Derrick + Miles : SEASON 2 (boyxboy)

CHAPTER SEVEN: TELL ME NOW!!!!!

MILES

Derrick texted me last night.

I don't even remember my phone going off.

He told me "Nathan" was Nick.

I know his grandparents are glad that he didn't die in Afghanistan.

I'm happy for them.

He also said Nick's gonna go see a psychiatrist to try to get his memory back.

I hope everything works out for him.

I was laying across the bed when there was a knock on my door.

DYLAN: CAN I COME IN?

MILES: SURE.

Dylan closed the door.

DYLAN: YOU PUT ON QUITE THE SHOW LAST NIGHT.

MILES: DYLAN, WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

DYLAN: MILES, REALLY?

MILES: I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.

DYLAN: MILES, ARE YOU OK? THIS IS LIKE THE SECOND OR THIRD TIME YOU'VE WENT OFF ON SOMEONE AND HAVE NO RECOLLECTION.

MILES: WHO'D I GO OFF ON?

DYLAN: YOU REALLY DON'T KNOW?

MILES: I WOULDN'T BE ASKING IF I DID.

DYLAN: YOU DUG INTO GRANDMA EVE LAST NIGHT. IT WAS EPIC. ME, GARRETT, AND MILAN WERE JUST TALKING ABOUT IT (THEY JUST LEFT TO GO OVER TO KELDRIC'S HOUSE). YOU WERE A WHOLE OTHER PERSON. THE FIRE IN YOUR EYES AND THAT BLUNTNESS WAS LIKE WATCHING A EPISODE OF A SOAP OPERA. IT WAS ENTERTAINMENT AT IT'S BEST.

MILES: YOU'RE FUCKING WITH ME RIGHT?

DYLAN: NO. MILES, IS THERE SOMETHING GOING ON WITH YOU?

MILES: NOT TO MY KNOWLEDGE.

DYLAN: I THINK YOU MIGHT BE IN THE EARLY STAGES OF DEMENTIA OR ALZHEIMER'S.

MILES: DEMENTIA? ALZHEIMER'S? I DON'T THINK SO DYLAN.

DYLAN: THEN HOW DO YOU EXPLAIN THE FORGETFULNESS?

MILES: IF I TELL YOU SOMETHING, YOU'VE GOT TO PROMISE NOT TO TELL ANYBODY.

DYLAN: HAVE I EVER BROKE YOUR TRUST?

MILES: NO.

DYLAN: THEN THIS SITUATION SHOULD BE NO DIFFERENT.

MILES: OK...I DON'T UNDERSTAND IT MYSELF, BUT I COULD BE OK ALL DAY UNTIL ALL OF A SUDDEN I GET THIS SLIGHT HEADACHE AND THEN...

DYLAN: THEN WHAT?

MILES: I DON'T KNOW. IT'S LIKE I BLANK OUT OR SOMETHING. IT HAPPENED AT BRAD'S BIRTHDAY PARTY, THE DAY JONAH WAS BORN, AND APPARENTLY LAST NIGHT. THEN THE NEXT DAY I HAVE NO RECOLLECTION OF PRIOR EVENTS.  THEN ACCORDING TO YOU, I ACT DIFFERENTLY.
