You woke up somewhere different this time…A dimly lit motel room, the sounds of a gentle thunderstorm outside brought you back to the present. Slowly over time, you could hear the familiar voices of Tim and Brian talking not too far from you.

Almost as soon as you woke up, a harsh and strenuous coughing fit hit you. It caused you to curl in on yourself as the stinging sensation of tears pricked the edges of your eyes. A horrible ringing sound filled her head as she winced.

Instantly the two men noticed. Quickly Tim grabbed his painkillers off the bedside nightstand and sat next to you, gently rubbing your back while Brian grabbed a bottle of water.

Tim: “Here, kid…” Tim said, holding out two ibuprofen pills for you.
