"Somebody's in friend jail, somebody's in friend jail, somebody's in friend jail... oh God I hope friend jail doesn't last forever. I need to see her, I need to hold her while she sleeps again, I need to be by her side...forever."
Millie was lying on her bed staring at the ceiling, trapped like an animal behind the bars, white everywhere, doctor's everywhere, Louise nowhere. She hated this. She didn't understand why Louise had put her here, all she did was try and keep her happy and safe. So what if she had attacked Logan and put him in the hospital? What was Louise thinking being with someone who had been so mean to her? What did it matter that Louise had woken up to Millie in the corner of her bedroom petting Kuchi Kopi and watching her sleep while she wore the clothes Millie had changed her into? She just wanted to make sure Louise was okay and beautiful. Why couldn't Louise just see that?
Louise was always beautiful and Millie had loved her from the day she saw her in 2nd grade, it was then and there that she knew she couldn't live without Louise by her side forever. That's why she had done it, she never meant to hurt Louise she just didn't want her to leave the home that she had set up for the two of them.
She looked at the calendar and saw that today was the day. She had been stuck in this room for 3 years but she was 18 now and her time was up. She worked her ass off playing the doctor's games so that they knew she was all better. All the work had paid off though and today was the day she would finally see Louise again. She got up and started pacing the room stuck in her thoughts.
"Oh I bet she missed me it'll be so good to see her. She probably tried visiting a thousand times and they wouldn't letter. I'll fucking kill them. No no no no no Millie you get to see her today and that's all that matters. Louise. Louise. Louise. I'm coming to see you today LouLou, I've missed youyou."
The door clicked and in walked her head doctor with a smile on his face.
"Hey there Millie, let's get you discharged and back to your life in Seymour's Bay."
She grabbed the box of her things she had already packed up and skipped down the hall whistling and happy as thoughts of pink Bunny ears filled her head.
In a town two hours away though the bunny ears had been put away Louise hated them now. She hated Millie for making her hate them she just couldn't look at them though, not after everything that had happened, she always prided herself on not being scareable, she was wrong though. Millie did scare her and this day terrified her she wasn't stupid, a small piece of paper wasn't going to do anything to detract Millie. There was no way she was better but nobody believed Louise; all Bob and Linda saw was their scared little girl but they knew they had to give Millie a chance, after all if the doctors said she was better then she probably was. Logan sided more with Louise but he felt like Millie deserved a chance. A chance was all she'd need though, they'd let her in arms open and it would be like Louise's childhood all over again. No one would see the crazy besides her until someone was about to die.
Louise limped towards the counter of the restaurant she hated the limp but had been stuck with it for three years ever since that night with Millie. She tried to get the thoughts away as her hand started shaking, She reached in her bag to pull out her Klonopin her stabilizers were what had kept her sane all this time. She hated feeling this weak. The bell chimed above the door as she saw her other two reasons to smile, her Fiance Logan Bush and her best friend Abby Haddington came bouncing in the door way and they both looked pissed. She smiled slightly at them and motioned towards the apartment, she understood what was going on and knew they all needed to talk.
"What the fuck?"
Louise flinched as she sat down on her bed as Abby slammed the door shut and started screaming. She knew that the only other people in the world who believed her about Millie were these two after all Millie had attacked both of them at least once and neither of them had forgotten it.
"Calm down Abs Lou is the one we need to focus on right now."
Logan patted Abby on the shoulder as he sat down next to Louise on the bed, he wrapped his arm around her and pulled her down into his chest as they lay back on the bed. Louise was quite she didn't want to face the reality that Millie was about to be back within punching distance of her and she didn't want to admit that she was scared even to the two most important people in her life.
She nuzzled closer to Logan's chest and felt Abby crawl on the bed behind her and wrap her arms around her Louise's mind started to drift back to the dozens of times they had been in this exact situation it was one of the contributing factors to what caused Millie to snap.
Abby and Louise had been friends since a while after Mille attack Abby that was elementary and they stayed friends all the way until high school all the way until Louise started realizing that she was attracted to boys and girls. One night when she was 14 Louise and Abby had snuck away from their houses to the beach they had started making trouble before they were even teenagers and the second they were able they started sneaking alcohol from their parents to get wasted and do things they did. One night it was particularly beautiful outside as they laid in the sand Louise reached over to grab the bottle of liquor and grabbed Abby's hand instead her first instinct was to pull it away but Abby stopped her, they laid staring at the stars for a few minutes before Louise looked over and saw Abby staring at her, Louise didn't exactly know what to do or what she was feeling, that was until Abby lunged at her and kissed her hard.
They rolled around the beach kissing each other until everything was said and done and they had slept together. Louise woke up the next morning mortified, she was positive that it had only happened because they were drunk but she had never felt like that before, except for when Logan teased her once she had hit puberty but at that point in time she felt like that would never get anywhere. She threw her ears on with a pair of jeans and a hoodie with a tank top underneath and took off to school, she was going to play memory loss but the second she walked into the school Abby grabbed her and pulled her into a janitor's closet and kissed her. She asked if Louise remembered and from that day they had a relationship it was so well hidden though nobody suspected a thing.
Despite her initial personality Abby was incredibly dominant and aggressive and those qualities were part of the reason that even in the present she loved her, she could be herself around Abby, she didn't have to have her walls up. A couple months into their relationship they slipped away to the girls locker room between classes and started making out. They heard a cough behind them and turned to find a totally pissed off Millie after the initial fight Millie agreed to forget what she saw for Louise but it didn't happen. A few weeks later Louise hit things off with Logan, she didn't know how to deal with it because her parents would never allow her to date an 18 year old guy and she didn't want them to know she was dating a girl. She introduced Logan and Abby to explain what was going on and her confliction and they immediately hit it off, from then the three of them stayed in some weird unpredictable couple together with Louise at the center.
They kept everything as secret as they could until the Millie situation happened for Logan's sake, they didn't want him arrested and they didn't want hell reigned down on him.
Louise shook her head to get rid of the thoughts, she couldn't take it anymore and jumped up, knocking Abby in the floor in the process.
"Oh shit, sorry Abs."
She helped her up as the other girl shrugged and sat down next to Logan trying to remain calm. Louise sat down in the chair by the bed and grabbed Abby's hand.
"It's going to be okay, we'll get past this and there's power in numbers. Plus I mean we all have restraining orders."
Abby started laughing hysterically and so did Louise and Logan. If there was one thing they all knew it was that no fucking restraining order was going to stop Millie Frock if she decided to make an appearance.
