When Minnie came up and heard the noise, she said, "I have the pills. Arianna, don't worry, I'll go get them!"
Hendrix pulled a long face and raised his eyebrows as a sign for Minnie to stop what she was doing. "She will only become dependent on it. You..."
"Hendrix, shut up!" I was going crazy. I looked at Minnie pleadingly, "Minnie, get me my medicine!"
Minnie looked at Hendrix, waiting for his approval.
I started getting crankier. I raised my voice as I said, "Hendrix, since you're so controlling, why did you bring me back? Are you happy seeing me suffer?"
Hendrix frowned and held me in his arms to comfort me. "I'm not trying to control you. It's just not healthy to take too many sleeping pills. You'll get addicted to them!"
"Shut up!" I yelled, "If you won't let me sleep, send me to Irvin's then. Don't torture me here."
"Arianna!" He was so furious that his eyes turned red. Seeing how stubborn and emotionally unstable I was, he turned to Minnie and said, "Get the pills!"
Minnie scurried out of the bedroom and soon came back with the sleeping pills.
She handed me a pill, which was more than enough for me. I grabbed it, put it into my mouth and swallowed. Then, I pushed Hendrix out of the way and went back to bed.
Hendrix seemed to have realized that something was wrong with me. When he saw that I was lying in bed, he looked at Minnie and whispered, "Call Josiah and ask him to come over."
Minnie nodded her head and left the room.
After taking the pill, I calmed down and fell asleep soon after.
However, even those under the medicinal influence would still be able to sense movements.
When Josiah arrived, I immediately sense that he was nearby. I could hear his conversation with Hendrix.
