Kickdrum Beating in My Chest Again (Alternate Version)

Chapter 80

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

Hello Everyone! Happy Friday (only 48 mins late)! I hop you all had a good week. Mine was busy. I had an opera gig tonight so I had to prepare for that. I have another one tomorrow. This is the only time I really get to sing opera, which is what I'm trained in, unless I sing at a senior living place. All the opera opportunities are just too far away. I am also the primary caregiver for our high-functioning autistic son, so I can't be gone for long periods of time, unless that was somehow negotiated into my contract. I'd need an agent for that and so far, I haven't found anyone that wants to represent me. I have two more opera gigs the following weekend but it is up in Murphys, CA so we are taking the trailer and using that as a mini vacation, which I desperately need. My medical issue has cleared up now, so that is good. It only took three months. That medical issue caused me a great amount of stress and anxiety. I'm happy it's over with for now. Oh! Thank you to the guest who gave me kudos last week! I really appreciate it!

Anyways, this week, Patrick is released from sick bay but he's still in really bad shape, he tells Joe about everything that happened, and Joe catches him up on what he missed. Brad gets Gabe and takes him to a meeting room so they can talk. He gives him an update about Patrick and then Gabe forbids him from feeding on Patrick until he says it's ok, which Brad is not happy about. Gabe also gives Brad permission to help him. Brad takes Joe and Patrick to the mess hall where Patrick is approached by another inmate, they get their food and meet up with Dan and catch him up on everything. Gabe comes to check on Patrick and afterward Patrick is convinced he's getting raped today.  As always, enjoy, tell your friends and if you like please vote on my story or leave me a comment. If you want to talk to me directly, you can find me on tumblr @dancecoaster. Happy reading!

Chapter 80

********Trigger Warning for Mentions of Drug Use, Graphic Violence, and Rape********

Once Clara's out of the room, Brad shoots a strange, very creepy look towards Patrick that makes him feel really uncomfortable.

"You know, Stump. I could help you change; you know because you will need so much help." Brad states, staring at him with his creepy look.

"Um...no. I'm good. In fact, you will step out, while I'm changing." Patrick replies.

"Awww! You're no fun!" Brad comments.

"That's what I was going for. Glad to know it worked." Patrick responds.

Patrick decides to turn on his TV and watch it until they come to kick him out. He flips through the channels, finds something that will work and zones out while watching it. Thirty minutes later, Clara comes back with more paperwork for him to sign.

"These are your discharge papers. Sign here, here, here, and here." Clara instructs.

"Is Spencer not coming?" Patrick asks while signing the papers.

"He is finishing up with another patient and will be here in about five minutes. Here is your uniform. I will send Sebastien in to help you change." She explains.

"Thanks, Clara." Patrick responds with a smile.

"You're welcome, Patrick." She answers with a smile.

Then she turns around and leaves. Sebastien comes in almost immediately after she left.

"Hey Patrick! I hear you need some help changing." Sebastien states.
