Chapter 13: Legends Never Die

*Claire's P.O.V*

"So when is brendon getting out of the hospital?" Grayson asks. We've been "hanging" out for the past 2 days and I've gotten to know him a lot better. Brendon on the other hand, he was let out yesterday but was told to stay on bed rest. If I know him the way I do, he won't.
  "Well being Brendon he never listens to anybody so probably tomorrow," I say. Graysons mouth forms and 'O' shape.
  "So how close are you and Brendon," he asks out of no where, making me choke a little.
  "What do you mean," I ask innocently. He lets out a laugh after I say that and I look at him confused.
  "Come on Claire, I'm not stupid. The fact the you talk about him non stop and blush at his name, thats says a lot," he says laughing.
   "Ok just shut up," I smile and punch him. I hear the cafeteria door shut and I look up to see Brendon staring at me with a hurt face. Shit. He turns to walk out and I chase after him.
  "Brendon wait," I call after him. I finally catch up to him and jump in front of him, making him roll his eyes.
  "Brendon what the hell," I snap, not meaning to. He tries to walk past but I push him back. I'm so glad no one is in the halls or it would look like I'm attacking him.
  "Brendon, what is your problem," I ask firmly.
  "Whats my problem, how about you Claire. I got into an accident and you already forget about me," he snaps. He thinks I forgot about him, please he was the topic of the conversation.
  "Brendon what are you talking about," I ask calmer but still roll my eyes.
  "You and table boy in there having a good time," he hisses. Grayson? Oh my god you have to be kidding me.
  "Brendon, Grayson and I met 2 days ago. There is NOTHING happening. I mean hell you were who we were talking about. About how I love you so much," I give the explanation. When I finish saying this Brendons face relaxes.
  "Damn it Claire, I'm sorry I just got jealous. God why am I such a child," he angrily says, trying to throw his arms up but fail due to the sling.
  "Brendon stop. It's fine ok, just dont worry," I say calmly, griping his arms gently.
  "Hey guys everything ok," I look behind Brendon to see Grayson handcuffed being held by a nurse, coming our way.
  "Grayson, what's happening," I ask stepping in front of Brendon.
  "Just going in for a new test," he says coming closer. "Oh my god Brendon!" Brendon smiles to him making Grayson smile back.
  "Come on," the nurse says harshly pulling him away. I frown as to thats how I was treated, still to the day sometimes.
  "Bye Claire, bye Brendon," Grayson yells.
  "Bye Grayson," we say in unison.
  What new treatment, Grayson never said anything about a new treatment. I'll ask him about it tomorrow. Speaking of treatments I have to do a new test, something with my mind.
  "Brendon didn't you say something about a new test I have to do," I turn back around facing him.
  "Well after I checked in with Sarah i was told to come to get you but you know," he says laughing at the end. "I guess maybe we should go now."
  He leads me down the hall to a door. He opens it and it opens to a new hall I've never seen before. The dim light lit above doesnt help the horror scene in front of me. We walk down it until we get to a door with a plaque on it, testing room. Brendon opens the door where we find Sarah talking to someone I've never seen before. Their conversation ends when they see us.
  "Brendon, Claire I was starting to get worried. Now that your here I guess I should go over what's happening. Basically we hook you up with wires all over and we are going to read you, no pain," Sarah smiles. (😜)
  "Brendon go ahead and set her in that chair while I get this started," the man I've never seen before says. Brendon leads me to the chair and helps me up since its high up. I look at him for some sort of answer but I get a shrug.
  The man comes in and starts taking the wires with sticky things at the end, and placing them on me. I want to snap his arm in half for touching me but I cant really do that. Once that's done he goes back in the room locking the door behind him.
  "Ok Claire, what I'm going to do is ask you questions and you are going to respond...its like a lie detector," he says. A lie detector, shit, I cant do that. I've been faking the whole time. Somehow I manage to force a nod.
  "Ok Claire...lets start simple to tell if this works, what is your full name," he asks into the intercom thing.
  "Claire Olivia Jackson," I simply respond. I think I'd know if that wasnt my real name.
  "Ok great it up and running, next question, what are your parents names," he asks. I thought they knew this shit already and talking about my parents bring back unwanted memories.
  "Grace and William Jackson," the answer somehow comes out. I don't like saying the name of the backstabbing bastards but it would of came out sooner or later.
  "Very good, do you think you are improving," the next question is asked. I mean all that was ever wrong with me was my mouth, what I did didnt say I was crazy.
  "Yeah I do think I am. I'm beyond happy that finally I'm showing myself," I say truthfully. And I am, I'm happy I'm finally showing myself to them that I'm not insane.
  "Do you wish to get out of here," what a stupid question. I can't see them but I give the mirror the 'are you stupid' look.
  "Yeah I do, just to see the world again without someone on my tail every 5 minutes," I say.
"I see where your coming from, do you believe brendon is making you better," well why else have I "behaved" all of a sudden.
  "Yeah I do, working on this music has been the best thing ever, even if he has no clue what he's doing sometimes, he's one of the best godamn doctors out there," I can practically feel his smile.
  "Very well today was a practice run and you answered truthfully on all of them... Great job," I hear the door unlock and Brendon comes in with the biggest smile on his face. He starts unhooking me and comes closer.
  "If they weren't watching I'd so kiss you right now."

Long chapter surprisingly. What are your thoughts on Grayson? Don't get to attached😉 I should stop befor so give to much.
