It was difficult to sleep without the medication inducing her into it, but after a while it became easier, especially when the exhaustion took over.
Someone was shaking her away. Just as consciousness arrived and sleepy he screwed out of her mind, Victoria opened her eyes only to close them shut again and adjust to the bright light.
"Victoria?"
She opened her eyes, narrowing them into slates before turning over to look at Mr. Adams. He was standing beside her bed, with his hand on her shoulder. The tapping had stopped and he had just held onto it.
"What?" she rasped out.
He smiled slightly, " I was thinking you might want to come with me to visit your parents.."
"What?"
"Get up," he said, "we need to talk."
Understanding the gravity of the situation, or trying to do so while being extremely sleepy. Victoria got up as he told her to instead at him while trying her best to keep her eyes open.
