Chapter 56

"May!" Misty got up from her table when she saw her friend come in with her partner, Drew.

May was going to go to the table when Drew turned another way to sit at the lone table. May tugged his shirt sleeve to get his attention.

Drew was finally able to wear a shirt when he saw it was dry from when they used it as an icepack. When he felt his shirt sleeve being tugged at, he stopped and looked at May.

May was surprised he didn't glare at her. He looked calm and curious to what she wanted. Maybe he was still tired, May wondered. She remembered when the littlest thing she would do would make him scowl.

"You said we can sit next to Misty." She reminded him.

He looked over at where Misty was sitting with the others. He really didn't want to sit by all of those people but he did promise her.

"I'll go get breakfast." He said, turning and walking to the kitchen window. Because they were late to be handed breakfast they had to go and request it.

May nodded and smiled going over to sit by Misty.

Drew came up to the kitchen window and saw Benji was inside suppose to be taking over the kitchen window while his other co-workers were eating breakfast. But instead he found Benji and Dawn holding each other and kissing each other affectionately.

"Hey." Drew snapped them out of their moment.

"Oh. Right." Benji left Dawn to get a tray for breakfast.

"Make it two." Drew called to him and then looked at Dawn.

"I'm gonna...go sit down." Dawn giggled leaving the kitchen area, blushing.

Drew waited for Benji to come back with the breakfast trays.

"Today's thursday. Shouldn't you be taking your break with May?" Drew asked. He thought they had the same schedule.

"Yeah, but since May left the cooking team I have to work an extra day. But it's no big deal. I don't mind." Benji pushed the trays to Drew. "If you're going by Dawn can you tell her I'm off kitchen window duty during lunch."

Drew stacked the food trays and walked away to where May was sitting with Dawn, Misty, Holly and Casey. He sat down and handed her the top tray then looked across the table at Dawn. "Benji said he'll see you at lunch." He mumbled and looked down at his food, ignoring everyone while he ate.

"I tried to get him to come to breakfast but he just wont move or talk to me." Misty sighed, poking at her eggs.

Drew looked over at Misty and scowled. "I told you not to mess with him."

Misty shrugged. "I'm just worried. He's...freaking me out." She sighed.

Drew glared and looked down at his food. He didn't like thinking about Blane. It made him angry because of what they did to him.

"Maybe you can bring him down some breakfast. Once he smells food he'll probably snap out of it." Casey suggested.

"Last night he kept whimpering and humming this music. I think it has something to do with what they showed him." Misty shuddered. "I just can't imagine what happened to him."

May looked over at Drew as he gripped his fork and rubbed his temple with his other hand.

If only they knew, Drew thought disgusted at the images in his head. If they knew what happened to him they would stop talking about it. He pictured the blood and the mirror ceiling. Drew stood up in his seat. A powerful memory smell hit him in the nose. The smell where they kept Blane was unbareable. The tears down his face, the video camera, the sick twisted smiles Dr. Kio and Gregory had. The slow classical music playing in the background.

All of it made Drew dropped to his knees and finally let out the vomit. He thought he was strong enough to hold it back when he first found Blane but now that he had thought about it more and more the more he got sick. He kept putting himself in Blane's place. Who could live through that?

May came to Drew's side and wrapped her arms around him as he threw up again.

"Drew! Drew, come on." She helped him get back up in his chair and he held his stomach.

"I don't..." He stopped and gritted his teeth.

May took a napkin from off her tray and cupped her hand under Drew's chin, wiping his mouth and cooing to him. "It's okay, Drew. Everybody gets sick." She said, trying to ease his embarrassment if he felt any at all.

"I don't feel good..." Drew finished, resting his head on her hand.

"No Kidding." May petted his hair and he relaxed. Once he relaxed, however, he stiffened and jerked out of her grip. He looked around and saw everyone was looking at him. Drew could still smell the room Blane was in but it was fainter now and he was able to push it aside. He glared at everyone and stood up.

"What the hell are you all looking at?" He growled and they all looked back at their food. Drew looked at May. "Hurry up and finish eating. We're leaving." He ordered and May stood up.

"I'm done." She said and Drew growled, walking away with May trailing behind him. "Drew, what is it? What's wrong?" She asked when they came into the hallway. Drew stopped and put his hands up on his head, closing his eyes.

May came up to his side and leaned her head against him.

Drew took a deep breath and let it out slowly. "I'm fine. I've just been under alot of stress." He admitted looking over at May, who leaned against him worried. "...I think we should talk."
