Chapter 9

Alex's POV

*Beep beep*

I stretched my hands to switch the alarm and my head started aching as I got up, " ahh that was one hard hit" I said while rubbing my forehead.

' another long day of doing nothing ' I sighed thinking this. Still tired and in pain, I got up to freshen myself. After almost half an hour, I went out to see Regan cooking, "Now that's unusual, Good morning anyway Regan."

He looked up and smiled to me," Good morning Alex.

"Alright Regan what are you making? You know you didn't have to though.", I said approaching him finally.

"I am preparing veggies for takoy-", he looked up and stopped speaking.

"What happened?", I asked him confused.

"Your forehead", he said while stared at him weirded out," your forehead is red and swollen" his voice dropped certain octaves when he said, " who did this to you?"

"Regan it's nothing, I just fell and hit my head, nobody did this, I didn't go out neither anyone came home remember", I tried to reason with him, 'so finally some symptoms' I sighed thinking that, but for some reason Regan started smiling.

"Home!" He exclaimed, " like a home to me too" he said overjoyed.

"Yes it is, feel free and don't worry too much", I told him concerned now.

"Okay, you go sit there I am going to complete the breakfast and bring it", he seemed to be excessively happy.

"Okay, I will just go and do some other work", I said and left my room.

' So it is there, Delusion of Persecution, though the symptoms are as mild as of a normal person being concerned of their family member but who knows years of torture and hostility turned it inactive, I will have to give him certain medications' I thought to myself when my phone rang.

It was Dr. Lee, I picked the call, "Good morning Sir."

"Good morning Doctor Mathew, I wanted to inform you about a program at a school held for a Psychology workshop session, and you have to do that workshop today", he said.

"I am okay with it but should I leave Regan here." I asked worried about Regan.

"It's okay, it can be a check for his normal behaviour, take him with you", he said.

"Okay I will do that let's hope everything is good", I replied and we hung up the call.

After a few minutes, I hear Regan shouting for me, I went back to the dinning area.

"Here breakfast is ready, eat up", he spoke smiling very much.

"Alright come sit as well, and I would love to know what's is the reason behind that beautiful smile." I asked smiling myself.

He sat down, served the food and said, " you said this is my house too, after the incident nobody took me in, my brothers I told you about, were not there to help me, after so long somebody has accepted me, it made me feel wanted and better", I was stunned at his thesis.

"Regan, I am here for you even after you get better and leave, never forget you have a friend to help you", I said holding his hand ," anyways I have a news for you, we are going to a school today, excited?"

"Huh! But I don't wanna study anymore" he replied which made me laugh, "what?!!!" He seemed mad at this.

"I am sorry, we are going there to teach students" I explained the situation to him and he calmed down.

"But I don't know anything about psychology" he mumbled while pouting.

"Aw you are so cute," I pinched his cheeks, " you will just be there and get everyone to pay attention okay?"

"Yah! I am not cute, I am hot and handsome" he replied fake flipping his hairs.

"Okay Mr. Handsome, get everyone to pay attention with your handsomeness okay?" I said while laughing at him.

"But I want only your attention" he mumbled something even below whisper, which could not hear.

"Did you say something?" He shook his head and we continued our breakfast while talking along.

After breakfast we changed into casuals and leave the house after I instructed Boomer.

"So ready for the day?" I asked Regan with my hands on the steering.

"I am nervous" he said fidgeting his long fingers.

"Don't worry you will do fine, moreover you have me with you" I said and finally started the car to drive to the school but all along the way I felt someone's stare at me and of course there was only Regan but I decided to ignore it and played music while chatting with him.

Finally we reached the school and mentally prepared myself for the day.

'Let's see what the day brings, may it be peaceful' I prayed and we entered the school.
