I'm not crazy (Scomiche)

Chapter 11

okay, so in the last chapter, Scott had to go to his board meeting. While he was gone for the day, a substitute doctor came in which already had Mitch uneasy. The doctor was quite rude to Mitch, making him miss Scott even more and feel way uncomfortable with the new doctor (doctor Lee). Turns out that doctor Lee was the brother of Mitch's ex, and Lee obviously only knew half of the story of Mitch attacking his ex, making Lee think Mitch was just crazy. Lee had read through Mitch's file and knew exactly how to set him off, and so he did. Mitch had a rather large episode and the chapter ended with him blacking out due to a needle.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I woke up in the padded room for the first time in a long while with my arms restricted in movement. The straight jacket. I didn't know what time it was, I barely recalled why I was here. Something about my ex. It would come back to me later, for now I had to go through what I used to go through on a weekly basis. Apologizing to the camera.

I struggled to stand. You don't realize how much you rely on your hands until you can't use them. Eventually I got to my feet and looked into the corner of the room. "I'm done. I'm sorry. Please send someone to come and get me whenever they have a second. Again, I'm sorry." I walked back into the corner and sat down. I wonder if doctor Hoying is back yet. As if on cue, Scott walked in. His eyes scanned the room until they locked with mine. He ran over to me and I recalled the first time we were alone together. It was in here and I was afraid to let him touch me. Now, I was afraid of anyone else's.

He's probably so disappointed in you. You were doing so well, but then the memories had to come back. Stupid memories. By the time I snapped out of my thoughts, doctor Hoyinh was knelt in front of me. "Mitchie..." I looked at my feet. He had to be disappointed. I hate that feeling; being disappointed in. He used two of his fingers under my chin to lift my gaze. "What happens?" Did I want to tell him?

"C-can you g-g-get me out of this first? Then we can go back to my room and talk." I looked up at the camera in the corner of the room. He followed my gaze.

"Oh. Yeah, of course." He reached around me, after lifting me up, and undid the restrictions. I wiggled my arms around for a bit. "You went into an episode for cause related to doctor Lee. You've been passed out for a little more than a day." That's when all of the memories came trickling back into my head. My breathing became a bit more rapid. Scott stopped right away and turned to hug me. "Shh, calm down. It's alright. Let's go, alright?" I nodded and off we went. 

When we got back to my room, I felt a hand on the small of my back, I instinctively leaned into his touch.  "Hey, I looked on the camera on the wall, but it doesn't have sound so we only got the just of what happened. Do you want to tell me?" I shook my head. He let out a slow sigh. "Alright. But he obviously started your episode, you're not at fault here. It was doctor Lee's. Only you and him know what he said, I'm ready to listen whenever you're ready to tell me, okay?" I nodded.

Desperate to change the subject I said, "you said that you would tell me what that meeting was about when you got back. You're back." 

He chuckled a little before getting really excited. "Oh- okay! Um- the meeting, they said that- and you-"

"Deep breaths. Try again."

He did as I suggested and tried again. "So, yesterday at the meeting we came across your case. We discussed how much you've developed over the small amount of time. Lately there has been a lot of people that need to have rooms. They feel that your progress has risen so much, and you've stopped fully having episodes, that you no longer need to live at 'All Saints'. However, they did say that you needed to stay with me, considering that most of your progress has happened within the time that I became your doctor. So... you're going to stay in the guest bedroom and come back here once a week for a check up. Isn't that great Mitch!?"

Most of me was bouncing up and down, but the rest of me was over thinking. "Yeah! Uh, what about my latest episode. I went all out. I made myself bleed. I probably hurt ten doctors. I couldn't stop myself. It's not safe to anyone, I'm a danger to myself and others. Don't you  have to file some report on how I couldn't save myself. That kind of puts a damper on the whole reason on me beind able to be... sane."  A small smirk played at his lips. I gave him a confused look.

"Well, it was his fault. And had nothing to do with you. The council doesn't have to know. I won't tell them." He said confidently. "But it sounds like you don't want to go." All of the sudden his nails became very interesting and he was trying his hardest to not smile. I love this cockiness. "I mean, I get it if you don't want to live with me. It is pretty intimidating." He's trying to cheer me up. I gave in and laughed.

"No, no! I can't take another second of these white walls and nasty food! When can we go?"

"The board said, and I quote, 'the sooner the better'. So, now?"

I jumped up. "YES! ... I mean, yeah, whenever's cool." I corrected my neediness. He full on laughed at my screw up. I melting like butter. More like ice in a microwave. It was quick. My blush covered my face and crept to my neck.  He put his hand on my shoulder and lead me through the halls and out to his car.

He opened the door for me and helped me in. When he got into his side, he looked over to me. "Let's go than!" And we started off towards his house. I was excited that I wouldn't have to see those walls every day when I woke up, but  instead Scott.
