"Are you listening to me Mr. L/N? Mr. L/N?"

I rubbed my temple and smiled at her

"Of course."

I don't think she believed me and I wouldn't have either. "How are you feeling now? Seems like you are more responsive since we brought you here." "Yeah, I'm just having a slight headache that's all" She sighed and jotted something on her pad. She smiled and said with a voice one would use with a child "The headache will go away soon enough. I am just going to ask you some questions now, they should be easy, okay?" I nodded, well like a child would've.

It was hard for me to answer at first, but it got easier as she went through the questions. My name, the full date, where I was, what I remember as of recent, and the like. She seemed more confident about my state and stopped babying me as much when I finished. She started flipping through the file that was on her table.

"Now then, let's get down to it..."

"..when we found you, you were having serious sleep paralysis. From your file, it seems that it's a regular thing, so much so that you already had medicines prescribed to you for it and 2 more to strengthen the first, yet you didn't take any of them yesterday. I don't have to tell you how serious this can be, so what happened?"

"Jet lag?"

"This is not a joke Mr. L/N. From now on they will be handed to us, and we will make sure to give them to you regularly alright?" "Alright, I understand" It hadn't been 20 minutes since we started talking, yet she seemed like she had more left to say I do. This is going to be more draining than I thought.

I nearly fell on my face while making my way out of class when that goddamned bell finally rang. Nate and Julian were waiting for me outside. You could see that both were a little skittish if you looked closely enough. We didn't bother with the intros and just started heading towards the clinic. It was a pregnant minute of silence till Nate said something.

"Do you think he's doing alright guys?"

Julian put his hands around his shoulder "Of course dude. He's in the care of seasoned doctors and it's probably not that serious. Cheer up!" But Nate being, how he is, continued "But you remember how he was in the morning right? He wasn't moving at all. It seemed serious." "The nurses told me that he forgot to take these meds he had been prescribed that's all, so no need to worry about that. They probably took them under their control anyway by now." My assurance sealed the conversation.

My head started to hurt at the thought of the impending, well-dressed insults I was going to be getting from the nurses. At the end of it all, I got away with what felt like an hour but was just 15 minutes of 'I at least expected you to be the one to remember from the other 2." followed by a disappointed look and all that.

Everyone was waiting ,all nice and comfy when I got out. That girl was hovering around Y/N while her merry gang of 'new kids' was standing about awkwardly.

Great.

"Let's go now. Thanks guys for keeping them company. Much appreciated." The others went off gladly, but I had to bear her till we reached the dorm. "Bye guys. Take care Y/N." "She is too off for my comfort," I thought to myself. "I need to look her up later."

I took the watch for the night and just after midnight, while I was amidst sorting through important files, I received a call from the last person I wanted to that night.

"Hello father, I didn't expect you to call today, isn't it quite early for you right now in Sweden?"

"Isn't it quite late for you also? I assume you are looking over the last files I sent you?" right down to business as usual.

"Yes, I am. We'll get through them by the end of the week. The data is a little dense so it might take time. Apologies" He merely hummed as he would do when disappointed.

"Well, I'll expect it by then. Your brother is already finished with his, so feel free to ask him for help if you need any. I am sure he is willing to give you a helping hand as always. I'll call on Friday." and he hung the call just like that.

After all that, I collected myself and made another batch of coffee. When I went back to my desk, Julian was already there giving me his ol' "Talk about it, you son of a bitch" look "Everything went well with the call?' "Peachy. He's just as condescending as ever." He gave me the same stare for a minute or two after I sat back down, then sighed "Well seems like you are going to be at it for the night. Don't overwork yourself alright Josh?"

When he went back to sleep, I proceeded to overwork myself for the night.
