This morning I've decided that it's time to get some answers to why my personality split.

I had to lie to my parents and say that me and Dylan joined the gym.

I don't want them involved.

Hell I don't want them anywhere near this, even though they've noticed my behavior change (that's all Les y'all know I'm good as gold).

I was online doing some research last week and I stumbled upon Dr. Michelle Dawson. She's​ a well renouned psychologist who specializes in memory lost, D.I.D. patients, Alzheimer's/dementia patients, and bipolar patients. She's won awards and all types of honors for her work, so why not give this a try.

I called her offices last week and made an appointment and here I am.

Her and her long time friend Dr. Gary Felton opened this practice (Hope + Faith) 10 years ago.

I've read about some of the people they've helped. They don't stop until they get results.

Me & Dylan are sitting in the waiting room.

She's almost done with her first patient.

DYLAN: ARE YOU NERVOUS?

MILES: KIND OF, BUT I HAVE TO DO THIS. IT'S THE ONLY WAY FOR ME TO GET ANSWERS.

DYLAN: LES WON'T LET ME GET ANY KIND OF HINT OR CLUE. THE ONLY THING HE KEEPS SAYING IS HE'S PROTECTING YOU AT ALL COST. THERE'S THIS BIG SECRET AND IF YOU EVER FOUND OUT YOUR WORLD WOULD COME CRASHING DOWN.

MILES: WHAT IS THIS SECRET? YOU'VE TOLD ME THAT HE'S HOLDING ON TO THIS SECRET FOR DEAR LIFE.

DYLAN: ACCORDING TO LES, WHATEVER IT IS WAS SO PAINFUL AND TRAUMATIC THAT YOU SOMEHOW BLOCKED IT OUT. DID ANYTHING HAPPEN TO YOU RECENTLY?

MILES: NOTHING BESIDES GETTING GAY BASHED AND SHOT.

DYLAN: MILES, HE SAYS YOU KNOW WHAT IT IS. YOU BLOCKED IT OUT.

MILES: DYLAN, IF I COULD REMEMBER WHAT IT IS I WOULD TELL YOU, BUT I HAVE NO CLUE WHAT LES IS TALKING ABOUT.

DYLAN: DO YOU THINK HE'S LYING?

MILES: BASED OFF EVERYTHING YOU'VE TOLD ME ABOUT LES, PROBABLY NOT.

DYLAN: THEN YOU HAVE TO FIND OUT AND FIND SOME WAY TO PUT IT BEHIND YOU. I KNOW LES WAS CREATED TO PROTECT YOU, BUT IT'S TIME FOR YOU TO REGAIN CONTROL OF YOUR LIFE. YOU'RE STRONGER THAN YOU KNOW.

MILES: WHAT IF I FIND OUT AND I'M NOT STRONG ENOUGH TO HANDLE IT? WHAT IF LES TAKES CONTROL OVER MY LIFE... FOREVER?

DYLAN: THAT CAN'T HAPPEN. LES IS A TICKING TIME BOMB JUST READY TO EXPLODE.

MILES: I WONDER WHY HE CHOSE TO TELL YOU AND NOT DERRICK.

DYLAN: I WONDER THE SAME THING AS WELL.
