A tear rolls over her cheeks.
"where did she get the bunny?"
"I bought it for her, she looked alone"

"When a friend needs me I will be there for her, and you will never be a burden to me"
Florence smiles

"Huh?" Sarah says while she opens her eyes
"Oh honey your awake" Florence says
"I'll get the doctor" Scarlett says

"But I don't know whats going on!, what happened, where am I, why arnt I in England. WAIT NO YOU CANT BE HERE YOU LEFT ME, YOU LEFT ME ALONE YOU WENT TO AMERICA  YOU LEFT ME!"

"I need an adult here." He says
Scarlett stays and looks at sarah
The doctor is shining al types of light in her eyes and asks her all type of questions.
"I DONT KNOW, GET AWAY FROM ME I DONT KNOW YOU!"
The doctor inserts some calming serum in sarahs  blood and she start to relax
Sarah answers all type of questions correctly and the doctor leaves
"Il come back later to do some more tests" the doctor says and Scarlett nods
"I'm not supposed to know you right?" Sarah asks
Scarlett smiles.
"No honey don't worry, your didn't forget, I'm a friend of Florence I stayed with her while you Where asleep" "asleep? What happened?" "You had a seizure and you've been unconscious for about 1,5 days" "poor flo" Sarah says as her eyes widen when she realized she just screamed in Florence's face. "What?

"Hey" she says "hey" Florence responds
"She has calmed down, she's really sorry about what she said to you" Florence looks down "flo she didn't mean it" "no I know but she's right tho, I knew about her mental health and I left her when she needed me" "it was in the past flo, the best thing you can do is make it up to her" "your right" "ofcourse I am" Scarlett says while she winks  and Florence rolls her eyes.

This is Florence walking around the hospital with Sarah's new huge teddy and Scarlett is walking behind her with Sarah's "get better soon" balloons.
They walk into Sarah's room and Florence hardly fits trough the door with the teddy.
Sarah giggles and makes grappy hands and Florence gives her the teddy.

"It's not the most convenient present but I LOVE IT!" Sarah' says.
"How is my bestie feeling?"
"I'm great thanks" Scarlett says
"I ment the sick one?" Florence replies and everyone giggles
"I'm okay, I have a headache and I'm a bit dizzy. I'm also quite confused"

With that the doctor comes in.
"Oh hello teddy bear" Sarah giggles at the doctors words
"I'm going to do some tests to see the reason of your seizure okay?"
Shara nods
"So how are you feeling?"
" I feel.. I-I"
Sarah stops talking and turns white, her eyes roll at the back of her head and she almost passed out. But she blinks and returns back to herself
"Wow, you okay?" The doctor questions
Sarah slowly nods
"Did you just experience any stress or feel anxiety?"
She nods again
"I-I don't like new people"
"Wel despite your fear it took a positive turn for me, are you tired often or do you pass out. Do your legs ever just cave in?"
She nods
" okay and when do you experience these things"
Sarah shrugs her shoulder
"In the morning or at night?"
"Night"
The doctor turns to Florence
"Does she get fevers often?"
"Yeah like almost every night"
"I think your sister has something called
Psychosomatic Illness, it's a illness that is caused because of to much stress or anxiety unfortunately there is no cure and you just have to take care of her when another episode kicks in"
"So she just had seizures? Or anything else"  Florence asks
"Wel yes but episodes like these are formed in a lot of ways, it can make you very tired or get you bloody noses randomly. It  can cause fevers and passing out and sometimes vomiting, you can get really dizzy and weak. Sometimes you feel it coming and sometimes it just kicks in. I can get her some medication for the stress that wil help her get her energy back but for the biggest part she just has to watch herself."
"Okay thank you" Florence says and with that the doctor leaves
Florence looks at her sister
"You okay?"
"Am i okay? I'm great!"
"What?"
" you don't understand do you?, everything makes sense now. I mean it sucks but atleast I know where it's coming from"
Florence strokes Sarah's head
"I'm proud of you"
You smile
"Thank you for taking care of my sister when I couldn't" Sarah says to Scarlett
"Your welcome honey, I hope your get better soon"

The doctor comes in again with medication and some information about everything
"She is free to go! She wil be weak for a few days but she'll be okay!"
"Okay thank you doctor" Florence says
"Take care kiddo"
"You to!" Sarah says and the doctor smiles

Florence helps sarah stand and walk and they walk out of the hospital. They say goodbye to Scarlett and thank her again and they get home. They just watch tv for the rest of the night in Sarah's bed and they both fall asleep in eachother arms.
