Chapter 10

Sometimes dealing with patients just frustrated the hell out of me.

I love my job, but seriously, a guy can only handle so much.

"Hatter, please open the door. I'm sorry," I said through the closet door.

"Oh dear, what are you doing behind the door?" exclaimed Hatter.

I had just been grabbing a mop to clean up the coffee I spilled when Hatter just pops out of nowhere asking if I knew how to get to the sideways side of the moon. I just said I wasn't very good at riddles and he got pissed and somehow had barricaded me in the closet. I wasn't sure how since you needed a key to lock it from the outside.

"If you let me out I'll make you some tea." Hatter could usually be controlled with tea. He had some weird obsession with it.

"Oh tea, that sounds wonderful! Do you have some jam to go along with it?" said Hatter squealing in delight.

"All the jam you could ever want!" I said desperately. I had stuff to do. I needed to get out of this closet.

"Hmmm, I'm not much of a jam person."

I ran my hands through my hair in frustration. Hatter was the most annoying patient to work with. A lot of nurses quit because of him.

"Hatter what are you doing talking to the door?" I recognized the voice.

"Aerith! I'm in the closet! Please let me out!" I yelled pounding on the door making sure she realized I was in the closet.

"Zack?"

I heard keys jingling and the door opened. Aerith peered in; I can see she's trying to hide her smile.

I rolled my eyes and walked out of the closet with as much dignity as I could muster. I really wanted to lock the little bucktoothed man in isolation but I know Aerith wouldn't let me. I could practically hear her say, "He doesn't know any better."

Ha! He knows what he's doing. He's like one of those criminals blaming killing people on their ADD. Yeah, ADD my ass.

"Aerith could you handle him for me, I need to do rounds." I didn't wait for an answer and started to walk away. Aerith always helped me out.

"Sure no problem," she called over to me. Aerith is really sweet. I don't think she's ever said a mean thing in her life.

I walked down to the patients bedrooms and took a quick look in every one. I had to make sure the patients weren't doing anything dangerous or hurting themselves or anything. Every Friday we did a full search of the room looking for any items deemed a Danger Item by Dr. Ansem.

Most of the rooms were empty. But when I poked my head in Larxene and Namine's room I was greeted with a lovely, "Get the fuck out!"

"Nice to see you to, Larxene!" I said cheerily back and moved on the next room.

Demyx and Luxord's room was empty but Demyx's side table drawer was half open and for some reason I got a feeling something that shouldn't be, was in there.

I walked over and peered down into the drawer. There were a few music sheets and pencils and normal stuff, but there was also a little bundle wrapped in a towel.

I reached down and cautiously pulled open the bundle. You never could guess what would be hidden in some of the patient's rooms. I've seen some weird shit in my time here.

In the bundle was a bunch of little blue pills. I recognized them as Demyx's medication. He must have not been taking them and stashing them away. This was a red flag. Usually this meant the patient was probably going to try and take all the pills at once. Plus this explained why Demyx had a personality switch the other day.

I shook my head and picked up the pills and shoved them in my pocket. I was going to have to tell Dr. Ansem to have an emergency session with him.

I went through the rest of the rooms and didn't find anything else wrong.

So I headed back to the nurses station to report the pill hording. Aerith was behind the counter filling up water cups.

"Hey Aerith, have you been watching when Demyx takes his pills?" I asked leaning my elbows on the counter.

"Yeah, he's been taking them. Why?" she said turning around to face me.

"Look what I found." I pulled the bundle of pills out of my pocket and set them on the counter.

Her eyes dimmed in a sad way, "Oh no, I'm sorry, I should've been watching him more closely. This is all my fault."

"No don't think that, Aerith. It's Demyx's decision not to take his meds; we can only help him so much. Do you think we should call Ansem?" I asked.

"Yeah I'll call him. Could you go get Demyx and bring him here?"

"Sure." I said and walked back down the hallway. I looked in the lounge first, because it was usually the most populated area. I quickly glanced around the room. Sora and Riku were watching TV on the couch. Axel was doing homework at on of the tables. Alice was sitting in a corner reading a book. Luxord was playing cards with a few patients sitting around watching. The new patient named Mickey was sitting in an armchair dreamily staring out of a window. But I didn't see any sign of Demyx.

"Hey have you guys seen Demyx anywhere?" I asked Sora and Riku.

"Hmm, I think he's in the music room," replied Sora. Riku just shot me an angry glare for disrupting him. That kid just needs to chill out.

"Thanks," I said and walked back out of the hall.

I found Demyx sitting in one of the corners of the music room strumming a guitar.

The melody he was playing was interrupted when he suddenly jerked his arm down making the guitar make a very unmusical noise.

"Damn it! Stop it! It's not funny." He said angrily to no one.

"Demyx? Are you okay?" I asked stepping forward carefully.

His head shot up shocked, "Oh hey Zack. I'm fine. What's up?"

"Dr. Ansem wants to see you. Could you come with me?" I asked.

"Sure wha-…," he stopped midsentence his eyes getting glazed over.

"Go away. I don't want to see Ansem. I'm busy." His voice got deeper, harsher. His shoulders had tensed up. He switched personalities.

"Hello Brian, can I talk to Demyx?" I asked.

The reply was a music stand getting thrown at my head. I ducked just in time. But I had to quickly jump out of the way of the guitar.

Brian stormed over to me knocking everything down in his path.

"I'm here to help you, Brian, just chill out!" I said trying to reason with him.

"YOU DON'T WANT TO HELP ME! YOU WANT TO GET RID OF ME!" he screamed grabbing shoving me back into the wall.

"Demyx! Come on Demyx!" I pleaded looking straight into Brian's eyes. I was honestly scared. Brian was frightening. I've seen him get violent before and he doesn't hold back. He can do some damage.

Brian's eyes flickered. They looked softer and then went back to being blazing with anger. Then went soft again and stayed. I sighed with relief.

"I am so sorry. I didn't mean to! Oh man I'm sorry." He backed up quickly from me.

"It's okay, Demyx, just please come with me. You really need to see Ansem right away," I said in my soothing voice I spent weeks practicing on in college. I watch movies. Doctors always had a calming voice.

He frowned and tentatively started to follow me out of the room.

I didn't mention anything about the pills to him. That was Ansem's job.

When we finally got to Ansem's door I opened it for him and let him walk in. He was hunched over very focused at looking at the floor.

I looked down and checked my watch. It was already my break time. Thank god. I need to sit down and rest for a while. I don't think I can handle anything else right now.

I walked back to the nurse station and went in the back to the break room.

I sat down in one of the cushy red chairs. My legs pretty much had an orgasm when I finally sat down. I had been rushing around the hospital for five hours.

I love my job. I love my job. I love my job. I love my job. I love my job.

I really do like helping people, but some days I just wanted to quit and become an accountant or something. I almost joined the army when I graduated. I'm really happy I didn't. The war started 3 months after I started college. I'd probably be dead if I had signed up.

My thoughts were interrupted by my phone ringing very loudly. I hate techno ring tones. They were possibly the most annoying thing created. But it got me to answer the phone faster to stop the noise.

I flipped my phone open, "Sup?"

"Hey Zack." It was Cloud. We had been really good friends for a long time. He was my roommate in college. He didn't actually go to college but we shared an apartment close to the campus. He works at this weird electric company. We still lived pretty close to each other and hung out a lot.

"Oh hey, what's up?" I asked.

"I was just wondering how Roxas is doing. I haven't visited him in a while."

Damn I forgot to call him about the incident yesterday! I smacked my head. Cloud was going to freak out.

"Oh damn dude. I should've called you. I'm sorry I've been swamped."

"What happened," demanded Cloud calmly. He didn't sound pissed or anything. But I knew he was.

"Roxas was in group yesterday and he started having a panic attack and spitting up blood. I checked on him this morning. The doctor said his stomach lining was torn up from all the weird stuff he's ate. But he'll be fine. Don't worry we got it taken care of." I said quickly.

Cloud was silent for a moment, "What caused him to panic?"

"Well Leon says he was saying a lot of stuff that didn't make much sense and then mentioned Kairi and just freaked out. He never has gotten over her death." Every time I thought about what happened to Kairi I wanted to find that bastard that killed her and make him pay for what he did.

I heard Cloud sigh, "I'll have to go see him. God I hate my fucking parents for doing this to him, letting that sleazebag Sephiroth even near Kairi. This is a mess," he groaned.

"I'm sorry Cloud. You know I wish I could help out more," I said. If Roxas just got better then maybe things could go back to how they were. Roxas wasn't always like this. He used to pretty normal. I mean I always thought he was a little weird, I know his parents were complete junkies, but he just lost it when Kairi died.

"You're doing the best you can. Don't worry about this, it's not your problem," said Cloud.

"I care about Roxas too. This is my problem. You not alone at this," I said. Cloud never accepted help. He always tried to do stuff on his own.

"Thanks Zack, I gotta get to work. I'll talk to you later."

"Yeah me too, drop by and see me. Bye," I said.

I hung up my phone and sighed.

Everything always happens at once. It can't be spread out; all the shit has to happen at the same fucking time.

I really didn't want to go back to work.

But I made myself get up and face the crazies once again.

I love my job.

Mmm my hair is no longer bright red. It's like brown red now.

Yay.

Oh noes! Did Roxas kill Kairi? Or did Sephiroth?

I wonder what will happen!!!!

Review? And I shall send dolphins to swim in your bathtub. So when you open the shower curtain they say "Surprise bitch!"

Yeah?
