As time passed, the MPS became lonelier and lonelier. After Tecna, Stella and Brandon were the first ones to go. Their shrinks understood they were perfect for eachother. Brandons sweet words helped Stella feel good about her self and eat, and Brandon was happy like crazy with his new family- his brother, Stella and Stellas mum, who liked Brandon a lot. Layla was next. I was counting on spending my last days in MPS with her... turnes out she was spending her last days of life in MPS. She got a call from Jenifer. She made her depressed as she blamed her for everything and Layla took all the drugs she had. She overdosed and when we all noticed, it was too late. She died because of her addiction. With tears on her cheeks. None of us expected that. Nor were we ready for that. After her death, about a week later, Sky left. He was ready to go, plus he knew Bloom was going about a month after him. And so she did. So, the ones left were Riven, Tyler, Musa, Flora, Angela and me. We were all siting on the floor in 'our room'.
"So what are you guys up to for today?" Musa asked with a forced smile. None of us were happy. Not only because of Laylas death, but because they all now realized what I did a long time ago. The sad truth.
"Nothing much, I was just gonna listen to some music and draw a little... later on I'm going out with my mum for some family time, she made me." Angela said and smiled softly while looking out the window.
"I could come over while you're listening to music If you'd like." Tyler said and Angela nodded.
"Well, I was going to just chill alone and smoke a little." Riven said, looking bored, as he did for the past few weeks.
"Would you mind if I join you?" Musa asked and he sighed.
"If you have to." he grinned at her and she smiled.
"Well, I was going to hang out with Flora, I don't really have any plans." I said and Flora nodded giving me a smile.
"Guys, I just realized something... why are we alone here? Why no one else came here?" Angela asked while pulling her hair in a pony tail.
"Because everyone left. We are the only retards that are forced to stay here. Not counting you, Angela." Riven said.
"Yeah, forced..." Tyler whispered to him self.
"No, I meant, no one new came. Is it that no one else is crazy anymore?" Angela added but as soon as she saw no one had the answer, she looked back to the window.
"Well fucking fabulous." she said and sighed.
"Plus, not only that, but no one came to visit us. Bloom, Sky... no one. They all came once, and that's it." Flora said as she looked to the floor.
"Well, soon we will be out too." I said hopping to get a smile on her face,but I failed.
"Oh fuck this." Riven said after a minute of silence. We all looked at him.
"I was gonna wait a little longer, because no matter how tough I act I am, about this shit, I act like a girl." he said and looked at Musa.
"What are you talking about?" she asked awkwardly laughing.
"Look, I don't even care that we are not alone, I just don't want to wait like Timmy did. I want to tell you now. I've been in lo... I liked you ever since you got here. So..." he said and Musa smiled from ear to ear.
"Soo...?" she repeated.
"Oh fuck it Musa, we are not teens anymore. Would you like to be my girlfriend?" he said and Angela started giggling so we all looked at her.
"Sorry, sorry. Continue." she said covering her smile with her hand.
"Oh you idiot I was waiting for that question for almost a year now." she said and they kissed.
"Adorable." Flora said while leaning on my shoulder.
"Yeah, well, enjoy the view while you can." I said and sighed.
"Oh common, stop with all the depressive thoughs." Musa said and smiled.
"Yeah, sure..." I said as I walked out to Ethan. Turns out Ethans middle name was Mike. Huh.
"Ethan, hey." I said as I entered his office.
"Oh, Helia." he said and smiled. He was happier ever since he talked to Brandon.
"How's it goin with Brandon and Stella living in your house?" I asked and he sighed.
"I love him. I really do. It's just that... I don't like the dirty dishes... and the dirty floors... and the money just flying away." I giggled.
"So you regret your decision?"
"Ofcourse not." he said as I sat down in front of him.
"You know Helia, this is our last meeting." I froze. I knew it was coming, yet, I wasn't ready.
"You sure? I mean, I did have a pretty intense fight with Tyler just yesterday, like.. um.. I punched him an..."
"Save it Helia. Please. Let's spend our last meeting in a happy way."
"I kinda cant... I'm really not ready." he sighed.
"Look. You are free to go tomorrow. I spoke to your mother who said she is not ready to get you back in home."
"I wasn't planing to go there anyways." he smiled.
"I know. I just needed to tell you. Also. There are a lot of people who want you out of the town. The people you had fights with, the people you stole food from on your 'running away' mission that lasted a full week..." we both laughed.
"Oh, I will miss you. You are the most interesting patient I had for these 4, soon to be 5 years."
"And you honestly changed my life."
"Same goes for you. If you weren't here, who knows would I even get to tell Brandon about me being his brother... we maybe even wouldn't catch him taking all those pills. So, you kinda saved his life."
"Um, let's try to keep it happy."
"Yeah, well... to be honest, I cant make this a happy moment. I will miss you. And that is the first time I said that to a patient."
"Oh stop, I'll blush!" I said in a girly tone. Then the smiles disappeared from our faces.
"Since you cant go back to town, I spoke to my aunt who lives in our sister-town. She has an empty apartment there, and she said you can move in."
".. Are you serious?"
"Yes. It's the least I can do." ...
"Thank you...So this is really a goodbye, huh." I said and looked down on the floor.
"Yeah... you are going tomorrow, but I'm leaving tonight."
"... What do you mean by that?" I asked confused.
"Didn't you notice?"
"... Please just get to what are you trying to say."
"I was still working here because you were still here, but MPS is closing. There is no more money to keep this mental hospital open. We are working just until you guys are ready to go. Then we are going too." I felt empty.
"This is happening too fast." I said as I almost started crying.
"I know. As a mater of fact, what we are doing from the last month till now, we are not getting paid for it."
"... So you were working for free, just for me?"
"Don't flatter your self. How would I look if I left a job half done?" we both laughed again.
"Well then, before I get more depressed about this, I think I should just leave." I said and stood up.
"Yeah..." he said while still sitting in his chair. I walked up to the doors, when I almost left the room he spoke again.
"Oh, and Helia..." he said and I turned around.
"Good luck in your life." he said and I nodded with a smile. I left before I started crying...
