When a lady in black came to get us we locked up our room and followed her down to a little room on the first floor where Dr Norton sat in his fluffy grey jumper he offered us both a seat on the sofa as he locked the door
"Now sorry but its time for all the boring paperwork," he says "Let's start with the easy stuff, Full names please?" he smiled
"Dan and Lisa Johnson" Dan answered
"Not even a minute in and we are already lieing to each other," he said
"what?" Dan asked
"I read yesterday your first name is Daniel..." He smirked, "Why Don't you by it?"
"it's a long story" Dan answered "Look I don't want to go into that now we're here for Lisa"
"Yes, sir we are but in order for me to understand I need to analyze the both of you" He answered "Lisa? What was your maiden name?"
"Miller" I answered
"Lovely, How long have the two have you been married?"
"Eight years now isn't it hun?" Dan smiled at me and I nodded
"very nice, How old are you, Mrs Johnson?"
"She's twenty-six" Dan answered a bit nervously and I avoided the Doctors Eyes
"I assume you also?" he began and dan nodded "Eight years you said?" and dan nodded again "Married at eighteen..." He said making notes "any children?" he asked I felt tears flooding my eyes at the mention of that word
"No..." Dan answered
"Okay, How is your sex life?" He asked us
"I don't see how thats relevant?" Dan snapped I could see he was tapping his hand already
"It's all relevant Mr Johnson" he smiled "How's your sex life?"
"It isn't" Dan answered, "We haven't had sex in a year, Not since..."
"Since?"
"Since We Lost our twins" I Answered
"Alright... Now you said in your forms you've been in and out of therapy for the last three years that correct?" He asked and I nodded "Any reason?"
"They think I have a second Personality, always said I did ever since I was a baby, I have extreme social anxiety and Often attempt suicide. there is more but I think thats the main ones" I explain and I could hear dan's tapping getting worse tapping his fingers, tapping his feet just the little noises he does when he's nervous
"when was your last Suicide attempt?" He asked making notes
"last night" Dan chimed in
"Last- Last night?"
"she walked out onto the balcony while I was asleep and tried to jump off" Dan sighed his tapping getting worse
"What is that?" The doctor asked,
"what's what?" Dan asked
"the tapping?"
"He does it when he's nervous" I answered
"I'm not nervous!" Dan yelled "... I'm quittin' smokin' is all"
"For the purposes of this treatment" He sighed getting something from his pocket "I rather insist," he says handing dan a pack of cigarettes dan wasted no time getting one and lighting it up, "I think the two of you are perfect for our new treatment course, meet me back here tomorrow morning and I Guarantee by the time you go home Saturday all your problems will be gone"
