  Simultaneously reading his hit novel and watching his watch, the young author wondered and worried about things that he should've never worried about. He worried drastically about breaking his leg while getting out of bed. He worried desperately about losing his arms and not being able to write again. He was the only one in the group who never really got over the things that he saw in the past.
  Elixander Jones, EJ for short as he grew embarrassed of the name that his parents gave him, sat on the edge of his bed. His mind grew overcrowded from all the incidents that could happen to him at any second. He didn't have the guys to meet his family because he thought that he would get in a wreck while on his way to meet them. It seemed like a case of Traumatophobia, but EJ hasn't even self-diagnosed himself.
  He placed the book behind him; soon after, his fingers tapped the caps of both his knees while he sat on the edge of the bed. His mind grew hastily, having an itch to pick up his laptop. Picking up the electronic on the bed and placing it on his shaky lap, Elixander remained still and didn't exactly open it. He basically just stood there watching as if it was already opened.
  Maybe some time in town would get his mind right...or maybe not. Did all his anxiety come before or after he visited? If he grew anxiety every visit to Jamson, then why return?
  Another reason why he probably returned was because of family. Family seemed very important to him. Half of everything that he ever made from royalties, he gave it to his family. They were the ones who was always there for him. He wasn't going to abandon them, even though he was going to suffer... He sacrificed his mental health for his family...who else would do something like that?
