"Maybe some photosensitivity," Alicia agreed.  She smiled and nodded, "Thank you.  I really need someone like you around, especially now."  The black car pulled up to them.  Alicia didn't even realize it was Juliette's car.  She thought they were honking for another car to move or something.  When Juliette stood and motioned to the car, Alicia took the hint and entered the back seat.

The interior of the car was nicer than any car she had ever been in.  Even the seats were better than her bed- which happened to be the living room couch.  Thinking of Jake's now abandoned room made her stomach sick.  She couldn't think about it and yet she had so many questions.

"So the glowing on you I saw wasn't a hallucination but...  It wasn't real either?  And the bright lights," she added, covering her eyes just remembering it.  Her skin felt irritated, almost as if she had a sunburn.  She wondered if she contracted some sort of skin infection from falling into the dirty hospital floor.
