Doctor Consult, Just Thoughts on Leaving

"Are you gonna stay with us until we both decide you're ready to leave?" He asks, staring at me kindly.

I had already admitted that I came close to leaving the unit the day before, feeling overwhelmed. Wanting more than anything to escape my emotions, not necessarily my surroundings. I never left my room, but cried and wrote angrily in my notebook, cussing away.

I nodded, and suggested he should take my car keys as a precaution.

He repeated himself. 

I realized then that "stay" had multiple meanings. I nodded again, moved that anyone would care if I was suddenly absent from this world.
