Karls POV
Nick kept asking me to see a doctor.

"I cant do this everyday, i'm not even a professional Karl."

The thought of a doctor calling my name to go back with them, alone. Well I think alone at least- I haven't been since I was in middle school.

The doctor.

They would have to look at me.

Look at my face, my scuffed hair, the bags under my eyes.

They would ask me questions.

So many questions.

Nick would be in the waiting room.

I would be alone.

What if my hallucinations start acting up?

I haven't had a hallucination in a week.

I looked at the wall as I sat in the bed beside Nick, endlessly thinking.

He was asleep.

He's so pretty.

I heard my phone buzz.

It was the 'Sex Havers' group chat.

George | Guys are we gonna do anything tomorrow???

Dream | I dunno,

George | wait I have an idea

I watched as the messages flood in from George, and Dream.

George | Remember that podcast we have been planning on making?

Dream | Yea

George | We can stream our first episode tomorrow!

I began to type.

Karl | What time?

George | 10pm EST?

Karl | sounds fine to me

Alex | Yeah thats good

Dream | sure

(karl and alex were lurking/ just looking at the chats)

I closed out of discord, and opened my calendar.

October 6th

  Doctors
   Office

Fuck.

Thats only 2 weeks away.

So close.

But also far.

I turned off my phone, looking over at nick.

I cuddled up to him, and softly fell asleep.

--------

I woke up to my phone buzzing.

The bed was empty, Nick was most likely downstairs making food.

I picked it up.

It was George.

"Georrgeee! You woke me up."

"Well we have the podcast today, we need opinions! Should we tweet it out or just say something like 'we have something exciting planned' or sh-"

"George! Calm down- I just woke up. We can text alright?"

"Alrighty."

The call ended.

I dragged myself out of bed, and into the bathroom.

I picked up the toothbrush, hesitantly of course.

I still have a hard time doing things.

Not everything is perfect.

I brushed my teeth, and my hair.

I walked to my room, I still hadn't moved my clothes in Nicks room.

I put on a colorful hoodie, the one similar to my Minecraft avatar.

And put on some socks.

All the lights in the house were on today.

I walked downstairs, Nick was sitting at the kitchen island eating food.

"Thought you were never gonna wake up!"
Nick laughed.

I smiled.

"Thank George, without him calling me I probably would have slept in late."

"So, today is the podcastt!"

I nod, "Yeah! Im actually pretty excited." I say.
