Pentatonix: Murder House

Eight

"Do you mind if I take this?" Mike asks.

"No." Scott says.

Mike takes his phone out and looks at his text messages.

"Are you taking your medications?" Mike asks putting down his phone.

"Yes."

"Any side effects?"

Scott pauses and lays down on the couch.

"I was taking them at night, but they kept me up." Scott says.

"What did you do?"

"Started taking them in the morning." Scott smiles.

"Light sensitivity is pretty common." Mike says.

"Maybe...yeah I think so."

Scott lays on the couch staring at the ceiling waiting for Mike to come up with a response.

"You know when I was in medical school, they brought in this huge interrogator to scare us or tell us who was lying. This guy was massive! He was like six foot FIFTY! He must've been one hell of an interrogator because I would've been terrified to lie to him." Mike says.

Scott looks at Mike with wide eyes and stands up in front of him.

"You think I'm lying to you?" Scott asks angrily.

"Light sensitivity isn't a side effect of your medication!" Mike says.

Scott walks around as he knows he's been caught lying about taking his meds.

He quickly has to look for a new answer before Mike says he's doesn't want to see him again.

He sits down in a chair in the corner of the room and watches Mike talk.

"So, you lied to me?" Scott asks.

"That's not important. It's important if you're telling the truth about doing this stuff to your classmates! If I think you're a danger to society, law says I have to report you to the police." Mike says.

Scott just listens rocking back and forth in the chair still upset by Mike and his words.

"Did you call them?" Scott asks concerned.

"No not yet. I've treated psychotics before and with the right treatment of chemical balance and medication, they can't be reached." Mike says.

"You think that's me? You think I can't get better?" Scott says tears filling his eyes.

"You? Are you kidding me! You're hopeless!" Mike jokes.

He and Scott exchange laughs.

"Everybody can get better, Scott! Everybody! I just think you're scared. Of what? I don't know yet. Maybe rejection. Maybe because of what your father did to you." Mike says.

Scott looks away from Mike and processes everything he just said.

"I was afraid my big dick wouldn't work." Scott laughs.

"What?" Mike laughs with Scott.

"Yeah, that's why I didn't take the meds. I was afraid my dick wouldn't work." Scott says.

"Because I met someone." Scott says and looks to Mitch who is watching Scott and Mike talk.

Mitch just looks back at Scott and smiles.
