Smiling Faces – (Chapter: Chapter Eleven)
“Now it’s your job not to get yourself too worked up, okay Ashley?” Dr. Rivers said with a smile. “I can only give you medication for the pain, but you have to precipitate it. I’m getting a hunch that this may have nothing to do with the lupus at all.”
Christine perked up at this, from her seat beside Ashley’s bed. “What? What do you mean? So its not chronic pain?”
“Yes, it is chronic pain, but I’m beginning to think that it has an emotional trigger rather than it being simply a recurring symptom of her condition.”
“So we can stop it?” Christine pushed.
“No,” Dr.. Rivers said harshly and Christine shrunk some. “But Ashley can,” Dr. Rivers added and Ashley looked at him for the first time. She had been staring out of the window since he entered, completely aloof to what they were saying. It was always the same.
“I can stop the pain?” she began with hopeful brown eyes. “I can stop fainting?”
“Yes. If you learn to control your emotional state. No stress and no strain. Can you do that Ashley?”
“Yes she can,” Christine interjected and Ashley didn’t care. Her mind was already racing. Now she could leave the house without her very own emergency room packed away into her backpack. Now she could go through a run of the play without the director having an emergency team on standby.. Now she could-
“Ashley let’s go,” Christine said forcefully, and Ashley snapped back into reality. Her mother was standing in the doorway, beckoning her. Dr. Rivers was long gone. Ashley slipped a leg over the side of the bed and slid down to the floor, her socked feet still cringing from the cold tile. She followed her mother out of the room.
“Mom what time is it?” she asked, and Christine began fishing around in her bag for her phone. She flipped it open and sighed.
“My God it’s 3:30 in the afternoon. I have to get to the theatre.” Christine shoved the phone back into her purse and launched into a sprint toward the door. Ashley kept the same pace, watching as her mother disappeared down the hallway.
