I had spent the night at Tasha's apartment, and then the next morning I got ready to go back to the mental hospital.
"I'll make the stay as good as possible for you." Tasha said.
"Thank you." I said.
We had arrived. Tasha told them to let me have my phone since Marcus and Delaney would think I was being held hostage if I didn't answer them.
Tasha gave me the same room, she even decorated it.
This felt less than a mental hospital. I liked it.
"You're safe here Zoey." Tasha said.
"Thank you." I said.
"Just let me know if you need anything." She said.
"I will." I said.
I still had to wear a plan long sleeved shirt and plain sweatpants with white shoes. It was the rules here. I had changed out of my clothes from yesterday, pulling my hair back into a bun. I drank a lot of water. I plugged in my phone and put away the clothes they gave me.
Then Marcus called me. Shit.
"Hey." I answered.
"Hey love I stopped by and Delaney said you're living with Tasha for a little. What's going on?" Marcus asked.
"I just need a break right now. I'm fine don't worry." I said.
"Can I come and see you at least?" I asked.
"I'm not sure, but I have to go. I love you." I said.
I hung up, going to Tasha.
"Hey." I said.
"Hey, what's up?" Tasha asked.
"Are people allowed to visit me?" I asked.
"Depends. Who?" She asked.
"Dylan. Just Dylan." I said.
"I can make arrangements." She said.
I nodded. I went back to my room, calling Dylan.
"Hey Zoey." Dylan said.
"Are you alone?" I asked.
"No, I'm with Delaney right now. Why?" He asked.
"Can you like, step into a room by yourself?" I asked.
"Yeah, yeah sure." He said.
~Dylan's POV~
"Where are you going?" Delaney asked.
"Zoey's on the phone. I'll be right back." I said.
Delaney gave me a dirty look. It wasn't my fault Zoey didn't want Delaney to be in out conversation.
"Okay. I'm outside. What's up?" I asked.
"Promise you won't tell anyone?" Zoey asked.
"Zoey you know I got your back." I said.
"I'm back at the mental hospital. I relapsed." She said.
"Shit. Are you alright?" I asked.
"I'm fine, it's just for the best of me right now. I just need you to do me a favor." She said.
"What's up?" I asked.
"Go in my mom's room, open the safe, and take the drugs in there and flush them in the toilet. My mom's toilet." She said.
"Delaney's probably gonna think somethings going on if I do that." I said.
"Can you try doing it when she's asleep?" She asked.
"Yeah of course, I think she's asleep right now." I said.
"Okay. Also, be here tomorrow. Please." I said.
"What time?" I asked.
"Whenever." She said.
"Okay. I love you Zoey. Be safe. I won't tell anyone." I said.
"I love you too." She said.
I hung up, going to Delaney's room. She was fast asleep. I quietly went to their mom's room. Zoey texted me the code. I punched it in and got the drugs out, instantly flushing them in their mom's toilet. I closed the safe quietly, going to Delaney's room and kissing her goodbye.
"Where are you going?" Delaney asked.
"I have to go home. I love you." I said.
"Okay." She said, rolling back to fall asleep.
I went in my car, driving home. I really hoped Zoey was okay.
