Druggies were more than worthless and useless. They were also hurtful, but she didn't say so. Instead, Lilly looked back at him, shaking her head. "I have to have a hundred volunteer hours for a humanities credit at school. My friend already signed up for this place so here I am." She wondered if she could transfer over, though. She didn't think she could. Chiro wasn't even around to translate for. Shaking her head again, she looked out towards his window, crossing her arms over her chest.
 
He just looks at her, "If you don't like it here so much, why couldn't you just transfer to something else? Then I wouldn't be your problem. In fact then none of this would be your problem." He says to her. He couldn't believe that she had let her friend tell her where she should sign up. Especially if it wasn't a place that she really wanted to volunteer at. He then sighs once again and rolls over with his back to her. He was going to try to get some sleep again, plus he didn't want to talk to her anymore. He had thought maybe she was going to be a nice girl that could at least understand a little bit and have an open mind about things. But he guessed that he was wrong. But that was ok, he was used to dealing with people like that all his life anyways. He then pulls the blankets over his head. He was dileberately trying to ignore her. Why should he have to deal with such a person? It would interfere with his recovery as well as him getting help and that was something he didn't need. Maybe when the doctor came back in he could request a different person to help watch over him.
 
She rolled her eyes at his question and the frankly childish way he ignored her. Such a handsome face. It was too bad that under all that heroin he was still just a child. "Its my first day, how was I supposed to know I'd get stuck with a baby?" She answered coldly. "Anyway, I can't transfer now since all of the other slots are filled up. But its alright, I've babysat before AND done things I've hated before, the fact that this is just a combination won't stop me at all." She imagined doing something he hated would stop Bailey though, and she didn't count coming here as counting. He was probably the kind of guy who always took the easy road.
 
Bailey would have flipped her off, but he thought that would be crossing a line. So what if he was acting childish? To him she was acting childish too, not having an open point of view on things. Why don't she get hooked on a drug and then see how hard it is to quit? Then maybe she would change her tune. He finally decided to speak. "You're more childish than I am, at least I have an open mind about things. Unlike you. How about you get hooked on a drug and try to how hard it is to quit it. Maybe then you'll have your eyes wide open. I maybe acting some-what childish, but at least I'm not ignorant. Ignorance rules this world and it doesn't get you any where in life." He says to her. So what if he made her mad? He didn't care. If she looked down on him for doing drugs, did she look down on people who have cancer? A mental illness or disorder or diabietes? He probably thought so. Right now he wanted some air and he didn't care. He gets up, a little unbalanced and then leaves the room. Going out into a patio area, he leans against the railing and stares up into the sky. The cool air felt good against his warm skin. It felt good to breathe in the cool air, it helped a little bit. It was beginning to get dark now. Which he didn't mind, he was a night person anyways. There wasn't a cloud in the sky, so he could see the moon and the stars very easily when they came out later. He didn't care, he was going to stay out on the patio until she left.
 
Lilly laughed. She out-right, almost hysterically laughed at him and his sorry attempt to cut her down. He had no idea what he was talking about, and it was hilarious. He thought she had gotten no-where in life? Oh, that was rich. Did he realize where he had gotten himself in life? She laughed even harder as he got up and went onto the patio. She was probably supposed to follow him, make sure he didn't fall or something, but she didn't. Not at first, anyway. His words didn't hurt her or make her angry at all. He had no idea. No idea at all. He thought she was ignorant? Narrow-minded? She was anything but, and Bailey... Bailey was just a child throwing a temper tantrum.

After a few moments she managed to calm herself down, wiping tears out of her eyes. She had to be careful now, because whenever she thought of that she knew she was going to giggle. Getting up out of the chair, she put it back under the desk in the room. She was almost free to go now, so she might as well get ready to leave.

At this point, since she was probably supposed to work with him, he was thinking of leaving. He would rather try to get over the drug on his own, then to be around people like her. No, if I leave then she would win. But I don't want to put up with her. He thinks. And then he began to pace, thinking about what he should do. He always paced when he was debating with himself. On one hand, if he stayed then he could get clean and get the help he needed. On the other, he would be stuck here with her. He kept trying to list the pros and cons of staying and going. Like he would get his family back if he stayed and got clean, and if he left then he would lose them for sure. If he stayed then he would prove his family wrong and if he left he would just be proving his family right. And if he stayed he would actually accomplish something, ect. Then one of the workers saw him out there pacing, he looked like a crazy person. They ran and got the doctor, figuring that the withdrawals were making him crazy. When the doctor tried to touch him, he smacked their hand away. "The withdrawals aren't bothering me right now. I'm actually fine. I'm just pacing, thinking. Once I'm done, I'll go back to my room." He says. He noticed that the doctor was still standing there. He wished that he'd go away and leave him be. Now he simply ignored him, not caring any more that he was there and continued to pace. More thoughts about leaving and staying popped into his head as he continued to pace. As well as what his family last said to him. You're a worthless son. You are good for nothing, just a stupid drug addict that will never change. If you want to associate with us then stop doing drugs. You're wasting your life away. Think of your younger siblings, how do they see you? We're embarrassed to even be seen with you. And then he stops pacing. He had made up his mind... He was going to stay...
 
Lilly followed him outside but said nothing. When the doctor came by she raised her eyebrows. "He's not hurting anyone." She pointed out. She hadn't felt the need to go get a doctor since that much was true. As much as she didn't like Bailey, she didn't want him to get restrained. Especially when he didn't deserve it. "It's about time for me to get going though, so I guess you'll need to find someone else to watch him." Lilly informed the doctor. She needed to get back to the dorm so she could not strangle Chiro and do her homework. She didn't bother saying goodbye to Bailey. She just left, waiting for Chiro at the front and then walking back to the college with her. Neither of them had cars - Chiro was only here studying and she didn't have the money for it. So the two of them walked back, and Chiro complained about having to pick up garbage and as much as Lilly wanted to complain she didn't. If she did she'd have to explain further and she didn't feel like it. Eventually she just changed the topic when she got sick of Chiro complaining. They had to go back tomorrow, but not until a little later after lunch. She needed SOME time to do homework, after all.
 
Bailey was glad that she was leaving. He knew that he would probably see her tomorrow, which he was dreading. He decided to just go back to his room, once the doctor was reasured that he was going to hurt himself or any one else for that matter. He flops down on the bed and looks up at the ceiling. Tomorrow, he would ask her, what's her deal on why she that view of drug addicts, or why she didn't like them and what have they done to her? In fact what did he do to her? He wondered. He had just met her really. Shouldn't it tell her something, if he was willing to get clean as well as help? He just rolls his eyes and rolls over, trying not to think or wonder about things. Right now what he needed was support from people and so far he wasn't getting any. But that was Ok, he was used to giving himself support. He lets out a sigh once again and closes his eyes. He guessed that his body really needed sleep right now. So he drifts off to sleep again.
 
When Lilly woke up the next day, she already wished for her morning to be as long as possible. She always got up early, and she rarely wasted her time. She started right in on her homework, working on a paper on ethics before moving on to her calculus homework. She was taking several math classes for her major, and while she didn't find any of them particularly hard they also weren't exactly fun. So she often times worked on math homework and some other homework so she wouldn't get too bored.

After a while though, it was time for lunch which she and Chiro got at the school cafe. Afterwards they walked to the clinic together. Lilly was hoping to get to work the reception desk again, but apparently one of the doctors was under the impression that she and Bailey had gotten along well, and most patients were assigned 'support'. Lilly sighed and shook her head, heading off to Bailey's room. Great. She supposed the rest of her time would be with this guy if he stayed here. This sucked, but she knocked on Bailey's door since it was closed and waited.
 
Bailey wasn't in his room, so there was no answer. One of the workers walked by and saw her. "Bailey isn't in there, right now he is doing some exorcise in the gym. Bailey was running on a treadmill, he used to run every day- even though he had been doing the drug of choice. He had ear buds in and he was running a good pace on the treadmill. He found running very useful and therapeutic. Because it always got his mind off of things and relieved him of stress too. He had been running for 30 minutes. One of the workers was watching him, to make sure that everything was going the way it was supposed to. He then spots Lilly, but he simply ignores here and continues to run. A worker comes up to her, "He has been on the treadmill for a half hour, when ever he gets done, please take escort him to his room, so he can shower and then on the what ever else he schedule says." He says.
 
Lilly looked over at the person that let her know where Bailey was. She smiled politely and nodded. "Thanks." She said, going off to the gym. She spotted him pretty easily and leaned herself against the wall. She had a binder in one hand but she didn't look at it yet. Working standing up would be too much of a hassle, so she just watched Bailey instead. The person looking after him before she got there filled her in on the situation at hand and she nodded. "Alright." She agreed. She could do that. For now she just stood around and waited.

Bailey ran for a few more minuets and then he stopped the treadmill. He was hardly panting and he stood there. "Well I guess that's enough exorcise for one day." He says more to himself than anyone else really. And he didn't like to be followed around like some little kid, he could still do this all his own. He wasn't weak and helpless or stupid. So without saying anything to her at all, he just starts walking away. Not caring if she followed him or not, he was just going to his room after all. He finally gets to his room, he grabs some clothing out of a dresser and then goes and takes a shower. He didn't screw around, he got cleaned up. But he stayed in the shower, letting the luke warm water run over him. He was doing this for two reasons, 1. because it felt good and 2. just to annoy her. And he didn't care how much she called for him, he wouldn't get out of the shower. He would take his good ol time doing so. He then gets out of the shower and slowly dries himself off. And then once he's dressed, he goes and flops on his bed. Right now it would be free time for him, and with all the running it made him rather tired. He wanted to take a nap, which sounded wonderful right now. So he closed his eyes, trying to go to sleep.
 
"Hello again." Lilly said to Bailey once he was done running. She didn't care that he ignored her. She followed him back to his room, and when he went into the shower she sat down at his desk. She didn't care what so ever how long he stayed in the shower. It gave her time to do her homework, which was what she wanted to do anyway. When he came out of the shower she glanced up at him. "Hope you dont mind that I'm using your desk." She said as Bailey went to his bed to take a nap.
 
(I'm so sorry had computer issues and writers block)

Bailey opens one eye and looks at her, "It's fine." Is all he finally says to her and rolls over with his back facing her. He figured since she was probably doing home work, that she was going to be quiet and he wouldn't be iinterrupted with his nap. He just laid there and eventually fell asleep. He was asleep for a good hour or so. He wakes up and looks at the clock. He simply groans and sits up, stretching some. He still felt tired, but that was going to happen. And he didn't feel like doing much, he was hoping and praying that she wouldn't make him do anything at all. He had spells right now where he could have bursts of energy, but that seemed to be zapped away now. He felt weak as a kitten and helpless like one too. He finally looks at her to see that she was still sitting at the desk. "Do I have to do anything else? I'm tired and don't have the energy to do anything now. So please don't make me do anything." He says. He could barely even raise his head now. He lets out another groan and flops his head back down, he closes his eyes with a sigh.
