One Maniac at a Time

slightly messed up

Pete's POV

I was sitting with Patrick and Joe. Andy was busy. We liked to hang out sometimes.

"How is she?" Joe asked.

"I'm not sure, she is better than before I think. But I know how hard this is." I told them.

"I'm gonna visit her soon." Patrick said.

"I think she would like that." I said. He nodded.

"How are things with you an Elisa?" I asked.

"They're really good, she's really nice." He said. I nodded. It was good he had found someone who he connected with.

"That's good." I replied.

"What's been happening in your life?" Joe asked.

"The label is doing pretty well. And Best Ink is still going so it's going pretty well." I said. It was an awkward get together. Eventually we all went off to do whatever we had to do. I just felt like I was missing something.

Tara's POV

Hannah was really nice. She was good for Oli. I was glad he was happy. I finally got my IV taken out. Ethan didn't really come around that often, whenever he did he was mad at me. I was sitting outside on the balcony with two nurses, three guards and Dr. Gillings watching me. Suicidal people aren't very well trusted. I sat there humming Caraphernelia.

"What are you thinking about?" Dr. Gillings asked.

"I'm not." I replied.

"Okay." He said.

"What are you thinking about?" I asked.

"How I can help you." He said. I rolled my eyes. He always tried to strike a connection. A nurse came over and whispered in his ear. He smiled and stood up.

"Come on, someone's here to see you." He said. I walked back in and saw Oli grinning from ear to ear.

"What is it?" I hissed.

"You'll see love." He said. I was really curious to see who it was. Dr. Gillings had me wait in the TV room, I was getting a bit nervous.

"It's me! Just kidding, but I am here." Ethan said, he had practically come out of nowhere.

"What are you doing here?" I hissed.

"I'm here because I am always here." He said.

"Go away." I hissed. He smiled. He disappeared.

"I'm always here." He whispered in my head. I was a little shaky but managed to get myself together. Dr. Gillings came back and behind him were Mike and Vic.

Mike's POV

I look at Tara, her eyes looked like all the life had suddenly rushed back into them. I smiled and hugged her.

"I missed you so much." I said.

"I missed you too." She whispered.

"Hey Chica, we're sorry we didn't visit sooner." Vic said.

"It's okay, you guys are here now." She said smiling.

"How about we go for a walk?" Vic suggested. She nodded we were lead to an open courtyard. Guards were stationed at the doors and here and there. We started walking.

"How are you feeling?" Vic asked.

"I still see Ethan, I miss him, but I don't all at once." She said.
