Chapter 18

The aftermath of the fair seemed to have some high tensions arise in the house. Everyone began to see the true colors of the conditions.

Maryse would stop at nothing to make someone feel useless to her "superiority."

Maria was truly insecure about herself, and it seemed to be the possible main reason of her anorexia.

John couldn't be stopped, once his anger kicked in.

Torrie's past was out to haunt her.

Eve would do anything to get inside Randy's already messed up mind, while using her problem to her advantage

Jeff and Phil needed their edge. They felt as if they were going to go insane.

And while Cody was seemingly way too calm, and Layla was watching him in the hospital, she was heading into her own relapse.

Layla sat down, holding Cody's hand, with a tear escaping her eye. He hadn't even opened his eyes since they brought him here.

"This is my entire fault," she spoke to herself. She felt she should've never yelled at Cody, and he wouldn't have gone off, having a confrontation with John.

"Well, you can't blame yourself now can you?" Layla heard a feminine voice come through the room. She turned around to see a very beautiful woman, with bright blue eyes and stunning blonde eyes.

"Oh, you must be the doctor, I can leave while you examine him," stuttered through the words. The woman laughed.

"That's not necessary sweetie, and I'm not the doctor, just a nurse. Nurse Barbie Blank, but you can call me Kelly," she explained. The British beauty opened and closed her mouth, showing that she understood.

Nurse Kelly sure did look like a Barbie too. She was such a stunning sight to see.

"Oh, um, my name is Layla. Nice meeting you," she spoke after several seconds of silence. Kelly sent her a big smile, showing pearly white teeth.

"How long do you plan on staying her Layla?" Kelly asked.

"No specific time,"

"Well, my shift is over in a couple of minutes, and I was wondering if you wanted to come and hang out with me. Maybe get a bite to eat or something?" Kelly offered the girl.

Layla thought for a moment. She didn't want to be rude to the gorgeous nurse, but she also didn't want to risk Cody waking up and she's not there either.

"He has been giving plenty of medication, and since it's recently been given it, he'll be out like a lamp until late tomorrow evening," Kelly spoke, hinting her already knowing that Layla seemed to not want to leave just yet.

"I guess a few hours out won't hurt anybody. Can you bring me back her tomorrow?" Layla asked her. Kelly nodded and smiled.

"I'll come for you in about twenty minutes, it's a date," and with that, she turned on her heel, and left.

Everyone had arrived home, and went to their rooms. Jeff carried Maria into her bed, and before leaving turned to Maryse.

"You know, you seem to have everything going well for you. You're pretty, seem to be that popular girl from the fairytales, and other than your reason for being here you have your head on straight," he announced.

Maryse sent him a cocky grin.

Before she accepted though, he spoke "Why are you such a ** then?" wiping the grin straight off her face. He left the room, and she cuddled up to the pillow next to her.

Looking around she saw I tense sleeping Torrie, and s slumbering Maria, with tears staining her face.
Maryse was done being berated for her opinions, even if they weren't needed. She grabbed one of her duffel bags, and put some clothing and necessities into it.

Trying to open the Victorian window was harder than she expected, but she eventually managed to do so. She looked down at the ground, before closing her eyes, and jumping down. Landing with a small thud, Maryse shook off whatever pain she felt in her leg, and limped away from the house.

It was time to get away from this hell hole.

Jeff took the bag of cocaine that Phil had found at the fairgrounds. Now, he knew he was supposed to be getting better, but it was becoming too hard and he was about to face withdrawal.

Hell, he needed it now to let some steam out.

Phil had fallen asleep a few minutes back and Randy had to go and talk to Eve for God knows why.
He emptied the contents of the bag onto the dresser, and took a razor, while making them into lines. Jeff checked the hallways and went back in when he saw it was safe.

He bent down and snorted the white substance up into his nose. Wouldn't be long before he was riding the high he needed.

Randy had lay back, and rubbed his hand down his face. He had just participated in oral sex with Eve, and enjoyed it.

Oh he knew it was wrong, but not a one minute thought of Stacy, and now that it was over, she was the only thing on his mind.

Temptation was a **, but an even bigger one when it came with his condition.

Since he was a schizophrenic, and had an inner "voice" inside his head, he didn't have control.

That's why he came here, to get the help he needed, to have it under his control, but now the gorgeous Eve was in the picture.

And she could end up being the reason it never got better. Even worse because Stephanie had announced that visitors were coming soon, meaning Stacy might find out.

Because of the events that had taken place earlier, John had been placed in solitary confinement for the time being. He knew his problem would make it hard to know the people in his house. He'd managed to hospitalize the person he'd let in first, and hurt someone who he was possibly falling for.

He really needed to get himself together, try to control his temper, or at least work on himself while being alone. John really didn't need to make enemies in this place, or people who feared him, that'd just make it worse.

Because he was so drawn into his thoughts, he didn't even hear the door open, and someone walk into the room. Let alone the small shift in the bed that the person made.

"Hey," they said in a small voice. John, startled, jumped around and met the green eyes that belonged to Torrie Wilson.
