Chapter 51

Lin's POV

"What do you mean I can't go in there?" I asked through gritted teeth.

"She doesn't want you in there, let her cool down and talk to the therapist that will be here any minute, okay?" The doctor somewhat calmed me down and I nodded.

Soon a lady walked over. "Hi I'm Dr. Peterson. I'll be talking to Jessie for the next hour." She says shaking my hand.

"Hi, Lin Manuel Miranda." I say.

"You can go get some food or something, go home and take a shower. It'll be easier for her if you're not here." Dr. Peterson suggests.

Jessie's POV

"Hi Jessie, I'm Dr. Peterson. So can you tell me about your dream?" She asks me.

I explain to her everything, and she takes notes.

"I believe Jessie, that you have PTSD, which is post traumatic stress disorder and anxiety. If I email your current doctor I can see if you're eligible for an emotional support dog. Would you like that?" She asks and I nod.

"And sent. I'll stay with you for a few minutes and hopefully we can get you one."

A few minutes pass when she gets an email. "Your doctor said you are eligible and that there's a dog they think will work for you, I'll have them bring her tomorrow." Dr. Peterson says cheerfully.

"What's her name?" I ask.

"Jozi. Now who would you like to stay in here with you tonight?" She asks.

"There's really no one, I think I'll be fine here by myself." I whisper.

"If that's what you want, I'll tell the doctor. I'll see you tomorrow." She says and leaves.

I check my phone, 23 missed messages.

Dad: Mija I'm so sorry

Dad: I'm not letting you stay here by yourself

Dad: I'll let you have an emotional support dog please just forgive me

Toby: your dad is blowing up my phone, what's up?

Daveed: Yo Jessie what's up? Your dad is blowing up our phones

Leslie: Jessie are you okay? Please answer us

Pippa: Jessie, do you want me to come to the hospital?

Sasha: Jessie what's up? We're all worried about you.

There were more and more messages like that.

"Why can't I see her?" I hear Lin ask.

I slightly tense up. "She needs space Mr. Miranda."

Luckily there are no IVs attached to me. I grab my phone and climb out of my bed and go under the small couch and hide. Then Lin comes in. "Mija? It's dad. Can I come in?" I don't respond. "I'm coming in."

I silence my phone as I see his feet walk in front of the couch.

"Mija this isn't funny, where are you?" He calls out. He checks under my bed but nowhere else and walks out of the room. "Doctor! She's not in there." He calls out and I rush underneath the bed.

"Where have you checked?" The doctor asks.

"Under the bed." Lin says and they check the rest of the room.

"We'll check the cafeteria." The doctor says and they leave.

I crawl out from under the bed and peak out the door as they turn the corner.

That's when I rush to the entertainment room for patients.
