Harry

I put the baby down. I look at the therapist and smile.

"Mr. Erden! Welcome!" I say and he sits down on the chair next to my bed

"Doctor Harry? How are you?"

"I was just having a moment with my daughter but I suppose Mrs Juliette was fast to run to you."

He smiles warmly. "Doctor Harry, I have known you since you first came here as a resident. I know you have a strong character. But sometimes even the people with strong character need help."

"I understand your point, Mr Erden. So go on. Test me."

I stare at him and he pulls out the papers.

"Who are you?" That's a stupid question.

"I'm Harry Styles. The chief doctor and surgeon at this hospital. I am also Italian but moved to London ten years ago. I'm 30."

He nods. "Your boyfriend? Where is he?"

"He is hospitalized at a private clinic."

"What happened to him?"

"His dad shot him in the head 15 years ago. The surgeons couldn't take out the bullet completely and with years it got deeper in his brain tissue."

"It is hard, sad, and it makes me feel alone."

"You don't feel guilty?"

"No. Why would I feel guilty for something I didn't do?"

"Do you feel betrayed?"

"No. He was very open with this. He did nothing behind my back."

"Did you try moving on?"

"No. I don't feel like having another boyfriend at the moment."

"But in the future?"

"Things can change, of course but right now I have other things to think about in the future."

"Like what?"

"Like my daughter and the cure for him."

"Why do you want to help him when he doesn't want your help?"

"He doesn't want my help because he thinks there's no way out of this. Because he thinks he's gonna die. And he wants me to suffer less"

"But why do you want to help him?"

"Because I can. Being a doctor gives me knowledge that most people don't have. People who are not in the medical world don't know the things I know and it's my duty to help people. To try to help people."

"What makes you think that you will find the cure other people didn't find?"

"Hope. I decided to use my time productively, not waiting for him to die."

"What will you do when he dies?"

"I don't want to think about that. I like to live in the present."

"Now you have a daughter. If you had to choose between your daughter and him, who would you choose?"

"She is our daughter. She is the human that keeps us together even when we are not together. She is our miracle."

After a long hour of questions he stops. He sighs and smiles. "You are a very strong person, Doctor Harry! This is impressive."

"At the beginning you said you have known me for years. I have to mention, Mr Erden, you don't know me at all. None of you know me. The only person that knows me completely is my boyfriend, other than him, no one knows the real me. And some people underestimate the things I'm capable of. I'm not made of glass. And depression isn't the way I handle pain."
