Continued from last chapter.

"Hey Luke" a voice calls out behind me. When I turn around I see Josh and the patient he is in charge of, Calum. He's in cuffs but walks calmly along side him.

"Your not doing anything right?" Josh continues, his eyes glancing down at his watch.

"Uh, no why?" Calum staring at me now, a grin plastered on my face. It makes me uneasy.

"I was wondering if you could just watch Calum for a couple of minutes, his cell is being um-" Calum gives a short giggle, interupting Josh, "is being .... Refurbished" he finishes.

I can still feel Calum staring at me, still smiling creepily at me.

"Sure I don't mind, as long as it's only for a couple of minutes, I have to take care of Michael." Calum giggles again, louder this time.

"Thanks I owe you one dude" Josh says, nearly sighing with relief. He hands me the keys for Calum's cuffs and sprints down the hall giving me a small wave.

Calum is still giggling, never taking his eyes off of me. This is exactly the type of person I was afraid of meeting in this place.

"Cmon Calum lets go to the canteen" I say, grabbing him by the elbow.

He immediately pulls away from me, as if I electrocuted him. He isn't laughing anymore.

"Listen fucker, don't ever touch me again, unless I tell you to. You hear me?" Even handcuffed, Calum is terrifying. His flared nostrils and raised eyebrow make me want to shit myself.

"I want you to listen carefully, and when I'm finished, repeat every word. Okay?" I shouldn't be scared, but the looks in Calums eyes told me not to fuck with him. I just nod my head silently.

"I want you to ask Michael how Ashton is doing" Calum speaks slowly, his sly grin returning to his face. "Now say it back to me, how you would ask him." He continues.

"Hey Michael how's Ashton" I feel a hand reach behind me and grip my back. "Don't forget to say Calum was asking" Calum says, his teeth gritted together. He lets go of me as I hear the sound of Josh's voice book through the halls.

"Sorry! Thanks dude I owe you one. You should probably get back to Michael, I think his session with Liz is just about finished" Calum stands innocently beside me, leaving no trace of threatening me just minutes before.

"Time to get you moving mister" josh jokes at Calum. Without an arguement, Calum obediently steps to Josh's side, giggling sweetly at him. He looks like a teenage girl walking up to her crush. It's really weird because Josh doesn't even notice.

"Okay see you later josh" I reply, giving him a small wave.

As they start to walk away, Calum turns his head around to me and starts mouthing something at me.

"Don't forget to say it" that's what I think he said.

(BACK AT LIZS OFFICE BC IM LAZY)

" Michael you seem a bit down lately what's up?" Liz asks me concerned.

"I'm just tired is all" I reply. My replies all sound rehearsed and robotic lately. To be honest, I was kind of looking forward to having Luke as a friend like my last guard. It made things more bearable around thing. At least I still have Liz.

"Well, go to bed early tonight and we'll see how you are tomorrow" Liz says softly. That's my favourite thing about her. She doesn't make me take medication like all of the other workers here.

"How are you getting on with Luke?" She asks me.

"Fine" I reply. Shit I said it way to quickly. That earns me a suspicious look.

"Michael, I only ever ask one thing from you, and it's to tell the truth." I suddenly feel really guilty because me and Liz have always had a strong bond and I never lie to her.

"Okay, it's kind of awkward" I tell truthfully. She doesn't say anything else except a disappointed "okay."

"I'll organise something" she continues. "Maybe some trust building exercises or bonding regemines."

Suddenly her alarm goes off, signalling the end of our session.

"Have you got an escort to get you back" Liz asks.

"By 'escort' do you mean Luke" I scoff.

"Yes" she laughs.

"Yeah, he's waiting outside. I'll see you tomorrow" she gives me a small wave and I stand up to leave. As I'm getting up, I see myself in the reflection of the mirror on her desk. My hair colour has faded and my dirty blonde roots are coming through. It's makes me kind of sad because I wanted to keep onto my crazy hair for as long as possible. Pushing it aside I head towards the door.

Though the clouded glass on the door, I see Luke leaning against the wall outside. His foot nervously tapping against the floor.

When I open the door he looks startled to see me, as if he was in a world of his own.

"You ready?" I say. He nods his head. I find it strange he didn't go in to Liz when I was finished. He normally does.

"Hey Liz told me she's going to do some like bonding stuff and I just wanted to let you know ahead of time if you don't feel cool with that..." I when I look at him, he's not even listening to anything I'm saying. I'm pretty sure that I could walk away and he wouldn't notice.

"Earth to Luke?" I say snapping my fingers trying to get his attention. God sometimes it's like I'm in charge of him sometimes.

"Luke!" I snap. He'd been ignoring me lately but it's start to get in my nerves.

He finally snaps out of his trance and looks at me with wide eyes. By now, we're at my cell and his hands automatically go to his back pocket to reach for the keys.

"I'm sorry" he whispers. "I don't mean to keep ignoring you. I really need this job." He pleads. He breathes in deeply and lets out a huge sigh. I'm genuinely concerned now because it looks like the whole world is on his shoulders. I feel bad for him.

Without a word I step in my cell. I don't wanna cause him anymore trouble from now on. Maybe the bonding from Liz will help things not be so awkward between me and Luke.

"Michael?" I turn around to find Luke passing his weight between his two feet, as if debating something.

"Calum wants to know how Ashton is." He states.

My whole vision goes dark.
