I'm Okay (Transcript)

The next morning, Josh and Zoe are still in the hospital but they're getting better. Zoe's stomach isn't hurting anymore and Josh's breathing is improving but still has to be on oxygen until tomorrow.

Hayden: Morning guys.

Josh: Morning.

Zoe: G'day.

Hayden: How are you?

Zoe: My stomach doesn't hurt anymore.

Josh: And I can kind of breathe on my own.

Hayden: Well, that's good.

The doctor entered the room.

Doctor: G'day, how's everyone?

Hayden: Doing great.

Zoe: My stomach only hurts a bit but I'm fine now.

Josh: And I can breathe a bit better now.

Doctor: That's good. Okay, I'll check you up and then if anything gets better, you're due to be released by tomorrow. And I'll have to contact your parents.

The doctor grabbed his stethoscope and checked the 2 siblings. Josh's breathing is improving and Zoe's stomach stopped hurting. The doctor also gave Zoe some crackers to eat and she is able to keep them down. He also checked their temperatures and they are already back to normal.

Doctor: Well, Zoe and Josh are getting better so they'll be able to be released tomorrow.

Zoe: Really?

Doctor: Yup. I'm done here so I will tell your parents to pick you up too. Are there any questions you guys would like to ask?

Josh: Nah.

Zoe: We're good.

Doctor: Okay. Oh is Hayden your brother by the way?

Hayden: I'm their cousin.

Doctor: Okay. Well I'll check on you guys tomorrow.

The doctor left the room leaving the 3 teenagers.

Hayden: Well, that was quick.

Josh: Yeah.

Zoe: I really miss school, I have to miss out a few days.

Hayden: I know, you're the top student aren't you?

Zoe: Yup.

Josh: I want to go back to the programming room.

Zoe: Don't worry, we all will.

That's when Zoe's face started dropping, from a smile to a frown. Neither Josh or Hayden like it to see their girl upset.

Josh: What's wrong.

Zoe: I've been depressed when you were still in intensive care. And when I got sick, I thought it's time I should be in intensive care with you but your bug was caught in my body was caught early so I just have to spend a few days on an IV with you.

Hayden: Then why didn't you tell us?

Zoe: I don't want to upset you.

Song: The Call by Regina Spektor

Zoe: #It started out as a feeling #Which then grew into a hope #Which then turned into a quiet thought #Which then turned into a quiet word #And then that word grew louder and louder #'Til it was a battle cry #I'll come back when you call me #No need to say goodbye #Just because everything's changing #Doesn't mean it's never been this way before #All you can do is try to know who your friends are #As you head off to the war #Pick a star on the dark horizon and follow the light #You'll come back when it's over #No need to say goodbye #You'll come back when it's over #No need to say goodbye #Now we're back to the beginning #It's just a feeling and no one knows yet #But just because they can't feel it too #Doesn't mean that you have to forget #Let your memories grow stronger and stronger #'Til they're before your eyes #You'll come back when they call you #No need to say goodbye #You'll come back when they call you #No need to say goodbye#

Josh: Zoe, I've been depressed for almost my entire life.

Zoe: Really?

Josh: Yup.

Hayden: Josh, is that true?

Josh: Yeah. Because dad usually isn't home and whenever he isn't home, mum would usually mistreat me just for having dyslexia. And my sister is rude and always takes advantage of me.

Hayden: Zoe doesn't-

Zoe: I don't do that, Addison does.

Josh: Along with that, whenever both mum and dad aren't home, Addison would bring along her boyfriend, Ray.

Hayden: Addison Ray? More like the Tik Toker.

Zoe: And you don't want to know what they do together. They basically kiss and stuff in Addison's room and do that all day so Josh and I were forced to take care of ourselves.

Josh: What she said.

Hayden: Oh.

Josh: But ever since Addison left for Sydney back in June, we stopped being depressed and moved on from the abuse she had done. Also mum stopped mistreating us now that dad's back from New Zealand.

Hayden: What about China?

Zoe: He already spent a few months in China.

Hayden: Oh.

Josh: So basically everything went back to normal ever since last month.

Zoe: We'll be okay. As soon as we're released from the hospital tomorrow.

Josh: Zoe, can you come here, please?

Zoe went up to Josh's hospital bed and cuddled him by his side, both siblings being careful with their IVs. Zoe put her head on her brother's chest as Hayden smiled at the siblings.

Josh: I remember doing this back when we were still little.

Hayden: Aww... you guys have a cute way of cuddling each other.

Zoe: That's what couples do.

Josh: Because Addison always puts her head on Ray's chest, why not Zoe and I do the same.

Hayden: Okay.

Zoe: We've barely done this ever since Josh started secondary school.

Josh: Yeah, you know, puberty.

Hayden: I see. Can I join the hug?

Zoe: Sure, come join us.

The 2 siblings and their cousin joined a group hug on Josh's hospital bed.

Zoe: Well, this is the best bonding time ever.

Josh: I know, what do you think, Hayden?

Hayden: I agree on that.

Zoe, Josh, Hayden: (laughs)

Zoe: I love you guys.

Josh: At least this bonding time is better without Addison around.

Zoe: Josh, Addison is in Sydney.

Hayden: Yeah.

Josh: Oh, sorry about that.

Later that night, Josh allowed Zoe to sleep with him on his bed. Zoe already fell asleep on her brother's side and Hayden already fell asleep on his bed. Josh just played with his younger sister's medium-length hair as she sleeps.

Josh: Good night, Zoe.
