Mental Institution

21

  It's been a month since the incident has happened and I must say Jason has definitely stepped up his security. I'm not allowed out of the house at all. With or without Jason, I'm not allowed to make phone calls, texts to anyone, I'm not allowed to do anything at all. It's really starting to stress me out as well as making me and Jason argue. I mean he leaves me alone with Ryan, Chaz and Za, which I don't mind because I'm starting to make friends other than Lauren but me and Nyla need Jason around! Not just as a daddy for Nyla but as a boyfriend for me! We've had a few letters warning Jason and me that there is no set time when we will be taken it will just happen which I can say has honestly scared me more. Jason's been snapping at me a lot and ignoring me almost as if everything is my fault! I mean if he wants to carry on like this I'll take Nyla and leave. Sure a criminal is after me but he thinks I'm his daughter, he wouldn't hurt me... Would he?
Suddenly the door slams shut and Jason comes staggering in, no he's not drunk. He's high. I can tell by his red eyes. "Where the hell have you been?!" I snap and throw my hands around myself in a manner to show him how pissed off I am. Jason glares at me before dropping down onto the couch and pulling out some more drugs... Marijuana to be exact and I huff, walking over to him and snatching the little
plastic bag out of his hands. "No! Jason we have a baby upstairs who is only a month and a half old and you want to fill her lungs with this God damn shit!!" I shout in a harsh whisper seen as everyone else is asleep. Jason stands up and comes towards me in long angry steps which causes me to stumble backwards.
"Give it back to me right now Ariella" Jason shouts, not caring if he wakes up the others in the house. "No Jason! If you smoke that thing then me and Nyla are out of that door before you can even roll the damned thing!" I shout as well, suddenly not caring if I wake up everyone. At least then I know I'll have some sort of help if Jason attempts to hurt me. "Stop fucking swearing Ariella-Jazmyn Jones! It doesn't sound right on you!" "You know what? Smoke that thing! I don't care anymore, but me and Nyla are gone!" I say as I drop the little plastic bag on the floor and march past Jason.
I'm halfway up the stairs when someone grabs my ankle causing me to trip and fall knocking my head halfway down.
"Jason! Ariella!!" I hear a deep voice shout before everything goes black.

Jason's POV.
I've been so stressed lately. I know I've been distancing myself from my daughter and girlfriend but I just can't help it. I mean the voice in my head is telling me to stay away from Ariella for a bit until everything is sorted whilst the other part of me is telling me to be there for her, love her and sort things out with her by my side as well as the rest of the gang. But obviously my pride isn't letting me do that.
"Stop fucking swearing Ariella-Jazmyn Jones! It doesn't sound right on you!" I shout in a mocking tone whilst looking at Ariella, I must admit right now my mind is fuzzy, I mean I'm in some sort of la-la land, high off my face. I know it's wrong but something's telling me it's right and I love the feeling I'm getting from it right now. "You know what? Smoke that thing! I don't care anymore, but me and Nyla are gone!" Ariella snaps as she drops my bag of goodness on the floor. To say I'm pissed is an understatement. First of all she takes my drugs then throws them on the floor then second of all she threatens to rake my daughter away after she knows the dangers! I pick up my Marijuana and stuff it in my pocket. I see Ariella half way up the stairs and as I go to grab her by her arm I slip and fall making me hold onto her ankle. But what I didn't realise is that I had a hold of the railing and my precious baby went falling down the stairs.

Ariella's POV.
I wake up with a headache that makes me feel as though a bomb has been planted inside my head and it keeps exploding. I sit up carefully only to be pushed back down lightly.
"Lie down Ariel, You have to be careful" a soothing but hoarse voice says. I open my eyes slightly to see a blurry sight of Lauren with my mom sitting next to her and Pattie holding Nyla. I bring my hand up to my head in hope it will at least some of the pain but I gasp when I see the sight of blood.
"What happened?" I ask weakly. "Honey, Jason came home high last night and you and him got into an argument to which you walked away and he chased you up the stairs and pulled on your leg making you fall, you cut your head and knocked you out. Jason panicked but looked at you before he ran out of the house, Alex called for help and carried you up here" my mom says and I freeze as everything comes running back to me, from the fight to Jason to everything going black. I sit up carefully and look at the clock which reads 10 AM.
Jason hasn't come back all night? He could of gone to his house. I guess in my mind. I stand up only for the three other women in the room to panic "I'm okay, Ii just need to hold Nyla" I say as I walk towards Pattie, who smiles warmly and hands me my daughter. "I apologize for Jason's behaviour when he returns home I will be having firm words with him" Pattie says before smiling and walking towards the door. She then turns around and says "I'll start with the breakfast, why don't we leave Ariella to stay with Nyla alone for a bit" To which my mom and Lauren agree as they both follow behind Pattie and close the door softly, that's when I let out the tears. I look at my little girl, who's honey eyes are looking at me, not having a care in the world. "Why would daddy do this baby?" I ask quietly.
I do wonder why Jason would do this.. I mean is it stress, does he not like me any more? Was it the drugs? "Mommy's so silly isn't she Nylie" I coo, causing my little girl to slightly smile at me. I carefully place her in the middle of the bed, careful not to have her roll and hurt herself.
I quickly change my clothes and put on fresh underwear before picking up Nyla and walking in the bathroom, where I brush my teeth, with a struggle, using one hand is harder than it sounds.
After I'm done freshening up I walk out of my bedroom and down the stairs where I see Alex and Jeremy sat on the couch with a mug of coffee.
"Thanks for last night Alex" I mumble as I look down at Nyla. "It's okay" Alex says as he smiles softly at me. Jeremy smiles softly as well and in that instance I hate Jason more, I mean I have everyone pitying me now because of him! "Jason was out of order last night Ariella but when he comes home hear him out, I'm sure he didn't mean it" Jeremy pleads as I roll my eyes. "What if I had Nyla?!" I unconditionally snap and that's when the door opened and in came the devil himself.
"I wouldn't do anything that would harm her and I didn't mean to harm you" Jason says with his head down and a sorrow filled voice.
