I just wanted to get these key chapters out of the way.. but I feel like this book sucks. lol I'm sorry if you guys like it Let me know please.  I promise there are some more interactions with Killian and Andie coming up soon. Theres a tiny one in this chapter.. Idk I'm rambling. enjoy. 

Andie

When I woke up, I felt something that I hadn't felt in a while, and that was hope. I put a pot of coffee on and jumped in the shower. When I was done with the shower, I curled my hair and put on a little bit of makeup. It was probably a little too much to just go sit in the therapist's office, but it made me feel happy.

I walked out into the kitchen and poured my coffee into my travel mug and looked down at Balthazar.
"Today's the day." I said. He purred and rubbed against my legs in response and I sighed.
"I wonder if Doctor Hopper likes cats. I'll have to ask and then maybe you can come with me." I said. My eyes traveled to the envelope on the table that was still unopened and my mood dropped instantly.
"Or.. maybe I cancel and we stay home." I said.
Balthazar head butt my leg.
"Fine. I'll go." I sighed and closed my travel mug and grabbed my keys from the bowl on the counter. "Behave yourself while I'm gone. No crazy parties."

I left the apartment and made my way down the hall.
"Hey, Andie!" David said as he came out of his apartment.
"Oh.. Hi Sheriff?" I said. He chuckled.
"You can just call me David. I wanted to apologize about our run in yesterday. I didn't mean to startle you."
"OH, its okay really. I'm easily startled." I half smiled and tucked my hair behind my ear.
"Hey, listen if you ever need anything just come knock on the door, if you can't for whatever reason, here is my phone number." offered and handed me a piece of paper which I tucked in my purse.
"Storybrooke is a pretty safe place, but of course if there were no crime I wouldn't have a job." He smiled.
"No, I suppose not." I chuckled.
"Also I know maybe Killian hasn't been so nice to you."
"That's.. Kind of an understatement." I mumbled.
"He's a good guy, he's just had a tough year. After Milah he started drinking heavily and he completely disconnected himself from everyone until recently, He's starting to get back to himself, so don't let what he says bother you, he's not the man he used to be but he's getting there, slowly."
"Sure." I nodded and smiled. "Well I have to go I have an appointment this morning. Maybe i'll see you later?"
"Sure." David nodded. "Drive safe."
"Oh, Always." I smirked and walked away and down the stairs to the lobby and out the door.
------------------------------------------

I paced back and forth outside of Dr. Hoppers office. I was early, and he was with someone else at the moment. Now that I was here, I was a hyperactive ball of anxiety. I knew Caffeine didn't really mix well with my medications but I also always seemed to forget that.
The door opened.
"Thank you Archie."
I froze in place not expecting that voice at all. I turned slowly to see Killian walking out of Doctor Hoppers office.
He looked at me and scoffed.
"What are you looking at?" he asked.
"What are you looking at?" I fired back.
"Good luck with this one Archie she's a wackadoodle." Killian mumbled and glared at me. "Wheres your cat?"
"He's home. He'd be so happy you asked about him." I said and shrugged.
"Killian, please don't call my other patients names." Archie sighed. "Come on in Andie." He said and smiled warmly at me.
I narrowed by eyes at Killian and bumped his shoulder as I walked past him and walked into the office. I looked over my shoulder as Killian just shook his head and left the building. I frowned thinking maybe I should apologize.
No, He was mean first Andie.. But what if he's just mean because of the Milah thing like David said? Maybe I should have been nicer..

"Andie?" Doctor Hopper said, breaking me from my thoughts. I looked at him.
"Oh.. Sorry." I said and sat down and looked around the room. It was spacious, and cozy at the same time. The furniture looked comfortable. There were various certificates and degrees hung up on the wall, which made me more comfortable. He seemed like a guy who knew what he was doing.

He sat down, but was perfectly fine with me wandering and scoping out the office. He quietly gathered some papers and just let me..be me. Which was a great first sign. Dr. John was nice, but he often got impatient with me. I made my way to the chair across from him and sat down, and figited a couple times before finally settling into a position that was comfortable.
"Good morning Andie." He smiled at me and then, like the idiot I was.. I froze. I just stared at him.

He kept his smile.
"I'm Doctor Archibald Hopper, you can call me Archie if you'd like, or just Dr. Hopper. I can see you're a little nervous and thats perfectly fine. Dr. John has excellent credentials. One of the best in Seattle in my opinion."
"He.. said you were the best here." I said quietly.
Archie chuckled.
"We are good friends. He sent over a lot of his notes from your sessions with him and we will get to those but today is mostly about me, getting to know you and you getting to know me, so you can be comfortable coming to see me. I'm just going to ask some questions to start they aren't going to be intense but if you feel unsure about how to answer, or you aren't comfortable answering that is just fine." he smiled.
I nodded. "Okay."
"And don't be afraid to ask me questions too. Anything you want to know about my experience, I'd be glad to answer for you."
I nodded again.
"So how long have you been in Storybrooke?" Archie asked.
"Almost a week now." I said. "Its..nice I like it much quieter than Seattle. I do miss the coffee though." I smiled.
"I imagine." Archie chuckled. "I see that you've already met some of its residents."
"Oh.. you mean Killian? He's a delight." I said sarcastically. "But.. I hear he's been through a rough year so I am trying my best to not be mean back to him.." I sighed.
"We all have rough times." Archie nodded. "And we all handle them differently. Have you had the chance to make any friends?"
"I don't..really do friends well but Mary-Margaret, the sheriff's wife, she is really nice. I was having an episode and she took me shopping so I could get things I needed and wouldn't have to go alone and We went to eat at Granny's and her friend who was the waitress asked if I wanted to go on their girls night. Well.. kind of she told me I should go which I think is asking. I'm sorry.. I'm rambling."
"Don't apologize, you're communicating." Archie smiled. "Do you plan on going to this girls night?"
"I don't know. I.. don't handle crowds very well. But Ruby seemed nice.. And I already know Mary-Margaret is but I'm not sure I'm comfortable with a girls night yet.."
"And its okay if you arent. You've only been here a week, and everyone is still strangers to you." He assured me

. "What do you like to spend your free time doing?" He asked next.
"I spend a lot of time at home. I don't really leave often. Even in Seattle. I watch TV sometimes, but most of the time I just read or listen to my music and talk to Balthazar."
"Who is Balthazar?" Archie asked.
"My Cat. He's actually officially my emotional support animal. I was going to bring him because I was nervous but I know not all public places allow emotional support animals and.. I didn't know how you felt about cats."
"I like animals and if Balthazar makes you feel more comfortable you are more than welcome to bring him." Archie smiled.
"Oh Great." I said and smiled.
"Is there anything else you like to do, outside of your home?" Archie asked.
"I like the beach. But.. I haven't been to the one here yet."
"Its very nice. I'm sure you'd like it." Archie suggested. "Its a little chilly right now for the beach however." He chuckled.
"Thats my favorite time to go. Theres no people.." I muttered and looked down at my hands.
"Oh, I apologize I certainly hope you don't think what I said was belittling." He said.
"No.. I didn't." I said and shook my head. "Its fine. Whats next?" I asked and looked back up at him.
He cleared his throat.
"I'd actually like to move on to asking about some things in your files from Dr. John. if that is okay?"
I nodded.
"Yeah. It is."
Archie looked down at his notes for a second before looking back up at me.
"I see that in the past you've struggled with self harm. Do you feel like you want to hurt yourself Andie?"

"Well.. not right now at this moment. But.. I haven't had a good year so I do think about it sometimes. But when I do.. Its like its not even me. I just get these voices in my head when I'm doing things. Like.. I could be cutting vegetables.. I suddenly think about cutting myself. Or.. driving in the car and I think about opening the door and jumping out. I don't really want to do these things I know I don't but sometimes the thoughts get really overwhelming." I sighed.
"Those are intrusive thoughts. They are common in people with your diagnoses' And while they can be alarming, the most important thing to remember is what you've just told me. You don't want to hurt yourself."
I nodded and half smiled. Archie looked back down at his notes.
"Did you see Dr. John about the troubles you were having this year?" He asked.
I shook my head.
"I.. erm..couldn't." I said and felt my fingernails digging into my jeans. Archie watched my closely.
"Andie if you are getting uncomfortable, we can continue another day. I don't want to overwhelm you."
"I..want to continue I just want to talk about something else." I said and rummaged through my purse. "Um Dr. John always asked me to bring my medications with me to my visits so I brought them here too.. If you wanted to see them." I said and fished out the ziplock back with medicine bottles in it and held it out to him. He smiled and took it and looked them over.
"Andrea Moore. Did you change your name recently?" He asked confused.
I froze. I forgot that, that last name was on those bottles.

Archie looked up at me. "Andie?" He asked. "Um. Yes. Well. kind of." I said and raked my fingers through my hair. "Legally its still Moore I've just been going by my maiden name.. Which is Baker. I prefer to go by that if thats okay.." "That is fine." He nodded. "Andie.. I want to ask you something and you don't by any means have to answer it today.. Or even on the next appointment if you don't want to." "Please.. Please do not ask about him." I said with my voice cracking. "I'm not ready." Archie nodded. "Then I wont. This is all on your terms Andie. At your own pace. So I will ask something else. Do you feel your medication is helping you?" I settled back down catching my breath. "Most days yes. There are some days it doesn't" I shrugged. "Thats common." Archie nodded. "At the moment we'll keep those where they are." He smiled. "I have one final question for today. What do you hope to gain out of treatment?" He asked. I thought for a moment. "I don't want to be afraid anymore." I answered.
