Chapter 15: Meeting Dr. Peters

No ones POV:

Michel and Jesse arrived at the medical office and entered the building. The receptionist greeted them friendly. "Uhm, hello. I called you earlier and made a appointment for Mr Orekhov." Jesse said. "Yes i got you right here. Follow me into the consulting room." The woman answered and walked to one of the doors and opened it for the men. "Dr Peters will be here soon." She smiled and closed the door leaving the room again. Mike sat down on the treatment couch and played with his fingertips. Jesse placed his hand on top of Michels. "Are you nervous?" He asked and the tall boy nodded. "Everything will be fine. We just need to find out what's your problem and we can leave again." Jesse promised his friend.

After ten minutes of waiting Dr Peters entered the room and shook everyones hands. "My name is Dr Peters, you are Mr Orekhov, right?" He looked at the man on the treatment couch. "Yes..." Michel answered really nervous. "So... can you explain to me what's wrong?" Michel shook his head and looked at Jesse. "I can explain. Well... last night at about 2 AM or something i woke up from a movement. I ignored it but it returned stronger. Soon i realised it was him twitching. He looked terrified and wimpered and i thought he was just having a nightmare so i tried to calm him down. I felt his heart beating hard and fast and he wasn't breathing normally. His intired body was shaking. I got a little scared and tried waking him up but he didn't react at all. Suddenly he started up from his sleep yelling like crazy and hid himself away into the smallest corner of the bed. He looked around with wide opened eyes, terrified and completely ignoring me starring at him. All my attempts getting close to him or calming him were useless. Two of our friends were sleeping in the other room. Awaken from Mikes scream they busted in and Nic, one of our friends, supposed something what he called 'night terror' and said Michel would calm down after ten or fifteen minutes. And he was right. Everything was normal again and Mike couldn't remember a thing the next morning." Jesse said and Michel was shocked about his own behaviour. Dr Peters listened interested. "Ok... i see. Your friend was absolutly right. Mr Orekhov is suffering on something what is called 'pavor nocturnus', or simple 'night terror'. I'll give you some sedative pills, which you can take in the evening. They should reduce the chances of you getting another of these occurrences." The doctor said and gave Mike a box with the pills. "One at a time." He added. "Thanks doc." Michel said and put the pills in his pocket. "But if the occurrences are coming back i'll give you, Mr Baron, some tips how you should react as soon as he starts up from his sleep:
1. You should never touch him because it could make it even worse for him and he could possibly hurt you.
2. If you still want to calm him you should speak in a low and soft voice. Don't yell! It could worsen the situation too.
And if something around him, like his living condition or the stressful situations, changes and the occurrences return, call me and come over again. We might have found the trigger of it.
That's basically it. I wish you the best and unadventurous nights." He shook the mens' hands again and left.

The boys said goodbye to the receptionist and got into the car. "Well... there we have it. You'll be fine." Jesse put his arms around Mike. "But he said i could hurt you... I don't want that to happen! I think it's the best for you if you don't sleep in my nearness anymore..." Michel hung his head. "No, no, no... You have problems and i'll be there for you. This night terror is just another reason for me to stay with you!" Jesse dissented and kissed his loved one. Michel smiled uncertain and kissed him back. Jesse started the car and drove home.

They pulled up to their house to see a police car pulling up as well. "Hello Mr Orekhov and Mr Baron, it's nice to see you again. We want to give you some information about the coming months." Officer Thompson said. "Yeah sure, come in." Jesse opened the front door for the officers. They all placed around the kitchen table and Heather and Nic joyned as well. "Officer Thompson, Officer Miller, that's Nicholas Morgan and his girlfriend Heather White." Jesse introduced his friends to the police. The officers both nodded greeting. "So... what is in store for us the next couple weeks?" Michel asked curious. "Yes... uhm... at first we want to asked y'all if you want to press charges against Lila Rossi because of the kidnapping, the supposedly dual attempted murder and all the other crimes she commited." "Yes, we want that definetly!" Jesse and Michel answered synchronous. "Ok... so a lawsuit will be suited as soon as possible. We also kind of want to get a confession about the first attack with the car because we assume the damaged car in a storage room of the storage warehouse down the street from her apartment. She rejects every accusation about the car to be there. The storage room is in her name. All we need is a search warrant. That and the other recriminations will be disgussed and she'll hopefully get punishment for what she has done. For that to be a success, we need y'all, Mr Orekhov, Mr Baron, Mrs White and Mr Morgan, as witnesses for the process." Officer Miller explained. "Sounds good to me." Jesse said and the others nodded. "Good. Y'all get a witness in four months at the earliest with all the information about the lawsuit. We'll see you in court." Officer Thompson said and the officers left the house again.

"That's crazy..." Heather noticed. "Yup... pretty insane." Michel added. "By the way... what did the doc say?" Nic asked interested. "Well... it's exactly like you said and he gave him the pills he has in his pocket to avoid such events in the future." Jesse answered. "Now we just need to wait and hope everything will be ok." Michel added uncertain. Everybody noticed his unsureness and they all pulled him in a hug.

The following months went by pretty silent. With the sleeping pills Michel and Jesse were both able to sleep peacefully. After a few weeks the tall boy decided to reduce the pills again and it worked pretty well. Nic, Heather, Mike and Jesse all got thier witness summons for the first and hopefully last trial in the case of Lila Rossi. A few days before the lawsuit Michel had some normal nightmares but his boyfriend was able to calm him down without any complications.

Then the big day has come. The four friends drove to the court. Michel bobbed up and down in tension. He was scared of seeing Lila again and excited about this whole trial at the same time. Jesse placed his hand on Mikes knee and smiled. "Everything will be fine..." he said with a soft voice. Michel just smiled back. "Hopefully..." he thought. "We are there!" Nic promulgated and parked the car. Everybody got out of the car and entered the courtroom.
