The nurses put me in a wheel chair and took me to the infirmary. I climbed into one of the beds and waited.
"Hello again, Jack," Dr. Jardine said. "How're you feeling."
Better, I signed.
"Good. The nurses and I agree you should be put on some anxiety medication along with the anti-depressants and vitamins. We're going to keep you here for a few days to monitor your reaction okay?"
What about Alex?
"He will be allowed to come visit you during free time."
Okay.
"So you will willingly take the anxiety medication twice a day along with your other medication?
I nodded.
"Okay. You'll get your first dose tonight, and will take them during breakfast and dinner."
I nodded to show I understood.
"We're also going to be hooked up to a heart monitor so we can tell if you're getting agitated, okay?"
Okay.
She put a clip on my finger.
"We're also going to keep you on oxygen for a little longer," she continued. "The nurses mixed in a calming agent, so you should begin to feel very relaxed."
I nodded, already starting to feel the effects.
"Should I get Alex now?"
I nodded quickly.
Dr. Jardine left and Alex rushed in.
"Jacky," Alex cried as he threw his arms around me. "I was so worried. Is everything okay?"
Anxiety, I signed slowly. I was so tired.
"You okay, Jacky? You look tired."
I yawned and nodded.
"Sleep Jacky. You're safe now."
I patted the bed next to me and scooted over.
"You want me in bed with you? Jeez Jack. You could have asked ages ago and I would have said yes."
I grinned and felt the side of the bed dip down.
Fatty, I signed, grinning like an idiot.
"You offend me, Jack," Alex scoffed.
I snuggled closer to him and threw my arm over his chest before falling into a dreamless sleep.
