You Belong With Me

Chapter Nine

In case you have forgotten this is a safe place for you to be yourself and love who you are. So I hope you have slept well, eaten enough today, staying hydrated, and getting enough time outside. This is now your happy place. If someone ever reads this, tell me how your day was. Well and another daily reminder that you are a beautiful smart little muffin and I hope you have a wonderful day/night or evening, whatever you prefer. Have a nice day and stay safely hydrated. This will probably be done soon because it's actually really cute and I love it. Now we go on with the story. Enjoy whatever this is.

Today's lyrics are these. Standing by and waiting at your backdoor. All this time how could you not know, baby? You belong with me You belong with me.

"Come on, let's go get you some new glasses," Clay said as the two of them walk over and get their bags. Clay puts George down so he could walk. They make their way to the car and get in it. "Here's the address and by any chance can you like, I don't know how to explain this, like act like my brother or dad. Because at the place where I get my glasses they don't let anyone in the room unless they are family members. My doctor is a male and always gives me weird vibes, so please can you come with," George asked as they started driving. "Oh, of course," Clay said with a smile as they continued on with their journey. They continued you to drive. Clay's hand on George's thigh as George looked around. "Oh, there it is," George says and Clay pulls into the parking lot of the place where George was going to get his glasses (I am getting glasses soon! So that's nice I guess). Clay gets out of the car, then shuts the door, and then he makes his way over to George's door and opens it for him. "Such a gentleman everywhere we go," George says as he steps out the car door and Clay shuts it once he gets out. Clay grabs George's hand and they speed walk to the building. "Please don't leave my side this doctor give me the creeps," George said as he clung to Clay. "I won't I promise," Clay said with a laugh as they go to the waiting room. "George?" The front desk lady called out. "Yes, hi," George said as Clay followed right after him. "Who's this?" The lady asked. "This is my...stepbrother?" George said in a confused tone of voice. The lady just nodded and went to the back. "Is that the best you can come up with?" Clay whispered into George's ear with a laugh t the end of the statement. "Sorry, they know I don't have any sibling beside my sister, so I just said stepbrother," George said and Clay nodded. "George you can come back and so can your stepbrother," The front desk person said and they both followed her back into the room. "George you can sit on the bed and your stepbrother can sit on the chair," The lady said, and then she left. "She doesn't seem so bad," Clay said as he sat down with his legs open (that's so irrelevant, but I need more words so yeah). "She's nice, but the doctor is too nice. He is creepy," George said as he shivered. He had never been here alone and it was because of that creepy ass doctor. Just then the doctor walked in. He looked at George and then he looked at Clay. "Who are you?" The doctor asked. "My name is Clay and I am George's stepbrother," Clay said as he shook the doctor's hand just to be polite. "Well we will start off with the applanation tonometry, then we will do the corneal topography, and then the Fluorescein Angiogram, and then the dilated pupillary exam, a refraction and then a slit-lamp exam, the non-contact tonometry, retinal tomography, and then an ultrasound, the visual acuity testing, the visual field test and then that's it," The doctor says. "And what are those?" Clay asks. He wants to know every detail, just in case, the doctor tries to pull anything. "Why does he need an ultrasound? George can't even get pregnant (yes he can in this story but you didn't hear that from me)?" Clay questioned confusedly. "Well, the applanation tonometry is this test measures the amount of pressure it takes to flatten a portion of your cornea. Pressure readings help your doctor diagnose and keep track of glaucoma. They'll give you drops to numb your eye, then press lightly on it with a tool called a tonometer. The Corneal topography is a computerized test map of the curve of your cornea. It can show problems with your eyes' surface, like swelling or scarring, or conditions such as astigmatism or diseases like keratoconus. You might have it before you have surgery, a cornea transplant, or a contact lens fitting. The fluorescein angiogram lets the doctor see how well blood moves in your retina. It helps diagnose diabetic retinopathy, retina detachment, and macular degeneration. The doctor will inject a special dye, called fluorescein, into a vein in your arm. It travels quickly to blood vessels inside your eye. Once it gets there, the doctor uses a camera with special filters to highlight the dye. They take pictures of the dye as it goes through the blood vessels in the back of your eye. This helps them spot circulation problems, swelling, leaking, or abnormal blood vessels. The dilated pupillary exam is pretty explanatory. The doctor uses special drops to expand your eye's pupil (they'll call this dilate). That lets them check your retina for signs of disease. Refraction is what the doctor uses to get your eyeglasses prescription. You look at a chart, usually 20 feet away, or in a mirror that makes things look like they're 20 feet away. You'll look through a tool called a phoropter. It lets the doctor move lenses of different strengths in front of your eyes. You can tell them if things look clear or blurry. Your answers give them your prescription for your glasses or contact lenses. The test will also help them spot presbyopia, myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. The slit-lamp exam is when the doctor uses this microscope to shine a beam of light shaped like a small slit on your eye. They may also dilate your pupils during the test. It can help diagnose cataracts, glaucoma, detached retina, macular degeneration, cornea injuries, and dry eye disease. The non-contact and tonometry and the rental tomography are a test helps diagnose glaucoma. The doctor will use a tool called a tonometer that blows a tiny puff of air, measuring eye pressure indirectly by the eye's resistance to the puff. Applanation instruments can also measure pressure. They are the most accurate, but you'll need a local anesthetic. This computerized test can give a remarkably detailed image of the retina and all of its layers. You might get it if you have a serious retina condition, like age-related macular degeneration or retinal detachment. And ultrasound you know what that is I'm not explaining it. The visual acuity testing measures how well you see at near and far distances. If your child can't yet read, the doctor will use a special test. Your child will look at the letter "E" then tell the doctor the way the legs point with their fingers. You can practice this at home before the test. The last test is the visual field test. This measures your peripheral (side) vision. You'll stare at an object in the center of your line of vision (like the doctor's eyes or a computer screen). As you look at the target, you'll note when you see an object moving into your field of vision or, depending on the test, when the lighted spot appears. This test lets the doctor know if conditions like stroke or glaucoma have hurt your vision," Then after a long while the doctor stopped talking. (Sorry I need words, so I had to write that all lol). "Okay, you can do the test," Clay said and George gave consent as well. This test went on for a while. A long while. After they were done George got his glasses even though that's not realistic in the slightest. "How do they fit?" Clay asked as he stood up and stood next to George. "Perfectly!" George said with a smile and they then walked out of the room and into the waiting room. "Can you please sign here?" The doctor asked as he handed George the clipboard and then the doctor "accidentally" dropped the pen. George goes to pick it up, but Clay got it before him. "Read what is on the paper before you sign," Clay said and George nodded. "My insurance pays for the glasses why do I need to pay?" George asks he reads the bottom part of the paper. "Oh, that wasn't supposed to be there, you don't have to pay for them," The doctor says quickly. George then signs the paper and they leave. They walked outside. It was no longer raining and the sky was clear and dark. Clay grabs George's hand and they walk to the car. Clay opens the door for George and George gets in the car. Clay shuts the door and walks over to the driver's side and opens the door. He got in and then he shut it. They both put on their seatbelts. Clay then pulls out of the parking lot and onto the main road. They sit in silence as they drive along the dark road. "Thank you," George says out of nowhere. "Thank you?" Clay asks as his eyes were still on the road. "Yeah thank you. You have done so much for me over the past few days and I really appreciate it. I went all of my school years without friends and I was just a loner, but you really proved that wrong. Thank you for being my friend. I love you," George said, but Clay didn't ear the last part, because Goerge got quiet at the end. "I got everything you said up until the last part," Clay said as he pulled his car into his driveway. "Nothing," George said as he went to grab his backpack from the back. "No, tell me. I am actually very curious," Clay says as he takes George's backpack before he can get it. "It was nothing. Don't worry about it," George said as his face flushed a bright red color. "Ah okay. Well, do you want me to walk you to your door?" Clay asked and George nodded. Clay got out of his car door and opened the door for George. He handed the smaller boy his backpack and they walk to the front door. "Thank you," George says as he opens the door. "Mamma!" George yells. "Yes?" A voice yells back. "Thank you for walking me to the door," George said as he waved off Clay. George shut the door behind him and locked it. He smiled and spun around. "Oh he's so handsome," George said aloud. He was in love and there was no hiding it now. "Whose handsome?" George's mom asked as she stood in the door frame of the kitchen with a smile present on her face. George's face turned red. "No one!" He squeaked and then he ran up the stairs and into his bedroom. George's mom laughed. She was like that when she had fallen in love with her husband. George took off his clothes and then put on some pajama shorts and a shirt. George took off his glasses and he laid down. "Today was a crazy day," George thought to himself as he attempted to fall asleep. George tossed and turned. The night went by more and more slowly and he just didn't feel tired anymore. George got up and put some pants and a hoodie on. He put on some shoes and he walked downstairs. "Mamma I'm gonna go out!" George yelled as he grabbed his keys, wallet, and phone. "Okay, stay safe!" George's mother yelled back. George smiled. He heard a knock on the backdoor. George smiled as he saw Clay at his backdoor in the same situation he was in. George smiled as he walked outside with Clay. "You wanna do something? I can't sleep," Clay said simply. "Yes! What do you want to do?" George asked. "Let's go stargazing," Clay said and that's what they planned to do for their second date.
