Worry. With need2speed.

[dl_greenarrow]

Oliver made his way across Metropolis in under fifteen minutes, which considering mid-day traffic was pretty good. He parked the car in the parking lot of the high school and slid the keys into his pocket as he climbed out and headed toward the door. Opening it, he stepped inside and made his way to the front office, worry knotting his stomach

"Chloe was going to call Dr. Hamilton and have him come over. I think we need to talk to him about how tired you've been. Maybe there's something we can be doing differently."

[need2speed]

"Ugh." Mia made a face at the thought of a doctor's visit. It always meant more poking and prodding and nosy questions. "What if I promise never to sleep in class again?"

[dl_greenarrow]

A smile tugged at his mouth. "Sorry, Kiddo." His voice was soft and he guided her off the elevator a moment later, walking into the apartment he and Chloe shared.

[need2speed]

Huffing with exasperation, Mia followed him out of the elevator and made a bee-line for somewhere to sit down, barely pausing to say 'hi' to Chloe.

"Hey," Chloe said quietly, trying for a smile when she saw Mia but ending up with a version of a worried one, "why don't you lay down in the guest room? You look exhausted," she said quietly, glancing at Oliver.

[dl_greenarrow]

He pursed his lips and looked over at Chloe. "Is Emil on his way?"

[need2speed]

"Yeah, you guys can wake me when he gets here, okay?" Mia said, returning Chloe's half-smile and trudging off to the guest room to go collapse on the bed. She didn't even bother pulling down the covers.

[chloeas]

Chloe watched Mia worriedly as she walked away then nodded at Oliver, "he will be here as soon as possible, what happened?"

[dl_greenarrow]

"She told me she fell asleep in class," he said quietly, rubbing his hands over his face warily. "And then again in detention, which I assume she got for sleeping in class."

[chloeas]

She took a deep breath and shook her head, "do you think it's her medication?"

[dl_greenarrow]

"Maybe," he murmured, sighing softly and sinking down onto the sofa. "She's been exhausted a lot lately."

[chloeas]

"She hasn't been eating well enough," Chloe said quietly as she walked over to the couch and sat down next to him.

[dl_greenarrow]

"No," he murmured in agreement. "I need to do some more research, see how I can be helping her more."

[chloeas]

"Me too," she whispered, "maybe some kind of nutritionist can help us." She suggested, cocking her head to look at him.

[dl_greenarrow]

"Yeah, maybe," he said quietly, glancing up as someone knocked on the door. He drew in a breath, leaning over and kissing the top of her head before rising to his feet once more, moving to open the door.

"Oliver," Emil greeted when the door opened. He had his bag in one hand, coat in the other, scanning the room for Mia.
