Chapter 52

@tvismylife

whats your favorite movie?

-I don't really have a fav, like anything with Leonardo DiCaprio, cuz he's sexy. And Ryan Gosling. I just watched The Fourth Kind, and that scared the shit out of me, it was about Aliens. And it was a true story so like even scarier...pretty much anything with sexy boys or horror, I do like being scared. 😂😊

Matt's Pov

I was too afraid to go back to Carter. What would be he think? What would he do?

I was terrified.

I can't believe I put my hands on him. I can't believe I would do such a thing.

It just didn't make sense.

Without thinking I run to the hospital, needing to talk to Dr. Harkly. He'll help me.

I was out of breath when I got there, breathing heavily. The receptionist look puzzled.

"Do you need a breathing mask or something?"

I shook my head and calmed down a bit. When my breathing was back to normal I asked for Dr. Harkly.

"Do you have an appointment?"

I shake my head,"No."

"I'm sorry, but I can't let you see him if you don't have an appointment."

"Please, this is a matter between life and death!"

She studies me for a second before grabbing her phone.

"Yes, Dr. Harkly? I'm sorry to bother you, but there's a young man," I whispered my name," Matthew, here to see you. He says it's urgent." she pauses,"Ok, I'll send him right up."

She tells me the room number and I sprint up the stairs. I found it quickly and burst into the room.

"Matt, my boy, how have you been?" Dr. Harkly was sitting behind a desk.

"Not good. Not good at all."

"What's wrong? Please have a seat." he points to a chair and I sit down, playing with my hands anxiously.

"It's, well. I haven't been myself for the past few weeks. I get upset so easily, and sometimes I even black out, destroying everything I'm around. I'm scared, Dr. Harkly. I'm scared I'm really going to hurt someone." I think about Carter, his beautiful brown eyes full of horror as I gripped his throat, and a shiver ran through me.

"Ok, Matt. Let's do some brain scans, ok?" I nod my head, and he takes me to an X-ray machine. I get undressed and slip on the hospital gown before I lay in it.

It doesn't take very long, and before I know it were back into his office.

He was staring at the X-rays of my brain, frowning.

"It looks to me Matt, as if ur frontal lobe has swelled up. Have you hit it on anything?"

I shake my head,"Not that I know of."

"Well, it's definitely affecting you. I can give you some medicine to stop the swelling, but I suggest getting a Therapist. They will be able to help you with your emotional problems. And theyre plenty of pills you can take to help your emotions stay steady." he scribbles down a number,"Here's Dr. Emily's number. She is a great therapist, and she'll gladly help you."

I take the number and thank him.

"I suggest you go see her as soon as you can."

I nod my head.
