. And I just...it just upsets me to see what he became" I said. "Hillary, yes I know I'm a guidence consellor and I can help, but others need to know this is happening. I know that you don't want your grandparents knowing, so I'm not going to ask you to tell them. I think that you should tell someone close to you, someone who'd do anything to help you. Is there anyone you can tell?" Aunt Karen asked.
