Elizabeth Jensen stood behind her parents as they spoke to Dr. Ellman about Clay Jensen in the Psych Ward of the hospital. Clay was taken there after freaking out during the lockdown. The girl stood next to Justin Foley, holding his hand. "We're concerned about the possibility of self-harm more than anything." Clay therapist spoke to the Jensen parents.
"Are you?" Matt Jensen questioned. "Concerned about the possibility of self-harm?"
Dr. Ellman shrugged before answering. "I think it's not a bad idea that we continue observation for a period of time." Elizabeth looked into her brother's hospital room and made eye contact with him as he was listening to their conversation. He was tied up to the bed so he could not leave. "From the police reports, it does appear that some fort of breakdown took place at the school."
"Thanks an understatement." Elizabeth spoke under her breath so only her boyfriend could hear.
"The drill was incredibly stressful, and not just for Clay." Dr. Ellman continued, not hearing Elizabeth's comment."
Justin noticed Elizabeth staring into her brother's room. "Do you want to talk to him?" The girl nodded in response, and the two entered the room. "Hey." Justin spoke softly, causing Clay to look away.
"How do you feel?" Elizabeth moved closer to Clay, trying to take his hand, but he quickly moved it away from her.
Clay did not even look at them as he spoke. "They're going to keep me here, aren't they?"
Justin nodded in response, snaking his arm around his girlfriend's waist. "We were arguing with them. She was yelling about it a minute ago." Justin stated, looking back at the three adults who were still discussing Clay.
"So, I guess..." Clay continued to stare out the window. "Congrats. You both are full-on the good kids."
Elizabeth looked down at her hands. "Clay, don't be like that." She sighed, shaking her head. "I'm sorry." She glanced back up at him as her eyes began to water. "I'm sorry that I haven't been there to help you when you needed me." She let out a sob, hugging her boyfriend and marrying her face in his jacket. "Fuck, I'm a terrible sister." Justin ran his hand through Elizabeth's hair.
"I'm not crazy." There was a pause before Clay spoke again. "I'm just scared."
"Yeah, man." Justin sighed, kissing the top of Elizabeth's head. "I am too."
The girl finally pulled away from her boyfriend and moved closer towards Clay's bed. "I can stay with you today, if you want?"
