*Jacks POV*

I drive quickly to my home so that security doesn't ask me questions or notice that Violet is gone. I park the car in front of my apartment building and grab my work bag from the back. Violet slowly gets out of the car, looking astounded at something. I hope I was right and she isn't crazy. She seems very shy though, I'm not sure why she agreed so easily. I begin to walk to my apartment and grab my keys from my pocket.
"What time do we leave for the flight?" Violet asks as we begin to climb the stairs.
"About 5 AM. I don't want them following us. But, if you don't mind me asking, why were you in the mental hospital? And why did they want me to dose you with a very powerful sleep drug?" I ask opening the door and letting Violet inside with myself following.
"I hear voices sometimes... They don't say much though. Just give me advice about different situations. They both thought I was an idiot for trusting you." Violet says quietly, looking at the ground most of her explanation.

*Violets POV*

I immediately hear Kate start to yell at me and I roll my eyes as soon I hear her words.
"Oh, but that medication wouldn't treat that. It would make it worse." Jack mumbles. I nod and decide to sit on a couch.
"Well, if I got cured they would lose a patient." I respond, trying to clarify these reasons I was supposed to be treated that way. They just want people to stay there for as long as they can. They want to make people go crazy, not help them.
"True. However, I think that you should explain these voices a bit more. Do they have names?" Jack asks curiously as he sits next to me on the couch.
"Yeah, the one that is really annoying and sassy is Kate. The really sweet one who always wants everyone to get along is Lily. They have very different personalities." I explain, trying to make Kate shut up.
"Are they saying anything right now?" Jack asks. If he could read my mind, he would be so annoyed and would know the answer instantly.
"Yeah. Kate is telling me about how I'm an idiot and shouldn't be trusting you. I don't believe her though. Most things she says are wrong anyway." I explain. Jack nods and slowly wraps his arm around my shoulder. Like they do in movies when the guy tries to be romantic.
"I'm glad you trust me." Jack confesses with a yawn.
"We should sleep. We have a long day ahead of us." He adds to his sentence after a slight pause. I nod,
"Okay. I can sleep on the couch." I offer with a shrug of my shoulders.
"Okay. I'll see you in the morning. Sleep good." Jack says as he slowly gets off the couch.
"Goodnight." I call as he walks to a room that I guess is his own. I lay on the couch and pull a blanket from a nearby chair to cover myself with for the night. That's when it gets hard to sleep.
"What were you thinking? Just letting this guy take you on a plane to Ireland? You don't even know him. You don't even know if the plane is really going to Ireland. We were better off in that hospital, at least we had-"
"Shut up. We are actually out of the hospital and look at everything Jack has said, he has done. I just want to sleep and then get out of here when we can. Please let me sleep Kate." I say sleepily. Kate sighs with Lily.
"Fine. I hope you don't get us killed from this though, because if you do I won't have time to say 'I told you so' because we'll all be dead." Kate hisses at me. I wave off her comment and fall asleep quickly.

I wake up to Jack shaking my arm. I wipe sleep from my eyes and look around sleepily.
"I'm sorry to wake you, but we have to go." Jack whispers, sleep in his voice and a yawn escaping his mouth.
"It's fine. I'll sleep on the plane." I smile weakly as I get off the couch and begin to prepare for leaving and flying to Ireland.
"Ugh, I'm so tired." Lily whispers sleepily. I nod in agreement as I tie my shoes. I see Jack emerge holding a suitcase and shoes.
"You ready?" Jack asks as he begins to put on his shoes and tie them tightly. I nod as a response and look up after tying my shoes.
"Let's go, we need to be quick so that they don't find us. And I'm sorry again that we have to leave so early." Jack comments as he opens the door for me.
"Its fine. Also, how am I going to get on the flight? I don't have my passport with me." I explain slowly walking out the door, following Jack to his car.
"When your mother checked you in she gave the hospital all of your personal files and information, including your passport." Jack explains hopping into his car. I follow his lead and jump inside. Jack drives us to the airport where we go through security and get on our flight easily. Jack and I sit next to each other near the back of the plane. The plane takes off, causing my ears to sting and ring for a while afterwards. I try to fall asleep, but it has always been hard for me to sleep whenever I travel, even if I'm in the car. I lay my head back in my seat, trying to relax and have a chance of falling asleep. That's when I feel an arm wrap around me comfortingly. I look over and realize it was Jacks arm. His eyes looking at me lovingly, leaving me to get lost in his bright blue eyes.
"The flight will land in 6 more hours. I hope you all sit back, relax, and enjoy your flight." A voice over the intercom says politely.
"Ha! That totally ruined this kissy, romantic moment you were gonna have." Kate giggles loudly. I roll my eyes at her comment and let a small grin spread across my face.
"What was that for?" Jack giggles, taking me back into reality. I realize what I had done and laugh at the thought.
"I just, thought of something that made me laugh." I lie, trying not to sound crazy.
"Was it Kate or Lily?" Jack asks, seriousness coming in his voice.
"Awe, he remembered our names. How adorable. I like him more already, feel free to kiss him." Kate says with a laugh.
"It was Kate. She always has had a way with making people laugh." I say, trying to ignore more of Kate's comments. Jack laughs slightly, making his hand hold my shoulders lightly.
"Its fine. I don't think you're crazy. I think that everyone has a type of insanity inside them." Jack says with a sweet smile spread across his lips. I nod at his comment and decide not to say anything more. I lay, with Jack keeping his arm around me, listening to the silence of the plane. Thinking about how Jack has helped me and made me feel safer in my life.
"Hello everyone, this is your captain speaking, we are making our decent now. I hope you all had a great flight and welcome to Ireland." The voice on the intercom says politely. I look over at Jack and see his eyelids slowly open.
"How'd you sleep?" I giggle as he slowly wakes up and comes back to reality.
"Good, did you even sleep?" Jack asks, wiping his eyes and yawning lightly.
"No, I don't fall asleep easily. Where are we gonna go when we land?" I ask curiously.
"I have a house that my parents rent out sometimes, right now it is empty, so I figured we could stay there for now." Jack explains.
"How long will we stay there?"
"A few weeks maybe, depends on how much you want to leave I guess."
"I can stay as long as I need to. I think that we'll be safe in numbers."
"Good point. I'll let you stay with me as long as you want."
I smile at Jacks comment, feeling as though I actually had someone who wouldn't leave or force me away. Finally, I had someone to trust and to care about me. Finally.
