Lost {Larry AU}

Chapter One

"Writer's block is like death." I told Dr. Bruner, "That's the only way I can comprehend the infernal thing!" I waved my hands about like a wild man. "Louis-" he tried to interrupt me but I continued with my spewing of words.

"Writer's block kills my ideas, like death kills the soul." I tugged at my long and unruly hair, I haven't cut it in a while, another thing to add to my list of things to be done before I go back into hiding.

"How can it be this hard?!" I scoffed obnoxiously before continuing. "I mean seriously-" I was cut off by a loud cough, causing me to jump slightly and look over to my therapist, he looked slightly aggravated by my ignoring him when he tried to speak out.

He cleared his throat. "Now Louis." 'Oh boy, here comes one of his rants about me giving up writing and try getting a real job blah blah blah' I think to myself as Dr. Bruner babbles on. "I think it would do you a lot of good son." He finished, I blinked at the balding man, I was too caught up in my own thoughts to bother paying attention to what he had to say. So being a mindless idiot I only nodded whilst pretending like I was going to take his words into consideration even though I ignored every one of them.

I think Dr. Bruner knew I ignored him because he sighed and shook his head slightly as if he was getting tired of seeing me. I couldn't blame him though, people often tell me I'm some sort of nut, a loon even. I can't help it if my mind tends to push into overdrive and cause me to strive more than other individuals. It also causes me sleepless nights and broken relationships, but who needs sleep and social interaction right?

"Louis, the only advice I can give you is to go to a coffee shop, order a beverage and wait for a cliche moment where you see one person and know you want to be with them forever." I scoffed at the doctor. "That's a little far fetched don't you think Doc?" I asked sarcastically. He shrugged and closed the files on his desk.

"I've tried to give you advice Louis, now all I can do is tell you to wait for something to happen in your life. Go on a vacation, get some sun, you could use a tan." He looked me up and down before pushing away from his desk. "I can't just pack up go away." I felt nauseous at the thought of going somewhere new.

"And why can't you?" He asked, I gaped at him. "Because... Because..." I wracked my brain for any reason other than fear. "Because what? Louis, you don't have any family or anything tying you down." Oh well that stings, thanks for reminding me. "Thanks for reminding me that I'm alone." I grumbled, Dr. Bruner moved around his desk and sat on it.

"Listen Louis, I want to give you some homework. I want you to go somewhere, anywhere." He shrugged, I only nodded. "I can't make any promises." I told him, he shook his head. "No, you don't have a choice," He spoke sternly, I gazed up at him. "You are going to go somewhere, take the money you made from your best sellers and go." He stood up and put on his blazer before grabbing his briefcase. "Now, if you'll excuse me I need to go to my daughters' play, she's going to be a sun flower." He told me.

I stood up and grabbed my hoodie, I slipped it on. "Well I guess I'll go home and pout." I grouched. "Louis none of that, buy a plane ticket, go somewhere, for God's sake, meet new people." And with that he pushed me out of his office and sent me on my way home.
