Living Crazy Chapter 4 When I wake up Alex is gone. I look around and he is no where to be found. Maybe he went for lunch or something. I gather my things and leave the room. When I get to my room the lady with the orange hair is there. "we need to give you your medicine" she says smiling. I nod and sit on my bed giving her my arm. "I heard you've been talking to Dr. Alexander?" she ask. I nod again. "that's good sweetie. Getting somewhere." she smiles at me. She gets the needle ready and injects me with some green liquid. God knows what it is. "okay. All done" she says taking it out of my arm. "next on your schedule is...." she looks down it. "dinner" she says. Dinner. What? It was only lunch when I went to sleep. "you and Dr. Alexander must have talked a lot today to keep you from all your other chores" she says walking out. Well. Dinner it is. I walk into the cafeteria and sit down with my food at the table I had sat at today at lunch. Soon Sam and Kali walk over "guess Kali didn't scare you off today" says Sam with a smile. Kali laughs and punches him "I'm not that bad" she says blushing at the ground. "so what's your name since you'll be sitting her more often now?" I think about these two. So far I've liked them and they seem to like me. I guess I can talk to them. They don't seem like a threat. "I'm Ariel" I say softly taking a sip of my soup. "that's a pretty name. Better than Kali" Sam jokes. Kali punches him in his chest. "way better than Sam" she says. "you cant use the same basic comeback Kali" Sam says with so much duh in his voice. "yeah. Well.... Your mom" she says seriously. "is that all you've got?" ask Sam. "whatever" she says looking angry and starting to eat her food. I smile at them. How they act and fight but yet still must love each other. "so Ariel why are you here?" he ask. Kali still mad she finally turns her attention to us. "uh. I'm not supposed to say anything" I begin to finish my food and so does Sam and Kali. "Ariel Sarrenta to Dr. Alexander's office please" I hear it over the over-com in the cafeteria. "well bye guys" I say as I stand up to leave. They both say goodbye and begin to argue about if the soup is salty or not. I smile dumping my tray and continuing down the hall to Alex's room. I open the door and see him sitting down looking up at me. "come here" he says smiling. I walk over and sit in the chair beside him. He smiles at me. "what?" I ask. He laughs at bit "I'm sorry about leaving you this morning. I just... I was informed my mom... She..." he chokes up a bit. "she didn't die of natural causes. She... Was killed. The government wont admit to it but we know what they've done" he says tearing up a bit. I move over beside him and sit on his lap. "listen. I think me and you should just not talk anymore. I can just get a new therapist and just avoid you. I've done this to your mother. Its all my fault" He doesn't say anything and I realize he agrees. I tear up and begin to cry a little. I stand up and walk towards the door. "wait. No. Don't go" he says I continue anyways. We shouldn't be together. At all. I reach the door about to touch the handle when he grabs me by the waist and spins me around. "I don't think you understand." he says backing me up against the door with his arms on both sides of me to where I can't move away from him. "I don't have anyone left. No one. Not a single person. You know how that feels. It doesn't feel too good does it? That's why we need each other. Because neither of us have anyone" It hits me that he is right. Everything we've ever had has been taken. My mother. My brother. My best friends. And most of all Kadence. Every single one of them missing or dead. Nothing to show except the governments letter of sorrys and that each month I could receive little money. "Ariel. I'm not scared of you. Stop pretending your an omen or something. Your wonderful." I start to cry and slid down the wall to sit on the floor. I bury my head in my arms and sob. He kneels down in front of me and raises my face with my chin. "listen to me. Stop crying and feeling sorry for yourself. You can have anything you want. The government can't get rid of you. You are the only thing they have left of that day. If they know what's good for them they can't do anything to you" He's right they can't. "but Kadence" I say in between sobs. "Ariel. He's probably dead. All unheard after they took him was bad." he says feeling sorry. But he doesn't sound too upset. "Alex. You don't understand. I can't just assume. I need to know. For sure. Is he alive. Or no." I say standing up. "and until I figure that out, we can't do anything else. No romance. No kiss. No hugging. Just you as my therapist. Nothing more" I say walking out the door leaving him with no goodbye.
