"Hi Sam."

She was laying sideways on her bed. Trails of tears stained her face. "Hey pill boy." She sniffled.

"Come on, not even a name today?" I said jokingly.

She apparently wasn't in the mood. 

"Just bring me the medicine."

I walked forward slowly. "Are you okay?"

"No. Just give me the pills. Are you a freaking psychiatrist or something?"

"Yes I am." I said, a broad smile on my face.

That seemed to make Sam smile.

"Since i'm a psychiatrist or whatever, want to talk about why you are sad?"

"Nope."

"Okay... Want to hear a lame joke?"

"Sure."

"Why do seagulls live by the sea?"

"Because if they lived near the bay, they would be bagels." Sam finished.

"How did you know?" I laughed.

"I'm psychic."

We both laughed at this, and Sam seemed to forget her sadness.

"Okay, Jay, medicine?"

"Oh! Yeah! Forgot!"

I walked forward quickly and gave her what she needed. For a quick moment, our hands touched. Sam emitted a hissing noise and snapped her hand back.

"Sorry, Sam!"

"I- It's okay."

I blushed and turned away.

"Hey, thanks for cheering me up." She said quietly as I exited her room.

"Yeah. I guess I would make a good psychiatrist."

Sam's laughter drifted after me, washing all her tears away.
