Katie continued to sit on the counter, tears streaming down her cheeks. She hated this. When she joined Starfleet she knew of the dangers but she didn't think she would be thrown in a damn cage for a week. Where in the hell was Starfleet when they were needed? Why hadn't they sent out a search party?
She wanted to scream at the top of her lungs; curse all the people that didn't care enough to even look for them. Now she was going to have to face Starfleet and none of them understood. Her parents weren't even trying to understand. All they wanted to do was sweep it under the rug and it pissed her off.
When the knock came, Katie looked up and glared at the door. "I don't care," she said when the door opened and Leonard looked in. "No lectures."
With a deep breath, she reached over and pulled a paper towel out of the dispenser. "I just want people to stop telling me what to do and how to feel. I know my parents meant well but they weren't there. They need to let me do this on my own. All of you need to. If I can't get through this afternoon on my own, then I'm never going to heal."
