A/N: Hey guys sorry for the first chapter as it may seemed a bit rushed and confusing but I decided to try a different writing format. Here's the second chapter, enjoy!


Sybil and Tom

Sybil: It should be me in there.

Tom: I don't like you talking like that.

Sybil: But it's true ain't it. I'm some kind of freak who ruins people's lives.

Tom: You are not a freak Sybil. You mean everything to me.

Sybil: My life sucks right now and I barley have any friends. People hate me.

Tom : Whenever I was feeling down your mother used to say to me "You are enough. You are so enough, it's unbelievable how enough you are." (-Sierra Boggess)

Sybil: I wish I could of met her.

Tom: She was a very independent woman just like you. You just have to ignore people Sybil. You may not realize it but they are going through the same troubles as you.

George: (George approaches Sybil and Tom.) Hey Sybil.

Sybil: What are you doing here?

George: I came to make sure you're okay.

Sybil: Well I am so you can go now.

Tom: Sybil be nice. What do you got there George? (Tom points to the flowers poking behind his back.)

George: Oh right, these are for you. (George hands the flowers over to Sybil but Sybil refuses to take them.)

Sybil: Thanks but I'm not the one who needs them.

George: What are you going on about?

Sybil: My neighbor is the one sitting in a hospital bed not me.

George: Oh, well do you want me to give these to him?

Tom: I'll give them to him George.

George: Okay…well I best be going then.

Sybil: Bye. (George hands the flowers to Tom his hands shaking all the while Sybil is staring at the ground. George does his best to exit the hospital without crying on the way out.)

Tom: Sybil if you want people to be nice to you you have to be nice as well.

Sybil: But I don't like him.

Tom: It doesn't matter. Only good deeds will bring about good things in life.

Doctor: Pardon the intrusion but I thought you'd like to know that the surgery was a success.

Tom: That's great news. Thank you.

Doctor: There is some bad news however. The swelling and bruising may have subsided but the MRI scan shows that the part of the brain that was damaged during the accident affects speech and cognitive thought.


Thomas and the doctor

Doctor: It's good to see you'e awake. Now I need you to do a couple things for me. (Thomas stares blankly at the doctor but seems to register what he's saying.) Okay I need you to follow my finger with your eyes. (Thomas does as he's told.) Good. There's one more thing I'd like you to do for me. I want you to try to touch your nose with your right index finger. (Thomas looks at his hand but can't seem to comprehend which finger is which. He tries to bring his hand toward his face but places it back down on the sheets. ) That's alright just rest for a minute while I ask you some questions. Can you tell me your name?

Thomas: Thom…Thomas.

Doctor: Good, now can you tell me your address?

Thomas: Uh…(Thomas let's out a sigh.)

Doctor: It's alright Thomas.

Thomas: What's…(Thomas tries to finish his thought but the words won't come out.)

Doctor: Here try writing it down. (the doctor hands him a paper attached to a clip board and a pen. Thomas takes the pen while the doctor holds the clipboard.) Just take your time. (Thomas tries to write the word happened but only manages to write happ.) What's happened? (Thomas nods his head.) You were in a car accident. The impact managed to damage your brain. Most of swelling and bruising has gone down which is good but the most damaged part of your brain affects speech and cognitive thought. You've got a long road ahead of you Thomas but you'll get through this.


Sybil, Tom and Thomas

a month later

Sybil: That's it you're doing great. (Thomas is making his way across the hall with Sybil and Tom on each of his sides.) Just keep going, try not to think much about it.

Thomas: tyrant.

Tom: Hey be nice.

Thomas: I am.

Tom: Ok just a little further. That's good now turn left so we can make our way back. (Thomas just stands there and turns his head to the left to look at Tom.)

Sybil: Thomas?

Tom: Yeah that's left. That's the way come on. (Tom places his hand on Thomas's shoulder and helps him make his way back while Sybil remains in her spot.)
