"Now Noah, I want to make this quite clear to you, seeming as you do have Multiple Sclerosis doesn't mean the end of the world. There are treatment and medications we can prescribe for you to help you cope through the day. You will be able to live a normal life at this stage but we will keep an eye on things. As soon as anything changes, we will come back and look at what changes need to be made"
Noah was looking towards the ground at the carpet at his feet. Sitting in Dr Hughes office not looking at him, taking in what news he had just been told. He had been getting weaker since the shooting and kidnapping with Zac and Zoe. He wasn't sure how he could even begin to comprehend the situation he would now be living in.
"Noah, do you understand what I am saying? It is not the end of the world young man. You should at least still be able to be yourself. As for when things will significantly change I am not sure. That depends on a number of things and how willing you are to work on things to keep most changes at bay so to speak" Dr Hughes continued on.
He looked at Noah. He was unable to see he's face or what type of reaction he was having to the news that he was giving him. He knew it was somewhat that Noah wouldn't be able to handle this news at all, but he knew he had the support of Luke and he's whole entire family behind him and with that he prayed and hoped that it would bring some sort of comfort and healing to Noah as well as Luke. Luke would be affected by this as well. He hated to see such a wonderful person and couple have their worlds turned inside out.
"Noah, please speak to me. Your silence isn't somewhat of a comfort to me and if you do need someone to talk to I am can give you a referral to a wonderful Physcitrian who can help you if you feel you need to talk to someone more less out of the loop here and someone who can help make you understand better"
Noah looked over at Dr Hughes. In some way he knew he was right but in another way he really did need to see a physc in a way. He wasn't crazy at all. He was just trying he's best to come to terms with what he had just been told. He was just wondering how he could even begin to make any changes to he's life.
The only other thing that came into he's mind was how he would even tell Luke. God how could he even put Luke through this, I mean look at what has happened to him, both of them actually. From he's own father killing he's mother, then trying to kill Luke. Then there was the whole Ameera situation which he caused himself, then blaming Luke for he's dad jumping in New York Harbour and killing himself.
Luke then trying to run for Oakdale University student president and the rigging the student election. God how stupid that whole situation was and became, but they found their way back to each other again. Then the whole Brian situation, god how fucked up was that really was. But again they found their way back to each other, but not before Damian came back into the picture and crazy Zac and Zoe kidnapping and shooting situation. Just crazy but in a way it had made them strong. But how could this really make things any better or even bring them or keep them together in the first place?
Maybe he had to accept that he would have to do this without Luke's help. Without the support of both Luke and he's family. How could this even keep them together, It wouldn't be even be fair to make Luke at he's side. Trying to accept this whole new situation that he would now himself have to face. No, no he had to do this on he's own, without he's support at all. The question is how?
