Miss Woods saw that and rushed into the room to get a cup of water for me. Theo took it from her and fed m e a few mouthfuls of it. Then, he carried me up from the floor.
When I felt my body touch the bed, I struggled to get u p once more.
"Just lay down, be good." Theo's big palms rested on m y eyes. "You just took sleeping pills, so you don't have t o worry about not being able to sleep."
What I did not know was that the pills I took were not sleeping pills but antidepressants.
It was just that after an outburst, one would feel tired after calming down. Hence, I quickly fell asleep after that.
When I was half-awake, I vaguely saw Mason.
Theo was standing beside him, their mouths opening and shutting as though they were talking.
I wanted to hear what they were saying, but no matter how hard I tried, I could not seem to.
Mason glanced at me, turned back around, and said," When she has her episodes, she finds her surroundings really noisy. Any noise from anyone or anything could trigger her to have an emotional
breakdown. She’ll only feel safe when she’s alone in a quiet environment, which means that no one can give her that same sense of security. She can't go on like this. She needs to be hospitalized and given a strict treatment plan. You've seen how erratic she gets when she has her episodes, and she's prone to hurting herself. If she gets any worse, she could kill herself at any time."
Theo closed his eyes. "I understand."
Although I could not hear clearly what he was saying, I could tell that his voice was hoarse.
He must be exhausted after my episode just now. I did not want it to happen. I had really tried, but I... I did not want this as well.
I felt my tears rolling down my face, and Theo wiped them away gently. Then, I lost consciousness once more.
When I woke up again, it was still dark out, so I did not think I slept for a long time.
