After Cody had been loaded into the ambulance successfully, Kurt and Zack followed behind by a few minutes in the bus. He had arranged for the other band members to fly back to Boston. Dubois was about three hours from Pittsburgh, so this trip was going to take time. After a few short minutes, Kurt lost the ambulance, so he resorted to typing in the address on his GPS.

"Zack, what's the address?" he asked his son.

"317 Maple Avenue, Dubois, PA"

Kurt fumbled for a few seconds with the GPS, then turned it over to his son. "Here, you do it. These things piss me off."

Zack laughed for the first time in a couple hours. He typed in the address. After the route had been calculated, he put the GPS back on the dashboard. He looked at the estimated time to arrival counter, which read 2 hours 48 minutes. Zack took this opportunity, now that he knew his brother was well-sedated and safe, to take a much needed nap.

As Zack dozed off, he began to dream. This dream was different than any he had had before. He saw Cody. He was walking over the old bridge down by the state park. Why on God's earth was Cody standing on that bridge. He began to climb up the bridge wall, which was only about three and a half feet high. He looked down and then look straight up as if he was talking to someone in the sky. Zack became worried. He started to run toward his brother. But, before he could get there, Cody had already taken a plunge into the river forty feet below. Zack heard screaming unlike anything he had ever heard. He ran to look down. He shouldn't have done that. About forty feet below his feet were the shattered remains of his identical twin. Zack couldn't believe what he just witnessed. He was too late. His brother was gone. It felt so real. He thought about jumping after his brother, but knew he wouldn't survive the fall. And, he was definitely unable to be saved. He stood on the bridge, and cried. But who was standing beside him? It was Cody! But, didn't he just die?

"CODY! Are you ok?"

He replied in a monotone voice. "No. This is my reality. This is how I feel everyday of my life. This is why I want to die."

Zack wanted to respond, he wanted to help Cody. However, after Cody's response, Zack had been jarred out of his sleep by road construction and lost the connection with his brother. He came back into reality, slowly, and looked at the GPS. The estimated time to arrival was 28 minutes. It sure didn't feel like he slept that long. They had just gotten onto Interstate 80, and were making there way towards exit 101, Dubois. Zack tried to recall the dream, but it was foggy. He knew he had seen Cody try to jump off the bridge, but it wasn't as vivid as it was then. He now understood, though, why Cody did what he did. It was too much for Cody to handle. Zack thanked God that the bridge scene was not how Cody attempted suicide, because Zack knew that Cody wouldn't be in that ambulance right now. He would be dead.

Kurt and Zack finally made it to exit 101. They took a very sharp turn around a big hill and came up to a stop sign. The woman on the GPS began spouting off directions at a rapid fire pace. They turned left on Bee Line Highway, left onto Shaffer Rd and then right onto Maple Ave. The bus traveled a few blocks until finally Kurt and Zack came to a sign that read:

"Dubois Regional Medical Center

East Campus

NO EMERGENCY SERVICES AT THIS FACILITY"

Zack wondered what hospital didn't offer emergency services, but put that off for another time. They followed the signs to Entrance C, where they had been told by Regina to register at. They met an ambulance at the entrance.

"We need to stop the Haloperidol drip before we can get him off of the ambulance. I have my technician taking care of it now. You guys go in and start the registration."

Kurt nodded and proceeded through the power-assisted doors. The building seemed very old. He saw a plaque on the wall that said "MAPLE AVENUE HOSPITAL." That must have been the name of the hospital before the hospitals merged or something. He went up to a small window labeled "Registration" and rang the bell.

"May I help you?" A younger woman, probably about mid-20s came over to the window.

"Yes, I am here to admit my son. He is being transferred from UPMC Shadyside."

"Oh, yes, we've been called. I have a direct 201 admit order here for Martin comma Cody?

"Correct."

"Ok, I'll call up and have one of the psych aides take you guys upstairs, okay?"

"Sure, thanks." Kurt never thought he would thank someone for offering to take him to a psychiatric ward.

Zack and Kurt went back outside to check on the removal of Cody's intravenous line. It seemed as if they had removed the line and were beginning to get Cody up. They awoke him by gently nudging his side, and he stirred. As he sat up, it was a sad, sad sight. His eyes were swollen from crying and they appeared to be looking in different places. His breathing was slow and labored. His whole face seemed sunken in and appeared to have little to no life left in it. Zack had to turn away. He wasn't sure how Cody could come back from this.

They walked Cody ever so carefully into the waiting area. They grabbed a wheelchair and had him take a seat. Cody began to talk, his speech slurring as he spoke.

"I...I'm sorry, you guys. I lo...love you. I didn't mean for it to get this far. You shouldn't have to put up with me. I'm...I'm a horrible person!"

Kurt began to cry at his son's speech. Zack soon followed suit.

"Cody," Kurt said "you are having some real issues here. We love you and everything is going to be okay. I promise. You're going to get better."

Cody was now crying. Before he could speak, however, he was greeted by a woman whose nametag read only "Jennifer, Registered Nurse."

"Hello, are you Cody?" she asked in a sweet voice.

Cody only nodded.

"Ok, my name is Jennifer and I am your 'primary' nurse here at our unit. I'll give you your medications..." she was interrupted by Cody.

"Medications?" Cody asked, worried. "What kind of medications? I'm not THAT crazy, am I?"

"You aren't crazy, period, but yes, medication will more than likely be a part of Doctor's care plan for you."

Cody wondered why the woman called the psychiatrist "Doctor", but he could figure that out later.

Jennifer continued. "I will give you your medication, take your vitals every morning, and be here if you ever need to talk when a counselor isn't in."

Cody didn't really know what he would possibly need to talk about. His mother's death was a big one, but other than that he didn't really know what caused his depression in general. He only knew what was exacerbating it. He hoped he could figure it out though, before the voices came back.

Cody responded. "Ok, I guess."

Jennifer gave him a smile. "It's going to be alright, honey. We're going to help you get better. I need to sign this paper stating that you are signing yourself in under Section 201 of the mental health procedures act."

Kurt spoke up. "Shouldn't I be signing things for him?"

Jennifer replied. "No, in the state of Pennsylvania, all mental health care can be managed by the patient, as long as they are over age 14 and are competent."

Kurt nodded in understanding, and sat back in the couch. Cody took the paper and signed it. He hoped he hadn't just signed his life away.

Jennifer had one other paper. "This paper states that you will give us a 72 hour notice if you plan on signing yourself out of the hospital. Dad, you have to sign this one."

Cody was curious. "So, if I decide that I hate it here tomorrow, I can't leave without giving you 72 hour's notice?"

"That's correct. Dad, the same applies to you."

Both of the Martin's signed the paper. They knew that Cody getting better depended on it.

"OK, then, follow me upstairs!" Jennifer said in an extremely cheery tone.

The Martin clan did as they were told, and as they boarded the elevator to the second floor, they each began to wonder what laid ahead for Cody. Jennifer pressed the button for the second floor, and then entered the security code, considering that the adolescent unit was secure, and this elevator was not for visitor access. The elevator started moving upward, and Cody's journey to health was about to begin.
