"So far all I know about you is that you jumped or fell off of a playground set. So tell me more about yourself. Like your family, your pets, your friends." He said with his hands together on the table. With a shaky voice I managed some words. I swallowed "um well my family...... I only have a mom and a dad. I'm an only child. I have no pets and...." I looked down "no friends."
"Ahhh I see." He said while scribbling stuff down on paper.
"Have you ever had imaginary friends?"
"Yes."
"Do you still have them?"
"Yes."
"How many?"
"Well I had 4 but 2 betrayed me. So now I only have 2."
"Really? What are their names?"
"Caroline and Stephan."
"What were the other 2 named?"
"Nathen and Jackie."
"How did they betray you?"
"They made me climb up that playground and Nathen pushed me off."
He stared at me blankly for a few minutes mainly just thinking. Then he started furiously writing a whole bunch of things down in his book.
"So" he said still writing.
"Have any of them ever made you do other things?"
"No, that was the only thing bad they ever did and Coraline and Stephan didn't do anything. They tried to protect me. They were like an older brother and sister I never had. I mean we all would get into arguments sometimes but they would never go that far."
"Hm I see. Well that's all the questions I need for now."
"Really?!" I said excitingly. "So I can go home now?"
"I'm afraid not."
"What? Why not?"
"You have schizophrenia."
"What?! No I don't!! Please I just wanna go home!"
"Yes you do Jeanne. I'm sorry but your imaginary friends are dangerous and you yourself are dangerous. We are gonna have to have you stay here for a while to give you some medicine and help fix you."
FIX ME?! What did he mean by fix me? I'm not broken!!!
I stood up and fought my straight jacket again.
"Let me out! Let me out!"
"Just calm do-"
"NO!" I grew furious and yelled.
He came up to me and I backed away. "No! Don't touch me! I won't let you "fix me!" I'm fine!" I yelled. He snatched me up and I started kicking and fighting all I could. I scram and scram and he eventually just couldn't take it anymore and I felt a needle go into my neck this time. I started to calm down and my vision became blurry. No not again I thought. My last thought before I blacked out is I'm not staying here. I hate Dr. Mike and I will make him pay.
