"We'll always be here for you." Pete smiled, taking his attention off the road for one second. I just nodded and looked up at the sky as we drove.

As I stepped out of the car, I scanned the huge building that towered over me. It was extremely modern, it had polished white walls and large windows covering about half of the structure. The door was a rectangle shape and dominated the whole of the establishment. It was just so damn huge! (That's what she said..... OMG Leah, now is not the time! Sorry...... Continue....... :P) I felt quirky as I stared up at the building. This was probably where I was going to spend the rest of my life. Oh well. No one will miss me anyway. The guys walked ahead of me, up the cobbled path and rang the posh doorbell. Two nurses stepped out into the open and nodded in my direction. I jogged up to them and smiled at the guys, but they gave me pained expressions. "Leah, you're going to be staying here for a little bit....." Joe said. With that said, I realised, this wasn't a psychiatrist, it was probably a mental home. Or another orphanage. Please no, I can't go through all that again.

"What do you mean? As in staying the night?!" I gasped,

"Yes..... I'm so sorry Leah. I didn't reali-" Pete began to say, but I interrupted him. Rage took over my body as I turned towards him, looking at his face.

"You betrayed me! Why would you do this?! Why?!" I screamed with a loudness that I didn't even realise I had.

"Leah! I- I'm sorry!" He begged, "I didn't realise! I thought it was just today!"

"No, you didn't! You're just pretending! All of you are lying to me!" I bellowed, making them put their hands over their ears.

"N-no Leah!!" Andy sobbed,

"I can only trust Patrick! That's why he couldn't come! He didn't know! He's the only person I can trust!" I cried. By now, I had started to take steps towards the guys and struck an angry pose. They quickly backed away and motioned to the nurses behind me. They grabbed my arms and held them behind my back, while trying to calm me down. I noticed that one of them was a man and the other was a woman. I struggled against their grip and screamed, "LET ME GO!!!"

They tightened their hold on me and pulled me towards the big doors leading to the inside of the building. I thrashed against them and begged for Pete. He cried softly as he saw my state and turned away from the scene. I began to call out for Patrick and closed my eyes, my screams turning into long shaky sobs. I pictured his face in my mind and clung onto the picture. I quietened as one of the nurses jabbed a needle into my neck and I sighed. I opened my eyes one last time and looked at the boys before a deep sleep numbed my body and my eyes drooped closed. I slowly started to drift into unconsciousness and my body slumped. A part of me wanted to see Pete, Andy and Joe and say sorry. But I couldn't. Because they were gone. Yet, another part of me wanted to hate them and forget they ever existed. Because they left me here. And they probably weren't coming back.

Leah! How stupid really are you?! Of course they were coming back for you! Patrick too! He'll be there! Right?

(Okay, I know this is a really short chapter but I wanna leave it here and do the psychology in the next one. I actually like this chapter that I wrote so that's a good sign! Thanks for reading! Bye! 😊)
