MADNESS

Chapter 2: Stephanie's POV

'Okay, this doesn't really help me. I should probably go visit her while her info is fresh in my mind.' I think to myself. I get up and walk to room 408. When I get there I see a very skinny girl sitting in the corner of the room staring at the ground with a blank expression on her face.

"Hello, you must be Rosalynn." I say as kindly as I can. 

"Who wants to know??" She says without her expression changing or taking her eyes off the ground. 

"Um....hi, my name is Stephanie Dennel!!! I'm your therapist." I say. She slowly and gracefully gets up and walks up to me, until we are only about two feet apart. 

Next thing I know, I'm scrambling to get her hands off my neck and out of her room. Thankfully, two of the guards come in and pry her off me and tell me to go back to my office and continue with my day. I leave and go on with my day. 

After I finish working with my last patient and return to my office to finish up some paper work, my boss is at my door. 

"So the guards told me Rosalynn attacked you??" She asks in a concerned tone. 

"Um...yeah...I don't care though." I reply flatly still focused on my computer. 

"Wait, you mean you'll still meet with Rosalynn??" An extremely surprised Anna says.

"Yeah...she clearly doesn't understand that I'm there to help her not to hurt her. I am not the person to just give up when something goes wrong...I will try and try until I can't!!!" I'm now standing a couple feet in front of Anna, practically screaming at her. 

"Okay, okay, just go home now. That makes my life a bit easier." She mutters as she walks out of my office.

 'Ugh sorry Anna, but at least I get to go home now, cool' I think as I'm packing up my things to go home. 

Once I get home I take off my shoes and, even though it's only 5:30pm, immediately go to my room and get on my pajamas. I sit down on my couch and turn on the tv, then my phone starts to ring. 'oh, it's Evan!' I think as I press the answer button.

"Hola, mi corazón." (Hello, my heart) He says. 

"Hiya" I say in reply.

"Dinner tonight?"

"No, sorry, I had a long day at work."

"Okay, can I come over for a bit, please baby???"

"I guess, but I'm tired so don't expect me to do much."

"Okay I'll be there in 5 minutes!!"

He hangs up and I play a game on my phone until he gets here. He uses his key to get into my house. I don't realize he's there until he has me sitting on his lap cuddled in his chest. We don't say anything. I'm almost asleep when he softly asks:

"Do you know Rosalynn Mareal??"

"Umm....yeah....she's my new pa-" I mumble softly until he cuts me off.

"She escaped." I jump up and turn up the tv.

"-Rosalynn, also known as Rosie, killed two guards and a therapist officer, their names are Hannah Letter, Grant Bailey, and Anna Gerald. So keep your children indoors and in sight and don't go outside unless you absolutely have-" I shut the tv off and run to my room to put on my clothes. Evan follows me.

"What's happening?? Where are you going??? Steph, talk to me, please?" He asks.

"You need to leave, wait no, stay here!!! I'll be home soon, if not, I love you!!!" I say and kiss him goodbye.

I arrive at RSMH and see so many cop cars and ambulances. I also see people screaming and running all over the place. Just then a woman runs up to me.

"Stephanie, hey, why are you here?? Do you know where Rosalynn might be??" It's Karen my boss' assistant, well now my new boss.
