Chapter 3

*10 months later*

{Adrian's P.O.V}

I followed Dr. Thuddy, to her office. Her heels clacked rhythmically against the floor. My gaze wandered around observing and absorbing my surroundings.

I tried not to look at the different people I passed fearing I'd weird them out from staring. All the surrounding white made my head hurt. I know this is a psychiatric hospital but I think personally a little color here and there wouldn't hurt.

The clacking abruptly stopped and I ran into her back. Honestly I had forgotten I was still following Thuddy. She wasn't making much conversation.

"Watch where you are going Mr. Smith," she said firmly and straightened up. She casually unlocked the door to her office and stepped in expecting me to keep following.

My fingers brushed over the name plate outside her door. Dr. Storm Thuddy, was carved carefully on the cool metal sign. Someday I'll be an accomplished psychologist just like her.

The smell of leather and books greeted me as I stepped in, a smell that I actually quite like. It was such an honor to be here, excitement knotted in my gut as I sat down in front of her desk. Being her apprentice was an absolute honor, an honor every almost-psychologist in college wants to have. She is the best around and I get to be trained by her. Yes! I'm so happy I could die, but I won't because I would lose this awesome opportunity!

"So Mr. Smith did you look over the packet I had sent to you last week?" she asked, I nodded quickly, of course I wouldn't risk being unprepared. She sent me a packet to see which case of the ones she offered I would like to oversee. So in short she's giving me a patient of hers to take over! My first psychologist job! She will still be checking over my notes and stuff but the patient is all mine.

"Yes I did," I looked through the papers in my backpack and pulled out the sheet from the pack that said one of the patients on it. Me being the brown nosing show off I am, I picked one of the hardest cases mainly to impress of course.

"You picked Carter Willows?" she asked incredulously looking at me either intrigued or surprised either way it was accompanied by a small smile. "Yes I did, his case seemed the most interesting," they hadn't gotten to boy to say anything since he's been here or in the hospital. Seems just challenging enough to keep me interested.

"Well have fun trying to break through is carefully crafted exterior and to make him speak. If u can u will b the first of many to try," she handed me a map of the place with his room circled. Wait I have to start today!? I figured it would be tomorrow, I'm so unprepared! But despite my doubts I smiled proudly and left her office to walk down the long white and cold corridors.

I turned that damn map upside down and backwards but I couldn't make damn heads or tails of it. I'm not a frigging neuro-rocket-scientologist how the hell do I read it?! I managed to read Mr.Willows's room was number 323. Well I'll just find it myself I have an imaginary gps and it shall guide me.

It took me half a damn hour to find the elevator to take me to the third floor. I sighed audibly, Ohh look another white wall like I haven't seen a million of them already. And just randomly I found myself flying towards the floor I barely caught myself! I could have hurt my face! "What the hell," I muttered and sat up to see what had tried to break me.

When I turned around I saw what had to be the cutest little boy ever. He looked at me and brushed his ebony hair out of his eyes. "Mister I'm sorry I didn't mean to!" he jumps up and runs over to me and tries to help me up even though he's way to little to do anything. Awwww I feel like such a pedo right now but he's so cute.

"Please don't tell them that I was out here and that I tripped u, I didn't mean to," the boy rambled his big blue eyes sparkled with tears out of fear of getting told on. I kneeled and mussed his hair. "It's ok I'm not going to tell, don't be sad," he wiped his eyes with the back of his hands and smiled.

"Thank you mister," his smile brightened.

"You're welcome, what's your name?"

"My name is Alec, I'm four," Alec proudly stated and held up four fingers, awe. I couldn't help but smile at his sheer adorableness. "Oh and this is Victor," I looked around confused for a moment until he gestured to the empty space beside him.

"Well it's nice to meet you too Victor, how old are you?" To be honest I felt a little odd talking to an imaginary friend but whatever floats his boat.

"He said he's four too just like me,"

"How long have you two known each other?"

"Maybe a month before I came here I think that was a year ago. Mommy said I'm sick but the doctors will take care of me and when I'm all better me and Victor get to go home!" Alec sounded so ecstatic about the last part it would kill me to tell him that unless he stopped talking to "Victor" he wouldn't be going home.

"Well Alec do you and Victor know where room 323 is?" he nodded vigorously in response to my question. "Can you lead me there please?"

"Uh huh," suddenly I was being pulled in a new direction.

"So what's your name mister?"

"I'm Adrian I'm gonna be one of the doctors here in a couple years."

"Wow I wanna be superman when I grow up and Victor wants to be batman."

"That sounds like a good plan you better visit me when you become superman." Alec giggled loudly.

"Of course I will you're my friend," We stopped in front of a room with 323 on the plate on the door.

"Well this is my stop, but I'll visit you tomorrow ok buddy?"

"Ok bye bye," just like that he ran down the hall and disappeared from sight. Wow he knows this place well he must've been here for awhile.

I walked in cautiously after knocking. There wasn't much in the small room a cup filled with various items like a pencil and safety scissors and maybe some markers. Sitting on a desk with a pile of magazines and a pile of books.

"Carter Willows?" A blonde boy sitting on the bed leaning against the headboard looked up from a book he had been previously engaged in. Ooh I like this one he looks sexy I've got a thing for blondes, not that I'm ever going to mention that to him.

"Are you Carter?" he nodded slowly probably because I'm a stranger just walking in and asking his name like a freak.

"Well my name is Adrian Smith, and I'm your new doctor." I smiled brightly hoping I wouldn't look crazy. He barely spared me a glance before sticking his nose back in that damn book. I want attention! Without wasting a moment more I sat down on the edge of his bed very gracefully and smacked the book out of his hands. He looked at me like I had just thrown a unicorn at him.

Well maybe if he had paid attention in the first place I would've left his book alone. But no you do NOT ignore Adrian Smith, helllll no it don't work that way.

"I don't even get a hello Mr. Adrian nice to meet you or even a aye sexy?" I questioned and threw his book on his desk knocking his pile of books over. Oops that wasn't intended. Carter jumped and glared at me.

"It was an accident I'm sorryyyyy Carter," no response from him, of course I'm gonna get this boy to say something to me if it's the last thing I do.

"Do you think I'm awesome?" he shook his head no quickly. Awh that hurt how dare he. "Quick to say no, you would be surprised at my epicness," he rolled his eyes. "So why are you in here?" his hazel eyes broke contact and he shrugged. So obviously he knows he just doesn't want to tell. His arms crossed across his chest defensively too.

"Ok if you not say so," I'm going to enjoy cracking this one. I wonder why he won't talk to anybody? Well I'm sure as hell going to figure out.
