Hello! I'm back with another update. This is just a really short Josh/Tom one. Hope you likey!
I Don't understand Why is this happening to me? I didn't do anything wrong, all I did was smoke a bit of grass. Lots of people do it, why am I being punished. Dad reckons everything is okay. But I know it was... I heard him and that Doctor talking. He doesn't know it, but I did. They asked me to leave the room, I was supicious after then. I just couldn't help but over hear the conversation. Now I wish I hadn't. Schizophrenia. The Doctor mentioned I could be a Schizophrenic. I'm not Crazy, not be. I don't need No Doctors in white coats telling me how to feel and think. But that was a couple of weeks a go. I now know that Doctor was right. The voices are more frequent, sometimes I can't think straight, but I now have medication for that, tiny white pills I need to take everyday. I am Josh Stevenson and I'm a Schizophrenic.
Tom entered his son's bedroom. Josh had been acting really odd and distant lately but he knew why. He still couldn't get his mind around it. Josh seemed fine months ago. But they Doctor's are claiming he always had this condition in it. Smoking the grass was 'the key to the door' as they had worded it. Not his boy. Josh was a kid, he shouldn't have this much stress on him.
"You okay mate?" Tom asked, perching on the edge of his son's bed. Josh was watching TV, Yet didn't seem to be paying much attention to it. Josh looked up and faked a smile "Fine!" he said. Tom could sense this wasn't the truth. "Want to talk?" he asked. Josh shrugged "About what?". Tom sighed "You can't fool me Josh... I am your Dad and I know you're scared!" Tom said gently. Josh sighed "Scared of what?" he asked, pretending he was fine, yet he was petrified of what might happen. Tom sighed and put his arm around his son's shoulder. "Josh?" Josh sighed "Fine... I hate not knowing what will happen next!" he admitted. Tom hugged his son "I know mate, But I promise you It will be fine!" he said, trying to stay strong.
Josh hugged his dad "Everyone probably thinks I'm some freak!" Tom shook his head "You don't know that!" he whispered. "Nobody thinks that!" he added. Josh sighed "Why me?" he asked gently. Tom felt a lump form in his throat. He didn't know how to answer that, he hugged Josh closer "Sometimes bad things happen to good people that they have no control over... but you're going to be fine!" Tom was sure that was true. Josh smiled, his Dad really was great and supportive. He was lucky to have a dad that loved him no matter what and he loved his Dad too. He didn't know what would happen next. But he just had to wait to find out.
Really short I know. But hope you liked it. Reviews are welcome as always. Who should I do next?
