TIMOTHY POV
My personal assistant has been helping me through my illness. I can't believe it, but I think having her is helping me out. She's been strict about my diet and how much sleep I'm getting, and well, it's taking its effect........in a good way. Anyway, I'm meeting her up today in her office to do my check-up. I hope everything will go as planned and that my illness is gone. I get in my car and drive over to the building where I was told to go.
"Hello, what can I do for you," the lady at the front counter said.
"Hi, I'm here to see Dr. Follden," I said.
"Ah, I'm assuming you are her patient," she said.
"Yes," I replied.
The lady then went on her computer and signed me in, and notified the office.
"Okay, she is not here right now. Dr. Follden is in a meeting; she will be back in about 15 minutes," the lady explained. "In the meantime, her office is room 45," she pointed down the hall.
"Okay, thank you," and then I walked away.
Once I arrived at Dr. Follden's office, I waited for her at one of the seats she had as I sit there in that office while the ceiling fan spins in circles. My mind goes into a deep thought of things that have been happening. Things I have planned to say or confess to Follden. Maybe I should talk about my relationship and how hard it is to be long-distance. By the way, I haven't seen or spoken to Lisa since my birthday, and that was a while back too. Anyway, I took out my phone to kill time and went to messages to view the last few messages I sent to Lisa. Being away for a while now, It's starting to affect me; I want to see her or hear her voice.

Timothy: Lisa, you still there.
(END OF TEXT)
Of course, nothing, she responds none of my text.
*door opens*
"Oh, Timothy, I didn't realize that you were here," Dr. Follden arrived.
"Oh, hi, Ruby," I replied.
"Is everything okay? I walked in, and you were a bit upset, is something okay," she asked me.
I've talked to Ruby before about many problems, and she seems to have a solution to everything. I know in the text a few paragraphs above that I said that I should open up about my long-distance relationship but, I don't think it's the right time now. I'm hoping Lisa someday will get the letters and messages that I've been sending her.
"Timothy, it's okay, you can ask me," she said.
"It's nothing; it's okay," I replied.
"Well, okay, just let me know if you want to share something," she said, then we got on with the checkup.
"So, Ruby, what are we seeing here? Is my illness gone," I asked.
"Well, from your test results, it seems that your illness has gone down," she said. "Your blood pressure levels are back to normal."
"Oh, thank you," I said.
"Now, remember, keep eating the diet plan that I've given you if you want to remain healthy," she said.
"I will."
I got up from the seat and left her office. Everything is going fine..............................................................................
Or so I thought.
THE NEXT DAY
"Timothy, I want these done by today," my boss slammed 2 folders onto my desk.
"Boss, that's too much work," I said.
"I don't care, if I don't get those in by~
"I understand that, but you have to know that~
"by this week, I'm not getting that promotion from corporate, and this office will~," he continued to talk over me.
"Yes, but can you reschedule my work~
"will be going overtime next week."
"OKAY, WILL YOU SHUT UP!!!!!" I yelled at him.
Everyone in the office heard my voice loud in the clear and stopped for a brief moment to look over at the boss and me. Everyone knew that the boss was an asshole, but no one was brave enough actually to confront him about anything. But today was something different; I felt something snap.
"YOU HAVE ME DOING YOUR DIRT WORK FOR SOME STUPID PROMOTION OF YOURS!!!" I yelled.
*Yeri comes to my side*
"Okay, Timothy calms down," Yeri said.
"FOR A WHOLE FUCKING MONTH, I'VE BEEN GETTING ASSIGNMENTS AFTER ASSIGNMENTS AFTER ASSIGNMENTS!!!! DO NOT GET NOT GET ANY REST!!" I continued to yell.
"Timothy, stop it, please," Yeri begged me.
"I'M THE HARDEST WORKING PERSON HERE; YOU HAD ME WORK ON HOLIDAYS!!!!"
"Timothy, calm down," my boss said.
"NO FUCK YOU!!!" I yelled back. "YOU KNOW WHAT I WANT; I DON'T WANT TO DO YOU DIRTY WORK ANYMORE. TAKE THESE ASSIGNMENTS AND S~SHOVE~
"Timothy, are you okay," Yeri asked.
"s~shove i~it up y~your a~."
That's when I fainted and fell onto the ground.
A FEW HOURS LATER
My eyes slowly began to open up. A white bright light, shining down across my face. Gaining visibility, I noticed I wasn't in my house, or Lisa's for that matter. I was in the hospital. In there were my parents and Dr. Follden, all visiting. In the back of the room was a nurse.
"Timothy," my mom said.
"Hey, mom," I replied.
"We heard what happened at work today," she said. "Are you okay."
"Yeah, mom, I'm fine," she said.
Just then, the nurse gave me a glass of water.
"Here you go," she gave it to me.
"Thank you," I said. "So, nurse, how long am I going to be staying here."
"Well, we're in a protocol of your faint. Dr. Follden told us about an illness you had," the nurse said. "We'll be running some test, taking your blood to see what's wrong."
"Does Lisa know about this," I said.
"No, mom, I just fainted," I chuckled out.
"Here, text her real quick," she said, handing me my phone.
(TEXT MESSAGES)
Here goes nothing.
Timothy: Lisa, it's me, Timothy.
Timothy: Lisa, are you there
Timothy: Baby, I have to tell you something
Timothy: I'm in the hospital, by the way; I hope you can call me back, love you.

"Did she text you back," my dad asked?
I faked smiled.
"Yeah.......she said I hope you feel better."
