Sorry I took so long to upload and this is very short but let me know what you think
Conrad opened his eyes seeing bright lights above him as he heard the familiar sound of heart monitors and other hospital machinery, the muffled voices of doctors yelling at nurses filling his head leaving him unable to drift back into unconsciousness. He tried to sit up, the first thought that came to mind was Nic, was she alright? Was there some sort of accident? He couldn't remember. As he tried to move an unbearable pain ripped through his body. A nurse gently pushed him back down. "It's alright, just try to stay still"
It seemed her words didn't quite reach him as he began to struggle more. He needed to get to Nic, they hadn't expected him to be that strong considering the state he was in so he easily managed to get up. Adrenaline must have kicked in because the pain started to ease, he started running as fast as he could. Doctors and nurses quickly ran after him, he made it to the ER before one of the doctors managed to catch up and get him to the floor. "I need help over here! I have a patient experiencing psychosis!"
"Let me go!" Conrad yelled as he continued to try and get away, it was clear his mind was somewhere else, he punched the guy as hard as he could manage before making a run for it again.
When they did manage to catch him and sedate him the CEO of Atlanta general decided they would send him to Chastain, it's what they often did with patients they didn't want to deal with. Conrad didn't have his ID with him and they just assumed he was uninsured, not to mention no one seemed to be looking for him which didn't help his case.
They left him semi conscious and alone just 5 minutes from Chastain so of course when a woman found him and called 911 they had an ambulance there within seconds to take him to the emergency room. The sedative started wearing off but he was still out of it. He was just confused and scared, anyone would freak out in those circumstances. He tried to get away again only this time he was restrained so he couldn't get away. The paramedics burst through the doors. They explained how he was found on the side of the road and that he showed signs of psychosis. Nic noticed them instantly and quickly got up from the bed, tossing her oxygen mask aside and rushing over.
The paramedic suggested sedating him but Nic stopped anyone from doing anything. She undid the restraints and helped him sit up carefully. "Hey... It's okay. You're safe now" she gently ran her fingers through his hair which seemed to calm him slightly.
"What's happening to me?'
Nic felt like she might cry when he asked that because she couldn't give him an answer, she just hugged him gently. "I don't know but we'll figure it out together. I promise"
