There was a knock on the door.

"Come in"

A nurse walked into my office holding a file and damn, it was huge, I wondered how she held it.

Walking to the table, she placed the file.

"Dr. Williams said to deliver this to you" she said

Xavier Gonzalez file....well it came in later than expected

"Thank you" I said dismissing the nurse as she walked out of the room.

"Dan that will be all," I said to the man seated in front of me "you'll be getting your letter soon"

"Thank you doctor, you're really the best."

He said as he walked out of the room leaving me to stare at the file.

***********

"Nova" the sound of my name brought me back from my thoughts.

Looking up from the file, in front of me I saw my best friend looking down at me, her red hair vibrant as always.

"Hey, Zoey" I greeted her

"You don't have plans on leaving this place, do you?" She ignored my greeting…typical

"What's the time?" I asked as a yawn escaped my mouth. I didn't even realize how tired I was.

"Hours past your closing hour" she said

"What?!!" I exclaimed. I looked towards the window, noticing how dark it had gotten.

"How did it get dark so fast" I asked as I turned my attention to Zoey.

She ignored my question as she eyed the file in front of me.

"Is that Xavier Gonzalez file?" She questioned as she sat on the seat in front of me.

I nodded as I flipped through another page.

"What does it say?" She asked

"What doesn't it say" I retorted

"That bad, hmm?" She murmured

"This guy is literally the devil himself, he's committed crime within and beyond the human imagination." I say as my eyes skimmed through the page I was on.

"Imagining using human hearts as decorations, joining each one and hanging them from one wall to another like Christmas light"

"Jesus Christ!" Zoey exclaimed

"Just reading this file makes me want to spend the rest of my life puking." I admitted

"So when does he get admitted?" She asked

"Probably in a week or less" I estimated

"I wonder what things are going to be like" me too....

"Well from what I know and from what this record says he'll be restrained most if not through out the time he's here" I assured

The more I read about this man, the more I'm beginning to realize how intense things are about to get.

So closing the file for the day, Zoey and I made our way back to our apartment.

Through out the way Zoey kept gushing on and on about this guy she met when she went shopping yesterday and how her womb has been getting ready to have his children.

And I wonder how my ear hasn't fallen off.

But I was glad for the distraction cause my mind kept wandering to Xavier and all the things he has done and will do.

Few days from now I'll be his personal psychiatrist and nothing will make me ready for that.

Few days later.....

"So he's coming in today..."

"I gave in my resignation letter earlier, I didn't come to work here just to die..."

"I heard she's his doctor..."

"She'll be dead before she even gives him his first prescription..."

"She's already dead meat..."

The hospital was strangely full today and as I made my way into the building I could hear the conversation different people were having, saying all sorts of things.

I wonder if they knew I could hear them.

It didn't bother me mostly because I had other pressing matters at hand.

So blocking them out I made my way to the front desk.

"Zoey, what's up" I asked wanting to confirm what I already knew was true.

"He's coming in today....Xavier Gonzalez is coming in today."

And just as she said those words the door was pushed open and in walked two muscled men using their strength to restrain a man I bet was Xavier Gonzalez.

He was bare chested, tattoo covering every inch of his well sculpted body and looking down he wore black sweats and was bare foot.

Looking back up to his face I noticed the way his eyes swept across the whole room before they landed on me. Piercing blue eyes net my hazel eyes and in that moment there and then I realized I made the biggest mistake of my life.

With that I looked away and made a beeline to my office closing the door behind me.

I leaned against it and tried calming my already racing heart.

What was I thinking? How did I think I could do this, just a look from him has me already regretting my decision for studying this course in the first place.
I couldn't do it. Now he knows I'm terrified of him.

A loud banging on my door had my heart beat increase again.

Looking at the small hole on the door I was met with Zoey's worried face.

So taking in deep breaths trying to calm my erratic heart, I opened the door.

"Nova," she called as she let herself into my office.

"Are you okay?" She asked

She was worried. She wasn't supposed to be

"Uh, I just needed a moment." I said wanting to ease her sorry.

But being my best friend she knew what was wrong but instead of saying anything, she pulled me into her arms.

"I could talk to Dr. Williams." She suggested

I withdrew from the hug, still letting my hands hold her arm.

"No Zoey, I'm not backing down from this. I'm going to do what I'm suppose to do." I told her

"I'm going to be Xavier Gonzales psychiatrist."
