The Search

Margaret being my only friend and companion that I can trust. I haven't been discharged yet by these Doctor's and I think the kitchen employee Susan likes me. I don't know how to feel about that? She has this look that if you take an old lady with facial hair than combine it with a blond wig under a hair net. Makes me want to puke every time. Ethan2 "I wouldn't judge though, she could be your next God mother" "Now the first one, she had some issues. I couldn't tell if she was blind or deaf" Ethan looks at the ceiling his thoughts clouding his head. Margaret's offer had him struggling in thought. Ethan2 "Or maybe both! above all I'll giver her points for being wavy" Ethan sits up as the Doctor arrives.

Dr. Jay Wilson "Alright then Mr. Ashford your physical came back clean" He sits on the wheeling chair and scoots towards me. "Its just that when we tested your urine, we found something that was alarming" Ethan2 "Must have been all your ego pilling up" The Doctor looks at his paper than at me. "It seems like that your blood has a lot of particles that we cant seem to identify" He stands up. "To be frank because of the condition and state we found you in we may need to run a mammogram on your brain" Ethan looks down. "It wont be anything major just to see if are speculations are right" The Doctor sighs. "Ethan I know you don't want to hear this?" Ethan looks up and cuffs his jawline down. "I don't even know Doc because I know its not going to help" Dr. Wilson looks up at a nurse. She gives him a doleful look.

The Room fills with silence until the Doctor's words only fill the room. "We believe that you may have a brain tumor" Not a word came from Ethan. He hold's the end of the bed down. Ethan2"Aw come on Cheer up mate!, maybe it's karma trying to get back at ya" The Doctor gives him a moment before continuing. Ethan smirks then chuckles. "Its all so clear now" Ethan lays back down. "Now I have an excuse not to pay my sister back" Dr. Wilson looks concerned. "Sir this is a serious matter" Ethan laugh's than sit's up again, "Yea it is because after when this is all done, guess who's getting paid" The Doctor raises a hand at Ethan. "Sir I know your in shock and frustrated but we can help you" Ethan rubs his templates. Ethan2 "It seems like the Doc hasn't gotten it through his head yet that your not sick" "Shut up no one was talking to you" The Nurse and Doctor look stunned. "Sir who are you talking too?" The nurse exclaims. "I need you to get out" The Doctor stands up and look's down at Ethan again. "Were going to help you Ethan if it's fees your worried about, your sister has already insisted" The Doctor get's cut off by Ethan's temper. "Will you just shut up!" Ethan2" Someone need's a nap" Ethan "I don't need your opinions, the both of you" The Doctor nods and gestures the nurse to leave before exiting himself. Ethan raises his arms above his head.

Etahn2" I keep telling you your sister is bad news" Ethan "My sister isn't bad news, okay you don't know anything about her" Ethan2" Dude I live inside of your head of course I know about her" Ethan scratches his dark brown sweaty hair. Ethan2" I'm with you everyday Ethan besides how many times you try to get rid me, I will always come back" Ethan closes his eyes. Ethan" Why am I evening listening to you" Ethan2 laughs. Ethan2" because I know things that you don't" Ethan opens his eyes. Ethan "Like what?" Ethan2 becomes silent. Ethan " Other me?" Ethan hit's his head. "Are you there?" He hit's his head again. Ethan "Hello!" He continues to smack his head. Ethan looks toward the desk and shifts towards it. He looks at the plain gray wooden table and grips it down. He lifts his head up and just when he's about to slam it a figure walks in.

"Margaret?" She moves the curtains from the entrance and smiles. "Hi, I came to check on you" Ethan let's go of the table. "I brought you extra clothes" She lays them down on the bed. Ethan "The Doctor says that I may need an mammogram" She smiles softly. "I know" Ethan looks surprised. Ethan " What do you mean, you know?" She moves from the side of the bed towards Ethan. "I requested a mammogram because I thought it will help us to discover what's wrong with you" Ethan shifts his eyebrows before backing up. Ethan " But you told me we were going to see a therapist, Why a mammogram?" Margaret takes out her hand. Ethan looks at it than her.

Ethan "What's going on?" She put's her hand down and clears her throat. "I did some research last night and I found some interesting things on your condition" Ethan's voice begins to raise. Ethan " I'm already facing enough hell as it is Margaret!" Margaret hold onto his shoulders. "That's why your going to get the help you need, so we can fix you" Ethan "We?!" Ethan shakes his head. Ethan " Who's we, because it's not me and you" Ethan moves to the other part of the room. Ethan " It feels like this is all about you and it has nothing to do with me" Ethan points to himself while facing his sister. Ethan "I just feel like your using me because before you never cared for my condition, why why" Ethan squats down. Ethan " This is why I cant trust people, mom, dad or even you Margaret!"

He points. "I never lied to you Ethan!, I've just kept never brought it up!"

Ethan "Why now, were you planning this all along"

Margaret shakes her head. "Why would I do that Ethan, your my brother"

Ethan2" Hypocrite" Ethan bites his inner mouth. Ethan2" Told you she was bad news"

Ethan " and where have you been all this time, huh?!" Margaret pauses at her brothers reaction. "I call you multiple times and you don't even answer"

"Ethan you need to get that mammogram because thing's are just getting worst"

Ethan " that's why!, I've told you before that there is somebody here!"

Ethan" Somebody is here with me, but I don't know how to explain it"

"Your not crazy Ethan just sick, Okay!" Ethan scratches his head again.

Ethan "Hey said you were bad news" Margaret looks confused.

"Who said I was bad news?" Ethan "The other me said you were bad news"

Ethan2" and fat"

Ethan" and fat"

Ethan2 " and you look like Jim Carrey's left foot"

Ethan "What?"

Margaret looks puzzled.

Ethan "The point is I don't trust you"

Margaret "Ethan I sear you to you this is the only thing that I've kept from you"

Ethan clenches his fist.

Margaret " Do you remember the time that I saved you when you feel into the lake"

Ethan nods. Margaret "Or when I stood up for you against those middle school bullies or when you wanted to sneak out and I pinky promised you to keep it a secret" Ethan nods again. "I'm sorry that I didn't tell you about this" She takes a couple step's forward. "I promise to tell you everything from now on"

She get's closer. Ethan2 " I smell bullsheeeetz" Margaret get's even closer. "Can we just forget about this and move one besides it's just one little test" Ethan2 "It stinks too!, God someone open up a window!" Ethan focuses his attention on his sisters glistening eyes that shines a cool dark brown. Ethan2 "I warned you Ethan!, she's not normal!" Ethan heads for the door. He run's down the hallway. Ethan2 "Run boy like your life depends on it!"
