Livvie couldn�t believe she was stuck there with �loonies�. She just sat in her chair, never talking to anyone.
�Alright Livvie, it�s time to see the doctor,� Livvie stopped her study of the other patients to look up at the nurse.
�I�m not going. I don�t need a shrink. Shrinks are for crazy people, like bug woman over there,� Livvie pointed to the woman she was watching who just started screaming again.
�No arguments Miss Locke. If you don�t go now you can stay here and join the group session that�s about to begin. It�s up to you. You know in the doctor�s office you don�t have tosit and listen to the other patients.�
�FINE!!! I�m going.�
~~~~~~~~
Livvie strolled into the doctor�s office with the biggest chip on her shoulder and sat down in a chair in the corner of the office.
The doctor sat in his chair reading Livvie�s file. He put the file down and walked around to the front of his desk, �Hi Livvie. Can I call you Livvie?�
Livvie shrugged her shoulders, �It�s my name.�
�Ok, I�ll take that as a yes. I�m Dr. Ed Grant. I�m filling in for Dr. Armstrong today.�
Ed turned around to pick up Livvie�s file from his desk, �So I�ve been reading your file, I have to say you�re quite a girl.�
Livvie didn�t say a word. She first sat in the chair playing with a loose thread on her pants.
�Why don�t you tell me why you�re in here, Livvie?�
She answered his question without looking up from her strand of cotton that held her attention, �Cause my father thinks I�m crazy like my mother and his brother.�
�And what do you think?�
�What I think!?� She stood up and walked to chair closer to the desk, �What I think?!! No I don�t think, I know. He put me in here because he doesn�t care about me,� Livvie plopped herself down in the leather covered chair in front of Ed, �Never did!�
Ed turned around and sat down in a chair next to Livvie, �Alright, We�ll get to that. But first, why don�t you tell me about Livvie.�
�I�m not crazy!!�
�No I mean why don�t you tell me about your life.�
�What�s to tell? I grew up without my father that cares soooo much. Then, well let me see, I was under the spell of a vampire that was obsessed with me. Then after I saved the whole town from him I was happy for awhile. Yeah I was happy until that bitch, Alison took my husband, made me lose my baby and then convinced everyone I was crazy. That�s when my so-called loving father sent me to this hell-hole.�
�Ok, you said you were happy for awhile. Tell me about that, tell me why you were happy.�
�I had everything! My father, my friends and the greatest man!
�Your husband?�
�NO! I�m not talking about that ass.�
�Who then? Who was this great guy?�
�It doesn�t matter now!�
�Ok! Then why don�t you tell me about your friends.�
�You mean ex-friends!�
�What happened with them, Livvie?�
�Oh, it all started when,� Livvie held up her hands and made quotation marks in the air, �My friend, Alison killed my father.�
�Wait! I thought you said your father brought you here.�
�He did!�
�So Alison didn�t kill your father!�
�Well�.no!�
�Alright! So what happened after you thought she killed your father?�
�I tried to tell everyone but no one would believe me.�
�That must have really hurt, everyone siding with the person you thought murdered your father.�
Livvie�s attitude perked up. Someone finally saw what she had to deal with, �Yes!! It really hurt! My friends and family, even my step-mother sided with Alison.�
�With no one believing you what did you do?�
�Well, the only thing I could do, I helped the investigation a little.�
�Did that help?�
�No! Everyone still thought Alison was the perfect little angel.�
�That must have been awful. How did that make you feel?�
�Mad as hell!�
�When you started feeling that way what did you do?�
�I lot of things but mainly I found Rafe�..�
�And��?�
�And I made him marry me.� A smile grin grew on Livvie�s face.
�Did he love you?�
�No!�
�Did you love him?�
�No!�
�Then why marry him?�
�I wanted Alison to hurt like she hurt me.�
�Did she?�
�Oh yeah!� Livvie�s smile grew even bigger.
�Ok well, let�s recap everything you just said��
�You were happy. Then you thought your best friend killed your father, which she didn�t. So you married a man that never loved you and lost your best friend and I�m presuming you lost that great guy you had too. Is that right?�
�Um��well�..um�..Oh my god!� Livvie�s smile turned into a look of shock.
�Is something wrong, Livvie?�
�I�I did this. Oh my god! What did I do?� A buzzer went off and Ed went behind his desk and turned it off.
�I�m sorry, times up.� Ed sat down behind the desk.
Livvie jumped out of her seat and ran to the front of the desk, �No!! It can�t be. You have to help me.�
Ed started writing in her file, �I�m sorry. We�ll talk more next time.�
�Screw next time. I need your help now�Please!� Ed looked up to see the look of desperation on Livvie�s face.
�Doctor, please tell me, how do I get it all back?�
�I can�t answer that for you, only you can. BUT�I will tell you this, a band-aide can�t fix a broken arm. You have to set the arm back in place before it can heal properly.�
