Midtown Manhattan, May 14th 2016

Nurse – Wake up. Jordan wake up.

Nurse – Good afternoon.

Jordan – What?!

Jordan – Please let me sleep just for more one day.

Nurse (laughing) – No, you have to wake up now.

Nurse – I have good news.

Jordan – Really?! Tell me please.

Nurse – First you have to get checked by your doctor.

Nurse – But you're going to be released today.

Jordan – Are you serious?!

Jordan – That's good, who's taking me?!

Nurse – Your boyfriend, Mr. Samuel Hastings.

Jordan – Sam! Oh. I'm longing to get out.

Nurse – Right. So now let's take a shower, it won't be forced.

Nurse – You can bathe yourself but there will be nurses watching.

Jordan – Good. I hate forced showers.

Jordan – So give me my hygiene stuff so I can take a shower.

The nurse goes near a locker where are stacked sponges, shampoo and shower gel.

She also takes those slippers, that look to be made from paper.

Nurse – Here are your hygiene items.

Nurse – Now go take a shower and then you're going back here to eat brunch.

Nurse – Sounds fancy but it's just because you had to sleep for an entire day.

Jordan – Okay.

Two nurses follow me and go with me to the shower room.

I'm not worried about them going to watch me bathe myself.

I like it, the attention, the power of making attracting someone.

Jordan – Do you want to help me take my clothes off?!

The nurses just smile and they take my clothes leaving my body naked and ready to be emersed in water.

I turn on the shower and let it flow from my head to my feet.

Then I proceed to open the bottle of shampoo and wash my hair.

I turn myself to the nurses and wash my hair sensually like those "Herbal Essences" commercials.

Then I open up the shower gel bottle and start to wash my body, sensually as well.

I take all of the foam from by body and head and then I start drying my skin with the towel.

I put it around my waist after being totally dry.

And make them follow me, like they were my pets.

I feel so sexy and magnetic.

When I arrive at my room the nurses smile at me and go away.

The nurse that is taking care of me is waiting for me to get dressed and then she serves me my brunch.

Jordan – Hmm looks so delicious.

Jordan – Is this your goodbye meal in here?

Jordan – It's quite delicious and much better than what I was served before.

Nurse – Yes, it's out goodbye meal. Now eat kitty cat.

Jordan – That's cute.

I eat my brunch, hmm it's so tasty.

It's spaghetti bolognese, it's pasta. I love pasta.

It reminds me of my date with Sam.

Jordan – Oh dear god this is so good. I could eat two more plates of this.

Nurse – Hey big boy calm down. This is the most you can get.

Nurse – There's more pasta is waiting for you out there.

Jordan – Yes, right.

I finish my meal so fast that my stomach feels empty.

It's like by eating so fast my stomach couldn't process it.

I want more. I swear I got to have italian ancestry.

I love eating pasta, I could eat it in every meal forever.

I clean my mouth and the nurse leads me to my doctor's office.

Nurse – Now get in.

Nurse – This is your last time in here, please don't screw it.

Jordan – Okay thank you for your support.

I knock on the door. I feel like I have something stuck on my throat, it's all because of the anxiety.

No, I can't show any sign of mental weakness. I finally hear the doctor telling me to get in.

Jordan – Good afternoon.

Doctor Amaranth – Good afternoon Jordan.

I pull a chair to seat in front of the old doctor.

Jordan – Excuse me.

Doctor Amaranth – So, Jordan.

Jordan – Yes?!

Doctor Amaranth – You're better and you're up to go home.

Jordan – Great.

Doctor Amaranth – I just have to measure your blood pressure, your oxygen saturation levels.

Doctor Amaranth – And I will say some words and I want to see how will you react to them.

Jordan – Right, let's do it then.

I put my arm right on the table and the doctor measures my blood pressure.

My arm is hugged very tight by the cuff.

Finally the machine tells us that it has measured my blood pressure.

Doctor Amaranth – Systolic is at 100 and Diastolic is at 70.

Doctor Amaranth – That's the ideal blood pressure really good.

Jordan – Great.

Doctor Amaranth – Now give me your finger, let's measure your oxygen saturation.

Jordan – Sure.

The doctor put the pulse oximeter on one finger of my right hand. This machine beeps too, to tells us the result.

Doctor Amaranth – Oxygen saturation is at 99%. That's perfect.

Doctor Amaranth – You're in pretty good shape.

Jordan - I'm really glad.

Doctor Amaranth – Now. Tell me what you think about these random words I will tell you.

Jordan – Okay.

Doctor Amaranth – Darkness.

Jordan – Something you should embrace.

Jordan – Lack of light. Greatness.

Jordan – Actually it means illumination.

Doctor Amaranth - You.

Jordan – Elliott Cromwell.

Doctor Amaranth – Hit it.

Jordan – Start a production.

Jordan – Play, movie or tv show.

Jordan – Trigger word to embody Elliott.

Doctor Amaranth – Good guy. You're good to be released.

Jordan – Thank you doctor. I go now.

Doctor Amaranth – Go over the rainbow.

Jordan – Okay.

I close the door and I feel powerful and ready to come against anything that will come my way.

I go to my room and wear my clothes.

My regular ones. Finally.

I missed my polos and my chino pants.

I grab my sunglasses and put them on. Go to the common room and speak to all of the other patients.

Jordan – Bye bitches see you in some years.

I leave the common room and take the elevator and go to the first floor.

When the elevator door opens I see Sam seating in the receptionist area waiting for me.

Jordan – Hi Sam! How are you?

Sam – Jordan!!

Sam hugs me so tight. He really missed me.

Sam – You're looking good. How are you feeling?

Jordan – Awesome. I've been thinking about getting in the showbiz again.

Sam – Isn't it too soon?!

Jordan – My doctor told me to do my life as I did before. I have to be active.

Sam – Okay then what have you been thinking about?!

Jordan – We talk and walk okay?!

Sam – Okay.

We walk towards the exit door.

Receptionist – Bye Jordan.

Jordan – Bye ma'am.

Receptionist - Bye Mr. Hastings.

Sam - Bye miss Cassandra.

Jordan (whispering) – You know her name?!

Sam – Yes I've been quite persistent about visiting you.

Jordan – Oh you came to visit me?!

Sam – Yes, but they say you weren't allowed to have visits.

Jordan – Yeah, don't even make me remember what I went through here.

We get out the asylum and take a cab to Sam's house.

I missed the streets of New York.

The amount of possibility to make a dream come true in it is huge.

This state inspires you to become what you want to become.

Well nothing less for the city of dreams as they say.

Finally we arrive at Sam's house and I just want to be there for the dinner.

I'm not inviting myself, I just know he is going to invite me to dine with him.

I want to go back to my house. In the Dakota building.

Sam - So tell me about what you're thinking about doing now?

Jordan – Well I'm probably fired from that theatre company and my name must be tarnished.

Sam – What?! Not at all.

Sam – You are too good to have your name tarnished.

Jordan/Elliott – Yes. I guess you're right. You could help me.

Jordan/Elliott – You know put on a good word about me. Mr. sexy.

Sam (awkwarly) – Yes, I guess so.

Sam – I would tell you to join my movie but the script is already written and most of the shootings are done.

Jordan/Elliott – I have my own concept. I just need your skills to help me create it.

Jordan/Elliott – Okay?!

Sam – Okay.

Jordan/Elliott – Isn't hot in here?! I'm feeling like taking all my clothes off.

Sam – Uhm that's odd.

Jordan/Elliott – Don't be such a fuddy duddy, we used to date, you've already seen my body.

Sam – You're right. We used to date.

Jordan/Elliott - Oh don't be like that.

Jordan/Elliott – The flame of our passion can not be extinguished like that.

Jordan/Elliott – It was sure blown out but like a phoenix it can light up again.

Jordan/Elliott – What do you say?

Sam – I have to think about that.

Jordan/Elliott – You really want to lose a hot piece like me?!

Jordan/Elliott – There's plenty of fish out there. So it's take or leave it.

Sam – You've changed.

Jordan/Elliott – Wrong answer. I improved.

Jorda/Elliott – If you don't want me there's surely plenty of people out there who will. So it's your time to choose!

Sam – Okay we can date again. Gosh.

Jordan/Elliott – Good choice boy. Thought so.

Sam – So you're thinking about going back to the Dakota building?

Jordan/Elliott – Yes but I will feel so lonely there.

Sam – You could move in to my place.

Jordan/Elliott – Really?! That's really sweet.

Jordan/Elliott – I just want to go grab my things. My whole life is there.

Jordan/Elliott – My clothing, my laptop, my scripts and books.

Sam – I'm cooking pasta, after that we could take the subway and go grab your stuff.

Jordan/Elliott – Thank you babe.

I go to kiss Sam and he prepares to receive my kiss but I walk away from him. I wink at him.

Jordan/Elliott – Not so fast. You have to earn me first.

Jordan/Elliott – I'm not that easy.

Sam – We'll do it at your pace.

Jordan/Elliott – Thank you.

Sam finishes cooking pasta with pesto sauce and we eat.

I love pasta, I know I say this a lot but I do.

Then we take the subway and go grab my things at the Dakota.

Oscar – Look who's back from the death. Mr. Dark Fall.

Elliott – Screw you Oscar.

Oscar – How was the asylum? Are you still haunted by your evil side?

Elliott – You should pay a visit there. It's the perfect place for you, you turd.

Elliott – I'm here to grab my stuff.

Oscar – Which stuff?! I gave away everything you had in your room.

Elliott – Why would you do such thing?!

Oscar – I wouldn't. I'm joking.

Oscar – Who would like to buy things from a washed up actor?!

Elliott – Just give me the keys. Please.

Oscar – Or what?

Elliott gets near Oscar and taps his shoulder.

Elliott – Or I will rip off your fucking face you little pervert.

Oscar – Wow, wow, now you're worthy of getting the keys.

Sam – Are you okay Jordan?!

Jordan – It's Elliott from now on. Elliott Cromwell.

Sam – Wasn't that your evil...

Jordan – Yes, it was.

Jordan – IT WAS.

The three of us get into the elevator and Oscar opens the room I used to sleep in.

I grab everything I have there and put in on a trolley I hid under the bed.

Then Oscar locks the door and we go to the escalator for the first floor.

Sam – Bye Oscar.

Oscar – Bye. Bye Elliott.

I don't even answer that dipshit. He always bugged me out, I can't stand him.
