Psycho

Chapter Twenty-Three: A Little Party Never Kill Nobody

We laid in my bed next to each other, sweaty and breathless. Both our chests were raising and falling at a fast rate. I stared up at my ceiling, second time having sex with a psychotic patient? have fun in hell, my inner self told me. I shook my head getting rid of my thoughts and sat up, looking over at Luke, who was now sleeping with his arms sprawled out beside him. I decided to leave him there since it has been years that he has been in a big bed like that.

I picked my clothes up off the floor and dressed myself again before heading out into the lounge where Daniel sat on the arm chair, watching TV.

"Hey Scar, did ya get some?" He winked.

"Well seeing as you walked in on us during it, I think you'd know"

"Oh yeah.." He mumbled, shivering dramatically like he walked in on his parents doing it instead. "Anyway, are you ready for the party tomorrow?" He grinned.

"Not particularly, no." I sighed.

The fact that people are coming over to a party, with Luke being there, a fucking psycho, along with James who is immediately gonna notice Luke. This should be great.

"Why not?" Daniel asks, picking up the remote and putting it on mute to focus all his attention on me.

"I just.. I don't know to be honest" I lied, "I'm worried I have too much fun that I'll be knackered the next day" I said, hopefully making Daniel against the whole party idea.

"Take a day off then," he shrugged.

"No Daniel, I can't. I take too many days off" As soon as I said that, the apartment phone rings.

I lean over to the coffee table and pick it up, putting it to my ear, "Hello?"

"Hello Scarlet. It's Dr. Cartridge" His voice rung through the phone, I gulped nervously.

"I'm just phoning you to inform you that the institution is redecorating, meaning cells with get replaced with better isolation bars and doors, meaning it'll be less of a chance for patients to get out without any permission. So on Sunday, all patients are getting exported to England to a secure centre for them to stay in whilst Riversfield is getting done up. It'll take two and a bit weeks for this. So until any further notice, you don't need to come into work for a while, including tomorrow, as we have guards and nurses over in the United Kingdom to do that job for you." Fuck, now the party is happening.

"Oh wow, ok that's fine. Thank you for telling me. Goodbye Sir."

"Goodbye Scarlet" He said before the toning noise occurred.

I sighed and practically slammed the phone onto its cord again. "Who was that?" Daniel asked.

"They are redecorating Riversfield and transporting the patients to England- oh my gosh, wait-" I sprinted towards my room, leaving Daniel confused on the chair.

I walked over to the side where Luke was and shook his shoulders until he woke up. His eyes slowly opened and he let out a loud groan. "What?" His voice croaked.

"You need to get back to Riversfield, now" I snapped, gathering his clothes up off the floor and onto the bed for him to get changed to.

"Why?" He asked, sitting up and rubbing his eyes with the heal of his hands.

"Because they're taking you to England because the building is getting recorated." I gushed, shoving the clothes into his chest.

He sighed in annoyance and put his clothes back on and stormed out the bedroom, then the front door. I just stood in the same spot, my lips slightly parted in shock. What the hell?
