*the next day after school*

I go to my locker and shove everything in my backpack.  I walk out the door and look for Aunt Jennah.  She is picking me up today.  I have to go to my therapist.

I see her car and walk over.  I mumble a hi and get in.  The drive isn't long and we are soon there.

I check in and sit in a chair and fill out some papers.  Soon later they call me back.

I follow her onto a room and she shuts the door behind us.  First it's just a bunch of questions like do I do drugs and that stuff.

I don't really mind it though because I don't have to talk about why I'm here yet.

"So Chloe why don't you tell me why you are here." She smiles and I wish I could slap it right off her face.

I don't want to be here.  I don't want to explain what happened.

I don't wanna talk about how I feel.  This won't make me feel better.  I don't even know this lady.  I would rather just sit alone in my room and cry.

"Chloe?" She says after I still haven't answered.

"Yes?" I say looking at her.

"Will you please talk to me?" She asks me.  Again with the stupid smile.  Ugh.

I look around her room and then at her.

"I'm not ready." I say.

"Ok we can start next time, our time is almost up anyway." She says.

"Ok" I get up and follow her out.  I'm glad I don't have to talk about it today... but I'm coming again later this week.  Then I will.

I scheduled my next appointment and then we leave.

"How was it?" Aunt Jennah asks when we are in the car.

"It was really hard.  I couldn't talk about it.  She said I could wait till next time.  I just- It is really hard to talk about.  I don't even like to think about it." I said.

I can't forget.
