Kickdrum Beating in My Chest Again (Alternate Version)

Chapter 79

!!!!!!!!!Author's Note!!!!!!!!!

Hello everyone! Happy Friday! I hope you all had a good week! Mine was fine. I spent more time adding places that do live music to my contact list and calling and emailing them. This will also be useful for my band too when we are ready to start gigging. Not much else happened except that I've been on prednisone for 3 months for my underboob issue and now I'm staring to have A LOT of problems with the side effects. It's not something that is supposed to be used long term. I saw my dermatologist again today and informed him of my issues. I said I wanted off of this ASAP, so he gave me a cortisone/steroid shot because I don't seem to have issues with those, which will last 3 weeks and started having me step down off prednisone and in the meantime, I'll be taking the injectable medication which will continue to build in my system. The goal is to only be on that medication eventually and for it to take care of the problem. Everything is healed though, it's just really scarred.

This week, Brad takes Joe and Dan back to their cells and wastes time by having a snack to give Gabe more time to work on Patrick. Then he escorts Gabe back to his cell. Joe wakes up very sore the next day and is called to shower time by Clark. He tells Clark what happened and that Patrick would be released today and they discuss it. Patrick wakes up to nurses drawing blood for his last round of blood tests, sees Brad sitting in the corner and starts having worrying about what awaits him when he's released, causing his mind to spiral to having flashbacks of the things that Gabe and Brad had done to him. He ends up having a huge panic attack that leads into an asthma attack. Spencer stops the asthma attack and Patrick calms down enough for the panic attack to stop. Spencer has him do another nebulizer treatment and then Patrick begs him to think of a way to keep him in sick bay longer and not send him back to Gabe. Spencer says he's done all he can do. Patrick asks him to think outside the box and he refuses. Patrick's done with Spencer after that, turns his back on him and tells him he doesn't want to see him until he's discharged. Clara comes to go over his wound care with him.

As always, enjoy, tell your friends and if you like it, please vote on my story or leave me a comment! You can find me on tumblr @dancecoaster if you'd like to talk to me directly. Happy reading!

Chapter 79

********Trigger Warning for Graphic Violence********

Brad has taken both Trohman and Pawlovich to their cells for the evening. Both of them collapsed onto their beds immediately and went to sleep. Brad knows he needs to give Gabe some more time to heal Stump, so he decides that he is going to have that snack that Gabe and Brad had talked about, which should waste a good amount of time. He sticks his nose up in the air and takes a whiff to see what is available. He is met with several different smells to choose from, it's just a matter of what sounds the tastiest to him. The first smell was bacon, which was hard to resist. The second smell was peaches, and the third smell was tacos. Brad thinks for a minute before choosing his snack. While he usually went for someone sweet like peaches, he wasn't in the mood for that right now. Now he has to decide if he wants bacon or tacos. Tacos do sound good, but he just can't resist bacon, so he follows the smell of bacon. It leads him to the guard sitting outside of cell block P. That makes things much easier for him. He immediately goes up to the guard and asks for directions to the meeting rooms, acting like he is a new guard who hasn't gotten the lay of the land yet.

"Excuse me, I'm kind of lost and I'm hoping you can help me. I'm pretty new here and haven't figured out where everything is just yet. Could you tell me how to get to meeting rooms? My inmate has a meeting with his lawyer in one of these rooms, but I have no idea where they are, so I tried to find them myself so that I knew where I was taking him tomorrow, but I got myself turned around and I have no idea where I am or how to get to where I'm going. Could you help me?" Brad asks.
