Tara's POV

The day after the Ruckus happened, I decided to skip my classes and went straight to Mr. Cameron's clinic located near Washington Squarepark. I wanted to seek his advice and talk about Nathan/Wayne's condition being severe and worse. I didn't have plenty of sleeping hours last night because of thoughts and concerns running through my head.

As the cab dropped me in front of his workplace, I walked straight inside and wandered around the place. It wasn't as big as the hospitals or mental centers in Manhattan though.. it seemed like it was just a personal and supporting office coming from big branches outside different states or I don't know maybe out of the country? Anyway it seemed like he was that recognized because of the awards and frames displayed everywhere in his office. 

"Oh Tara dear, you should have contacted me.. I'm quite surprised," he greeted and sat down on his huge chair. "I thought you have classes today?"

"Sorry Mr. James. I just had to see you right now," I scratched my arms, feeling slightly ashamed of my surprise visit and sat in front of his desk.

"Well, what is it that bothered you so much to come here?" he asked curiously, leaning his chin on top of his intertwined fingers. "Is this about Nathan and Wayne?"

I nodded slightly and spoke, "I noticed last night when I ran back to his house to check up on him, that he was going out of control over his shifting personalities. I think you really need to take him back for treatment and diagnosis. I think his disorder is just beyond normal.." I explained, trying to convince him.

"It's not that easy Tara. As much as I want to help him get treated, if the patient is not willing himself, we can't do anything about it." 

"But in television, doctors can force mental patients into a hospital especially when they see them being out of hand.." I persuaded.

"Dear, you know he's not an animal that we can just--"

"I know..I know.. but.. I'm just really worried for him Mr. James.. I don't know what else to do. I feel insane just by seeing him begging for help through his eyes. Even if he doesn't say it, I know deep inside he's craving for it." I sighed.

"I can see how much you like this guy, Tara. And that's really brave of you to take such risk," he commented and reached for my hands, smiling a bit for comfort. "It's okay. I'll try to convince him myself. Just pray for the best." he reassured.

I sighed in relief and nodded. I was still in doubt of the effect from the plan we intended to happen but I trusted Mr. James, and that was enough to give me the slightest hope.

Almost one week had passed and I noticed that Nathan/Wayne still had been missing school. My thoughts told me it could have been the reason of his fear for himself or Mr. James' treatment. I didn't know yet because I still wasn't informed up to that day. I wanted to visit him though but the hesitation is still there.  I didn't want to shock him from my presence again. 

I really hope Mr. James will take him fast. I miss him..

I went for an early walk in the morning at the school field. I sat on the bleachers and looked across the far view. Every memory of him slowly crawled into my mind. The reminiscence I had was much of an impact to me. It was bitter-sweet to remember all the experiences and moments we had together.. especially with Jimmy and Rose. I smiled for myself as I also recalled all the unintended or about-to-kiss situations we had. 

Lol we never had a serious or real one..

I stretched my arms and screamed at the top of my lungs. "UGH WHY IS EVERYTHING SO COMPLICATED!!" I sighed and sat back.

"I guess that's life?" Rose suddenly approached, climbing up to the bleachers.

"Oh hey, h-how did you find me?" I waved and scratched my nape, slightly embarrassed. 

"I was just supposed to come here early for the free cupcakes booth outside the campus but then I saw your tweet 30 minutes ago that you would standby here.." she smiled and sat beside me.

"Oh, is that so? haha," I chuckled and grinned.

"Anything from Nathan and Wayne yet?" she suddenly asked.

"Nope. I do hope he's fine though," I looked at her and shrugged.

"What about Johnny?"

"Still suspended," I glanced back at the view and sniffed from the itchiness in my nose.

"Uh Tara.. do you think things wouldn't go this far if Johnny didn't threaten him in the first place?"

"I also thought about that.. but then I remembered what Mr. Norman told me before and that is.. everything happens for a reason. I guess this point of his condition would happen anyway even with different causes. Maybe something is just meant to happen. But I'm not entirely sure what for," I explained and tilted my head, wondering.

"Wowwww.. I never seen this poetic side of you," she teased, nudging me.

"Shut up," I laughed and pushed her slightly.

All of a sudden my phone rang and saw Mr. James' name on the screen. I casually answered without any idea of what he might had called me for. "Hello? Mr. James? Glad you--"

"TARA.. SO-SOMETHING HAPPENED," he spoke in the other line with a nervous tone.

"Huh? what do you mean? what happened?" I shifted my expression into a serious one and listened eagerly.

"My wife... and him.." 

"Him? him who? Nathan and Wayne? Hello, Mr. James? What about them?" 

"They just got into a car accident. I need you to come into the hospital right now."

What

My eyes grew in shock and the nerves inside of my body felt like it was frozen to death. I held my phone away from my ears and stood up, still choking in disbelief.

"Tara? What's wrong? What did he say?" Rose tugged the cloth of my shirt then stood in front of me.

"We.. we need to go to the hospital RIGHT NOW," I looked at her directly in the eyes, all-open and tensed.
