We were talking in a closed room, it had two security guards standing next to the door. "What do we do?" I said not looking at him, I couldn't after he abandoned me for two weeks.

"We escape!" He said, "Oh really? Are you sure you're okay with escaping with a mentally ill person?" I said with frustration.

Parker grabbed my hand as he rolled his eyes, he pulled me towards the window and opened it. "Lets go" he said, I got out of the window and he followed me, he held my hand and headed to his car.

He opened the passenger door for me then he sat in the driver's seat. He held the steering wheel and sighed "Are you going to stay like this munch?" He said as I looked the other way, "Okay" he said when he realized he's getting no reply. "Go to the place where we crashed" I muttered.

"I'm not moving until you forgive me, I said I'm sorry...Please?" He said as he stared at the windshield, "Fine" I replied "Does that mean I'm forgiven?" He grinned, "Yes" I replied.

I know I forgave him but I can't stay mad at him forever, plus, I needed his phone. "Can I use your phone?" I asked, I needed to know what is the reason that makes me go crazy at night.

I searched safari with the most obvious one, if I'm not mentally ill then it has to mean that it's because of the medication they give me. "Side effects of schizoway" schizoway was the name of the pills they used to give me.

My eyes widened and my jaw fell when I started reading the results. "Schizoway can cause diarrhea, nausea, sleep walking, weird behavior and loss of memory in very rare cases" that's it! Sleep walking is definitely better than the rest.

I gave Parker back his phone, and kept on staring. "Can you please cheer up?" He said raising his eyebrows.

"Yeah sure, I mean what is my life? My mother died, I get trapped in another universe, I get thrown inside a mental hospital and Lucas is in the treacherous hands of aliens!" I said trying to process.

"Try shouting!" He said as he opened the roof hatch of the car smiling, "What?" I said not believing his request, "It'll help I promise" he said smiling at me. I got up and looked outside the roof hatch as the wind tickled strands of my hair pulling it backwards.

I shouted with a voice that's barely audible to Parker. "Shout louder munch" he said from inside the car. I started having flashbacks about all what I went through, I took a deep breath and shouted as loud as I can, it felt really good.

I got inside the car when it started to get chilly, Parker looked at me and smiled. "Hey are you cold?" He asked "No it's fine" I said as I rubbed my arms to make them warmer.

All I was wearing was a short sleeved shirt, he took his jacket off and gave it to me, "Whoa! No don't do that" I said, "Why not?" He said giggling, "Because..this only happens in romantic movies" I said.

"So?" He asked confused, "How about you think of it as a movie where two friends help each other out, not my personal favorite but you're cold munch" he said. "We're not even friends after what you did" I said teasingly trying to hide my giggles. "Now, I don't even know whether I'm supposed to react to you friend-zoning me at first or to react to you saying we're not even friends" he said.

Why is he upset about me friend-zoning him? Does that mean he...? "We're passing by the gas station first, to fuel the car and maybe get some water" he said. We stopped by the gas station and went the mini market inside the after we fueled the car. We got a little bit crazy, I held one of the horns they sold and kept on pressing it.

Clearly, the sound of it irritated Parker, which I have to admit gave me an inner deep pleasure. "Stop it!" He whispered, "No" I said giggling as I kept on doing it. He slightly pushed me onto the shelf which made everything on it fall making an echoed noise.

We looked at each other smiling, "Hey, pick these up" a female security guard said. Parker grabbed my hand and we started running towards our car.

"That was fun!" He said laughing. We drove for ten more minutes then stopped in front of the the same place we crashed, the same tree I bumped into.

"We're here" he said as he pulled up his car. We both got out to examine the scene. "What are we doing?" He asked, "One of the primary reason that causes you to get in a coma is loss of blood, oxygen or a sudden shock" I replied.

"We're crashing again" I said, "What? Now I really think you're mentally ill" he said as he raised his brows and looked at me with his eyes wide open, "You're on your own with this one" he continued as he walked away.

"Can you stop your childish behavior and act like an adult please?" I said he walked towards the car lazily as he dragged his feet across ground.

"Ill drive" I said. We were 50 meters away from the tree, I took a deep breath as I grabbed the steering wheel and I went full speed.

Before we hit the tree, Parker turned the steering wheel and we started going in circles, round and round. We all started shouting and I tried to stop the car. When I finally did, I punched Parker really hard on his arm.

"What do you think you're doing?" I said angrily, "I'm sorry, let's try this-" he said as he stared at me "You're bleeding Olive" he said, I touched the corner of my forehead to see the blood on the tip of my index finger.

Parker seemed frenzied and distressed. "Hey, its fine" I told Parker as I got back in position, "Are you ready?" I asked, he nodded with nervousness showing on his face.

I went full speed again and closed my eyes when we were few meters away from the tree...
