Saturday one week
later
Kevin sat down in front of the TV picking up the remote and automatically
going to MTV which just happen to have the news that happens every hour.
"Gideon
Yago here with more news of the Backstreet Boys. Since it was reported that Kevin Richardson was checked into a Mental Hospital
the fans have been anything but supportive. Most have thought the time was
coming for them to end and with AJ going into rehab, Nick being arrested and now
Kevin in the loony bin the beginning of the end has come."
Kevin shut it off before he could hear anymore.
"Kevin, you got to know that there are fans out that
still love you guys till the death. I even have started to get into your music.
I used to listen to nothing but country music which I could never understand
what my girlfriend saw in Tim McGraw when Faith Hill is so much sexier."
Kallie joked. Kevin just gave her a small smile. “C’mon
and gave him a small kiss on the cheek near the corner of his mouth, or that
was the intention until Kevin turned to look at her and got kissed right smack
on the lips. He kissed back. Then Dr. De walked in.
“Kevin I saw the T.V. how are you?”
“Fine.” He shrugged. “Don’t care
anyhow. My real fans won’t turn their backs on me.”
“Well that’s very good.” De was impressed. She didn’t think
he’d react this good. But Kallie definitely had something to do with it. Those
two were the perfect match. And Dr. De thought they might have the same
condition. “How about something different today, a double private consul
session between you two?”
“Sure”
“Okay.”

“Alright guys who are we doing?”
“I want to go home.”
“I don’t have a home.”
“You don’t?!?” asked Kevin.
“Nope”
“Kevin some Bi Polars go through major shopping sprees.
Kallie maxed out two credit cards and emptied out almost all of her banking
account. To top it off she couldn’t pay her bills and was under care here
shortly after that, so her rent wasn’t paid. We put whatever we could away in
storage for her. But she still has a few major consequences to face.”
“Pretty much. Why so you want to dwell no me so much and my
disorder?”
Dr. De took a deep breath. “Kevin I want to evaluate you for
Bipolar disorder.” Kevin was stunned. Kallie put her hand on his arm to comfort
him.
“Umm…. Well… alright… you can test me.”
“Alright. Kallie we’ll continue
this another time. … Kevin, you ready?”
“Yes.”
“Ever thought of killing yourself?”
“Duh.”
“Alright, sorry had to ask. Do you ever feel very depressed
for periods of time?”
“Yes.”
“Then very happy?”
“Yes, well sometimes both.”
“Like you can take on the world but you want to die at the
same time?”
“Exactly.”
“Okay. Any family history of mental
illness?”
“No.”
“How long have you felt you’re up and down moods?”
“My whole life… well probably around age
five.”
“Any voices no one can hear but you?”
“No.”
“Alright, last question. Do you ever use bad judgment for no
reason? Maybe while happy or depressed?”
“Yes.
“Kevin do you want my diagnosis?
“Yes.” He was tense and nervous. But he needed to know. He
needed to know NOW!
