"They're supposed to take 10-15 minutes to kick in so just, bare it I guess." She said softly, stripping his bed of its sheets and tossing them into a empty hamper.

20 minutes later, the painkillers had kicked in, just not enough.

Emery sat beside him until they kicked in.

Noah went right back to unresponsive.

Emery eventually got his bed cleaned up before pulling him over to her bed and flopping down beside him, wrapping her arms around him.

Noah just let her move him around.

"Go to sleep, please." She begged of him, voice desperate as she drifted off.

Noah didn't sleep.

Emery slept.

Noah remained awake.

( Maybe get him some professional help, show that his mood is affecting her too, talk it out with him to get over the crash, )
