Mitch looked around, he couldn't remember the doctor leaving. He thought back but just couldn't remember, "when did the doctor leave?" he questioned, "ah well. Shall we leave to my appointment?" he shrugged his shoulders slightly.

"I think the doctor said that.." she began to say but there was another doctor that came in for mitch. "I think my statement was finished."

The teacher jumped a little when the other doctor came in, he didn't like hospitals and when someone waltzed in like that it creeped him out, "you aren't going to stab me with a needle are you?"

"Not unless you need to have surgery," the doctor said with a smile. "I'll just need you to step onto this scale for a brief second and then we can know whether or not you should be admitted again."

Mitch stared at the doctor with a furrowed brow, he wanted to say, 'what if I don't want to step on the scale,' but figured he knew the answer and stepped on it. He groaned. Well, from not eating he was in the 90's, but right now he weighed 105 pounds. Which was more than last time. And he'd been eating to. The teacher stared at the numbers though and started breathing a little quicker in a panic and closed his eyes. Mitch knew he needed to calm down so attempted to just relax. "Can I get off the scale now? I don't want to be on It." he said stubbornly after using the wall it was near for support. Mitch wanted to throw a tantrum and yell at the doctor for making him gain weight and step on the scale but felt slightly better knowing he was getting a little better even though it was slow. He liked the slow factor; it made him think he was in more control.

"Well it's good your gaining control again," the doctor said with a smile. "I want to see you up a bit more since your still under weight. Being underweight can be bad for your heart and all your other organs."
"What do you mean he's gained control?" Delilah asked.
"Well see the issue with eating disorders is that you get so wrapped up in losing weight that essentially the eating disorder takes control of you so whenever Mitch refuses to eat or forces himself to throw up he's giving into the disorder."

"The voice said I had to though, it kept calling me names and saying things..." he started to get a little nervous and got off the scale as quick as he could, "it's mad at me right now. Isn't this enouph weight?" he asked, but shook his head to try and think logically, "I had a heart attack before, a year, maybe two...I can't remember anymore for some reason but I had one before, how much at risk am I right now?" he questioned wanting to hide in a corner. He didn't want anyone looking at him right now but said nothing and delt with it.

"Well while you stay thin the lining of your heart is weakened making it more proabable that you will get a heart attack. The chances have increased by at least fifty percent. If you value your life and your family I would suggest finding someone you can connect wiht easily and talking to them." the doctor said.
"Rosalie would be perfect for that," delilah interjected.

Mitch stared at the doctor, "ok...I'll talk to Rosalie about stuff. So, all I have to do is remain calm, no stress, just breath, right?" he questioned, someone had to tell that to his dad. Andy had alway's had a weak heart, Mitch remembered his father having seizures and small heart attacks when he was a kid. Mitch could only call an ambulance. Andy seemed to never have them now, as far as Mitch knew. But things were awefully stressful lately. The teacher sighed, "is there any other tests? Can I go back to work soon?" he questioned hoping all the questions he asked would get answered.

"You need to get back to your proper weight but you may go home now and we'll give Delilah's prescription to Cast so he can look over it," the doctor said before leaving.
Delilah had stood as the dog was escorted out and seemed impatient to get out.

With a sigh of relief, Mitch thanked the Lord they could go. The hospital gave him the heebee jeebee's. Mitch didn't want to gain weight though, but he had to, but what if people made fun of him? What if they laughed and pointed and called him names and-. Mitch took Delilah's hand, "lets go. Please let's just go," he said quickly, "do you need to do anything on the way home? Go anywhere, get anything?" he walked at a slow pace towards the hospital exit with Delilah in hand.

She went with him, shaking her head in response to the questions. Delilah wondered why he was holding her hand and what he was thinking.
"What are you think?" she asked finally.

Mitch hesitated, but he trusted Delilah. He remembered her troubled life and meeting her at McDonalds years ago with her sister and him with his brothers, sister, and dad. The teacher couldn't help wonder if they created even more trouble for the sisters and guilt swept over him. "...I...don't want people to laugh at me or make fun of me, say hurtful things, I'm afraid they will and they probably think it. I'm afraid of thoughts and words from people, more afraid that they are addressed to me or even worse, made to be behind my back. I'm afraid to gain weight and I'm afraid to lose anymore. I'm afraid I'll have a heart attack yet I'm afraid Cast will make himself sick, dad is sick, Amelia's doing bad things, you might be mad or sad or hurt or sick, I'm afraid about many things and I don't know why and I’m afraid I'll be alone. I'm afraid Rosalie doesn't like or love me at all and I'm just someone she looks at for a good laugh and deals with just because you and I are related by marriage though I know that isn't true. I'm guilty because our family troubled you more than how you were before you moved in and I'm sorry, I'd do anything to make it up to you." His breath picked up and he wiped his eyes so he wouldn’t act like a baby. Mitch was someone who made people laugh and did funny things, what had happened? Why did so many things change? “I’m sorry.”

"It's okay and what I had said about you earlier wasn't true. I was angry and I just try to find things that push peoples buttons when I'm angry. I end up getting hurt more," Delilah said with a sigh. "I'm scared too. I"m scared that you and Rosalie won't fit together because she loves you so very much."

"I love her a lot to but I don't know how to show her how much. I don't want you to be scared, I want to protect you from fear. I wish I could protect everyone in our family...Cast and you need a nice vacation alone to. You guys should go to the Ramada Inn or something like that for a romantic weekend of just the two of you. I mean with the money that Cast's rakes in each week you two should be able to afford your own big house and a lot of other things. Maybe it would be less stessful. You should talk to him as soon as you see him about vacation. We also need to get Kaori and Dad on one to. Kaori's just way too stressed and will probably wear herself out and make herself sick and dad, well he already has a heart condition and now high blood pressure and with all the stress. You four need to get outta the house more than anyone else." he walked Delilah to the outside world and looked to her, "what are your future plans?" it was a random questioned that he didn't know why he asked but shrugged it off and just let it be.
