Maddie slowly walked into the nurses station, her feet really hurt, she had been up and down hallways and giving medication to those who needed it. Maddie had a headache the size of Jupiter because a doctor caught her talking outside with Lukas a few days ago... he gave her quite a yelling. Maddie begun to feel sad, and lonely... really the only people she could talk to was the patients, but she couldn't just walk into a patients room to talk to them... that would be rude. Maddie sighed

Lukas looked into the nurses station and saw Maddie. He entered, sporting a face that looked kind of embarassed, and kind of anxious.
"I don't want to be a pain, but I didn't get my anxiety medication..."
He noticed her glum expression and wondered what was wrong, but he didn't want to question it. He doesn't want to bother her by asking too many questions.

Maddie turned to see Lukas at the door. her face a faint smile. Of course Mr. Bondevik, I'll get that right away" Maddie said... no longer calling Lukas by his first name fearing the doctors thundering voice yelling at her again. Maddie reached into the files under 'B' repeating his last name as she looked. She'd found his name and took the bottle of medication out. "Here you go, Mr.Bondevik" She said handing him the medication

"Thank you."
He took the medication and swallowed it, cringing at the terrible taste. Why couldn't medicine taste like candy or something?
So, I haven't seen you in a while, how are you?"

Maddie faked her smile... she had been O.K, but she could have been better. "I've been wonderful Mr.Bondevik, How have you been?" Maddie replied sounding as happy as she could.

"It's been better..."
He looked at her puzzled. She obviously wasn't in a good mood, so why was she faking it? Had she got in trouble? Was she trying not to worry him? This kind of stuff is confusing...
"Are you sure you're ok? Because i'm not buying your happy charade."

Maddie's smile dropped... Had he read her that easily. Maddie's eyes fell to the floor. She sighed. "I'm sorry Mr.Bondevik" She paused "Could you tell i was faking that easily?'"

"Yes, but I don't blame you. You're a nurse, not an actress."
He narrowed his eyes, trying to figure out what was wrong with her without intruding too much. Eventually, he gave up and straight up asked her.
"Did something bad happen? You can tell me, you know."

Maddie looked up at Lukas, his eyes narrowed looking at her. she grabbed the bottom of her uniform as she spoke in a whispered voice. "I just got yelled at by a doctor and with all the money hes taking away from he, by the end of the mouth i will be working for free... see, nothing all that big" Maddie paused she felt her eyes begin to water. She couldn't tell him it was because she was caught talking to him... it would make him feel bad for sure.

"Well, that doesn't make sense..."
He pondered, why would she get yelled at? Why are they taking away money? She was good at her job, she didn't deserve to get treated this way...
Unless she did something wrong that Lukas didn't know about? He didn't want to jump to assumtions, as he was working on very limited information. He thought about what to ask next carefully, not wanting to say something insensitive.
"I think it's a big deal. You do your job very well, and you actually seem to give a damn. You shouldn't be getting treated like this. Did something else happen, and you're just not telling me?"

Maddie felt herself smile at the compliment. "Thank you Mr.Bondevik, that's nice of you to say that, but..." Maddie stopped "According to a doctor, talking to patient's like they are your friends is frowned upon in his Establishment..." Maddie said, as tear leaked from her eyes. She really didn't know why she was crying... Frustration maybe?

"That bullshit."
Lukas was starting to get agitated. How could they say that?
"The only way alot of us are going to get any better is by being able to realize that not everyone out in the world is against us. I'm not going to tell them to be best friends with everyone, but a little compassion won't do any harm."
Lukas couldn't understand the doctor's thinking. What kind of mindset are they in? They think treating them the way they do is going to help them? Not a chance.

Maddie was surprised to say the least, though Lukas would know, he would be on the losing end of the doctors attitudes. Maddie knew this quite well... that doctors and even nurses treat these patients like dirt. "I'm Sorry Lukas... you and other patients must be getting horrible treatment from doctors and nurses... if only i would change there mind... maybe patients here wouldn't suffer" Maddie cried. She pulled her hands up to her face as if to hide her crying face.

Lukas started looking through his pockets for a tissue, but didn't have any. He sighed, why does Maddie always cry around him? He'd much prefer her to be happy. He looks around, and finds a box of tissues on a table. He grabs the box and gives it to Maddie.
"Don't cry, okay?"
Was that really all he could say? Lukas felt stupid, and like it was kind of his fault that she was crying. He added, "We'll all get out of here eventually, then we'll be away from the rude doctors." hoping that would make her feel better.

Maddie took the box and pulled out a tissue to wipe away the tears. "Thank you Lukas, your a very kind person" Maddie spoke softly. She wished that every time she'd saw and talk to Lukas she wouldn't break down like this. It probably made Lukas feel uncomfortable. "I'm sorry Lukas... this is the second time I've broken down like this to you." Maddie apologized.
