The Raye Residence
I stare at myself in the mirror, holding the pill in my hand. I've been taking it every morning like Dr. Hunter directed, and I know that it takes a while to actually start working, but I don't want it to. What if it changes who I am? What if I turn into a completely different person?
Who am I kidding, it'd be better if I turned into a new person. A new version of Brinley Raye. But, at the same time, I don't want to lose who I am, even if I'm not at my best. If people start liking the Brin that's on meds, then what happens to the Brin without medication? She will be forgotten forever. Do I really want that?
I sigh and take a deep breath.
I don't know what I want, but I know what the doctor thinks I need. He's got a PhD, so he has to be right, right?
Closing my eyes, I throw the pill in my mouth and swallow it dry.
When I open my eyes, I imagine the girl in the mirror as someone else. Someone happier, someone who smiles, laughs, and has lots of friends. Someone who's not me.
Maybe the Brin I am without the pill is better off being forgotten.
