She's still standing.

GRAPE ON!!

Ch. 30
"Ha! I win!!" Said Noah getting up and doing his cute celebration dance.

"Yeah. That's one win for you and 28 for me." I said laughing.
He was still doing his dance. I jumped on his back and tried to get him to stop. We laughed and laughed and then he let me down on the bed. He laid next to me and we held hands staring at the ceiling.

"So, how many more months do you have to be in this place?" He asked.

"I don't know. I've been so much better and there hasn't been any mean posts in awhile. I hope I can get out soon. We wouldn't have to be restricted to this space, and no Joe watching our every move. No offense Joe." I said.

"That's oka-" Joe started but as soon as he said that my phone went off. It was a voicemail from and unknown phone number.

"Hmm...I wonder who this is?" I said.

"Listen to it and find out." Said Noah.

The voicemail said so many awful horrendous things. But all I kept thinking to myself was 'why do I keep looking at this stuff. I should just get rid of my phone.' But the voicemail was a disguised voice, but I had a good idea of who it was.

"And I thought it was getting better." I said. I started to cry.

"Shhh, Shailey, I'm here for you. It's okay." Said Noah.
He cuddled me and pulled a blanket over us as I cried.
Joe was still in the room. He's usually quiet. He sat there and watched me cry.

"I don't know what to do, Noah." I said.

"Shay, it's okay not to know." He said reassuringly. We sat there for a while just staring at the ceiling holding each other in our arms.

"I have something I need to tell you." I said out of nowhere.

"Oh yeah. What's that?" He said turning to me.

"I fell in love with you because you loved me when I couldn't love myself. You've stood by my side and have always been there for me." I said. "Look at us, I'm in a mental hospital and you still love me. And still come to visit me."

"Aww. Shailey, I love you too." He kissed my forehead. Monica walked in and saw us cuddling.

"Aww. You guys are adorable." She said.

"Hey Monica." Noah and I said.

"Here's your snack." She Monica. "Do you want something Noah? I can bring it for you."

"No, that's okay. I'll just share with Shailey." Said Noah.

"Okay. See you tomorrow." She said.

"Mmm...grapes and juice. Looks good to me." Said Noah.

"How long are you planning to stay tonight?" I asked shoving grapes in my mouth.

"How long do you want me to stay?" He asked me throwing a grape into the air and catching it in his mouth.

"I don't know. But, we're not allowed to have visitors past 10." I said trying to do what Noah did. But I missed the grape.

"Haha." He laughed. "I can stay until about 8 probably. My mom will wonder where Ive gotten to of I stay later." He was still laughing at my "grape fail."
"Here, let me help you with that grape thing." He said grabbing the bowl of grapes.

"Okay..." I said laughing.
I was sitting on one side of the bed and Noah was sitting on the other. He tossed a grape in the air. I missed it.

"Shailey, come on!" He said laughing.

"Ugh. I suck at this. Come on. Let's try this again. I'm going to get it right eventually. Let's goooo!!!" I said really excited.

He tossed another grape in the air.

AND.....
