The End.

After: Miles

Miles sorted through the papers on the desk in front of him, trying to make sense of what he was looking at. He tried to read the chicken scratch that scrawled across the page, but his eyes could hardly make out half of the words. It was sad that he couldn’t even read his own writing half of the time, and he wondered why Aniyah bothered to let him help out. He had always heard the joke that doctors all had terrible handwriting, but surely hers couldn’t be any worse than his own illegible scribbles?

He glanced up at the nearby door, wondering how much longer Aniyah’s session was going to run. He felt bad for wanting her to rush through a meeting with a patient just so she could get to him, but he really needed to talk to her. He had been seeing her every chance he could since he’d woken up and come to terms with who he was and what he’d done. His hands clenched into fists, crumpling the papers in his hands as his thoughts went to Reese and the pain he’d caused.

He was no longer Hannah, a lost girl who had never felt completely right in her own body. Now he was Miles, a lost boy who still didn’t feel completely right in his own body. But now he knew it most likely had little to do with his identity, and everything to do with the fact that he’d been dead and come back. He was different in more ways than just one, and it seemed nobody here could ever let him forget it. He saw their looks, saw women pull their children away from him, and he heard their whispers and sometimes even their laughter.

Nobody understands me, he thought, trying to flatten out the crumpled papers. He frowned as the words on the page suddenly became more readable. “Of course,” he muttered. “All I needed to do to understand my own writing was mangle the paper.” He rolled his eyes and slid the papers back into the proper folder, getting up from his chair and opening the gray filing cabinet in the corner. He thumbed through the other folders until he found its proper place, and he closed the drawer with a click.

He sighed, sitting back down in the chair and putting his head in his hands. He really needed to talk to someone, and unfortunately Aniyah seemed to be the only person who understood, let alone who actually cared. Everyone else thought he was a freak twice over and didn’t want anything to do with him. He had no friends in Chicago, and truthfully, his only friend had died back on that farm and been buried beneath a tree, remembered only by the few people that had been there that day.

His heart twisted painfully at the thought of Daisy and how she had made an effort to be inclusive, going so far as to even ask what pronouns he preferred. There hadn’t even been a second of hesitation, just acceptance.
