Days passed by and soon the big day came when Meg was to be free of crutches. Catherine, Joey and Felix were present at the hospital and waiting for Meg to come out of the room. The door opened and Catherine’s eyes welled up with tears as she saw her younger sister standing without the crutches. She ran and hugged her “Oh my little sister. I cannot tell you how happy I am for you. This is a new beginning for you.” “Your sister is strong, isn’t she?” Meg smiled as Catherine nodded. Felix and Joe

When Meg met Joey in the morning, she could sense that something had happened last night after she left as Joey was not talking in complete sentences. “Hey, out with it!” she asked Joey to tell her what had happened. “What! I told you nothing happened,” the boy shushed her. “Okay, well, then why you seem to be in a different zone altogether?” Meg asked him. “Wait a second, did you kiss him? Or maybe he kissed you?” she could not hide her curiosity. “No, it was just a hug. Don’t you think you ar

The dynamics between Joey and Felix were changing and changing real fast. On one hand, Felix was treating the boy just like he used to treat other teens and on the other, Joey's mind was taking a constant beating from his heart as he felt strongly for the doctor. He would always come with one or the other reason to meet doctor frequently and whenever he saw Felix interacting with other boys, he made sure that he was part of the conversation. His behavior might not have been noticed by the doctor

It was a nice drive back to the center as Joey and Felix shared some of the funny moments of their pasts. Joey knew that his feeling towards Felix was more than just an attraction. The doctor stopped the car at the center’s gate. The boy was still lost in thoughts when he heard the words “Hey buddy! We have reached the center.” “Oh I was lost in some thoughts,” Joey was quick in replying. “I have noticed something,” Felix turned towards the boy and this made Joey feel extremely nervous. He won

Joey felt a lot better after his interaction with Meg. He got dressed up in his sports outfit. Though the yearlong melancholic period had drained him emotionally, but he still had a good physique. He was one of the star soccer players of his school and a number of girls swooned over his athletic build and handsome facial features. He proceeded downstairs and walked over to the field. Over the course of past four months, he had started interacting with some of the guys but none could fit in the

As he entered his room, he got a call from Meg. At first he decided not to pick it up but he didn't want to be rude to his close friend. He picked up the call. "Hey Joey, how was the outing?," the girl was excited to know about the evening. "It was fine." Joey gave a plain reply to which Meg asked surprisingly "just fine? I was expecting a better answer. Don't tell me you had an argument with him again." "No, everything is fine. It's just that I am tired. If you don't mind, can we talk tomo

Joey woke up early in the morning and checked for the time in his cellphone. He had received a couple of messages. As he opened his message box, he was surprised to find that one of the messages were sent by the doctor. Other message was sent by Meg. He felt elated and his fingers trembled as he opened the doctor's message first. It read "hey Joey, I know you must be asleep. I am sorry for whatever I said yesterday. Let us meet and sort things out when I come to the center. Good night ". Joey wa

Later that night, Joey met Meg and they went to the dining hall together. He saw beautiful chandeliers adorning the spacious hall and a variety of food items placed on the tables. For him, it was a big change as he was sitting with a number of people after a long time. He felt as if the school days were back. "Are you comfortable Joey? Meg asked him. "Yeah, I am ok. It just feels a little awkward. We used to have parties in high school and this kind of atmosphere is not too different from it

Later that day, Felix passed by Joey's room. His steps advanced to the room but then he stopped himself. He knew that other doctors might not be able to take care of the boy as well as he could. He dialed Adam's number. "Hey buddy, how are you?” the doctor asked. "I am ok", Adam replied in a flat tone. "Is everything alright man?", Felix asked his friend who had never sounded so cold. "Funny, I should be asking this question to you. How could you shout at Joey when you know that he is going

The next day, Joey woke up early, a habit he had since his high school days. He opened the windows and took a deep breath. Though, he missed the serene beauty of his hometown, but the garden adorned with a variety of flowers made him feel good. All the rooms had attached bathrooms. He took shower and got dressed up. He was still curious to know why Felix had not told the truth to his brother. Joey went downstairs and asked one of the staff members if the doctor had arrived. Upon learning that

The Merryls left for Bree, with Adam and Clara waving at Joey. The boy was teary eyed but held back his tears lest someone saw him. Before Felix could talk to him, he ran to his room and shut the doors. The doctor came after him and knocked at the door. "Are you alright Joey?" he asked the boy, but didn't get any response. After waiting for a while, he knocked on the door again. "I am alright. Please, leave me alone", Joey hollered as Felix understood that it was not the right time to talk t

Back to the present day, Griffith said “my decision was correct at that time. It’s been a year and despite our best efforts, we haven’t been able to set things right for Joey. He has learnt to smile again but his social life is still non-existent. We must seek medical help for him. Perhaps, sending him to a rehab center would help.” “It would be tough for him, since there will be no one familiar to him there. We have to be very sure that we are taking the right step”, Clara voiced her concern.

Having spent a week at the hospital, Joey was brought back home. A lot of things had changed in the past week. Even the bright sunlight could not give positive energy to the young teen who had enclosed himself in a shell. He hadn't said a single word since the reality dawned upon him. He just went to his room and locked the door. Clara got worried. "Let him be alone for today. It is not easy for him. We have to give him some time", Griffith asked his wife to be patient. "I would go for the fu

Joey was not like this in his early teens. He used to be a jolly guy for whom laughter was the most important part of his daily routine. He loved to make people laugh and enjoy his life to the best. Max, Susan and Fedrick were his closest friends with whom he shared his every secret. The bunch of four was known to be a mischievous one and they pranked people on a regular basis. He used to go for campings and outings on his birthday. Company of some great friends and a loving family, he couldn’t

Weather was getting worse in the small town of Bree. Rustling of leaves and creaking sounds made it evident that a storm was brewing. People rushed to the safety of their homes and shops got closed before the normal time. Soon, streets were lashed with heavy downpour and thunderstorms struck several places. Far to the southern side of the town, the Merryls were celebrating the 19th birthday of their younger son, Joey. “Even the rain Gods want to click a picture of yours brother”, rema

People say love finds you when you least expect it. Love is one of the most beautiful feelings which one experiences in one’s lifetime. It is neither a source, nor a destination; it is a journey. A journey of self-discovery, emotional highs and lows, moments of joy and journey marked by unconditional love. Love can have never ending explanations. This story is about a boy in his late teens who has seen a lot at a young age.Will the cupid arrive in his life or the void will further deepen?
