I've only been in the hospital for less than a day and I already want to rip the IV out of me and make a run for it.

Looks like I'll be doing a lot of thinking for the next few weeks. I'm surprised the doctors don't have a special room for us Griers since we're here almost every other week.

I was bored out of my mind sitting in the stupid hospital bed. I decided to count all of the tiles on the floor and call of the cracks in the ceiling.

There were 45 tiles and 3 cracks. "And now I'm bored again." I said to myself. I saw Jacks note just laying at the end of my bed but I couldn't reach it.

Every time I sat up, I would become really dizzy.  This sucks, being left in a big room with a bunch of machines making all kinds of noises isn't really my cup of tea.

I heard people talking outside of the room and I would get excited because I thought they would come in the room, but they would just keep walking.

There was a TV in the room but it wasn't on and I didn't know where the remote was.

I might actually die of boredom. I didn't think it was possible until now. This was probably the most bored I've ever been.

The door knob jiggled and I nearly fell off of the bed because I was so excited. I sat up a little and smiled widely.

The door opened and my doctor walked in with a male nurse who was hella hot. "I thought I was going to die of boredom!" I said and the doctor laughed.

"Oh and by the way, you have three cracks in the ceiling and 45 tiles on the floor." I added. "I'll make a note of that." The doctor said pretending to write it down.

"Mr. Ventucci is going to be staying with you to watch you while I care for other patients. Is that okay?" The doctor explained to me and I nodded my head.

"I would be happy if anyone got to stay with me, that's how boring it is." I said and the doctor laughed nodding his head before he left. 

"My name is Bria. I've been in here more times than I can count." I said as Mr. Ventucci pulled up a chair.

"My names Mika and Im training to be a real doctor." He said smiling and his smile was better than Jacks. In fact, his smile was better than anyone's I've ever seen.

"Well as you can tell, I'm kind of a walking disaster so when you become a doctor I might pay a few... thousand visits." I said and he laughed.

"Well maybe I won't charge you." He said and I smiled. "Good because I'm going to be broke by the time I'm 25." I said.

"How old are you?" He asked. "21. What about you?" I asked "23." He said and I raised an eyebrow.

"Is there anything we could possibly do in this horrible place?" I whined laying back down.

"I could turn the tv on for you?" He said but I shook my head. "Get you a puzzle?" He asked and I quickly turned my head towards him.

"No way in hell." I said and he started to think again. "Oh! We could walk around the hospital." He said and I figured that was the best option.

I shrugged sure and sat up. He helped me out of the bed and I held onto him because I only had one working foot and arm.

He got my a wheel car and I sat down sighing. He bumped into the door on the way out causing me to laugh. "Please tell me you're a better driver." I said and he didn't say anything causing me to laugh again.

We went around the whole hospital, three times! When we got back to my room Nash and Cam were in there.

"Hey! It's Bria the Brat!" Cam said messing up my hair. "I'll be right outside." Mika said leaving.
