Chapter 43 // The Doctor Visit

I sit down on the bed and check my phone to see if anyone had texted me. No one. I was still wet but I didn't really care at this point.

Ben walks to the window with a towel wrapped poorly around his waist. I could tell what he was about to do and it wasn't going to be pretty.

"Ben... what are you doing?" I ask concerningly.

Ben doesn't reply he just yanks on the cord and the curtains fly open. I stand to my feet and walk towards Ben. "Ben... just step away from the window." I say approaching Ben.

Suddenly, Ben throws the towel over his shoulder and exposes himself to the rest of the people in the parking lot.

Ben throws his arms in the air and screams, "FREEDOM" at the top of his lungs. While laughing uncontrollably, I walk over next to Ben and look out the window. At the bottom, I see an old lady waving her hands and cheering at Ben.

I push Ben back into the room. "Sorry the show is over!" I shout to the old lady before shutting closed the curtain. I look back at Ben and he is face down on the carpet groaning.

"Ben what the hell?" I ask before pulling up right and onto the bed.

"I-I-I-I want to go to 31 flavors a-a-a-and get some i-iice cream." Ben mutters out looking at me. He was acting like an actual 5 year old.

"Ben what happened to you?? Are you high?" I ask getting some clothes to put on him.

"BRUUUUUUUUH, I'm as high as a kite maaaaaaan." Ben says rolling his eyes back and pretending to smoke a blunt. I knew he was lying because one, it didn't smell of weed and two, Ben doesn't get dumber when he gets high he just gets highly annoyed. There was just one thing that I could think of.

I reach behind Ben's head and feel a gigantic bump on the back of his head. "What are you doing man, I got a girl her names Rey and I love her!" Ben shouts angrily.

"Ben I'm Rey." I reassure him. "Oh.... where's Rey?" He asks looking rather confused.

I roll my eyes and ignore his question. Ben continues, "Where are we going?".

I reply, "The doctor's. You have a concussion Ben."

"HOW?!" Ben objects. I put some sweat pants and a tee shirt on him along with his shoes.

"Common Ben." I say hoisting him up and walking him to door.

"Well hello. My name's Ben what's yours?"

---

We finally arrive at the doctor's office and we were waiting for the doctor to come in. Ben was drawing on the parchment paper he was sitting on while we waited. I didn't really care what he was drawing, all I cared about was getting back to the hotel before some noticed we were gone.

Then, the slightest taps knocked at the door and without an answer the doctor walked in.

"Hello....." the doctor looked down at note pad and flipped through some papers before finally coming across Ben's name. "Ben."

"So what's the problem...." The doctor asks looking down at what Ben was drawing.

"I drew a penis." Ben laughs and looks at me.

"Umm well my boyfriend,--."

"GIRL WHATCU TALKING ABOUT I HAVE A GIRLFRIEND AND HER NAME IS REY." Ben shouts.

"My friend here, who is also my boyfriend, slipped in the shower and hit his head. I think he has a concussion but I just wanted to double check to see." 

"Okay, yeah it's very common for people to slip in the shower and become temporarily concussed but not permanently. I'm just going to check to see any side effects." The doctor says sliding on some latex gloves.

"Okay Ben can you count to ten for me." The doctor asks sitting in his rolley chair.

"1....5..... red..... orange... yellow.." Ben struggles to continue but before he could move on the doctor stops him and feels the back of his head for the bump I felt earlier.

"So Ben definitely has a concussion but a special type." The doctor says feeling around Ben's head.

"And that is?" 

"It's when someone gets a concussion they start to act like a toddler or young child." The doctor explains.

"When the person hits their head in a certain spot, the brain sets back their timeline sometimes back to five or ten minutes and sometimes up to years at a time. I'm just going to get Ben an ice pack and some medications that he can take for the concussion to go away." The doctor says exiting the room.

"I'm sorry.." Ben says in a child like manner, fiddling with his index fingers.

"For what?" .

"That I got a concussion." Ben says looking up.

"Ben it's not your fault that you got a concussion." I giggle and he smiles at me.

"So you forgive me?" Ben asks smiling.

"Yes I forgive you." I reply.

"Yay!" Ben claps his hands and fidgets in excitement.

The doctor soon enters the room again with an ice pack and some antibiotics in his hand.

"Okay, so he just has to take these. Two tonight and two tomorrow in the morning for the pain and he'll be fine." The doctor hands me the bottle and I put it in my bag.

"Wait, I just have one more question."

"Yeah?" The doctor asks grabbing his clip board preparing to leave.

"Before he started acting weird, he was completely normal." I say recalling the event with the old lady at the door.

"That is really common in people who get these types of concussions because the concussion doesn't really start until a couple of minutes later. It's really more common than you think."

The doctor hands Ben the bag of ice and then grabs his stuff and leaves.

"What is this?" Ben asks looking at the bag.

"It's for your head." I say getting up and grabbing my bag, making sure not to forget the medication.

I hear the bag of ice open and I turn back and see Ben eating the ice out of the bag.

"Ben you can't eat that." I say taking the bag away.

"Uhhhhhhhhh." He groans as we head out the door.

"We can get McDonalds on the way home." I say awarding him for being good other than drawing a dick on the paper which was still there.

"Yay!"
