I am sitting in class when my phone vibrates. I check it and it's Dr. Raymos. He is the therapist I called like a month ago.
"Tio." I said. (Uncle) Wes looked at me.
"Yea Alejandra? "
"My mom's calling. "
"Step into the Hall. Don't leave. "
"sí tío querido. " He glares I hold my hands up in surrender. (Yes uncle dearest) I walk into the hallway and answer the phone.
(Dr=Dr raymos a=Alejandra)
A: hello
Dr:Hello. May I talk to Alejandra please?
A: this is she.
Dr:I am calling because I have an opening this morning . Let's say 11ish
A: is there anything later
Dr: I am afraid not.
A: ok umm
Dr: if you can make it I can find some other time next month maybe.
A: no ill make it but I'll have to move my schedule around
Dr: ok like I said 11ish you can come early to sign in but I recommend only five minutes.
A: ok thank you.
Dr: your welcome I will see you later.
We hang up and I sigh. How am I gunna get out of here.
"That didn't sound like you were talking to your mom. " I jump and turn around. I see Wes and Blake standing there with their arms crossed. I am about the same hight as them with my heels on.
"I was. "
"You can stop lying. "Blake said.
" Who were you talking to? "Wes asked.
" I can't tell you. "I said.
" Why the hell not? "Blake said.
" Because it's personal. "
"Personal my ass. " He said.
"You really want to know? It was the therapist I called last month. He said there was an opening for me at 11. Me knowing that I have to stay at school wanted to say no, but he won't have another opening until next month. I had to take it! " I shouted.
"Woah calm down. " Wes said.
"Why should I? They're the ones that called me a self absorbed bitch! " I spat gritting my teeth.
"We didn't even day that. " Blake exclaimed.
"Your right. You didn't. I asked you a question and every single one of you stayed silent. "
"Does this have to do with your cuts and bruises? " He asked I seen people starting to walk out of they're classes to watch the scene unfold.
"Yes it does. Me and jess got into a fight at 4 o'clock in the morning. My living room is trashed. I woke up to yelling. It was Jess and Hanna then I went in there to try and stop it because everyone was asleep. She turned on me we started saying a bunch of shit. Then we were fighting. After I was pulled off of her I kicked her out. "
"Where were your parents? "
"I have my own two floors at home so they don't know what happened. Jess asked everyone to meet and talk but I have an appointment. "I said. I was such a drama quenn. I realised that by the way I was standing and talking.
" Where does this question stand? "Blake has been awfully quiet.
" Jess said that I was a self absorbed demanding bitch. That really got to me because looking over the years I am. I asked everyone but they stayed silent. That's when I know it was true. I was up all night after that. "I said.
" Ali I'm sorry. "Blake tries to say but I cut him off.
" I don't want your apology. You, most of all, were here for me since we were babies. When you stayed silent it hurt me. You will have to work to gain my forgiveness. Or even for me to talk to you. ALRIGHT IF ANY OF YOU SEE MY FRIENDS, TELL THEM TO COME TO MY HOUSE AND GET THEIR SHIT. I WANT THEM OUT OF MY HOUSE. "I yelled.
" Will you tell my dad that I'm at the doctors please? "I ask Wes. He nods. I walk away. I swear I am not going to graduate with how much school in missing. Even worse is my birthday. It's in a couple weeks and I may have no friends to celebrate with. I swipe my card to get out of the school and head to the Escalade. I get in and head to the doc.

" Hello Alejandra. "
"Hello Dr."
"So, what seems to be the problem? "
"Family, friends. School sometimes. My father just came into my life after 14 years. "
"Tell me about that. "
"I was at home with my boyfriend. I hear a knock at the door. We weren't expecting anyone because everyone was working and at school. My mom was home though. I open a door to see a man that looks a little like me. We talk I was shocked to say the least. Then my mom came to the door and she was shocked. Then I started to shake from anger and I passed out. When I woke up in the hospital they said it was from the lack of nutrition. "
"Hmm what else has happened. "
"I found out my 13 year old sister has a tumor. "
"Tell me about that. "
"I was at school and I got a call from the doctor that was taking care of my sister when she was in the hospital. "
"Why was she in the hospital? "
"She was with her friends and her friends parent was driving them somewhere when a drunk driver ran a light and crashed into their car. "
"Ok continue. "
"Ok so I got the call and went to her office because she didn't wanna tell me what she found over the phone. She told me that my sister had a tumor. It wasn't cancerous but if they didn't remove it it would become cancerous. "
"What about your family? What problems do you have there? " I sigh.
"Ever since my grandma died the family has been bad. I don't think they really mourned her death. I know I haven't. "
"What about your friends. "
"I fought with my best friend at 4 o'clock in the morning then I kicked her out. "
He kept asking questions and I kept talking. For over 2 hours. I cried and yelled. I threw my phone at the wall. It didn't break. Surprisingly considering I'mma pitcher for a softball team. Finally at 2: 15 I left. I scheduled another appointment next month. Now it's time to face my so called friends.
