Jude sat down beside Will; strongly reminded of the last time he'd been in the Wing, visiting one of his friends. The blue storm raged in the back of his mind, and Jude felt his stomach give an uncomfortable squirm. Instead, he concentrated on Will instead.
She was asleep; not as pale as Jack had previously described her now. She was a little flushed, and she looked quite peaceful, beneath her snowy white sheets. Jude watched her for a couple of minutes, wondering vaguely if he should just wait, and then come back...
"Will?"

Peaceful.
The only way to describe a good long lie in on an uncomfortable bed and having little or no sound at all. It was easy to fall asleep, when the room was like that.
But the day was murder, complete and utter murder. She still couldn't get up properly, so she couldn't stretch her legs or stretch for that matter without being in a lot of pain. She had a sneaking suspicion that they hadn't got all the poison, like maybe there was about a finger nail amount of it left.
She had watched people come and go from the wing with minor injuries and she had talked to the boy across from her with the broken leg. He was nice enough and sometimes funny but it was still not the company she was used too.
Her friends, Tamika, Jude, Jack, Mike, Kira, Macy, Madeleine, Axel, Alice, Toreth or Misa even. All were away home or searching for........Steve.
Everyone kept saying she had forced it on him when she hadn't. She had asked him if he had taken his medication and he said no and while she and Jude had been arguing Steve had fallen unconscious so she had taken that chance to give them to him. So she hadn't actually forced it on him but people didn't seem to think it that way.
Now Will was in her own world and she was happy to stay there. Her world was the best to be in...to her anyway. Nobody got hurt or was blamed for anything and there was some violence but not a lot and most importantly to her, friends were nice to each other and didn't backstab.
Somewhere a door creaked open and closed again.
"Will?" a faded voice asked.
No, go away, I don't want to leave! but it was no use. She was waking up against her will.
She opened her eyes and rubbed them. She was facing the window. No body was there.
"Please tell, I'm not delirious, I'm not hearing voices," she turned over to look at the other side of her bed and saw Jude sitting there.
"Thank god, hi Jude, how are you?" a weak smile settling on her face.

He smiled, seeing her look around at him properly. "Hey, Will. I'm... well, I'm not bad. Bit tired from all this Steve-searching, though..."
He sighed, reminded of his main motive for coming here. He seemed to have become some kind of expert on Steve's medication, and Prof. Thandie had pushed him into going back to Will or Nurse Gornray, and getting more of the poisonous substance. Since Jude never much enjoyed his meetings with Nurse Gornray, he'd decided to bother Will about it.
However, it felt awkward, since Will was basically the reason why Steve had ran away.
... and the reason he had to put up with that ruddy Deron Miles...
"And how have y'all been feeling?"

Will's smile faultered slightly. Now knowing what Jude was probably here about.
"I'm...sore, a bit weak and tired," Will answered shakily.=, "Yeah, I'm sorry about that,"
Will was hoping Jude what get what she was on about. No doubt he would.
"How's it going? Any luck?"

"None," Jude sighed. "I wish you could come out and help us. We need more people. Professor Thandie's getting really worried. She reckons the enemy might've gotten him. After all, Steve's not exactly difficult to spot..."
He trailed off, looking at Will and frowned. Did she feel guilty?
Probably.
"So, yeah," he finished awkwardly, shifting slightly in his seat.

"I wish I was out there," Will chuckled uneasily.
How could I have been soo stupid...?
"Jude look, I'm sorry for shouting and threatening you. That night was not a good one, even the day. I was caught up in something and I didn't want to be around anyone that day in particular, I was stupid. Now all I can hope for that might help you is a premonition," she sighed and banged her head of the pillow as well as the headbar.
"Aow,"

Jude laughed awkwardly at her; half-amused, half-concerned. "Are y'all okay? That looked like a nasty bump..."
Metal beds? Goodness, this wing was depressing. Jude knew it would be alright for him- he was a metal bender for goodness' sake, and could probably get a kick out of it- but metal being gray and all, it was usually perceived as a more depressing color.
And everything was so white too. It was kind of unnatural.
"Will, I have to ask you this..." he said, glancing up and down the Ward. "I sort of need to... see, I need to know if there are any other ways of giving Steve his medication..."

"Yes, I'm fine,"
Will inwardly groaned at this question. She wasn't ahppy about what she had done.
"The only other way I can think of is for him to ingest it, free willingly of course. Jude you do know I didn't like what I did? Don't you?" she looked out the window as she said this.

Jude pulled a face, following her gaze.
"If you didn't like it, why did you do it then? Why didn't you try and let him calm down first, instead of forcing it on him like that?"

Will wasn't in the modd for this, but she opened it again. She always did this.
"Look, Jude, I didn't force him to take it as such, I just asked him if he took it and he said no, then I tried to calm him down by asking you to talk to him, but instead of doing that you came in between us and rounded on me instead of talking to him!" Will's voice had not trace of anger or accusation in and neither did her face or body language. In fact her face wa blank from any expression and her voice just gave away that she was tired.

"But you gave it to him, right?" Jude matched her tone; his expression, his mannerisms completely, blankly neutral.

"True, but he needed it and he wasn't taking it himself. Plus he was out of it but he still needed his meds and if he doesn't get them soon he'll...well I don't know what happens but I'm guessing it's probably not good," Will sighed.
She wiped her eyes and buried her face in her hands for a minute or so.
"God,"

Jude felt like she was missing his point...
"But... you still forced it on him."

Will was now starting to get really frustrated.
Why didn't people get it.
"I didn't, and I'm sorry if you see it that way but I didn't!" Will raised then lowered her voice.
This wasn't a nice pleasant visit. She knew from the start when she saw him something was going crop up and make them fight...yet again.

"Y'all did," Jude persisted, his eyes hardening now that her neutral manner was fading. "You did- you gave it to him without his permission. Whether you thought it was right or not, you still forced it on him."
