Finding Her Place

Chapter 6 Julian

The strange girl was asleep again. She had been like that for about an hour. He was curious as to what her name might be. Sally, maybe. No, that did not sound right. Julian thought how could a name sound right or wrong on a girl he had met less then a week ago. Within that week only about 2 hours of it she was awake for.

Julian heard the rustling of cloth. He turned to see that it was only the girl turning in her sleep. Julian was bored; he did not know what to do. He had been told to watch her, though he did not know what good would come of it. She moved again. He decided to check her over; he was a medic(in training at least and one of the most advanced ones there).

Julian got started and sedated her.

Knock, Knock. He heard a noise at the door.

"Come In," Julian said. Zoi (Zoe) walked in the door.

"Who is that?" she asked.

"That is confidential." Julian responded

"You don't know her name do you?" Zoi retorted.

"I told you..."

"That's confidential blah, blah, blah. I know, I know," she said, mocking him. "So you DON'T know what her name is."

"Well, she hasn't told us yet," Julian stated as fast as he could so as to give Zoi as little time as possible to interrupt." Besides, she doesn't quite trust me."

"W-W-wait you talked to her!" Zoi said with surprise.

"Yeah I talked to her, she accused me of giving her a hallucinogenic," Julian responded.

"Wow it sounds exactly like something you would do," Zoi retorted.

"Well at that point I hadn't even given her a sedative yet," Julian had barely even finished speaking when Zoi said.

"You gave her a sedative!"

"Well she needed the sleep." Julian tried to argue but failed miserably.

"I do believe that you are referring to the girl that has been asleep for almost 2 weeks straight." she yelled at Julian.

"She almost collapsed after standing up," Julian retorted.

"Yeah, because she had not stood up for almost two weeks," Zoi paused for a moment. "And you call yourself a doctor."

"So I'm guessing you want me to tell you everything?" Julian said knowing the answer.

"Of course!" Zoi exclaimed. So, Julian told her everything. Well, almost everything.Julian breathed a sigh of relief. He had only just finished telling Zoi what had happened with the strange girl. It took forever because she kept interrupting him. He glanced at the clock; 5:52 a.m. It had already been an hour since he had given her the sedative. It would last for at least 24 hours so he had 23 hours left till she might wake up.

"Do you want to take a break?" Zoi offered, interrupting his stream of thought.

"Um... I don't think I can?" Julian said quesing himself.

"Come on, you never do anything fun! And you're not even sure yourself" Zoi pressured.

"Maybe? I really don't know if I can." he stated, still uneasy about it.

"Do you want to get lunch at the dining hall?" Zoi insisted.

"Um..."

"What if Selena and Lexi watch the girl and they'll tell us if she wakes up or something. Come on, it'll be fun."
