A quick shout out to SmilyReaper for reviewing!
Happy new years everyone!
Enjoy the new chapter!
I sighed as I listened to the new girl screaming, she was brought in four hours ago and she just wouldn't stop. At the sound of the hall door clanking open I smirked and laid back down. We were aloud to scream at night, considering everyone is supposed to be insane, but only for one hour. Then Sister Jude takes her cane to you. A lesson I learned within my first week here. I could hear the cell two down from mine open and the woman finally stopped screaming and instead started whistling.
I waited until the hall door closed again before walking over to my door.
"Hey new girl! Shut the fuck up! Some of us would like to sleep!"
I was surprised when the whistling stopped and I didn't hear her say anything else, nodding to myself I walked back over to my cot and fell back asleep, my dream long gone and replaced with the same nightmare. The night I finally snapped and killed my parents and brother, the police showing up, the judge and jury, and my first night here in this place.
"How are you today Cassandra?"
I smirked, Oliver had asked for me, I wasn't his patient, and yet he had wanted to see me.
"A lot better thanks to you."
He smirked.
"Mind if I take a look?"
I shook my head and stood up from my chair, lifting my dress so he could see the healed skin.
"Just be careful, they should be finished healing soon."
I nodded and lowered my dress before sitting back in my chair across from him, the same one I had passed out in so many weeks ago.
"Why did you call me in here Oliver?"
He lit a cigarette and looked at me.
"Here's the thing Cassandra, you don't belong here. You're not a danger to society. Not anymore."
I smirked.
"And what makes you say that my friend?"
His confidence never swayed as he spoke to me.
"I believe I can help you. You haven't had any episodes since you were admitted. I see myself in you. You're thoughtful and intelligent. You have something to offer the world. And they can't keep you here if they don't have a current diagnosis. If I can convince them that I've cured you, they'll be forced to release you."
I sat back and smirked, there was the man I knew so well.
"What do you suggest?"
He smiled.
"Nothing you can't handle I assure you. Just remember, Cassandra, I am not like those jurors that you fooled into sending you here instead of sending you to the chair. I also know that you are not crazy, you had a laps in judgment, killing your parents was the result of to much social pressure, you killed your brother to save him from the foster homes."
I narrowed my eyes, I had momentarily forgotten just how smart my friend was.
"And if, at the end of the week when you leave, they are not convinced that I am no longer a threat, what then? Are you going to leave me here to rot?"
His smile dropped to a smirk.
"No, I will not leave you here to rot. I will come up with a different plan."
I nodded, obviously happy with his decision.
"Don't get my hopes up Oliver, that could be very dangerous for you."
He smiled.
"Oh I know."
I nodded.
"So when do we start?"
"We can start tomorrow."
I nodded and stood up.
"Alright, I will see you tomorrow."
Sorry it's so short guys!
Remember to review and I will update in the morning!
