It's been two weeks since the accident with Andy, and since then Andy's put me through to the school psychiatrist. She's pretty cool though and whenever I get sent out of class, she lets me chill in her office for the rest of the period. I tell her most things, but not everything because I don't need to burden someone else with my problems; I'll sort them out eventually anyway. She helps me with boyfriend problems as well, so she's kind of like an older sister to me.
"Oh look, Miss fuckup is seeing her psychiatrist again. Just slit your wrists already." Cassadee laughs, brushing her shoulder against me as she passes by with her posse close behind.
I'm so glad I'm seeing Lillie this period, I can't stand being around Cassadee or her gang. I knock my fist against the hard, wooden door for a few seconds.
"Hey, c'mon in Addie." Lillie greets me, smiling as always. I nod and walk past her, taking my usual seat in front of her large marble desk. It's cluttered with paperwork as normal. She apologizes for the mess and divides the papers into two piles, setting them both aside and grabbing out the manila folder clearly labeled with my name in bold, capital letters. I watch her fingers as they sort through the pieces of paper in the folder, flicking through them until she finds the sheet she needs.
"So, Addie, how have you been?" I only see Lillie twice a week, and she's interested in everything I say, maybe's she pretending to be interested to be nice.
I shrug my shoulders, "Okay I guess, I'm still worried about Andy though."
"Why? Is he falling back into old habits, maybe he needs to see me!" She giggles, a smile falls onto my lips. She's so adorable, like seriously, I refuse to believe that she's 24. More than anything, she's a 16-year-old.
"No, I just don't feel right leaving him at home alone. I don't know, maybe I'm just paranoid." I ramble lowly. Lillie nods silently, jotting down notes on the piece of paper.
"Well with what you experienced, I don't blame you. Now, any boy problems you care to discuss?"
I roll my eyes, giving her a slow nod. "Flynn's been ignoring me and I don't know... like he won't even answer my calls or reply to my texts."
"Maybe he's just not that into you." Lillie smirks, tapping her pen against the paper.
I shake my head, looking at the ground, trying to disguise my smile. Lillie always has a knack for pulling a pun or two every session. "Okay but seriously, maybe he's cheating on you or something."
I nod, looking up as a rap at the door interrupts out session. Lillie jumps out her chair and strides to the door, I hear a few words being passed around before she turns back to me with a sad expression. "Hey, uh, Ashley's taking you home."
A scrawl dawns on me, why would Ashley being taking me home? Andy hasn't texted me, so to my knowledge, he's still picking me up. I sigh, picking up my bag and throwing the strap over my shoulder.
"See you tomorrow?"
Lillie nods, "Yes, we'll continue tomorrow."
I walk out the door to find that no, it isn't Ashley whose picking me up.
It's Juliet.
