Most of the rest of the day was spent in my room. Aislinn and I went to get lunch after Sally dropped her off. I got to know Aislinn really well during lunch, and she's really sweet.
She told me her whole life story, about her childhood, her short-lived high school years, and why she's in Elledey today.
I've been so distracted since I met Aislinn this morning, I haven't even thought of Tate. But I kinda want to. I want to think about him. I want to see him. And I want him to see me.
In the few hours I've spent with Aislinn, she made me realize something. Something that makes me want to spend some time with Tate. That doesn't make me want to go MIA.
Aislinn told me about her best friend. She said she was frightened about Aislinn's illness. When everyone stopped being her friends and stopped talking to her, her best friend didn't. She didn't care that she was insane, or that she was ill. She enjoyed her time with Aislinn, and her past didn't matter to her.
Aislinn told me why she was in here.
She has multiple personality disorder. There are four to be exact. Four different personalities she owns, and they all have names.
The first one is just Aislinn. I'm guessing this personality is the one she's always had. She's super chill and she has great taste in music, which she listens to all the time.
The second one is Scarlett. Scarlett is sneaky and clever, and she's a kleptomaniac. Aislinn says Scarlett is extremely manipulative.
Number three is Anne. Anne is a homicidal maniac. She killed her two brothers in cold-blood. She's hyper and Anne is the Aislinn I met this morning.
The last personality is Olga. I don't understand why Aislinn turns into Olga sometimes, because Olga has a Russian accent. I think Aislinn just does that one for fun, because she usually giggles when Olga is talking.
Olga's my favorite because she's freaking hilarious.
The only thing that important to me right now is that I finally have a friend at the hospital. I don't care about her multiple personalities, and I know she doesn't care about my problems. I hope Tate doesn't either.
At about 5pm, I walked with Aislinn to the cafeteria for dinner. I've been starving all day, and barely eating lunch didn't help. We walked up to get our food and sat down at 'our' new table. They were serving pizza, and pizza at Elledey is pretty amazing.
I had just taken a bite of my pepperoni pizza and was chewing on it when someone slammed their tray on the table right beside me. Diced peaches flew everywhere, and one landed on my tray.
"What the -?" My palms met the table in a loud bang. Everyone turned around in their chairs and stared at me for a moment. Then I realized who the tray belonged to.
Tate.
"Hello." Tate raked the peaches in the cafeteria floor smiling like the Cheshire Cat. He cleaned the peach-juice off the table with a napkin and sat down next to me.
"Nice entrance, bro. Do it again." I giggled behind my bottle as I took a big swing of my apple juice. Tate reached across my tray and took the peach that landed in my pizza. He popped it in his mouth and smiled at me again. Tate started shoveling his pizza, and whatever else was on his tray, into his mouth with a few swift handfuls.
I smirked at his actions and I looked at my tray hoping he didn't notice.
The whole time, Aislinn was sitting across the table looking at us like we're crazy. She had her arms crossed and her eyebrow raised, looking right through us.
"Who's the dude?" Aislinn asked staring at Tate and looking back at me. Tate leaned back in his seat and I looked back up at Aislinn.
"Aislinn, this is Tate." Aislinn pursed her lips and nodded in understanding. She gave me a knowing smile and took a bite of a pepperoni off of her pizza. An awkward silence filled the table and everyone just looked at each other, waiting for someone to say something.
"So Spencer, did you review my plan?" Tate propped his head up on his arm.
"Plan?" Aislinn asked smiling, expecting to be let in on our escape.
Tate looked at me, questioning whether we should tell her about it.
"Tate and I have a plan. A quite devious one, in fact."
Aislinn leaned in curiously. "Oh, do tell."
"We're getting out of here." Tate said talking to Aislinn but looking at me.
"Prison break? Count me in." Aislinn smiled an evil smile and sat back in her chair.
"I didn't say you could be a part of it." I said chuckling a bit.
Aislinn's smile dropped into a grimace and she stared at me.
"However, now that you look at me like that, I suppose I must let you in." Aislinn smirked and stood up.
"Good. I'm going to go harass some poor nurses. Wanna come with?" Tate and I looked at each other and smiled.
We both stood and Aislinn crossed her arms over her chest.
"Let's wreak havoc over the hospital, shall we?"
