Your eyes were baggy. You felt groggy. You looked like a zombie. You ran into people like bumper cars, almost causing yourself to fall over. You refused to sleep the last 3 days! You were sick. You felt as if your head was going to explode.
Everyone would ask if you were okay, but instead of telling them you needed help, you would say "Oh, yeah. Just having an off day. Haven't drank any coffee yet. Had to much of Gally's drink last night." and you would laugh it off.
Newt would notice you staying up, even after he fell asleep he felt you would go somewhere at night. And you would.
You would take a walk, exploring the places you went in your dreams. The rock. The forest. Even the back of the Safe Haven where the stable was. There wasn't one, or any beautiful black horses which made you feel sad, but at least you couldn't say the dreams were real or anything like that.
That night, after having the usual meal with everyone in the Safe Haven, Newt pulled you aside. "You haven't been taking your medicine. In fact, you haven't been sleeping at all. You look sick."
"I'm fine Newt." you say blankly. "That's not very convincing." Newt replied. "Also, where are you even going at night? You're making me worried."You look up at Newt. His eyes sparkling with worry. You sighed.
"I would revisit the places I've seen in my dreams. The rock I'd perform my weird rituals on. The woods where I'd climb trees. Even the imaginary stable in the back of the stable, which I wish was actually there, but also not because it would indicate that my dreams were real, then I'd have a panic attack, go crazy, then be tied down in chair and have crazy medications shoved down my throat!" You were talking at a thousand mile per hour speed.
Newt put his hands on your shoulders. "Y/N, slow down. No one is going to tie you to a chair and shove medications down your throat. But, I do need you to take your medications tonight. I want you to try sleeping tonight. If the dosage doesn't work, we'll see Dr.Pillsbury again. "Yeah, and the most she's going to do is tell me to take half a tablet more. I doubt that would work either." your eyes started to turn red.
"No,no,no,no, love, Don't cry." Newt pulled you into a tight embrace. "I just want all of this to be over." you sobbed. "It will, love. It will."
Small time skip--------------------------
That night when Newt was taking a shower in the showers Gally and a couple others built, you were sitting on your sleeping bag with the pills in your hand. A million thoughts swimming in your mind like rapid torpedos.
Then, without thinking or hesitation, you pour several pills out. "I don't need Pillsbury approval of anything."
Then you put 5-7 spills in your mouth and took a drink of water.After about 10 minutes of waiting for the pills to kick in, they did. And oh, did they kick in hard. You felt dizzy and nauseous. You closed your eyes before you hit the floor.
Small time skip--------------------
Newt came back from the showers and when he did, he saw you lying unconscious on the ground in a weird position. One of your legs straight while the other was tilted in the other direction at a 90 degree angle and your arms bent at your head.
"Y/N!" Newt said dropping by your side. He saw the pill bottle in your hand and noticed half of the bottle was gone. "Oh no. You shouldn't have." he muttered. His eyes started to sting as he felt hot fresh tears rise to the surface of his eyes.
"Help! HELP!" he screamed. He attracted the attention of half the Safe Haven. "Newt, what's wrong?" Thomas asked. Newt picked you up bridal style and exited the tent. "She's not-"
"-No. I don't think so. She's still breathing. But, not much." said Newt."We need to get her to Dr.Pillsbury." said Vince. "Newt, how did this happen?" Brenda asked as they started walking to the medical tent. "The medication. She took too many. About half the bottle."
Brenda gasped. "Don't you know how powerful those things are?"
"Not for her. She was taking one and a half tablets, but they weren't working. I guess she thought if she took more, something would've changed. But, I didn't think she would take half the bloody bottle."Once they made it to Dr.Pillsbury's tent, they laid her down on one of the cots. Dr. Pillsbury checked her heart. "Her breathing is stilling. We need to extract the medication from her bloodstream immediately."
"What happens if it doesn't work?" Vince asked."Then she dies..."
