Bridgett's grin slipped when she noticed the somber looks on their faces. "What is it? What's wrong?" She asked as she came to sit next to them on the bed. She remembered Allison, "And this is Allison, by the way. Allison, this is Kam and Jay."
"I… I-I…" Jay wasn't entirely sure how to put it into words that Kamryn was his sister, although it sounded so simple in his head. He ran his fingers over the IV, his heart racing.. This was evident to the others as well, considering he had a heart monitor.
(@FireSky perhaps you should explain?)
Bridgett put an arm around Jay in a side hug, attempting to comfort him. "It's alright. You can tell me. Or, Kam?" She looked up at Kam for a response.
(Idk if they're on)
I have a sister… Jay leaned against Bridgett, his heart rate erratic. Sometimes it was incredibly quick and other times too slow, and it jumped between the two quickly and frequently.
(Wonder if Bridgett remembers that Jay likes his hair messed with?)
(Terrible. Just terrible.)
Bridgett was concerned about Jay's insane heart rate. She pulled him a bit closer and began stroking his hair with her other hand. "It's alright, you're okay…"
(Ah, we were thinking similarly)
(Of course)
Jay definitely seemed to relax at this, at least physically. His heart rate slowed back to normal and he closed his eyes, leaning his head on Bridgett's shoulder.
(Bridgett's just like aww, my precious boy. She's also not gonna tell him yet about the social security stuff yet 'cause he might have a heart attack)
"You can tell me when you're ready, okay? For now, just calm down." Bridgett said softly.
(Yeah pretty much)
Jay seemed to be drifting off a bit. It was late, and he was exhausted. The drowsiness side effect of his pain meds didn't help his case either. After a minute or two, he fell asleep. The others likely figured this out first by his evened out breathing and slow heart rate. It wasn't dangerously slow like earlier, but a normal resting heart rate.

Allison was looking at the kid. Jay was his name. "How awful. One should never fall so low, that hurting a child is above them." she said quietly. She felt her pockets for something. The chocolate bar she had with her the night that Marcus… relocated her. It was the only thing from home she still had left.
"This chocolate is from the Helaman company back home. Its the best stuff on the planet, dare I say galaxy, and its full of minerals to balance out the sugar at no expense to flavor… Ugh I sound like an advertisement. Point is, I'm leaving this with him. He could use something sweet in his life." she said before walking to the bedpan and placing the chocolate bar on the pan before walking over to the monitor to read his stats.
(JESUS CHRIST YOU GUYS DID A LOT!!)
(YEET PLZ JOIN US you can pretend you've been there all along I guess? Or just show up?)
(ill show up. can you catch me up? it'd take a while for me to read it all.)
(Yo, I'm alive again, sry. My computer freaked on me)
(WOAH WAIT THE PARENTS SHOWED UP AND I MISSED IT?! GODDAMN IT!!)
(Drew's gonna come running in.)
(WOAH WAIT THE PARENTS SHOWED UP AND I MISSED IT?! GODDAMN IT!!)
(You and me both. I'd have murdered them with a syringe)
(So, Jay went home, got badly beat up by his parents, ran back to the library, stabilized by Drew who idk whether you know or not, Jay started coughing up blood, they brought him to the hospital, his parents had to come for paperwork, that was a hot mess, his parents got arrested, Kam is Jay's long lost sister, something else that's probably not important, and Jay is now asleep bc he likes his hair being messed with apparently)
(Everyone but you is at the hospital 'cause Jay's lung was punctured, Bridgett did a roadside surgery, everyone got to the hospital, parents were arrested, Bridgett has news of the new guardian of Jay, and Allison's a new girl who's now our friend is basically it. Another thing, we've established a new rule: please no swearing, if you do swear, it'd be appreciated if you censored it)
