Stories From Therapy

After breakfast, Constantin, Eckhart, Bellatrix, Brian, and Laura had to go to arts and crafts. My group had down time for about two hours, until we go to Arts and crafts. I sat in my corner again, just looking down at the busy people down below. My daze was interrupted by someone clearing their throat in front of me. I looked up to see that Andy was standing above me. "May I?" he asked, wanting to sit next to me. I nodded my head, letting him know that I was okay with him sitting there. He smoothly sat down, looking at me. I could tell that he was trying to figure me out. Good luck buddy. Not even Constantin has me figured out, and he has known me longer. "So. Why are you here?" He asked softly, trying to see if he was treading on unholy ground. I chuckled softly, shaking my head. I grabbed my notebook writing 'I don't tell just anyone.' He smiled sadly. "Are you mute?" He asked. This time, I didn't laugh. I looked down at the ground, then back at him. Should I trust this guy? He seems okay, but then again, so was dad before mom died. I nodded my head in shame. He smiled again, obviously happy that I answered instead shutting him out. "Hey, it's okay. I know what it's like to be mute. I was mute for most of my childhood. A whole seven years." He said softly. How do I know if he's lying? He's human like everyone else. I grabbed my notebook and wrote 'Why are you talking to me? You and Constantin are the only people who are willing to get anywhere near me....' He looked really sad at my question. "Well, when I saw you screaming, I could see loneliness in your eyes. I saw myself in you I guess. I thought that maybe I could make you less lonely." He said, looking down at his hands, then back at me. I looked into his eyes, trying to decide if he was lying, but I only saw truth in them. I sighed, debating on trusting him. I couldn't decide, so I just looked back down at the street below. He got the message and got up, leaving me alone. I sat there looking down at the street for ages. Why do I feel like trusting him?! I haven't even known him for a day! I knew Constantin for at least a year before I trusted him. This whole situation is so confusing.... "Aurora? Hello?" I heard Constantin's voice, so I turned towards him. "I haven't seen you this confused in a while. What's up?" He asked, sitting down next to me. I sighed softly. "That Andy kid." I muttered, staring at Andy as he sat around talking to Bellatrix and Altair. Constantin looked as well and chuckled softly. "Wow, he must have you seriously puzzled. I'm not getting any bad vibes from him, so I don't get what your being so defensive of." He said quietly. "Well, I really want to trust him, but at the same time, he seams too good to be true." I growled. Constantin looked at me with surprise on his face. "Damn! That's the most I have ever heard you say in one sentience! He must be the one!" He joked. I cat hissed at him, making everyone in the room look over curiously. Oh fuck off.... I got up from my corner, grabbing Andy so that I was dragging him as my group was called to Arts and crafts.

*time jump*

Nothing more eventful happened after that. I finally finished the stuffed bat that I was sewing, and Altair finished his bird house, or as he calls it, his un-dead bird house. Andy started work on a painting of Batman, which wasn't looking that bad. After that, we went to group session, which was boring as fuck as usual. Apparently, Andy is here because he has tried to kill himself over twenty times this year, and his parents couldn't keep an eye on him long enough to keep him from doing it again, which was a big surprise to me. He seems like such a happy guy. I wonder what else he's hiding underneath that happy mask he has on. I just sat on the chair, rocking back and fourth as everyone talked. "Hey psycho! How about you talk for a change!" I heard Laura say. What the fuck is her deal?! "Hey! How bout you just leave her alone, you fucking bitch!" I heard a deep voice hit back before Constantin could say anything. I looked up to see Andy standing up, about ready to launch himself at Laura. "Now now! We don't have to fight! Laura, keep your trap shut!" The therapist said sternly. Laura let out a brat like humf before she fell silent. Andy sat back down after that.
