my heart felt broken. i don't think i've ever felt this way before, but it really hurts. a lot. do you know that feeling when you see your love of your life with someone so close to you? and you just sit there feeling sorry for yourself, wishing you were good enough for them? 

i silently watched as she laughed along with phil, parts of my heart tearing apart. i sound like a pathetic second grader with a little school crush, but whatever.

this month had been quite shit, really. my medication has been making me feel dizzy, delilah is spending more time with other people than with me, and i'm a sad fuck.

all of a sudden, two guards came up to my cell. i was awaiting for them to open the door and beat me up for something i don't remember doing, but instead a small figure unlocked it and smiled at me as i studied her face.

delilah.

"good afternoon, mr. howell." i nodded, butterflies erupting as she stared at me.

"i'll be taking you to the canteen for dinner. is that ok?" my eyes twinkled with glee. i hadn't been able to escape this rotting place in almost 2 years. and finally i was able to go. i nodded excitedly, getting up and putting my jumper on. the one she got me.

she stuck out her hand. "you're going to have to hold my hand the whole time, however."

i smirked, "no problem with that, m'lady." she chuckled and led me out, the guards following our every step.

it sounds stupid, but i felt free. i was holding the love of my life's hand, i was able to walk more than a few steps before hitting a wall, and i was happier than ever.

the canteen was quiet. almost every table was full, yet no one was seeming to talk. my brown eyes scanned the room, observing all of the patients. my eyes stopped on two twins, who were staring at the bowls in front of them emotionless. they were still, not making any movements. fucking creepy.

we sat down at a small table, on two chairs that were literally just rubber. baby forks and spoons were payed on the table, incase someone tried to hurt themselves, i guess? "would you like me to get you something, dan?" i nodded eagerly, playing with my thumbs. she stood up and made her way over to the line.

when she came back, a small sandwich and an apple was set on a tray. a small carton of milk and a bottle of water was also there, the water probably for her.

"here, have what you want."

and so i did. i chugged the milk, ate the entire apple and scarfed down the sandwich, as she looked at me surprised. "well then."

i smiled shyly, licking my lips. "are you done?" i nodded, glancing at the two twins that were in the same exact position as they were when i walked in. something wasn't right.

"you're right. that's why i'm getting you out of here as soon as possible."
