Chapter 12
Mike and his parents arrived at Zoey's house, across the street at the right time that Zoey had told Mike about. Jack and Jessie thought that this is a great idea and a good way of helping their son one hundred percent more than the other times that they've tried to help him.
"Mike! Come in, come in." Zoey says as she welcomes the family into her home.
"Hello Mike," Anna comes out of a small room right next to the living room.
"Hi Mrs. Greenwald,"
"Are you ready for me to help you?"
"Yeah."
They so walk towards the room, Zoey follows, but Anna told her to stay out of the room, because she needed to talk to him in private.
"Ok Mike…now I'm just going to ask you some questions and I'll like for you to answer them, ok?"
"Ok…but I'm not sure how therapy is going to do anything."
"It'll help you by looking through your past and how to learn from it to control the future. Now…let me think…you've said you had M.P.D ever since you were born, correct?"
"Yeah…"
"When did you first change into another personality and didn't remember as you turn back?"
"Well…I guess I'll have to say that I was about…five or six years old…on my birthday." Anna was writing stuff down, taking notes as he continues.
"Ok, ok…now…let's continue on with starting something…like…your childhood Mike, your childhood. Tell me…Mike…what exactly was your childhood like?" Mike sighs; he remembers his past very well.
"Well…I think I should start from when I was…starting kindergarten. You see…my first day of it was like this…"
*Flashback*
Mike was walking into the classroom with Jessie; she was bringing him in to class on his first day. Jessie could feel Mike's little hands squeezing onto hers a little, so she looks down and finds her son looking scared and nervous, so she bends down to talk to him.
"Sweetie…are you alright?" He shakes his head 'no'.
"Mommy…I'm scared…what if nobody likes me?" Jessie had a frown on her face; she knew what her son was talking about.
When Mike first turned six years old, he's been acting up a lot lately: Changing into different personalities, that was his problem. Jack and Jessie saw a doctor about one month later, he told them about his disorder, and how there's no cure what so ever.
"Now sweetie…I'm pretty sure that somebody will want to be your friend,"
"Really?"
"Really." She reassures him.
Mike smiles a little and watches his mother walking towards the teacher. While she does so, another boy walks over towards him, wanting to greet him.
"Hey, I'm Kevin, what's your name?"
"I'm Mike," Kevin reaches out and shakes his hand.
"Hey Mike, do you like to draw?" Before Mike could answer…he turns into Chester.
"Listen kid, back in my day…we didn't need drawing for fun…we were just find with books." Kevin looks at him in a weird way…until he starts laughing.
"What was that…you sound very weird. Get away from me, you…you…you freak!" Mike gasps and turns back into himself, not knowing what had just happened.
Jessie returns to her son as he starts to cry a little, wishing he'd known what had happened.
*End of Flashback*
"And that's my first time at school…becoming the school's freak."
Anna was still writing down on her notepad. She swore she could hear some small sniffs and cries as Mike's remembering his past.
"It's ok Mike…its ok."
"Thanks…" He grabs a tissue and blows a little.
"What about first grade Mike?"
"Well…nothing really happened that year…that or I can't remember. But I do however remember third grade…"
*Flashback*
"What a freak!"
"He's so lonely, and he always will be!"
"How can he ever go on in life!"
Mike was now nine years old, and he was now crying in his classroom. Everybody else was outside enjoying recess, while he was sitting down, crying to himself, about how he wishes he was never born, and how he'll never have a friend in the world.
"Excuse me?" Says a girl's voice coming from the classroom door.
Mike lifts his head a little and sees a girl with light brown hair, wearing a purple shirt, and wearing blue jeans.
"I was walking down the hall and thought I could hear crying…are you ok?" Mike smiles a little at the third grader, hoping he can keep staying as himself instead of someone else.
"No…I'm always along, I have no friends…and I have a condition that ruins my life." The girl looks sad for him for a while, but then walks over towards him.
"I'm Alice by the way…hmm…did I see you at school here before?" He looks a little confused.
"No…are you new?"
"Na…I'm in a different class."
Mike turns into Vito and grabs her arm.
"How about a smooch for Vito?" He leans in for a kiss, until Alice slaps him right across the face. Mike gasps and turns back into himself, rubbing his cheek, Alice looked completely shocked at him.
"What's wrong with you?"
"Alice…I…"
"I don't care! We've only met just now and you pan to…to…to kiss me?"
Mike looked ashamed at himself.
"Wow…I guess all of those rumors are true…you really are a freak."
Mike sits back down and starts to cry again as Alice storms out of the room to head outside.
*End of Flashback*
Anna was writing down some more notes as she continues to listen to Mike's talking and sniffing.
"It was another bad moment in my life! I just wondered why I was even born with it in the first place!"
"Ok Mike…I just need you to calm down. Hmmm…one more memory will do it Mike, just think of anything from the past…any moment at all." He sits up and starts to think for a moment, then lies back down.
"Well…there's sixth grade…but I think that time was the worst."
"Go on…" Anna was now getting ready to write again.
"Ok…but I must warn you…I almost made a terrible mistake…"
*Flashback*
It was a Saturday evening; Mike was just walking along the sidewalk, down the park. He sighs a little as he sits down at a park bench; just then, a girl from his school runs up towards him.
"Mike, Mike!" Mike looks up; he finally thought that he was going to get his first friend.
"What do you want…Jenny?" She was panting and looks worried.
"Mike…did you happened to go on YouTube at all lately?"
"No…why?" Mike looked worried and concern about the whole thing.
"Well…but Mike, if I tell you this…please don't be mad, I didn't think it was pretty funny, I swear…but…"
"Yeah…"
"I'll just show you," And so she takes out her iphone and pulled up YouTube and showed him a new video that came out from one of his classmates.
When the video ended, Mike looked horrified, destroyed, and miserable. One of his classmates had made a video about his being a freak and how he should just die. But the worst part of the video was the ending: The guy who posted it said "Mike Smith is a filthy, disgusting, lonely, multi freak…who has M.P.D…and should die, like what he's supposed to do. He'll never find a friend, he'll never find or see the fact that his own family hates and doesn't love him, but most of all…he'll never find…love!"
This broke Mike's heart and ran home as fast as he could and went upstairs and took out a pocket knife from the bathroom drawer. His parents found him about to kill himself; they scream with fear and stops him from doing so.
They cuddle and try to comfort their son as he's crying in their chests, screaming and crying out "I want to die…I want to die!"
They continue to try and comfort him as much as they could, they could tell…that his condition has been ruining his life.
*End of Flashback*
Mike was now crying as he's remembering that faithful day, Anna looked depressed and sad for him, and Zoey comes into the room when she hears Mike crying and tries to comfort him.
"Shhh Mike…its ok." Mike stops crying and looks at his girlfriend with tears in his eyes.
"Thanks Zoey…I think that you'll the most wonderful person ever: You treat me like an actual human being, you care and love me for who I am…and I can't be any more grateful…than that." They smile and kiss once more as they walk out of the room so Jake and Jessie could talk with Anna about the whole thing.
Mike was lying in bed, thinking about the fact that Friday was Prom Night; he only hoped that everything will go well, hoping that he won't be harass or threatened at the Prom.
He looks at the ring that was sitting on his desk; he smiles and closes his eyes.
While he's dreaming, he could only think of Zoey in his sleep, knowing that all he needed as company…is his girlfriend.
