Why do you think you do that?” Haylee steps back “I do that to releavestress that comes with loving Him.” “Haylee, you need toleave him. All he is going to do is harm you farther.” Haylee looks at him angry “If you really wanted tohelp, you would accept my love for Daniel and be a friend” Haylee walks away anddaniel just watches her leave. Act 3: Scene 4 Shows Nathaniel walkingthrough buss hall was Daniel is slowly catching up to him frombehind. Nathaniel see’s him andspeeds up slightly, trying to stay unseen.

Allyou have to do is fill out the information on this paper and we canstart our session” Sanria slids him a paperwith a pen on it (paper is saved on a file) Nathaniel looks it throughand decides that it is best to sign the paper and be on with it Nathnaiel looks up afterhanding the signed paper to the therapist Sanira looks at him “Instead of asking you alot of “form questions,“ I will give you an intake form and alonger agreement form to complete at home and bring back to your nextcounseling session.” Nathaniel looks at him “What kind of Form? Whatwill it ask?” “Basically its just apaper with basic information, like you birth date, birth fater andbirth mother, that kind of things.” Nathaniel crosses his arms “I don’t want to behere…” “I got that feeling fromyou, just remember I am here to help, you can talk to me” Nathaniel looks down There is a long silence(time amount can be chosen by Mr. Wiggins while acting) “Do you mind telling meabout your childhood?” Nathaniel slightlylaughs “My child hood…” There is a pause “Lets say I was a verylonely kid.” “Why is that?” Nathaniel sighs “My father would alwayscheat on my mother and break her heart constantly” Sanria began to write on anotepad in his hands “Do you feel that thiswas the spark of your aggression?” “What aggression are youtalking about?” Sanria began flippingthrough his notepad until he stopped and said “here it is” “You mother said thatyou had shown signs of aggression toward your father, before theincident the past week. Do you feel your father’s death had broughtsome kind of emotion out of you that you have a hard time dealingwith?” nathaniel layed back inhis chair “Its not the person thatI was sad about losing, it’s the fact that I lost the closest thingto a father figure I had to some random person on the street.” “Did you love yourfather?” Sanria asked while writing stuff down on his notepad “I did not, he caused somuch pain in my life that I do not love him. The person that Iconsidered my father, was my uncle and he moved to Kentucky so I feelalone.” “Would you say you feeldepressed?” “Im saying that I do notwant to be here, I am only here to stay out of trouble at home. May Igo now?” Sanria began writing inhis notepad and turned around and started typing on his computer.When he turned back around he looked at Nathaniel. “We still have another20 minutes here, you can go to the break room and have a snack untilyour mother gets here, I have no right to keep you here.” Nathaniel gets up andleave the room without saying a word.
