Jamie's P.O.V.
This place isn't a place to help people; this is more like an asylum allowed to operate.
I'm too scared to eat and weak to fight these so-called doctors. They gave up on me, and I haven't seen a doctor or food in two days. I hear them yell at me to shut up as I often cry throughout the day. I know I'm dying; I wish I could have said goodbye to Crosshairs and Drift.
"Shut up!" A doctor yells as I cry.
I cry until I hear an explosion. I stand up to try to walk to the door but fall to the floor. All I can do is cry; I don't think Drift knows I'm here.

Drift's P.O.V.
This place looks awful. How is this place operational?
"Where are you keeping this girl?" Prime asks, showing the human a picture of Jamie.
"Don't bother; that human is just about dead," the human says, sounding very proud one of their patients is dying.
"Tell us where she is now!" Sunstreaker demands, showing the human his knife.
"Fine, down the hall, the last door on the right," the human tells us, pointing to one of the five hallways.

We couldn't believe the room they kept Jamie in or the state she is in.
"Ratchet was right; she wouldn't have lasted much longer," Crosshairs says while checking Jamie's pulse. We see the scar; they took the monitor chip out.
"The humans here know about her cross-dimensional adventures?" Ironhide asks.
"We'll figure that out later; she needs help now," I tell them.
Jamie isn't aware we're here; forget three days, more like three hours.
"Come on, let's get you out of here," I say as I pick her up and carry her out of the room. Jamie is limp and unconscious.

I hate how the others see how bad Jamie is as I take her to the medbay. Ratchet is horrified when I walk in.
"Out!" He demands once I lay Jamie on the bed.
He slams the door in my face.
All I can do is sit on the floor and cry. I don't care if the others are seeing this. My girl is fading away, and I can't say goodbye.

Ratchet's P.O.V.
This is horrific. I was way off; Jamie will die in hours if I don't do something. The problem is there's no quick fix. No one's going to like I'm putting Jamie in a medically induced coma and on several machines. I need to do all I can to lessen the work Jamie's body needs to do to allow it to focus on healing.

It's a challenging four hours before I let Prime and Lennox come in.
"Damn, I'd love to take that so-called psychiatric hospital down," Lennox fumes.
"That will not help Jamie now," Optimus tells him.
We dread talking about whether or not to tell any of the others, specifically Crosshairs and Drift. Either way, Drift will be a wreck, and Crosshairs and the others will be shocked. I brought up how I'd love to tell Jamie's family and scold them, but they wouldn't care. They wouldn't believe I'm a doctor who knows what works to help Jamie mentally. They wouldn't believe me as I tell them they're doing the complete opposite of what she needs.

Crosshairs' P.O.V.
I keep a hold on Drift if he passes out from what he sees. Aware we're both going down if I pass out.
I didn't expect Drift to turn around to hug me and let himself cry again. I know Ratchet can't tell us if Jamie will recover or how long she'll be in this state, and I hate it.
I get Drift to sit down on a nearby chair, so I can sit down and let myself cry. This hurts; my friend is on life support, and my other friend is watching his love die. This is going to be rough. Ratchet will not let us stay here, and I doubt Prowl will let us have time off.
Please let Jamie recover.
As I expected, I am having difficulty getting Drift to leave. It's midnight, and we both have duty tomorrow. True, we don't need to sleep every night, but I want Drift to step away from Jamie for a while.
"Leave him alone for now," Ratchet tells me.
At least I got Drift to lie on a berth. I'm hoping he'll fall asleep, but at the same time, I don't think I can either.

Neither of us got any sleep. I hate seeing Drift like this. I hate seeing Jamie like this. This is worse than a severe flare-up. I can get Drift to go to the cafeteria. Allowing me to talk to Ratchet.
"There's nothing that'll help him right now. Staying here 24/7 isn't good for him, but he will have a hard time doing his tasks. I'm not putting him in stasis either," Ratchet tells me.
"I worry he's going to hurt himself," I tell Ratchet.
"Then you'll have to keep an eye on him, which shouldn't be a problem."

Drift's P.O.V.
I should have known something was up for Jamie not to contact me for a month. I'd call her every night, sometimes... shit, I missed warning signs. She needed more than a phone call every night. What happened to her is horrific, but what if she...
I feel dizzy and rush to sit at a table.
I don't know what I'm going to do; I know it will be at least a month before Ratchet can consider ending the medically induced coma if Jamie can recover.
"Hey, are you ok?" Bee asks.
"No," I reply in a sad tone.
Bumblebee walks away as Crosshairs walks towards the table.
"I don't know what I'm going to do," I tell Crosshairs as he sits down next to me. I know he's also worried.
It's a good thing our holoforms don't require food. It's hard enough drinking Energon, and I know Ratchet won't let me go into stasis to avoid seeing how critical Jamie is.

Ratchet's P.O.V.
I don't like what Bumblebee told me, but it's too soon to tell Drift anything. Yes, Jamie is at death's door, but it's not certain she will die yet. I'm not sure if I should let him see Jamie or stay away.

I let him come visit after breakfast. He's able to sit by the bed and hold Jamie's hand.
"Jamie, I love you, and I don't want to lose you," Drift says before crying.
They haven't seen how skinny she is. It will likely be several months before I can end the medically induced coma, though I'm not sure if Jamie can pull through. I don't know if Drift will resort to trying to end his life or not, but he needs to be near Jamie and not in stasis. Even if she's unstable and her vitals are low.

Crosshairs' P.O.V.
We spent the day in the medbay. Just like last night, we sleep on a berth.

I wake up to Drift talking and crying in his sleep.
"No, Jamie, don't leave me."
"Drift, wake up," I say as I lightly shake him.
He looks at me before looking over at Jamie and crying. I get him to sit up and hug him.
"She'll be ok."
I know I shouldn't be saying this now, but Jamie is a fighter and has dealt with her illness for years. Even if this is a lot worse, she's managed to pull through several times.
No matter where he is, Drift is going to worry about Jamie.

Ratchet's P.O.V.
It's been a rough two weeks. We lost Jamie three times. I don't want to give up, but that's not a good sign, even if she was able to be revived quickly. She's way too skinny, and her body doesn't have the strength to fight. There's no way I can get her to gain weight fast. She's gained a little in the past two weeks. This will take months, even with the specially formulated nutrition I've been giving her to help her gain weight and strength. Drift is getting more depressed. Several Autobots have been urging me to put him in stasis. I might have to since he's slowly neglecting himself, but I have to consider how that would affect Crosshairs.

Mirage has been trying to figure out if Decepticons somehow are involved with this. For one, Jamie wasn't in her original form. These so-called doctors knew about the monitor chip in her throat, and there's no way they thought they had a different patient. This might end up being an unsolved mystery, like how the hell did Jamie separate her two appearances to be like two separate humans?
Her disabilities in her original form doesn't affect the form she uses in her adventures, and her original form doesn't deal with the dreaded illness.
"Come on, Jamie, Drift is crushed already. We all don't want you to go."

Optimus Prime's P.O.V.
I dread hearing how poorly Drift is doing. He doesn't even know Jamie flatlined twice, but that's when he started to really struggle. I'm not sure how he'd know since he wasn't in the room. Crosshairs is worried Drift will harm himself.

Drift's P.O.V.
I swear I saw Jamie twice in the middle of the hallway by the medbay, but she vanished the second I saw her. I can't do this anymore. Crosshairs has been keeping a close eye on me, so I can't stop drinking Energon. I know he's trying everything we do to help Jamie during her rough days, but this isn't the same.

I sit on my bed, looking at the pictures on my phone.
I don't know what I would do without you, Jamie.
I haven't been able to sleep much for the past two weeks. Maybe I'll be able to recharge for a few days.

In my bipedal mode, I walk into the medbay and stand by Jamie's bed. I knew looking at her from this high up would be horrific, but I still can't believe how many machines and tubes she's on. I activate my holoform to kiss her.
"Please let her recover. I love you, Jamie."
Once my holoform is deactivated, I lie on the berth at the back of the room, hoping to slip into recharge.

Crosshairs' P.O.V.
I haven't seen Drift in hours, and his alt mode isn't in the hanger; this isn't good. He hasn't had patrol since we found Jamie.
:: Crosshairs, did you know Drift is recharging in the medbay?:: Ratchet comms me.
Instead of replying, I activate my holoform and rush to the medbay.

"He is in recharge, no drugs injected," Ratchet tells me.
"How long before he goes that far?" I ask.
"I agree; it would be wise to put Drift in stasis for a short period," Optimus adds.
This might be like putting a depressed human in a medically induced coma, which doesn't make sense, but there's nothing more we can do to help him. I don't know if letting him stay here is enough to keep him from going that far.
"How long should I keep him in stasis?" Ratchet asks, "I don't know how long it'll be before Jamie starts improving," Ratchet says while looking at me.
Drift, Jamie, and I are close, and seeing the two struggle hurts, but I'm not doing as bad as Drift.
"If you agree it'll be better for Drift, then do it," I tell Ratchet.
"You want me to keep him in stasis until Jamie starts improving? I can't say for certain, but it'll likely be a month."
Damn, I hated hearing that.
"Let's do two weeks for now," Prime tells Ratchet.
We need a damn miracle.

Mirage's P.O.V.
I have been trying to figure out how this so-called psychiatric hospital knows about the monitor chip in Jamie's throat. She might be in danger if Decepticons are involved. So far, I'm finding nothing, but I don't want to think there's no connection and Jamie is in danger.
I'm walking around this place, invisible, when I hear voices.
"You let the Autobots save the human!" A voice scolds.
Megatron.
"She's likely dead," the human replies.
"She better be! That human is more annoying than the rest, and I should have killed her years ago."
Damn, Jamie is in danger. I doubt her parents are involved. They sent her here. Somehow she ended up in her cross-dimensional form, and Megatron got involved. I need to get back to N.E.S.T, but someone shocks me before leaving.
