story idea - Peter and Louise

LOUISE
Peter's doctor said that he was suffering from deppression and insomnia. And,in the way that Peter put it, was supposed to take a series of medications including unwanted side affects such as depression and insomnia.
Peter's counselor said taht he has some abandonement issuses and needed to talk about his emotions more. this was true, Peter was very introverted and was abandoned as a very young child.
Peter's acupuncturist said that he had a deficiency of Qi in his lungs, which explained his sadness, asthma attacks,paleness and overall grumpiness.
His naturopath said that he needed a companion and musn't worry about everything. His prescription was a capsule of pills and a dog.
Peter had many other doctors, who had many other diagnoses for him. But they all agreed on one thing-me.
I'm not exactly sure what they expected me to accomplish, but I was sent to be peter's caretaker whenever I could make the trek across town to his house. He refused to be put in a home with other people of his kind. Whatever kind that might be. Mentally ill? not really. OCD? well sort of,he was obsessive,but in his own way. My diagnoses for Peter?
simple! Peter!
He was just odd. from the start he was never given a chance. Everyone just expected him to fail. Someone raised that way couldn't turn out norman no matter how many medications they took.
But I was one person who was determined to give him a chance. And because of that, I got a chance too.
