Me, My Shrink And Lisa

Session eleven: Don't do that! Nooo!

– So, Lisa has returned, hasn't she?

– Is that so obvious?

– A little.

– Oliver did too, you know

– I do now. Are things improving?

–A little? No...

– What happened?

– She told me Theo tried to rape her.

– Is she okay?

– Getting there...

– Are you okay?

– Should it matter now?

– Answer my question.

– I'm fine.

– Is there anything left to be told?

– Maybe...

– What?

– Why my family suddenly stopped caring about me...

"You can't run away from this Noah."

"I'm not running away from this Jason, I'm walking away from you."

"Noah, stop!" – I stopped and turned to him – "Talk to me."

"I don't want to talk to you."

"Noah, come on."

"What do you want from me?"

"I want to know why you tried to kill yourself!" – I looked away – "Look at me!"

I looked back at him.

"Listen, I don't need you to worry." – I said – "After you abandoned us, me, I... I was a wreck. I'm not saying I'm better now, no. I'm a lot worse but, you were my brother!"

"I'm still your brother, Noah."

"No, you aren't Jason. I erased you from my life that day."

– Which day, Noah?

– The day he left us to do drugs and abandoned me when I was on my first weeks of getting bullied and he knew. He was my best friend and I tried to help him but... It was in vain...

– Is he clean now?

– I guess.

"I've changed Noah. I'm sorry for what I did but I've changed."

"Good for you. Can I go now?" – I turned around and started to walk away.

"Let me help you!"

"Do whatever you want Jason but stay away from me!"

When I got home, to my room, my mother knocked the door.

"Noah?"

"Mom?"

"Can I come in?"

"Sure..."

She opened the door and closed behind her.

"Jason... Jason just called me..." – She said and sat on my bed – "Do you think you have something to explain?"

"No."

"Noah."

"I don't think I have something to explain."

"Okay, so what happened on the boat? You don't think you have to explain that too?"
