Can I ever forgive? [MAJOR EDITING]

Did I just smile?

A few hours later, I started to get tired so I dozed away in my hospital bed.

When I was enjoying my wonderful sleep, the sound of the door being knocked disturbed me.

I opened my eyes seeing my mother come in again. I was surprised because she came to see me the second time today, well that's a record. I thought she was angry with me and will not want to come back again.

I saw another person walk into the door behind her. He had normal clothes on, not a doctor or nurse, though I saw him holding a note pad probably for notes. He looks around 40 years old.

"Hi honey" my mom said looking rather scared. Wait, did she just call me honey? She never calls me honey. I felt love run through my body from my ear when I heard this.

"Hello sweetheart" the stranger that walked in with my mother greeted me. Another way of talking to someone in a nice way. I felt more love run through my body once again. I was shocked and I noticed he saw it in my eyes. Wow, this guy is good.

"Umm, hi" I said so softly it sounded like a whisper. The stranger gave me a warm smile as my mother stayed looking scared.

"My name is William, call me William." He said putting his hand out waiting for me to shake it.

"I'm Claire." I said then stiffened up when I said my horrible name.

"I am a psychologist, I am your psychologist." I nodded in understanding. It was kind of weird how he kept using the same words in one sentence, twice.

"Ms. Frankstilor, please may I talk to Claire over here alone." William looked at my mother.

"Okay" she said. She didn't say a goodbye or anything, I didn't expect one anyway.

"So Claire" William said and saw me stiffen when I heard my name. Gosh I hate that name. "that is a very nice name." he continued.

How could he like my name? Is he making fun of me? "You like it?" I asked in confusion.

"Yes, of course" he said with a smile "In my opinion, it is one of the few names that show how a person can be so strong but yet so sweet and that definitely fits you" his smile grew bigger and sweeter.

I looked down. I did not want to believe him. "You probably say that to all your patients." I was still looking at the floor.

"No, I only tell this to the people who have one of those few special names." his smile was now warm.

I now had a huge smile on my face but I hid it looking down. When I heard nothing from him, I looked up no longer having a smile on my face.

He suddenly asked "Claire, why did you want to jump?" his eyes were caring.

I looked down and didn't answer. "I'm not going to tell anyone Claire." he said. I tried to look further down when I heard a beep from his pocket. He sighed.

He took his phone out and turned the sound off. "It's time. See you tomorrow Claire" he said once again with a warm smile. I smiled back.

Wait, I smiled back? I smiled? I don't smile much since I have nothing at all to smile about. I was still surprised that I smiled at my psychologist, wow.

I smiled! I was loved! That's it, that's the key ingredient to a smile, love! Now I know why I couldn't smile in the past, I didn't have the key ingredient, I didn't have love!

Wait, I felt love? I felt love from my mother! She didn't give love to me at all in the past, did she suddenly care? I felt loved by two people! I didn't only get loved from my mother, I met someone today, he was my psychologist, he smiled at me, he passed love to me, that made me happy, love made me happy.

Excitement ran through me as I thought of me being loved, being cared about, but is this permanent? Would my mother continuously give me love each day?

So Claire finally smiled in so long, because of love!

The key ingredient to a smile is love! Let people know you care, pass love to everybody around you, let them feel loved!
