Justin’s Point of View

I think I was the only one who knew Anna needed help. There was no one in the house that night when she thought she had seen Michael. Michael had been dead for three years; he was killed in the war in Iraq and Anna knew that. So, why she said Michael was there was beyond me. I pointed to each street and led her to my new apartment. She smiled as she put the car in park and got out by herself. That’s something that hasn’t changed, I thought to myself. She’s still really independent.

“So this is it huh?” Anna said.

“Yup,” I replied, “it’s really nice, isn’t it?”

Anna nodded and walked to the door and looked back to me, her eyes saying ‘C’mon already.’ I walked up to the porch and dug my keys out of my pocket. I slowly unlocked the door and pushed it open, letting her go in first. Her eyes widened and she walked into the center of the kitchen. She spun herself around, laughing and her auburn hair swirling along with her. She stopped and smiled at me.

 “I never been able to turn around in a kitchen without touching any counters,” she said, laughing excitedly.

I simply nodded and continued to show her through the rest of the house.

“It’s beautiful,” she exclaimed as she sat down on the white leather couch.

“Anna, we need to talk,” I demanded in a serious tone.

“Okay,” Anna whispered back meekly.

“I don’t want you to freak out. Just listen first okay?” I asked.

Anna nodded and I continued, “Anna, you were hallucinating again today; like you used to. Michael’s been dead for three years now. He wasn’t there and you two had made amends before he left for Iraq. Remember?”

Anna nodded. “I’m sorry Justin. I hate having to put you through this.”

“Have you been taking your medication?” I asked apprehensively. As I predicted, she exploded with anger.

“I’m not a little girl anymore!” she screamed. “My mom and Angie asked you to do this didn’t they? Sleep with me and get information?! Leave me alone!” And with that she stormed out of the living room and out of the apartment.

Great, I thought. Now what?
