Alex woke up in the morning by another nurse coming in the door, saying "Checks." She turned and smiled at her before getting up and getting dressed. She walked out into the living space where everyone was and she sat on the sofa by the window with her journal and started writing in it. She forgot everything around her as she kept writing and writing until a nurse came around and gave out tablets. She walked to Lisa who took them then as the nurse walked away she looked at Alex, had the tablets on her tongue and took them out of her mouth and in her pocket. She hadn't actually took them.

As the nurse came to Alex she looked at her expectedly, "Yes?"

"Your tablets, dear." She told her in her thick Irish accent.

"What are they?"

"Laxatives." She picked them up and gave them to her but she put up her hand,

"I don't need them."

"I'm sorry dear, but you'll have to take them. You can take it up with Dr. Gardez."

Alex nodded and put them in her mouth, took some water, made her face scrunch, disgusted, and showed the nurse her mouth. The nurse nodded in satisfaction that she had taken them but as soon as she walked away Alex took them out her mouth, looking at Lisa and put them in her pocket.

Lisa smiled, playing with a dog puppet and spoke in a quiet high pitched voice, "No, she didn't take them."

Alex smiled and looked at her journal before hearing a girl shout for something. The nurse who was just at Alex tried to calm her down, "I can't help you, dear."

The girl spotted Val and ran up to her, almost slipping, "Val, they won't give me the laxatives. Please!"

"I'm sorry, Daisy. Talk to Dr. Gardez."

Daisy screamed and stormed to her room, glaring at Alex and slammed the door. As all the nurses cleared away she got up, putting the journal in her room before going to Daisy's room door and knocked.

"Go away!" She called, frustrated.

"I-I have something you want." Alex told her. As she heard Daisy sigh she looked to see if anyone saw her.

"Come in."

She took the chance and opened the door a little bit and slipped through and closed the door. Alex smiled at her and looked around the room and sat on the chair, fixing Daisy's little figurines on the drawers.

It was quiet for a bit before Alex stood up, "You have something I want?" Daisy asked and she nodded. "What could that possibly be?"

Before she got the chance to talk the door swung open and closed as Lisa came in, "Wow, finally letting someone in your room, Day?"

"Get out of my room, Lisa!"

"Alright then," Lisa smirked and looked at the new girl, "Come on, Alex." She nodded and walked to the door but Daisy told them to wait.

"What do you have that I want?"

Alex put her hand in her pocket and pulled out the pink laxatives. Daisy smiled and went to take them from her but Lisa pulled on Alex's wrist.

"Lets do a swap." She said. "I know you don't take the valium. So, you give me them and Alex will give you the laxatives."

Daisy thought about it but never answered.

"Alright." Lisa said and went to walk out.

"Fine, you ass!" Daisy got her teddy, pulling its head off and put the valium on the bed. Lisa smiled and motioned

Alex to put the laxatives on the bed. Which she did and the two of them took their pills.

"What the hell is that smell, Dais?" Lisa grinned and got down on the floor, looking down under the bed. "Ugh." She motioned Alex to look down and she did and scrunched her face up,

"What the-" Alex got up, "Why do you have these chickens under your bed, Daisy? Why don't you just get rid of them or eat in the cafeteria?"

Daisy looked at her, "What do you prefer? Going to the bathroom alone or with Val watching?"

"Alone."

"Exactly. Me eating infront of other girls is like going to the bathroom all at once."

"That is messed up, Daisy!" Lisa snorted.

"For your information, I'm saving the chickens because as soon as I have 14, I'm getting out of this place."

Alex nodded and pulled Lisa out of the room before she could say anything else. We walked to the living area where Lisa started playing cards with Kristen and the girl who was in the hospital gown when Alex first went in. She learned her name was Janet and she had ate something to get her clothes back but ended up throwing it up. Alex looked out the window for a bit then she heard Lisa talking in a Southern accent,

"Razors pain you, rivers are damp, acid stains you. Drugs cause cramps, guns aren't lawful, nooses give. Gas smells awful, ya might as well live."

Alex grinned at that and looked at her as Lisa winked back at her. That was when she looked up and saw Charlie.

She smiled and ran to him, "Dad!"

"Hey, sweetheart. How are you doing?" He asked.

"Fine. Great actually. How are you, mom and Bella?"

He was about to answer before Val cut in, "You know, Alex. You have ground privileges, why don't you go out and get a cup of coffee from the café?"

The father and daughter nodded and she got her jacket before leaving with him. He stayed for a bit longer then had to go as Alex went back up to her room and saw Lisa. "Who was that?"

"My dad." She smiled.

"Oh." She did too, "I don't have much family. Only my brother but he doesn't talk to me... Hey, the girls and I are having our monthly hang out, you should come. Just follow Kristen. Alright?" She went to walk away, "Oh, don't take the sleeping tablets. You might not get up." She winked and walked away.
