[color=black] - I know it has been forever but i'm still going to put this post in. I've been so busy with finals and only now am I able to get on for real. Once again, sorry!
London could feel the slight nudging of the nurse as she was urged forward. She had just finished taking some blood for tests and the nurse pushed for the girl to go into the common room area for just once. It was a large room that had many couches, seats, and even TV's. They mostly used it to help the patients socialize but London never got the gist of it. Instead she really just tried to avoid the room, often going back to her personal room in hopes to be left alone. Apparently today wouldn't be that type of day.
"It'll be worth it, Hun. I promise."
The nurse assured London as they finally pushed past the doors. Before London could turn back and attempt the escape the nurse had closed the door, locking it just in case. God, was she one for tough love or what? London gave a sharp sigh before turning and nervously heading over to a empty couch, taking a seat and sheepishly crossing her legs. She tried her best to avoid any eye contact, instead just waiting for the time to pass. She was trying her hardest to ignore the others that she hardly noticed her brother approaching, the boy sheepishly taking a spot next to her.
"Wow, so they finally got you out of your hole for once?"
James attempted to say in a joking tone, though his voice cracked and stuttered most of the way as he disregarded his ticks. London just gave a small roll of her eyes, not replying as usual. James gave a soft sigh before patting her back and leaning back, shutting his eyes for a slight moment and just enjoying the silence.

The doors swung open as Carson and Darby came walking into the room, side by side. The two had just gotten back from therapy and for once Carson seemed to wake up on the right side of the bed, though Darby seemed nervous as usual. It wasn't unusual to see the two together anymore and often people would question them about each other, the majority of the questions about Darby. Carson has always been the more upbeat one when it was her good days, while Darby never really seemed to have good days. With his BDD it was practically impossible to have a good day in the presence of others.
"Let's snatch up a TV before anyone has a chance to!"
Carson chuckled happily as she clutched the boy's arm, suddenly tugging him towards the largest TV in the room. Darby gave a small smile at the girl's excited personality, though he showed no signs of excitement himself. As the two neared the TV Carson quickly claimed the closest couch, seeking the remote as Darby just sat there quietly.
