-later in the day-

*Louise's POV*

Jolene dropped me off at the Fairvale Mental Institution about an hour ago and now I'm in the bosses office being interviewed, since her position was open.

"So you said you can start any time?" Mr James asks, reviewing my license.

I nod. "Yep. The sooner the better."

He slides my license back over. "Well, you're hired. But only if you're willing to be reliable. Our last nurse quit after a short time even though we were short staffed."

I nod. "Yes sir, I'm willing to do so."

I'm only here long enough to help Jolene.

He stands up, extending his hand. "Well congratulations. You start, well, now. I'll give you the tour and start you up."

I nod, even though I don't know the last thing about nursing. It can't be that hard considering I have a license right? Ha.

Mr. James leads me to the front desk. "Pattie, would you please show Ms Louise her charts?"

The woman nods, smiling at me as she goes to a filling cabinet and grabs a file with Jolene's name on it. "This is your list of patients you'll see. Your first one for the day is room 24, Norman Bates. He's in confinement at the moment but you're welcome to go down there to see him if you want. The medicine for each patient is already organized due to other nurses having to see them. Other than that, that's about it. Good luck!" She smiles, handing me the chart, which now says "Louise Hayworth".

Obviously I have the same last name as Jolene, but we had to change it so they wouldn't be suspicious.

I grab the med cart and push it out of the room, reading the signs to see how to get to this confinement she mentioned.

Once I get down there I ask a guard where Norman is, showing him the pass they gave me, and he points to a door, which I go over to. Peeking through the window, Norman is just sitting against the wall staring at the floor. I hesitate for a moment, my heart pounding, before knocking and entering.

"Hi Norman, I'm your new nurse Louise."

He doesn't look up, instead keeps his eyes fixated on the floor.

"How do you feel?"

Nothing.

"Can I get you anything?"

Still, nothing.

"Norman listen, I'm Jolene's sister and I'm only here to find a way to get you out."

He glances up at me. "Why would she wanna get me out when she's the reason I got put in?"

I furrow my eyebrows. "Norman what do you mean?" I walk closer to him.

"Oh please. It's just so convenient she decides she needs fresh air right before Dr. Vincent comes to pick me up. I'm not a fool."

I shake my head "Norman I think you misunderstood-"

"I think you misunderstood since you know nothing about the situation. Tell Jolene to leave me alone. I was better off not meeting her at all. My mother tried to warn me."

His mother? Why doesn't his mother visit him? I leave it at that and leave him be.

I still have a whole chart of patients to visit.

-several hours later-

*Jolenes POV*

"So he thinks I did this on purpose?" I ask. Louise nods as she runs a comb through Judy's hair. "Yep. That's what he said at least. Also, where is his mother?"

"Oh she's dead." She widens her eyes.

I pick at my fingernails. How could he think I've done this on purpose? He knows how much I care for him. That will never change.

*Normans POV*

Jolene pretended to care about me. I did believe her too. I can't believe she would do this to me. Especially after all I've done for her. Mother told me and told me, but I didn't listen. That's what I get for being disobedient.

Had Jolene never come into my life I'd be much better. As much as I don't want to believe she did something like this to me, it's obvious.

I just feel empty inside. More empty than I ever have.

I never expected her to go behind my back and help Dr Vincent, but then again she did it when I wasn't participating in his therapy sessions.

I hope I never see her again. I should've never allowed someone to get that close. Whatever, I guess I learned my lesson.
