Psych Ward (Peterick)

Chapter 31

*Joe's POV*

'Joe can you come to the wardens office' one of the nurses asked through the door that was open.

I got of my bed and shuffled to his office. I wonder why I have to go. I didnt do anything wrong. I think. I arrived and knocked. A come in sounded from within so I did.

'Sit down Joe' he kindly said as he pointed to the empty chair that stood across his desk.

'I have some really good news for you'.

My eyebrows raised. Good news? What can it be.

'Joe, you've made big improvements. Really big ones and you can go home. You can get discharged today if you want' he kindly said. A proud twinkle in his eyes.

'Really?' I asked dumbfounded.

He nodded and smiled.

I can finally go home.

'Can I call Andy sir?'

'Ofcourse, go to the nurse station and theyll let you call. Go' he ushered and laughed a bit.

I quickly went to the nurse station and dialed Andy's number.

'Hi, this is Andy'

'Hey babe, its me'

'Joe!! How are you?'

'Me? I'm great'

'Awh baby im happy to hear that. What made you so happy?!'

'I GET DISCHARGED TODAY. IM COMING HOME' I screeched almost making Andy deaf.

'Ahhh hun thats great news. Shall I pick you up at four. So you have time to pack and say your goodbyes?'

'Yes thats okay. Ill see you then. I love you'

'See you at 4, I love you too'.

I cant wait to go home. I cant wait to lay in Andy's arms. Cuddled together under warm blankets. Watching a romantic movie together. Oh how I've missed him.

*patricks POV*

'Patrick you are doing really good, youve made improvements havent you.?' Stacey said proudly as she sat next to me on my bed.

'I- uh have to tell you something. Vaughn is still here' I softly said as I pointed to my head.

'He wont leave me alone Stacey. I cant take it anymore'.

'You can and have to fight him Trick. You are stronger than him. You know that. We'll help you'

'Thank you Stacey' I managed a small smile as she rubbed my back and left. I let myself fall down on my bed and put my arms under my head. I began to mumble a song.

I heard a knock on my door and welcomed whoever stood behind it in.. it was Joe. He radiated happiness.

'What got you so happy?' I giggled.

'I will be going home today' he said excited.

'Oh for a day?'

'No I get discharged today. Im going home' he smiled.

'You are going to leave me?'

Everyone leaves you Patrick. You are all alone.

Thats not true.

But it is. How long since you saw Pete. 2 weeks ago. He doesnt care. Joe doesnt care.

'Im sorry Trick. But ill visit you as often as I can'..

'Thats okay, im really happy for you' I smiled and he returned it.

Liar. Liar. Liar. Liar. Youre a liar Patrick. A liar.
