Thomas sucked in a shaky breath as he stood in front of the doctors office. His mother sat in the room where he once was - The waiting room. He was currently 17. He was a few months away from finishing high school, and so close to moving out. A nurse pushed him toward the door slightly, after it was opened by the doctor. He stepped him, and sat down on a chair the doctor motioned to him. "Mr.Sanders? I'm Dr. Sandy. It's nice to meet you" The male in front of him said, holding a clipboard close to his chest, reaching a hand out for Thomas to shake. Thomas took the hand into his own, moving it up and down before releasing it. Thomas let out a shaky breath he did not notice was being held in. He looked up at the doctor, who stared down at the clipboard reading it. "So, Thomas, it says here you are here today because you seem to have heightened anxiety?" Thomas sat tense, looking up and nodding fast, letting out a small "mhmm". "hm" Doctor Sandy replied, soon nodding slightly "If it helps you feel more comfortable, you can call me Ethan." D- Ethan said. Thomas was still tense, but no longer looked like he was about to cry. "O-okay." Thomas stuttered out. By now, Ethan figured out what to do. He scribbled down on a piece of paper, and got up, and grabbed something else and wrote on that. "I'm sending you off with a prescription, Thomas" "W-what is it?" "Something to help with your anxiety, here, take these." "a-are you sure these will work???" "Positive, now off you go."              Thomas left the office, and walked into the waiting room where his mom awaited him. He handed her the papers Ethan gave to him. "H-he said it'd help, mom" Thomas shot out, regretting ever accepting to go to the doctor. His mother nodded slightly, "let's go, Thomas." She smiled slightly at her son, who soon followed her out to the car.

    He sat in the kitchen, reading the bottle of pills his mother picked up. It was his prescription. The bottle read "take two a day.", which Thomas was sure he'd be able to do. He opened it, and opened the safety seal. Putting one into the palm of his hand, he stared at it. He placed the light purple pill onto the counter as he grabbed a cup and filled it with cold water. He took the pill and swallowed it.
