We slowly stepped out of the room, listening for any sounds. When they heard nothing, the kept going torwards the lunch hall. "Uhh... Shouldn't we just waid the 4 minutes until they dismiss us for lunch? It would be much easier... Though we would have to wait to get my sister..." "She's really important to you, isn't she?" I nod, not really wanting to talk about my family at the moment, but I didn't say that of course. "So, how do you know about this 'loony room'? Did you have to go there once?" I was joking, but is face turned unreadable. "No, my twin had to go there. I got a gaurd waking me up at 2 in the morning telling me what they did to my brother and what he did wrong." "Oh... Sorry I asked..." "No, you were just curious. It's okay."
We walked for a while in silence until he asked, "So... How long have you been here?" "Only a few weeks or so, what about you?" "Three montls. Three long, miserable, torture filled months." At this moment, I pulled him in for a hug. I bluhed and hugged tighter, asking myself why I even did this. "Well, this is a sudden show of affecion~" "H-Hey! D-Don't take it that way!!" He laughed a little and smiled. "I know exactly what this is for~ You feel sorry for me, and wanted to make sure I knew I have someone I can always turn and talk to, right?" "...Seems like you know me better than I do."
A voice started to come through the speakers and we froze to listen.
"Gaurds, please release rooms 1-250 for lunch at this time. I repeat, please release rooms 1-250 for lunch."
My eyes widened. "We need to get back, now." We ran through the halls franctically, praying the gaurds wouldn't be there yet. We had to stay by the wall to let the other guests pass, one at a time. I counted each one as they passed. One, two, three, four, five six, seven, eight... As the 67th guest passed, we were at our assigneed cells. "I'll try to wait for you tat the corner, okay Millie?" "Yeah, sure." For some reason, it felt wrong to leave his side. I couldn't have feelings for this boy, as we would have to go our seperate ways when we left this place.
I couldn't get attached, not to him. But yet, I had to stay by him.
My mood about the guards dismissing completely flipped. I wanted them to hurry up so I could be with Anthony again. What are you thinking?! You could never be with him, he's too perfect! He could break your heart! Don't get too close to him, you met him in an asylum, he's dangerous! Use some sense!!
