4: your doctor is here to see you

October 12th, 9 weeks before the incident

On Saturday, Jawn, Cosima, Awsten and Madison went to a lost place together.

Jawn picked up everyone with his car and drove the group to a vacant hospital that was located just on the outskirts of Houston.

Slowly but surely, Cosima started to feel at ease in their company.
Talking to Jawn at Uni was becoming a regular occurrence, just like texting Awsten was. She didn't know Madison as well, but she seemed quite entertaining; especially while she bossed Jawn around with the directions to the hospital.

As that went down in the front seat, Cosima sat in the backseat next to Awsten who sang along to the Paramore song that played.

"And baby even on our worst nights", he harmonised, "I'm into you, I'm into you."

Suprisingly, he was a good singer and on top of that, he looked quite adorable while he did it, too — his whole body was moving in time with the beat of the music and his hands gesticulated all around.

Cosima gushed at him and complimented his singing, "Why are you actually really good?"

"Thanks, it's one of my many talents.", Awsten joked and brushed the imaginary dust off of his shoulder.

Jawn parked the car and announced their arrival. Everyone got out and put on gloves and face masks as protection from the amount of dust and other potentially gross things they were about to encounter.

They stood in front of a huge castle-like, white building. Its roof was broken in some places, but other than that it seemed intact.

Jawn strutted ahead of the other three. Carefully he pushed the heavy front door open. An unpleasant screeching sound erupted from it.

Madison was bouncing on her toes excitedly, as she swiftly slipped inside after Jawn.

"After you, madame.", Awsten politely offered and gestured to the door.

"Thanks, sir.", Cosima went along, and entered before him. Though, she did hold open the door for him.

They turned around and their mouths opened in unison.
In front of them extended a large white corridor. The floor was covered in dirt, and the walls were run down, but there was furniture standing around; like an old front desk and a couple of chairs that were toppled on top of one another messily.

To the left, Jawn and Madison went down another corridor which supposedly used to be the emergency ward.

To the right there was a big spiral staircase; again in white.
When Awsten spotted it, he bounced excitedly and guided Cosima towards it by her shoulder.

"Guys, Cosima and I are going upstairs.", he yelled to the others.
Jawn responded with an acknowledging shout.

Upstairs there was another long hallway and the two entered the first room.

It seemed like it used to be a doctor's room.

"Sick.", Awsten mumbled.

As Cosima inspected the ragged daybed, Awsten was searching through the doctor's drawers. Her attention was redirected to him though when he let out an audible gasp and audibly took something out.
