Serene Collision

Chapter2: Dr.Jones

"What is she doing here?" Leo glared at his therapist.

"She's my patient Leo." Dr. Jones pinched the bridge of his nose and squeenched his eyes.He was a considerably young man but the stress of his job had really seemed to be taking a toll on him lately.

"Wyatt if you invited him here for me to apologize I'll gladly commit sekkapu." Carmin seethed through her teeth.

"Carmin, how many times do I have to tell you not to address me by my first name?" The therapist sighed.

"Can we just get this meeting over with? Someone decided to interrupt my morning nap. I'm ready to go home and sleep."

"I'm going first." The dark skinned girl insisted, not wanting Leo to convince the Doctor to join his side before she could.

"Leo wait out here, we won't be long." Dr. Jones pointed to one of the cushioned chairs.

"Absolutely not." Leo clenched his jaw. "I'm going first."

"Let's not be kids about this."

"Wyatt if you don't take me first I'll slit my wrist right here. Right now." Carmin was not about to back down.

"Like anyone would give a damn." Leo scowled. "If you don't take me first everyone in this building will be burned to a fucking crisp."

Carmin moved in closer, determined to win the verbal argument. "If you don't take me first I-"

"That's enough." Dr. Jones stood between the two of them. "Carmin go and have a seat." He made sure to keep his hands firmly beside his side as he spoke, knowing physical contact would make matters worse.

This caught Leo's eye.

"You sai-"

"Your Uncle wouldn't want you getting into trouble for the second time today."

Carmin sent one last glare towards Leo before returning to her seat. The therapist knew her uncle was her weakness and she hated him for it.

"That fucking twit sat next to me. Then she played her loud music."

Dr. Jones adjusted his glasses and cleared his throat."Did you maybe think to....I don't know calmly ask her to turn her music off."

"No. It was her own fault. Everyone assumes I'm not right. So everyone knows not to sit next to me. If she had followed the rules there wouldn't have been a problem."

"Everyone assumes you're not right?"

"Yes assume."

"Are their assumptions correct Leo?"

"I wouldn't be here if they weren't."

"How about we try to focus on the positives here."

"Yea, good thing security came before I could beat the-

"No. You actually talked to someone. That's a step forward."

Leo cocked his head back and raised his eyebrow, as a subtle realization washed over him."What's wrong with her?"

"What do you mean what's wrong with her?" Dr. Jones narrowed his eyes.

"Well she's obviously not right if she has to see you. She's a strange one. Got all psycho when the teacher touched her. I'm surprised she didn't murder me for holding her fist for so long."

"Leo you're awfully observant for someone that's not right."

"Doesn't take a genius to notice. You kept your hands to your side the entire time you talked to her."
