Rae was still sitting in the chair with her legs hugged to her chest when Karson showed up at the hospital. At her sister's question, Rae hesitated, she didn't like lying to her sister, but there was no way she could even give a half truth response to that question as she had the night before. So instead, she decided to ignore the question and change the topic. "She should be awake by now, shouldn't she? You didn't see the doctor out there anywhere when you came in, did you?" She asked, glancing from Karson to their mother, hoping she'd effectively deflected her sister's attention to their mother.
Rae got to her feet and stretched, running a hand through her bedraggled hair once more. "I'm gonna go see if I can find the doctor." She said, turning and heading toward the door without glancing back at her sister, worried she may see through her attempt at avoiding the question.

The frown never left Zane's lips as his brother spoke. When he asked if they were done, Zane shook his head. "Yeah, do whatever you want." Zane said, walking out of the kitchen with his glass in his hand, heading upstairs toward his room. Once in his room, he sat down on his bed and took his time relishing the orange juice. Everything made him think about alcohol, even this. As he savored the taste of the juice, he could imagine the extra burn it would have if he'd added vodka to it.
Once he finished his juice, he set the glass down on the nightstand, deciding to take it down to the kitchen later. In the meantime, he needed a shower. He grabbed some clean clothes and slipped into the bathroom, trying to forget all about his brother's impromptu visit, to forget about the abandonment he'd felt when his brother left. Zane quickly stripped out of his clothes and stepped into the shower, taking his time and letting the hot water wash over his body, relaxing his muscles.
