X-Rays and Solutions

VIII
+Emma Griffon+

The woman deposits me in a hospital room and notifies me that Dr. Alves will be here at any moment. She exits and I just look around the room and twiddle my thumbs.

"Ms. Griffon? Are you ready?", Mr. Alves's voice startled me.

"Yes.", I simply reply. He motions me to come and I follow him into an X-Ray room.

"Lie down please.", A man instructs.

"This is Dr. Pininski.", Dr. Alves introduces him to me. He glares at me, but proceeds with the X-Ray's.

"Okay. I am going to take multiple images of your brain.", Dr. Pininski explains. I like down on the metal table and Dr. Pininski places a machine over my head. A few minutes later, the device makes a bunch of weird noises. When the machine silences, Dr. Pininski removes it from my head and I sit up.

"I'll be back.", He says with a frown. He disappears into a booth and the doctors look at the images of my brain.

Dr. Alves emerges and sits on a chair across from me. "There is a chance that you will get your memory back. We need to prescribe some medication that will restore and strengthen the part of your brain that holds you memories. You will experience headaches, though.", He explains.

"That's okay. I just want my memories back.", I say relieved that there is a way to get me memory back.

"Right away. You should receive the medicine tomorrow or the next day.", He says smiling.

"Thank you Dr. ", I gush.

"It's no problem.", He says. He ushers me out of the room and into the waiting room where I find Chase on his phone. He looks up and makes his way over to me.

"Ready?", He asks me.

"Yup.", I say smiling.

"Thanks Doc.", He says already heading towards the exit. I rush up to him and we walk out together. He gets into his car and I follow him questioningly.

"What happened to your bike?", I ask.

"I figured you wouldn't want to ride it, so I had Cameron bring my car and take my bike. Your welcome.", He states starting the ignition.

"Thanks.", I say. We head home in silence and Chase parks in front of my apartment.

"See you at school.", I say and get out of the car.

"Yeah.", Chase answers and drives to his apartment.

+Chase Harrison+

I walk in to be greeted by my brat of a sister.

"What do you want Manilia?", I ask staring at her giant grin which fades when I call her by her full name. Our mom says it sounds exotic and unique.

"Nothing!", She giggles.

"I'm serious! What is it?", I play along.

"Okay... Tanya is coming over!", She squeals. Tanya is Mandy's best friend. She has an obvious super crush on me which is annoying, yet flattering.

"When?", I ask.

"At Four thirty.", Mandy replies. I look at my phone and it says 4:26.

"Mom! I'm leaving!", I announce. Silence. My mom doesn't answer.

"No honey! You have to watch the girls. I have to run errands.", Mom says picking up her keys and walking out the door.

"Fine. Mandy, I'll be in my room.", I say and make my way into my room. I call Eric and he answers instantly.

"What's up bro?", He asks.

"Nothing much, you?", I say.

"Nope. Why don't I hangs at your place for a while?", He suggests.

"Fair warning, Mandy and Tanya are over.", I say.

"Whatever. Cam is here. I'll bring him.", He explains.

"Okay. Come fast.", I say and hang up. About ten minutes later a knock on the door.

"I got it!", Mandy yells from the living room. I walk into the hall and lean against the wall.

Tanya enters and squeals with her best friend and then looks at me and smiles brightly.

"Hi Mandy. Sup Chasey?", She acts cool.

"Nothing Tanya. I'll be in my room.", I tell Tanya and Mandy. About five minutes after that, Cam and Eric enter the apartment and come into my room.

"Chase!", Who's the other girl?", Cameron asks.

"Eric didn't tell you? That's Tanya, Mandy's friend.", I say glaring at Eric.

"Have you seen Emma?", Eric asks.

"Yeah, why?", I ask.

"We saw her running in sport shorts and a sports bra. She's hot!", Cameron says.

"Yeah, I know. You know how I can trust you both with anything?", I ask.

"Yeah, we know.", Eric says.

"You like her.",Cam finishes.

"How'd you know?", I ask.

"Your easy to read.", They say in unison. I grin a little and look at both of my best friends.

"Now the question is, are you going to tell her?", Eric says.

"Or are you not?", Cam finishes again.

"I don't know man.", I say utterly confused.

"Well...I don't know, but if I were you I'd ask her to the dance next Friday.", Cam suggests.

"Whatever.", I say.

"Eric and I are going to Daniel's party. You can come if you want.", Cameron says.

"Nah man. I'm good.", I say.

"Kay. Bye Chase.", Eric leaves and Chase follows.

"Um Chase? Can I have some juice?", Tanya asks.

"It's in the fridge.", I say.

"Yeah but I want you to get me some.", She whines.

"Ask Mandy.", I growl.

"No!", She pleads.

"Get out!", I yell frustrated.

"Meanie!", She snaps and runs away.

This is too complicated for even Chase Harrison to deal with..I think to myself. I wash up, change and go to bed without dinner, without an answer to my complicated life.
