HEY Y'ALL! Once again I am very sorry for the lack of updates. I went on a two week vacation to Maryland and Texas. Then the beach, then I've been without a computer for a while. Sooooo now I'll be updating a lot. So I apologize ahead of time for the annoyance. Enjoy!
Emerald POV.
So today is the day. It's time to get Greg's diagnosis. Me, Greg, and his mother have been out allllll day. They've been running multiple tests, CAT scans, and a bunch of other tedious stuff.
"Will the Anderson party please follow me" a handsome african-american doctor said. (Pictured above)
Me and Nicole got up and did as the doctor ordered.
"Hello, my name is Dr. Goodwin, and you are?" He said flashing a smile at Nicole
"Nicole. Greg's mother" she said returning the smile.
"And you?" He asked directing his attention to me.
"Emerald. Greg's friend" I answered shaking his hand
"Ms. Anderson, if it's alright, I would like to ask you a few questions. Basically, just to support my theory. To my knowledge, you have lost your husband?"
She nodded as she started to tear
"And his personality flips started happening around this time also?" The doctor added.
"This is correct" Nicole answered as she nodded her head again.
"We have Gregory's results from his scans. From them and from your statements I have diagnosed Gregory with imaginative identity disorder" the doctor stated. (A/N I MADE THAT UP). "This is a disorder that primarily arises during or after a traumatic or life-changing situation. In which the person makes up this 'alter ego' to sometimes try and fill the void they have in them. After a while this st became so natural to Gregory, so whenever something happened to could potentially change his life, his other ego would come out."
Me and Nicole continued to listen.
"First, it was with his Dad passing; then, once he learned to cope with is death, it was the move. Once he was able to cope with the move, it was Emerald." Dr. Goodwin said.
"Who me? What? Why me? How me?" I shockingly asked.
"During on of the tests, we tried multiple things to trigger his other identity. First we talked about his dad, it worked. Then we started to talk about the move, that also worked. Then we tried multiple other trying to connect Gregory changes to here in Boston, and we came across you." he ended "Gregory saw you as someone who could change his life, and even though nothing traumatic happened, this was just the way his body reacted to change."
I had nothing to say. Greg's feeling for me have been real from the start. And I told Derrick he felt nothing for me, oye vai.
"So what are treatment options?" Nicole asked
"Luckily, since this is all in his mind, we're going to prescribe him with this drug that has one of the main ingredients of what they use in PTSD medicine. Now I want him to take 2 a day, for three months. Then I want you to bring him back and we're going to see if any of these factors trigger his other identity. So if you have any questions here my number for the office; and if you can't reach me there, here's my personal number." He concluded smiling at Nicole.
She smiled back.
"Since you both have been here all day, we have already given him both of his pills. Here is a list of side effects that may occur, if they happen bring him back to me asap. I'll discharge Gregory and we all can be on your way"
We thanked him for everything and we were on our way.
Once Greg was discharged, we gathered up his belongings and went home.
Not a word was said, but Nicole looked so relived. I know she's had a good day. They finally figured out what was wrong with Greg, and a very cute doctor was flirting with her uncontrollably. It would have put a smile of my face too.
As we approached the house, Nicole turned to me and said, "Thank you Emerald. Thank you for giving me, us the courage to finally seek help. We can' deal with everything on our own." We pulled into the yard and i said, "There's no problem at all. Anything for a friend." I gave them both a smile, told Greg to call me if he needed anything , because he's not allowed to drive until they see how he drugs are doing in his system. He nodded, gave me a hug, and I went to my car.
As I was getting ready to pull out, Derrick texted me.
D: Where have you been? I have been trying to reach you all day.
Crap, I had to put my phone on airplane mode, because of the no phone policy and I forgot to tell him.
Me: I'm sorry baby. I was taking care of something and didn't have a chance to check my phone.
D: MHM
Me: Don't do that. Don't hit me with a dry text.
D: K
Me: You are playing a game that you do not want to play with me. Step into my kitchen, and get burned.
D: "okay sign emoji"
Me: You got it.
end of convo
Dammit this boy knows damn well, that okay sign pisses me off. If he wants to play this game FINE. I have no problem ignoring him.
"Mom, Dad, Evan, Marley, Clover, I'M HOME!!" I yelled as I walked into my house.
"Emmy EMMY EMMY EMMMMMMMMMMMMYY!" Marley exclaimed as she ran into my arms.
"What's up Mar-Mar." I asked
"Nothing about to go to Brittany house." she answered
"Really? Why so late?" I asked her
"Because mommy and daddy are leaving to go to grandma's house and the said I couldn't go" Marley answered as she pouted her lips and folded her arms.
"Aw it's okay. I know you're going to have a GREAT time at Brittany's house."b I said as I started to tickle her. She giggled and gave me a kiss.
"Marley, we're ready!" Dad said "Oh hey, Ems. "he said walking around to me giving me a kiss. "Hey Dad, how long are y'all going to be gone?" I asked.
"Until Monday" he answered "my sister went into labor and me and your mom are going to drive up there."
"Oh okay, tell auntie I said good luck, and you guys drive carefully." I said giving him a Kiss.
"Darling, come on" he yelled up after my mom
"Coming." she yelled back coming down the stairs, " Hey Emerald." she said kissing me on my forehead. "We'll be back Monday morning, and my house better be in tiptop shape, alright?"
"yes ma'am" I answered. I kissed her, dad, and Marley and walked them out.
Once I shut door the I smile to myself. "You don't have any idea"
