Possessed- MY FIRST APPOINTMENT - (Story)-8

 'How is this possible? I...' I had no courage to complete the sentence.

'Why'd you stop? Complete it! You killed me.'

'I didn't intend to. I was not knowing what to do...'

'So you killed me,' interrupted Rodrigo.

'Look I'm really sorry.'

'Your sorry won't bring my life back.'

'I am trying to figure something out. We will find a way to get back to our respective bodies.'

'Give me one reason to trust you.'

'With whom are you talking,' interrupted Mrs. Baker. I looked and realized Rodrigo has disappeared. 

'Umm... No one.'

'Come sit in the car. I took an off for your first appointment.'

I was sitting on the couch. The room was quite impressive. It had an collection on antique stuff. Soon the door opened and a man who was not so young came. He had some white hair and was wearing simple pant and shirt with sleeves rolled up.

He sat in his well cushioned chair and asked, 'How are you doing Rodrigo?'

Suddenly I heard his voice in my head. 'Tell him! Tell how you took my heart with your bare hands.'

'Can you please leave me alone? How the hell you came here?'

'By the door maybe,' said the doctor who wasn't expecting this answer.

I ignored him and waited for Rodrigo to answer. His voice came again more prominent this time, 'I was always there in you. But you were so lost in your anger an regrets that you weren't able to hear me.'

'It wasn't my mistake. Believe me I'll fix everything,' I apologized.

The doctor didn't say anything. He was observing my behavior patiently. 

'Why do you get to live?'

'Please leave me alone,' I shouted louder.

'Give me my body back and I'll leave you.'

I couldn't handle this anymore. I wanted air, I was suffocating. Seeing me struggling for breath doctor took me outside.

We were walking together not saying a word for few minutes. I was trying to digest the stuff that happened.

After I got enough air to relax my mind doctor asked, 'So who was it you were talking to?'

'I don't know,' I said hoping to end the conversation.

                                                                                                        ***

I survived the session. Somehow I convinced Mrs. Baker to allow me to leave the house at evening. It was important to meet Catherine. 

I rode the bike to her house and rang the bell. It was her mother. 

'Is Catherine home?' I asked.

'No she is out. Who are you?'

'I'm... Never mind.'

I didn't know how to explain all it to her. I rode my bike again. Where could she go? She was always at her home during this hour.

I was in no mood to go back. Rodrigo has finally gone somewhere and left me alone. That memory of dying was still freaking me out. So I decided to face it.

I rode to the same coffee shop. It was closed and the place where the car crashed has been cleaned like nothing happened. I was missing mom and dad.

I parked my bike and stood at the place where it crashed. 

'You've to end it for good,' I remembered Mr. Cocoa words. All this is so messed up.

Suddenly I heard some footsteps approaching...
