"DARE I ASK how your family therapy session went today?" Tori asked, later on that day, sarcasm dripping off each syllable she says and a smirk touching on her lips. I knew she was enjoying my pain so I just roll my eyes and shove her a little but the smirk doesn't waver from her face
"It went how it usually went" I tell her with a shrug "How about yours?"
Her face darkened considerably any traces that she had been joking had suddenly been erased in what felt like a split second, I had blinked and she was then looking at me with a stormy expression and she looked like she could throttle me if I asked another seemingly stupid question and I took a step back knowing I didn't want to be near her if she decided to explode but eventually she just clenched her jaw and grit out a "Fine"
"Hey I didn't mean to hit a nerve, I'm sorry alright" I tell her softly
"Well you did because you're an asshole" She hisses suddenly very angry at me as she pushes me in the chest and I stumble backwards because even though I was slightly taller than her and obviously stronger I didn't see the hit coming but the next time she tried to hit me I was prepared and caught her wrists gently pinning them to her side
"Hey I apologised" I cried, outraged "You need to cool off"
"You never think of anyone but yourself!" She screams as she tries to get out my grasp but I only tighten my hold not wanting her to hurt herself or me but she wasn't thinking clearly so she obviously couldn't see what I was trying to stop her from doing as she continued to thrash in my hold as if she was a wild animal "Let go of me you asshole, let go!"
"No. You. Need. To. Calm. Down" I punctuate each word
It's just my luck that a nurse then happens to walk down the corridor carrying sheets and bed pans in what looks like those big laundry baskets and when she sees Tori thrashing about and me pinning her down, she instantly abandoned what she was doing, sheets flying out of her arms and onto the floor as she ran over to us
She shouts waving a hand at us "Hey, what's going on here?"
"He's being an asshole" Tori seethes finally stopping thrashing
The nurse gave her a pointed look obviously warning her against using such language but Tori just rolls her eyes obviously not bothered and she frowned at the coffee and milked skinned girl before looking at me and realised I was still pinning her down causing her to take my hands and gently pry me off Tori before wedging herself in between us
"Now does anyone want to tell me what's going on before I call security and you both get in trouble" She demands her face a picture of absolute fury as her heavy gaze slides back and forth between Tori and I
"She's a demon!" I exclaimed, words laced with venom
The brunette's face contorts in anger and she full on looks ready to attack me at any second and I quickly try to duck as she swings at my head, trying to break free of the nurses grip but the nurse had a strong grip and had started to call for security
"You're a fucking psycho yourself!" Tori shouted back, her eyes twin daggers looking for the kill "So I don't know why the hell you're calling me a demon, don't forget Elliot Walker I know things that you wouldn't even dare to tell your therapist"
The nurse was finally able to get her voice heard over Tori's shouts "Miss Johnson I need you to calm down and walk away and come with me or I will have to sedate you so you don't harm you, me or Mr Walker here"
At that moment she lashed out one final time, trying to make a grab at me but I backed myself up against the wall as the nurse quickly injected a needle into her neck. It took a minute or two but eventually Tori went limp in the nurses arm and the nurse grunted struggling to keep up right under the added weight
Quickly running over to help, I take some of Tori's weight and the nurse flashes me a grateful smile and we drag her weight down the corridor and half way down another nurse scrambled to our rescue, his face lighting up in panic as he rushed over to me and took Tori under her armpit and rested her arm over his shoulder as the nurses continued to walk down the corridor -- probably to the cool down room for a few hours
I waited, dawdling around in the corridor that I had almost got my head chopped off by an angry girl, I had no idea why she got so angry it was like a light switch had been switched and suddenly she was on the defensive and was gunning for my head. I literally had no idea what to do
The nurse came back a disgruntled look on her face and a panicked look on her eyes as if she was going to burst into tears but she straightened out and tried to mask her emotions "Elliot Walker are you okay?"
"I guess" I shrugged "I really don't know what happened to her"
"She had forgotten to take her meds this morning, she had told us that when we had finally gotten her to stop hurting herself and calmed down enough to tell us what had happened, she says that it was mostly her fault and that you had tried to get her to stop and calm down but she didn't really listen to you. I just wanted to check whether that's what you think happened?" The nurse explains, but I barely hear anything after she said that Tori was on medication
She had never mention anything about it before so I asked "Meds? What do you mean?"
The nurse sighs "Miss Johnson is on medication for a bipolar disorder, I thought she had told you"
