"Let me go!" Tiana yelled as she desperately tired to run away from Carl.
"Not until you take your meds." Carl said sternly with his arms wrapped around her.
"I don't need them!"
"Yes you do, please just take them."
"No!" Tiana screamed still trying to get away.
"Come on Tiana, if you don't take them I'm calling the doctor."
"Whatever" Tiana said as she crossed her arms and sat down at the table.
"Here" Carl said handing her the pill and a glass of water. Tiana stared at it weirdly for a few second before she took it.
"Can we watch a movie now?" She asked suddenly happy. Carl was having a hard time keeping up with her mood swings.
"Yeah sure" He smiled as they went upstairs to his room.

"Hey Carl, dinners rea-"
"Tiana's sleeping" Carl interrupted Fiona as he looked down at the beautiful girl sleeping on his chest.
"Oh shit, sorry. How did it go at the doctors yesterday?"
"She has severe depression, the doctor gave her meds but she kept refusing to take them. I finally convinced her a couple hours ago and she's been knocked out ever since." Carl whispered.
"That's probably the same medicine Ian took when he first got diagnosed, it makes you really tired." Fiona said. "So you gonna come down for dinner?"
"Nah just leave me and Tiana's food on the table for later."
"Ok" Fiona gave Carl a slight smile before closing the door.
_______________________________A couple hours later Tiana was still asleep on Carl's chest and he was watching a movie with very low volume. Every once in a while she would began to stir and Carl would rub her back until she fell back asleep. Eventually he fell asleep too.
The next morning Carl slowly shook Tiana awake.
"Good morning love" He said as he kissed her forehead.
"Good morning" she replied in a cranky tone as she pulled the blanket over her head.
"You have to get up baby, you need to eat and take your meds."
"What are you my nurse now?" She scoffed. Carl could tell she was in a bad mood so he decided to let her sleep for little while longer. He hopped of the bed, threw on a shirt and some shorts and headed down stairs.
"Morning." Debbie said as he came down the steps.
"Where's Tiana?" Ian asked as he poured coffee into a cup.
"She still sleeping, the meds are making her really tired."
"Sound like the meds I use to take. Make sure to be patient with her because those meds can make you feel terrible." Ian said taking a seat at the table. Carl nodded as he grabbed Tiana's meds and ran upstairs.
"Tiana" he whispered softly while rubbing her arm.
"Yeah." she mumbled half asleep.
"Sit up so you can take your meds."
"But I already took them yesterday."
"You have to take them everyday baby." Carl said handing her the pill and some water. She gave him a sad smile as she took the medicine. She felt bad that Carl was so worried about her and that she was being cold to him. She didn't mean to but she felt so weird when she took the meds like she wasn't herself anymore.
"Come on let's go eat." Carl said grabbing her hand as they walked down the stairs.
