Inside the Asylum (Book 1)

Chapter 30 - Breakthrough

The rest of the night was amazing. We danced and danced. By the end of the night my feet were killing me. Grace didn't ever sit down. She was either greeting people of dancing. It was very cute to see her dancing with their friend's kids none of whom were older than 7. Everyone looked so happy. Grace and Jack looked happy and that was all that mattered.

They were leaving for their honeymoon tomorrow. They were going to a place called Mistbell which was just south to Nightwater, the main place in Ivory City. They were going for a week.

After all of the partying I was taken back to the Asylum. I didn't mind this time though as I was so tired, I could have fallen asleep in the car on the drive back I didn't however as I was too busy talking to Max. He was allowed to stay with me again, but he wasn't allowed to talk about the case. Well, he was allowed to mention somethings but not a lot. Although he did say that they had enough evidence to charge someone. He also said that he hopes they will move quicker now that they are getting somewhere thanks to information from other people from inside the asylum. Max keeps trying to get the police to talk to me, but they won't.

Although as long as they are working on the case then I don't mind. I just want justice for Nick.

I curled up in my corner and felt Max do the same beside me, hugging me close.

"Night." I hear as I fall asleep.

When I woke up Max was gone but there was a note:

H.

I'm sorry I had to leave again. They say they need to talk to me once more before they can go to court. I'll be back as soon as they are finished asking me things.

Love

I picked it off the floor and kept hold of it on my hand for the rest of the day hoping he would come back soon.

The day dragged and as night drew nearer it was starting to hit me that he may not becoming back today.

A week past and still Max hadn't been allowed to come back yet but that meant that today Grace and Jack would be coming home today.

The next morning Grace came in really early and gave me a pair of jeans and a top and told me to get changed quickly. Once I was ready, she told me we were going out. I followed her out of the room and was suddenly hit with a wave of nerves. Yes, I had been allowed out a lot more recently, but I had always been nervous and that was after being told where I was going the day before. Grace was walking so fast I had to run slightly to keep up with her. As we walked out of the building and to her car the nerves twisted in my stomach.

"Grace. Where are you taking me? "I ask as she starts the car and pulls out of the space.

"We are going to the trial." She says focusing on the drive. "We'll be there in about 15 minutes."

"Thank you!" I say smiling.
