Hope thought the world of Alex, it all because he looked at Hope for what his mother saw in him. Like he was some prize to be won, some monemential value that Alex didn't even have. "Oh I am sure about that. Every thing is magically better when you're around. Like you seem to complete me in some weird sense." The drugs were getting to him and he had no filter at all. Hope hated the fact that he had to worry about being like his mother, that perhaps he was going to die at any second. "I hope so Alex, I don't want to leave you. I just can't." Hope was terrified when he saw Rexus as he was getting his tests. He hadn't seen him in awhile but it was just as terrifying. "But Alex....."<br/><br/>Hope whispered out. He wanted to just tell him how bad it was, just how real they were. When he was giving a little shake to try and pay attention the doctor he knew that it was going to be easier said than done. Hope understood with the good came the bad. There was a virus in his lungs which meant stronger antibiotics. That and a condition which caused inflammation in cartilage around his ribs. It was around then is when he started falling asleep. It wasn't a heavy sleep at first but as Alex said he was on some serious drugs. Hope thrashed around as he felt Alex reach over and try to hold him down, which the subject of touch was highly sensitive with him. "NO NO DON'T LET HIM! PLEASE NOT AGAIN!" Hope had finally gotten aware of his surroundings when he had the medicine injected into him.<br/><br/>Instantly making him zombie like, falling limp in Alex's arms. When he heard Alex try to calm him down he looked up blankly at him and mumbled out "Aleeeeex?" He curled up in his lap and pressed his head against his shoulder until he started dozing off once more. "Alex don't let me fall asleep please don't. And then before he could blink once more he was fully asleep. Dr. Grey looked at Alex and said softly "If you want to discharge him now you can send one of my staff to come check on him every now and then or you can wait until he wakes up that is your decision."
