Second Chance

Chapter 15 - I Hate Surprises

"I Hate Surprises"

"What are you laughing about?"

"I was just thinking about something,"

"Mind share it with me?"

"It's just that Ryan didn't believe that I am who I say I am and I'm imagining his face when he was proven wrong,"

"What do you mean by he doesn't believe in you?"

"He thinks I'm an imposter. That I actually paid to look like how I look right now. Well, considering that I have been having these dreams where I'm not myself, maybe I'm not me anymore. If you know what I mean,"

"Well, does it mean that you feel like you are no longer Luke but this boy you've been seeing in your dreams,"

"...Maybe. I don't know anymore. Sometimes even I wonder who I am,"

"Well, who do you think you are? The boy or Luke?"

"If I be honest here, you wouldn't think I'm crazy right?"

"I have to know before I can evaluate whether you are crazy or not. If you don't want to talk about it, don't worry and take your time,"

"...Well, to be honest, I feel like I am the boy in the dream..."

"I see,"

"So... Am I crazy?"

"You may be delusional but you're not crazy,"

"So I'm delusional? I'm just creating myself a new persona?"

"That OR the boy's soul takes on Luke's body and becomes Luke,"

"..."

"Obviously that's not scientifically possible. I'm just kidding," He laughs.

"Oh, wow. You worried me for a second there. I thought I have to change doctors cause even my doctor is crazy," I laugh awkwardly.

"Now then, I would like to say that you shouldn't think too much about being told that you are delusional. Sometimes being confused on who you are is a part of growing up and maybe you are looking for yourself right now. Just take your time and you will find your own answer. However, if it is bothering your daily life, we might have to do something about it,"

"And that something is...?"

"Possibly you need to get yourself medicated," He smiles softly and I nod as understanding.

"So I'm good?"

"For now. Okay, then. Let's end the session here shall we?"

I nod my head.

I walk out of the building and spot a car I didn't expect to see here. He rolls down the window and gestures me to come closer.

I sigh and approach his car window.

"Get in,"

"Oh, wow. No 'Hi, how are you today, Luke' hmm?" I raise a brow at him.

"Hi, how are you, possible Luke's imposter. Happy?" He says nonchalantly and I shrug cause I don't really care actually.

"Now get in the car,"

I sigh as I proceed to go to the passenger side. He seems cranky today. Probably his cool act yesterday was a huge failure when his nose started to bleed again.

I chuckle as I remember.

"What are you giggling about?" He looks at me with the corner of his eyes after pulling down his shade slightly.
