Paisley's POV
~The Next Morning
I feel a lot better than I did yesterday. Not delusional at least, but Vanessa's still making me go to that stupid doctor's appointment.
"Vanessa, I'm serious! I'm fine! I can go to school today!" I said as I watched Vanessa fold the laundry.
"Your temperature is still in the hundreds and as long as it stays there, you're going to that appointment."
"But-"
"No buts."
Just then, Lin walked by to get food in the kitchen.
"Ooh Lin! Don't you think I should not have to go to the appointment if I feel better?"
Lin thought for a second.
"I mean yea-"
Vanessa glared at him for a long time. It was kinda uncomfortable.
"No. You're going to that appointment." Lin said, making coffee.
I rolled my eyes in protest and annoyance. "You're the worst Lin."
"There's the Paisley we know and love! Welcome back kiddo!" Lin chuckled.
"Ughhh." I whined, sinking back into the couch. Vanessa gave me a look, but it was weird. It was the sort of look my mom used to give me when I had an attitude. I was like eight.
The look Vanessa gave me said "cut the bull Paisley." I tried to break from her gaze, but I couldn't. She was trying to intimidate me. I hate it.
"Sorry." I mumbled, looking down at the floor.
"You know, you said some very...interesting things while you were in your delusional state." Vanessa said as she folded one of my shirts. I laughed at her remark.
"I can only imagine."
Vanessa stopped folding and looked me in the eyes. It was intense man.
"Lin told me that you said you had a brother."
A...brother.
I said I had a brother.
God, I'm an idiot.
Technically, Eric wasn't my brother...so I can deny it without lying. Right.
Right?
"Uh...that's crazy. I was an only child...re-remember?" I asked Vanessa. Vanessa folded her arms and looked at me.
"I'm a lawyer. I study facial expressions. You're lying. Tell me the truth Paisley." Vanessa looked like she was really serious. I smirked.
"I'll tell you..."
"Yes, okay awesome so-"
"If I don't have to go to the appointment." I said. Vanessa scoffed.
"Oooh, you've done it now." Lin warned, sassily sipping on his coffee.
"You know what? Fine. I don't need to know, I'll find out eventually. You're going to that appointment." Vanessa said, walking away. I groaned.
"Haha." Lin said. I threw a pillow at him and collapsed back on the couch, covering my eyes with my hands. I hate the doctors office.
2 Hours Later
"Alright, ready to go?" Vanessa asked, grabbing her purse and her keys. She walked to the door. I just shrugged.
