5. Warm Water

♤Y/N POV♤

Our time in Mount Massive Asylum is numbered as Eddie leaves. "I can't wait to take a good shower after this." Waylon busted out laughing. "And to fix my ankle." We decided to wait outside the elevator and sing Glass Animals together while waiting for Eddie to return. I've only known Waylon for a short time yet we are already close friends. Especially after risking our lives for each other.

Eddie walked down the hall spinning the keyring on his finger.

"Hey, Eddie, what will you do when you're free?" His attention shifted to me, "I was planning on staying here." I shake my head. "You may be a psychotic murderer, but even you don't deserve to stay here. Come with us, I'm sure we can find a place where you're safer." Eddie looked taken aback by the idea. "Are you sure?" I nod and lean back, "Yup."

Waylon shifts his footing and winces. "Let's get this over with, I want to see my family again." Eddie freezes slightly and I pat his shoulder for reassurance.

The Groom unlocks the gate and we continue. I only just realize how bad the blistering is on his face and the hemorrhaging in his eyes is. My thoughts are cut short when we enter the male ward and see fire through the window at the church. "Someone fucked up the BBQ."

We slow down and see armed men around the body of Rick Trager. I had to save Miles from that asshat. Miles whispers, "Best not to speak with them." I silently shove the doors open and notice the tension in the air.

Soon we reach the main room and waiting at the door for us is none other than Jeremy Blair. Begging for our help. He lunges for us and Eddie takes the blow, knife slicing his arm before the Walrider lifts and crushes our ex boss to death. "Eddie, are you ok?"

He holds up his arm showing a trail of blood, "It's not deep." We all shuffel out of the building and spot a red vehicle. Miles grabbed the keys from the viser, "I'm driving, you guys are too injured for this. Waylon, whats your address?"

A dark shadow of a man is wandering the outside. "Never mind, let's just go."

The tires screech as he peels out of the driveway ramming the gate. Eddie is next to me staring out the window, "Am I free?" I smile and scoot next to him. "Yup! We all are." He looks down at me. "Why did you bring me with you? I don't understand." I shrugged, "Because no one deserves to stay there, except for Mr Blair. He's an asshole." Waylon laughs. "You said that right. So how did you find Miles?"

"Oh! Remember that dead guy the armed men were standing around? He was hunting Miles down so I held miles. That building is like a maze!" Miles smiled back at me. "If you would have found me sooner I'd still have all my fingers." I shake my head, "You're still alive, stop complaining."

Eddie chuckles at our odd comments, "You people are strange." Waylon does a 180° turn in his seat to look Eddie in his eyes. "You tried to turn me into a woman. You can't say shit." He spun back around and crossed his arms. Eddie looked very apologetic, "I'm sorry!"

Waylon sighs, "I should be the one apologizing. I was part of the Morphogenic Engin program but, I was trying to end it. You pleaded for me to end it and I wanted to. I'm sorry." He looked down in shame. "I'm sorry I hurt you."

Eddie was scilent in thought as we pull up to a decent sized house in the woods. Waylon looks up, "Home. Holy shit, we're here!" A woman with long dark hair steps out and two small heads poke around her side in curiosity. Waylon tumbles out of the car without a care for his leg. "Lisa! Jamie! Ryan!" He stood as his wife and kids ran to him.

We all took a step out of the vehicle to stretch. "Mind if I use your phone man?" Miles hands me his phone as Eddie stands beside me. Fable picks up on the other end. "Y/N!? Where the hell have you been?" I chuckle and smile. "Wellll, we got caught exposing Mount Massive for all their experiments but, we're free now. I might be bringing someone home as well." I look up at Eddie and smile. He tilts his head slightly.
