"Just know that the more you talk about it, the better it'll settle." She informed him softly, Dr. Smith setting the papers aside and turning his gaze to Noah. "So, would you like to tell me what's going on, Noah?" He asked, gently, voice not demanding in the slightest bit. Emery looked over at Noah, eyes desperate. |

Noah felt like he was being interrogated with both of them staring at him, and it was stressing him out. "Um... I was in a car crash..." he replied. |
|
|
| |
|
Emery squeezed his hand in response, smiling just a smidge at him. Dr. Smith's persona dropped slightly as he winced silently, tossing another glance at Noah. "You're that Noah? I understand why you feel how you do now, saw the crash on the news and it looked terrible. We can do this at any pace you want, just take your time, only tell me things you're okay with me knowing." Smith explained, eyes quoting just the lightest sorrow and worry. |

"Can you please describe to me what's been bothering you lately? Again, it's completely fine if you don't want to tell me something, but the more you tell me, the better i'll help." Smith explained, voice still not commanding even a smidge. |
| |
|
| |
|
Noah swallowed thickly. "Well... I... I feel worthless... I can't walk, I can't paint... I just keep replaying the crash... and I-I..." |
|
|
| |
|
"Okay, let's put aside the list of can't's for now and focus more on well, you choose. Either what can you do? Or, why do you feel that way?" The doctor asked, Emery glancing at Noah before looking back down for a moment. |
| |
|
| |
|
"I cant do anything and I don't know why," |
|
|
| |
|
"No, that's not the best answer. Emery here has told me you haven't been eating or drinking lately, which you can infact do. You've been.....worrying her, that's why she brought you in. You can do a lot of things, Noah. All you have to do is look for them." |
| |
|
| |
|
"But those are the basic necessities, they aren't fun. Why should I do the basic things to live when I can't even do the things I want to do?" |
