6am and ashley hadn't gotten a second of sleep. melanie slept fine, and was still peacefully sleeping on ashley's bed. ashley decided against calling out sick. she was already in enough trouble with doctor momsen. ashley looked in the mirror and cringed slightly. she was extremely pale and her eyes had dark circles around them. her eyes were tinted red and her hair was a disaster. she put on some fresh clothes, though she didn't bother with her hair or makeup. she walked down the hallway to the normal area for the group therapy sessions. ariel gave ashley a worried look.

"uh, doc, you okay?" ariel asked in concern. ashley laughed, not really knowing why.

"fine, i'm yeah."

"are you drunk?" ariel asked nervously.

"no. i just didn't sleep at all last night. it's all good, though. i'm doing fine."

"i don't think your previous statement really supports that," ariel said with a nervous laugh. ashley just shrugged.
