The walls looked the same as when Andy had left but somehow they seemed different. Jordan could not quite put her finger on it but something just didn't feel right. Her brain was foggy feeling. Sleep held on tight as she pried her eyes apart. The pain medicine she had taken had certainly worked because she remembered nothing. No dreams, no nightmares; nothing. Slowly she got out of bed and walked to the window to look out. Too bad she could not remember what the view had been like the last time she had looked out the window unfortunately she had been so preoccupied with Andy that she had not taken the time to notice anything. I better call the nurse she thought and walked over and hit the nurses call button. Her muscles felt like jelly and her brain refused to function. She wanted to simply crawl back in bed. She sat back down on the bed and waited for the nurse to come and help her. The nurse didn't show up right away so she decided to just flip through the channels. After a few minutes Jordan began to wonder if the button was working so she hit it again and continued to wait. She got up to walk out the door when it swung open and a slender woman wearing a nurse's uniform sauntered in. "Is there something you needed Ms. Mackenzie?" Jordan looked the other woman up and down for a moment and noticed that she was wearing a pair of white pumps and her slender curves were barely concealed in the shrinking nurse's outfit she modeled. This woman didn't fit the description of a nurse; more an actress but, Jordan finally decided that this was her best option for help.

The two women stared at each other for a long moment before Jordan finally broke the silence. I noticed that it is getting close to lunch time and I was wondering when I will be getting something to eat because my sugar is starting to drop and I know that if I don't eat soon I will get sick. The nurse simply smiled at Jordan and said I'll be right back. Frowning she thought it was strange that the nurse didn't help her back into bed or at least check her pulse and temperature while she was there like they normally do but then she had called her and they have certain times that they do all of those things. "Stop worrying over every little thing." She told herself you're just making yourself crazy with all of this. With that she sat back down on the bed and began flipping through the channels trying to shake the uneasy feeling that she had in the pit of her stomach.
