Once Avery had received the clothes given to her by Mr. Noonan, she asked that someone should close the curtains so that she may get dressed. Without hesitation, Roland grabbed a hold to the curtain and began to pull it over to the other side for closing. Once done, he stepped back away from it, leaving Avery to tend to her business.

Roland turned around and looked at Mr. Noonan for a moment, realizing that he was interrupted from his discussion with Avery before he had came in.

“We were talking about the nurse outfit being a disguise,” said the boy to Mr. Noonan, “She’s still worried about those reporters outside.”

“A disguise?” said Mr. Noonan as he began to laugh, “That’s one way of looking at it, huh? Maybe they won’t be all over us when we leave.”

“I don’t know,” replied Roland as he shook his head in disbelief, “Some of them I think saw us through the window outside.”

As the curtains swiftly opened, Avery stated that she was dressed and ready to go. It was a relief that they were finally going to get out of the hospital, expecting to hopefully get out of there peacefully without being hoarded by the news media. Indeed a plan was needed now, yet nothing could come to mind for Roland.

A moment came afterwards as a nurse came in to give Avery some shoes to wear so that she wouldn’t have to walk barefooted when they depart. Once the nurse handed them over, she stated that everything was set, also informing them that they would leave out of the back, instructing Mr. Noonan to bring his vehicle around so that they could get in without being spotted.

“Ah,” replied Mr. Noonan, stressed out because of knowing what was to be done of him “That means I have to go to the front…..where the hoard is at. Let’s just hope I make it out the door.”

“Just try to be careful,” said Roland, “There was security in the front when we came in, so I don’t think they would let you just go out by yourself.”

“You’re right,” said Mr. Noonan back to Roland, “The quicker we get going, the sooner we’ll be out of this mess. Alright, wish me luck.”

As he left the room and hurried back to his car, Roland looked over to Avery, seeing nothing but fright upon her face due to the circumstances of the outer activity of the building. Trying to comfort her, Roland walked over to her, handing his hand out to her.

“We’ll make it out Avery,” he said to her, “We’re going to be ok. I’m not going to let them come near you, ok? I promise.”

Mr. Noonan followed the nurse for a moment as she went into a room, grabbing a doctor’s outfit consisting of a shirt and pants so that Avery could leave the hospital without the embarrassment.

“These will work then. Appreciate it.” said Mr. Noonan as the nurse began to leave, him heading back to Roland and Avery afterwards quickly as he could.

As they were waiting for Mr. Noonan to head back, Roland asked the girl if she was going to be able to properly dress herself without help or assistance, hoping that she wouldn’t ask him to do such a thing as it would turn into an awkward situation. Thankfully, she said no, and that she would be able to herself, even though her body feels inflexible from bed rest.

“Once we get going, the stiffness will go away,” said Roland, “Or you could just stretch it out maybe. I don’t know.”

After he spoke, the awkward silence began to come into play in the room for a moment, seeing as their wait was starting to be lengthy as they still waited for Mr. Noonan to come back. Instead of keeping quiet, Avery told Roland of how the outfit she was to receive could be a good disguise to get out of the hospital easier. It made the boy giggle and smile, seeing that she at least tried to have a sense of humor, but did have a great suggestion.

“Yeah,” said Roland as he continued laughing, “We could get out of here easier if so. Then they wouldn’t-”

Before Roland could finish, Mr. Noonan quietly came through the door once more, having the clothes in his hands to give to Avery.

“Here we go,” said the man as he walked towards Avery to give her the clothes, “These should do the trick. Just put them on and then we can get out of here and head back home.”

While Mr. Noonan and Roland were ready to get out of the hospital as quick as they could, a minor situation became relevant as Avery told them she had no other sort of clothing to leave the hospital with. After she had told them of the inconvenience, following with an apology afterwards, they’ve realized that needed to address the problem before leaving.

“It’s alright,” said Roland to Avery, understanding how she felt, “I’ve dealt with the same thing before. Maybe we should ask one of the doctors or nurses if they have a doctor’s suit, like a surgeon outfit maybe.”

“Hold on, I’ll go ask real quick,” said Mr. Noonan, stepping out into the main hall to find a nurse or doctor.

As he left the room again, Roland got up from the recliner and stood, awaiting for Mr. Noonan to come back with something bearable for Avery to wear for their leave. He turned to her, walking over to where she was slowly and seeing if was in need of any help.

“Will you be able to dress yourself?” he asked her nervously, knowing that if she wasn’t to do for herself that he might have to be of help, even though it would be awkward. Hopefully he wouldn’t have to and a nurse would help instead, but that is if she was comfortable with anyone assisting her in the type of situation it was.

In the hallway, Mr. Noonan caught one of the nurses coming towards him. He stopped her from continuing and popped the question politely.

“Excuse me, nurse?” he said to her, “Do you folks have any spare outfit or a doctor suit for the girl in the room? She doesn’t want to come out and leave unless she has something to cover her up better, you know what I mean?”

The little back-story that Roland decided to tell Avery seemed to have made her happy as she giggled to herself once he was done discussing about his little incidents. He was glad to see a smile upon her face, hoping that she would be able to smile more often since she won’t be staying in an abusive environment any more.

He listened to her reply on the story he told her, stating on how funny it was, also throwing in on dealing with Steven on giving dumb ideas.

“Yeah,” said Roland, laughing as he agreed with her statement, “That’s why I don’t follow with any of his ideas anymore.”

Afterwards, the thought had came across as to wondering where Mr. Noonan was, what was taking him so long on. He told them he was going to make a really quick call on his cell phone and he would be back.

“He is taking a while, isn’t he?” said Roland.

After a minute or two, the door had opened and Mr. Noonan made his way back inside the room.

“Hey,” said Roland, “So what went down?”

“Well I just got off the phone with the missus,” began Mr. Noonan with an explanation, “I told her of what happened and such, and that Avery is going to be staying with us. She liked the sound of it so she was fine with the decision, so now all we have to do is head back home and get things settled. So whenever you guys are ready to get going.”

“I’m ready,” said Roland, relieved that everything was coming into place, “Avery, you ready to go?”

The statement that Roland made about his past stays in the hospital seemed to be of interest to Avery as she questioned him about his reasons of visitation long ago. Standing next to her, he looked over to her as he smiled, laughing a bit at the question.

“I’ve been a patient here a couple of times,” began Roland, “The first day I started school, and about a few months after that.”

He walked away from the bed Avery was in to pace slowly back and forth in the middle of the room, explaining as to how and why he was hospitalized when he first came into the scene.

“A couple of guys were picking on Steven the first day I came to school. Being rough on him, calling him names, that sort stuff, you know. Typical bullying. Well I went over to butt in basically and told them to stop and leave him alone. Or….well, something along the lines of that. A few minutes later, I was starting to regret it.”

He went over back to the recliner and sat down on it, continuing his story.

“All I know is that I was grabbed by my shirt collar and punched in the face. Oh, and kicked a couple of times. Lights went out and I couldn’t remember anything else, that is until I woke up in a hospital room with my parents and Steven’s parents almost hovering over me. I freaked out for a moment but everything was fine after that. But me and Steven started our friendship after that.”

He started laughing to himself again as he was going to bring up his other visit from something stupid he did afterwards.

“The other one was my fault,” he continued, “Actually, Steven was the one who brought it up. That big tree that we have next to the school? He wanted me to climb it and try to get on top of the school building or sneak in one of the classrooms, something like that. I couldn’t really remember the whole purpose of it, but I fell off either way and landed on my arm. I broke it, went to the hospital, got myself a cast, then got into trouble. That was after my parents left though, and I had to call them and explained what happened.”

It's fine. Understandable.

As Avery replied to the question Roland had gave her, she replied to him with the conversation revolving around her being able to live freely again, also mentioning that she felt that she was going to be smuggled into the Noonan’s home but glad to be released from the hospital. Roland think much on it himself as he tried to finish his food, but spoke to her to tell her everything would be ok.

“I don’t know about the smuggling,” he said to her, “But I do want to get out of this hospital too.”

As he took the last bite of his sandwich, showing that he was done eating, he got up from the chair he was sitting in and stood up on his feet, going over to the window to secretly see if the press was still at the window without being seen by them.

“Wonder if they will eventually give up,” said Roland as he looked out the window, “I’m guessing not, but then again I can’t be too sure either. Oh well.”

After looking out of the building, he walked away from the window and towards Avery, looking at the IV and heart monitor beside her as well. As he got up to them, he stood there and stared at them carefully, reading the girls heart monitor with the line on it reading normal as it beeped a lot as well.

“It’s been awhile since I’ve been here,” said Roland, “Though I can’t say that I miss it, because I don’t.”

Wondered what took you so long.

As things were beginning to settle a bit more, Roland decided to go ahead and take the first bite of his sandwich, hearing Avery tell of how the sandwiches are basically the only decent thing the hospital has that was decent enough to eat.

“Any good,” asked Mr. Noonan to the boy eating.

He looked up to the man and replied to his question in a muffled voice due to his mouth being full of food, “Yeah, it’s not bad.”

As he kept eating, a doctor had walked into the room to check up on Avery once more to see how she was holding up. He gave them a brief review on how she was doing, stating how she was getting better and will give her medications for her injuries cause by her father.

Before he left, he told them that Avery could be released tonight when all of the press disappears from the area, but telling them that it would have to be done secretly so that no one would know where her current location is when she is released.

Once the doctor left, Mr. Noonan spoke up after he made his departure.

“Well, that’s good news,” he said, Avery following up by stating how she was glad to be leaving soon due to hating where they were.

Roland kept quiet as he continued to eat his sandwich while Mr. Noonan reached into his pocket for a moment to grab his cell phone and check to see if he had any messages or missed calls. A minute afterwards, he decided to excuse himself for a moment.

“Kids I have to step outside again for a couple of minutes,” he said to Roland and Avery, “I have to make a phone call really quick. I’ll just be right out here near the door, so if you need me don’t hesitate to ask.”

“Ok,” said Roland with food in his mouth once again as Mr. Noonan left out into the hall while closing the door behind him. He soon turned over to Avery after he swallowed the food in his mouth and spoke to her.

“Looks like you’re going to be staying with us secretly, huh?” said Roland to Avery.

Once the signing of custody was over and done with, the social worker quickly explained why everything dealing with custody of Avery was all happening so sudden prior to now so that Mr. Noonan could understand all the suddenness. Once she was done with the brief explanation, she stated that after the signing that Avery was officially in full custody over to the Noonan family, telling him that information will be coming in the mail for them showing they have full guardianship of the girl, also adding that a social worker will be stopping by every two months to check up on how she is adjusting.

“All right,” said Mr. Noonan to the woman, “Sounds good then.”

As the woman got up and said her goodbyes to Mr. Noonan and Roland, Avery began to wake up in question to find that Mr. Noonan had returned. She asked him what had taken so long into getting back, also wondering if he went somewhere else to get food because of how bad hospital food usually is.

“No, I got something here for Roland to eat on,” replied Mr. Noonan, “I just got stuck talking to one of the officers in the cafeteria. We talked about everything going on right now, you in particular about us taking you back to our home and such.”

As Mr. Noonan talked, Roland pulled out the item that was in the bag, coming to realize that it was long and folded up. From the looks of it, it was probably a sub sandwich.

“Oh, Roland,” said Mr. Noonan to the boy really quick, “I got you a sandwich. I hope it’s ok because I’m pretty sure you didn’t want what else they had in there. Didn’t look very appetizing.”

“It’ll be fine,” said Roland, “As long as I get something on my stomach, it’s fine by me. Thank you.”

“Of course,” said Mr. Noonan once more.
