It All Started when I was FLUSHED down the TOILET

"Well Mr Grey, your tests seem to have come back...semi - normal."

Dr Anderson said to me, casually putting my x-rays in order and pushing it them into a file.

I hated that the doctor I'd had to see today was Chloe's dad.

I was sure he hated me.

Unfortunately my usual doctor, Dr Ulija had gone back to Ghana for some family thing, he was around in his late 30s and hadn't been married yet he said something about paying a 'bride price'?

Idk, but whatever it was, it was about paying for a bride. It was none of my business but I felt the need to know what that was all about.

After all, he was one of my favorite doctors. He was patient and understanding.

"Did you hear me Axel?"

I blinked quickly, sitting up straight...my heart racing.

Why'd I feel this way?

"I'm sorry...I zoned out." He narrowed his eyes and leaned into his seat a bit.

"Let me repeat myself...your heart seems to be showing some strange activity compared to the last time I saw you. Have you been stressed lately?"

"Mr...um...Dr Anderson...I don't understand the question."

I bit my lip trying not to embarrass myself. He looked at me kindly I suppose, he too was patient with his slight moustache and wrinkled eyes.

"You've been getting quite close with my daughter, yes?"He said in a monotonous tone. His voice flat and composed.

I gulped at the question. Why...what did I do?

"Yes sir. For school projects and so forth."

My left fingers tapped the armrest and suddenly I felt the urge to leave.

"Well...I suppose she has been happier but I hate to see your health being harmed by your constant contact with her."

Realisation sank in.

So he didn't want me around her.

Hmmph.

"Sir, I'm sure I can handle it. We have been growing close as...friends..." It felt weird to say that...I didn't exactly have many friends...just 'yes' men.

His eyebrows bent down and his lip twitched slightly, "I'm saying that you should stay away from my daughter. You're harmful to her."he blatantly said his eyes threatening me.

Even though I respected the man, I couldn't do that.

It wasn't fair, nor was it logical.

"Sir, with all due respect...in as much as you may dislike me, it's illogical to keep me from your daughter. We're obligated to mend our ties by the school and my relationship with her is none of your business. If I made myself scarce she would notice." I said as calmly as possible, my fingernails scraping the fabrics of the armrests.

He glowered at me, clenching his jaw tightly before relaxing his shoulders a bit.

"I suppose that's true." He admitted begrudgingly.

But soon, his face started to soften a bit.

"As long as you don't hurt her or Simon, you may be friends with her."

Triumph at last!

"However, just know that I will never trust you Axel Grey. You hide more secrets than I wish to know...." He paused taking in a breath.
