Chapter 17: Like a wrecking ball

Ryder's POV:

"Hey, uh, Drew?" I started.

"Yeah?" He asked in response.

"You know, that you're aloud to let go of my hand, right?" I asked as he looked down. He has yet to let go.

"I didn't even notice. Sorry." He said letting go.

My hand felt bare now. Cold and clamy.

"You don't need to apologize." I mumbled, barely enough for me to hear.

We sat there talking, the guys looked as if they hadn't slept in ages. They told me about how they barely slept through my coma, which was really short, suprisingly.

"What's Ryder going to do with her schooling?" Drew's mom asked.

"Well, she's going to school for about a month and a half, the school will provide her with an online program where she'll get her lessons and tests, during the tour. After the tour, she'll go back to school." Drew explained.

"When does she start?" His mom asked.

"She supposed to start on Wednesday but, we still need to figure what the doctor wants her to do." Drew said.

All this school talk makes me want to stab a wall.

A tall man with dark hair and tan skin walked in. He looked to be a doctor. He was flipping through papers on his clip board as he pushed his glasses up his nose.

"Ms. Chadwick, how are you feeling? I'm Dr. Kuntupis. I've been you're doctor for the past few days." The man, Dr. Kuntupis, asked.

"I'm good, doctor. How are you?" I asked as he shook my hand.

"I'm great. Would you like to know what happened?" He asked as I nodded in response.

"Well, were not entirely sure why you blacked out but, you have your OCD and you have developed seperation anxiety and cyclothymia." Dr. Kuntupis said.

"What's cyclothymia?" I asked.

"It's a mood disorder. Not as severe as bipolar disorder but, you'll have mild mood swings." He said. I nodded, showing that I understood. "You will be able to start school with all of the other students."

Drew looked like he had heard this a thousand times already.

"When can I leave?" I asked.

Dr. Kuntupis let out a light chuckle, "Most likely, tomorrow afternoon. We'll perscribe you medication also."

With that, Dr. Kuntupis left as we sat around as we all looked at the hospital menu for dinner.

"You guys don't have to eat this crap. You all go get real food. I'll be fine." I said.

"Were not leaving." Wes assured.

I looked through the special menu they have for people with eating disorders.

They called for a nurse that took our orders and she soon came back up with our food.

I ordered a small salad which, suprisingly, wasn't half bad. You don't know how much I hate hospital food in general.

It was soon 11 pm. Drew's mom had already left and Keaton and Wes were now leaving. Drew refused to leave me here by myself.

I called for a nurse to bring me an extra pillow.

"You need another pillow?" He asked as a pretty nurse handed me the pillow and left.

"No. It's for you." I said handing it to him.
