“Just listen for once,” Henry said.
I took my foot off the ice.
I stepped back.
“Hey, Atlas,” Sebastian said. “You know Joe is right. You should have played closer.”
Coach Denny blew the whistle again.
He then started to bark orders at everyone.
I turned and walked away.
To take a shower.
Then to go see Anna.
It now felt like a routine.
Standing outside the same door, knocking on the same door, waiting for the same response from Anna.
When no response came, I grabbed the handle and opened the door.
“Can’t even welcome me in?” I asked to an audience of nobody.
The office was empty.
I looked at my phone.
I arrived technically two minutes early.
I sat down in my normal chair and stared at Anna’s normal chair.
Just me. And silence.
I checked my phone again.
Officially time to meet Anna.
Another minute ticked by.
Then another.
I stood up and opened the office door and looked around.
Nobody in sight.
Two more minutes went by.
I slammed the office door shut and sat back down.
I leaned forward and my hands balled up into fists.
I decided to do a littleself-shrink stuff.
How does this make you feel, Joe?
Oh, it reminds of something I went through once before, huh?
