Mental

Chapter Five|Do You Know What I'm Seeing

Dan

Dan smiled, and shifted in his seat focusing his attention on all of his patients at once. They were sat in a circle in rusted metal chairs, the giant windows of the commons room adding a warm feeling to a rather cold setting.

Today was the first day of group therapy. Everyone, except for Evan, seemed pretty excited.

"Hello, everyone. I'm so very glad we all get to meet today. How is everyone feeling?" Dan asks smiling.

Sugar practically hops out of her chair raising her hand, "Ooh, pick me! Pick me!" she shouted, "I wanna share!"

Dan chuckled, "Alright, we'll start with Sugar. Make sure you mention your full name, and how long you've been here."

She beamed at him, "My name is Sugar Collins, and I've been here for three years. I'm feeling very happy today because I really like group because we get to talk to a lot of people, and make new friends, and I get to hang out with Sage more, who is my very best friend, and we all get free pudding!" Sugar shouts enthusiastically.

Sage claps when she finishes, and smiles at her. She takes a bow.

"Wow, you sure do talk a lot." Phil smirked.

Sugar smiles, "Thank you, sir."

Dan rolls his eyes, "Phil, since you felt the need to talk when it wasn't your turn, would you like to share with us next?"

Phil smiles, "Anything for you, babe."

This makes Sugar squeal, and break into a fit of giggles. Sage admires her. Evan continues to ignore everyone.

Dan shakes his head and grins, "Just share already."

Phil stands up, and smiles at everyone, "Salutations fellow lunatics, my name is Phil Lester. I have been at the great Cynthia Hall for nine years. I'm the Prince of this prison."

Sage and Sugar both gasp. Evan looks away from the window to stare at Phil.

"You've been here for nine years?" Sage asks in shock.

"Yep." Phil answers.

"Are you really a Prince?" Sugar asks in awe.

Phil laughs, "Yes, I am know as Prince Philip."

This earns a laugh from the group, and a small smile from Evan. Phil notices, and winks at him making Evan smile a little wider, but he then turns back to the window.

Dan smiles, writing something down, "Now how do you feel today, Phil?"

"I'm just excited to see you again today, Doc." he flirts.

Dan sighs, rubbing his temples, "You give me a headache, Phil."

"Is it because you can't get me out of your mind?" Phil asks cheekily.

Sugar laughs at them, and Sage smiles. It seems the two are mentally connected the way they always do the same thing, or something close to it.

Dan blushes, "Alright, no more from you Phil, sit down. Sage it's your turn." he says.

Phil smiles at Dan once more before sitting down slowly, and staring intently at his red face.

Sage stands up, and sighs, "Um, my name is Sage Andrews. I've been here for four years. I guess I feel good today because I like this group, and I ship Dr. Howell, and Prince Phillip."

Everyone laughs.

Phil nods, "Me too."

Sage smiles awkwardly, and everyone claps as he sits down. Sugar gives him a high five.
