At some point, she must have fallen asleep. The soft mumbling of people in the room woke her up. She opened her eyes slowly, pissed someone had taken the liberty to draw the curtains. As her eyes adjusted to the light, she noticed Jayden talking to the doctor.
"Rise and shine sleeping beauty," Jayden brightly said as he noticed me. He came closer to her side.
"I heard you're being discharged today." He added with a smile.
"yessss, I am." She immediately felt livelier. She didn't care about what was waiting for her out there anymore. She knew she was capable of handling whatever would be thrown at her.
"great." He ruffled her hair playfully. "I won't be able to come back with you, unfortunately…" he trailed off and glanced at the doctor. The doctor took this as a cue and excused himself.
"My parents want to retire early. They want to enjoy the 'fruits of their labor' in their words. That's why I was so hell-bent on this whole taking over the thing."
