Dan had to skip school for a few days again. I couldn't wait for classes to end so I could visit him in the sick bay.
I ran down the hall , accidentally bumping into people. Normally I would say sorry but I was now in a hurry. When I arrived, I heard a familiar voice. Dr Sanchez . He was the child psychologist. The friendliest man I knew. Like a father to us.Dr Victor Sánchez was a divorced man, in his late thirties. Every children loved him. He was very direct and kind.
- Say Daniel, do you know what is happening to you?
- Yes.. I know..Leaving my manners , I rushed inside to greet my friend. There was Dr Vincent Rivera as well.
He was the pediatrician . He was in his mid twenties, also very friendly. Both of them were Argentinian, therefore for some people it was a little hard to understand his accent. But somehow, not for me , although I never learned Spanish.
- You know that you can always ask Mrs Rosa for me. I want to help you as much as possible.
- He's right, we're not giving up on you , you can heal if you fight with us.
- I know Dr Sanchez..but what's the us in fighting if no one wants me?
- How about we heal you then we start to work on your self esteem?
- I don't know what that means...
- Its alright , I'll explain when we're at it. You're a cute little child and you remind me of my own, though he's a little older and he hates me lately..
- Why does he hate you? You're the best.
- He is 11 , me and his mother divorced for some personal reasons which your young mind doesn't need to understand. However, I didn't give up, I'm showing him that even if I'm not with them anymore, I still love himBoth me and Dan smiled. I can't believe that anyone on this world would hate Dr Sanchez. He had a heart of gold.
- He's so lucky to have you, I bet you're nice dad.
- Thank you, I'm trying . So what do you say? We fight together and build a nice life for you.
- It's..not that I don't want but I'm so tired and I'm still child. I can't do anything that others can and it makes me sad..
