Simon, dinners ready!
Coming!
So, is the medication working?
I think so, I haven’t heard or seen any hallucinations which is good.
That’s so good honey.
But taking a pill everyday feels so weird now.
Oh, hey Simon, those pills working?
I think so
Simon we are having dinner as a family tonight
(sighs) okay
How was your day Simon?
It was alright I mean kids are still making fun of me about what happened last week but other than that it’s fine.
They should forget about it soon it never lasts more than a month.
I guess
Thank you (pause)
I’m full… Can I go to my room now?
Are you sure you haven’t even touched your peas
Yes mum, I’m full
Okay yes you can go now
Thank you
Okay (mum walks over and knocks on door)
Yeah?
You doing okay?
Yeah
Okay.. and you’re sure these meds are working; we can always try another
No, it’s okay, this works
It’s just you don’t seem any different from the other medication-
Mum, I’m fine
I know but when we went in April, she said we have many choices
Mum it’s fine
But that’s what you said two weeks ago after using the same medication for three months you finally admitted that it wasn’t working
I thought it was, but this one actually works
Do you promise?
I promise mum
Phone rings
Hello?
Yo you good dude? You haven’t been responding to my texts
Yeah, I’m just busy
So when can we hang out again? I’ve missed hanging out with you
I don’t know
I’m your best friend I can tell something’s wrong
I’m fine
You’re not hanging out; in school you don’t talk to me. It’s like I’m not even there
I’m fine I just have a lot on my mind
Your meds? Are they working?
Yeah
