“Alright,” Jason said, looking at Sophie. He hated this. She shouldn’t have to end up in a hospital because of her damned father. He was sure he’d been responsible. “Do you want me to stay?”

Mackenzie heard what he said and she bit her lip. ”Maybe not in the room but maybe just in the hallway where she can’t see you in case she becomes combative. I have Lizzie I need to think about…” Mack said softly. The last thing she wanted was for Lizzie to get hurt

“Alright, I’ll be nearby. Call me if you need anything.” he said then cast one last glance at Sophie before walking out of the room.
More than ever he wanted to kill her father, but she’d made her thoughts on that very clear in the past. Perhaps he could just scare the man? It might be amusing to see the monster who thought he was so tough piss himself in fear. He couldn’t do that either, though. If he did Sophie might end up being the one paying for it. So instead he got a cup of coffee from a nearby vending machine and say outside her room.

About 45 minutes later, Sophie woke up. Her throat felt dry and she was sore all over. She groaned as she opened her eyes then looked around the hospital room. She was immediately hit by her normal instincts to leave, but as she tried to stretch she winced in pain and decided against it. “Bluebell?” she asked. “What happened? Why am I here?” Her memory was a bit fuzzy.

Mackenzie sat on the chair as Jason left and she rubbed Lizzie's back. Eventually the little girl woke up and was hungry. She shifted her so she could feed her. As she was feeding Lizzie, Sophie woke up. She heard Sophie speak and she bit her lip trying really hard to be polite and not hostile. "You went insane Sophie..." Mack whispered quietly. "You haven't slept in days for more than 4 hours at a time, you bought a dog, you spent almost two thousand dollars at the mall on stuff that we didn't really need. You don't have a care for anything or anyone. You died your hair. You went to an appointment and then I got a call saying you were in the hospital."

Sophie pinched her eyes shut. Mackenzie was talking a lot and Sophie was struggling to pay attention to most of it. “Why won’t you just let me have my damn dog?” she muttered. She needed to remember what had gotten here, but things were too much of a blur. She’d seen her father recently but had that been today? She’d been trying to piss him off it’s not like she hadn’t expected to see him. “Well, if they amputated my leg or I was at risk of a heart attack or something you would have led with that. Let’s go home, baby.” She definitely didn’t want to be here. She recognised the room. It was the same hospital they’d taken her after they attempted to kill herself, meaning the psychiatrist that had talked to her then would be around somewhere. He’d think she was getting into fights or something self destructive like that.

Mackenzie heard what she muttered. "Because Sophie..." Mack said with slight anger in her voice but she stopped herself, pinching her lips together. SHe heard what she said about going home and she shook her head. "You need help Sophie. You need to get help and it's the help that I can't give you. You need a professional."

Sophie shook her head. “I don’t need help and I’m tired of having this conversation. I’m fine. I’m great. I’m a bit sore right now but mentally I’m just really happy. Why does that have to be a problem?” It wasn’t exactly true, of course. She spent half her time terrified of things she wasn’t even sure were real and another portion of her time angry at tiny little things she shouldn’t care about, but that didn’t really matter. She was happier than she’d been in a long time. She hated that Mackenzie couldn’t let her have that.

"Because you're not great Sophie. You've gone from one thing to another. You haven't slept for more than four hours. You're just... you're struggling," Mack said raising her voice as she shifted Lizzie to her other breast.

Sophie shook her head. “No,” she snapped, “I’m not struggling. I don’t get why you can’t understand that. Mackenzie, I’m fine. I don’t need the extra sleep, I’m not tired. And I don’t like hospitals, I don’t want to be here.”

Mackenzie heard her snap which caused Lizzie to pull away and whine. "You are struggling. You have no care in the world for anything Sophia! You don't take my needs or what things will do to me into consideration!" Her voice raising as she spoke which caused Lizzie to cry. She glanced at the door wondering if Jason was outside. Sophie wasn't going to go willingly and that much she could tell already.

Sophie rolled her eyes. She didn’t think she was going to get Mackenzie to understand and there were more important things going on. “What did the doctor say? How long do you think they’ll want to keep me here?” she asked.

Mackenzie looked at Sophie and she lightly bounced Lizzie in her arms. "You have internal bleeding and bruising. You also are malnourished so I don't know how long they will want you here," Mack muttered.

Sophie considered what Mackenzie listed off. Malnourished… when was the last time she’d eaten? She couldn’t really remember. It didn’t matter though, she could just have a burger or something and she’d be fine. “Alright.” she said. “They don’t need me to stay here then. I can get discharged now. Or whenever a doctor or nurse comes by at least.”

"I think they're going to want to keep you overnight at least for observation..." Mack said to her softly. "So I don't think you're going anywhere any time soon."

Sophie shook her head. “It doesn’t really matter what they want. I’ll sign whatever papers they want, but they can’t keep me here. That would be kidnapping.” she replied.
