Rehab - Day 3

He sat in the main room, a beanbag in the corner by the window. The nurse had brought him into the room so they could clean out the bedroom. Between his drugs and Travis' porn, they were both required to have sweeps done every day for items that might be a hindrance to their recovery.

It was a bad withdrawal day for Ben, and the Nurse had carefully guided him to the common room, set him up on the bean bag and wrapped a blanket around his shoulders. The people in the rehab had learned very quickly that Ben reacted much better to female staff than male staff, and days like this was best to just cave to his needs.

So he was in the corner, trying not to shake badly while listening to his MP3 player. He was only allowed to have it in the common room, and they kept it charged for him. The sounds of classic rock soothed him enough that he stayed in his spot, just looking at the people in the room.

When the blonde woman entered, his eyes automatically went to her. She was hot, and that was an understatement.

Elle followed his gaze up to the clock, rubbin one hand briskly across his back.

"Hey, you never know, maybe it won't be so bad."

"The guy's a hippee throwback from Woodstock. And they say I have a drug problem."

Ben chuckled at his own joke, then carefully pulled himself up. There was a see-through plastic bag that he put his ipod and headphones in, knowing he would have to hand it to the nurse.

"I guess I'll see you around then? Dinner maybe?"

Elle stood at the same time she did, brushing herself off. For a medical facility, this place was a little less than completely sanitary.

"Ben?" She was grinning. "Are you asking me to dinner?"

He rubbed the back of his neck. "Not like it's gourmet. I think tonight is chicken nugget night. But you and me, two metal trays, semi-hot food, glass of milk and drowning out the other 118 patients? Sound fun to you?"

She let out a quiet laugh. "It sounds like more fun than listening to their ramblings. And I am never one to turn down a good nugget."

"And we can get Bertha and Travis to meet." Ben smiled, then got up. "See you at dinner."

She smirked. "It can be like a double date." She watched him moving a way, still concerned with the way he was shaking, but he had to go to his meeting so there really wasn't much she could do. "I'll see you later, Ben."

"See ya." He waved, then walked over to the nurse's station and handed in his Ipod.

Then a male doctor with long hair came in and put his arm around Ben's shoulder like they were old friends. Instantly his demeanor shifted and Ben shrugged off the arm, hands going into his pocket and closing himself off to the world as he followed the doctor into another wing.
