Boom. A gun shot was fired. I started running towards the other way.
"ahhhhh" someone yelled.
"help me" I ran faster.
I tripped and fell into someone's arms. I knew i've seen this body. I couldn't make out the face but I know this figure.
"are you okay?" The low voice said.
"not really, thank you for catching me" I said.
"Tori? Oh my god, when did you get out?"
"who are you?"
Then I saw his face, it's.."
I woke up to the sound of bells. It's breakfast time. My guard didn't put me in hand cuffs, that's different.
After breakfast, my therapist was in my cell waiting for me.
"good morning Victoria" she said less scared since time.
"morning" I said.
"I have great news. The FBI contacted all city police and wanted.signs for Harry are all over" She said happily.
"great" I said lowly.
The lady started to talk but I ztarting thinking about Harry. How can he possibly hide so long? Maybe he is guilty, who would hide if they aren't guilty?
"so how are you feeling Victoria?" She said.
"im just confused and depressed" I admitted.
"mhm I see" she started to write in her book.
"Now, I see you have been drawing and painting."
"yes, I have never really drawn before."
She stood up looking around at my drawings and paintings. "now this one, is that you and Ally?"
"I don't want to speak of her". I continued "She's not the person I thought she was".
She wrote more in her journal.
"Well it looks like we are out of time, see you next week" she waved good bye.
"bye" I said watching her walk out.
This institute is making me go insane. I won't even read the letters I get because I can't deal with it.
There's a letter hidden under my pillow. It's a pink envelope with handwriting I do not recognize. I began to open the crease of the envelope. I started to pull out the paper slowly opening it.
"Dear Victoria,
I hope you don't hate me. Im going to turn myself in to the institute in a week. I need to figure out a plan and you're getting out of there. Im getting you out, you are innocent and deserve to be free. I walked passed your house and Ally has been very suspicious. She has been visiting your mom a lot. But please don't worry, I'm getting you out. Your lovely gaurd is sneaking you this letter, shes my aunt's friend so I know her. Don't be a pain to her because she's helping us with this plan. I have a perfect place we can go. I have one question, do you trust
me enough? Keep that in mind for week. I hope to be seeing you soon Tori. You're getting out, don't worry.
Sincerely,
Harry"
Oh my god. I don't know if I trust him. What if he's really guilty? I don't know what to believe, I don't know what to do.
A day has passed by and I still cannot get that letter off my mind. How can the gaurd even sneak me the letter? How does Harry even know what cell I'm in? Im still only 16 nearly 17. I can get into serious trouble. I'm not leaving, I will demand that he goes to court.
I have negative thinking but I also have positive thinking. Why is he trying to have me escape? He barely know's me, so why help me? There's something suspicious going on and I will find out. There is no way I will leave without the truth. Harry just turned 18 meaning he physically doesn't have to live with his parents. Does he even have parents? With all the depression I would see at school, I wonder if his parents even care. I just want out. When I see him I will demand we go to court to get this over and done with.
It's lunch time now so I get to see Morgan. She has been a bit edgy lately and she won't tell me why.
"Hey Tors" She says as I walk toiwards her.
'Hi" I say.
"What? I miss lunch one day and you're all depressed?" She says.
"I'm sorry, I got a letter from Harry an-"
"Shhhhhh" She interupted.
"What?" I say.
"Do you want to get in trouble?" She says quietly.
"I'm sorry what? I ask.
"With all the things you say about Harry, I doubt you want everyone knowing he contacted you because that could mean war." She says.
"Well yeah, no one knows he contacted me" I said.
"That's good, just keep down. I don't want you getting any harm Tors" She says.
"What do you mean?" I ask.
"Well, Tors, let's jsut say a friend of mine was brutally harmed because he disobeyed the rules."
"What did he do?"
"He contacted people he wasn't supposed to and let's just say, to this day, he's still stuck in a room with nothing but a toilet and metal platform as a bed"
"What?"
"Just watch out Tors"
The bells rang meaning lunch is over. Morgan began leaving and my gaurd was taking her sweet old time. I just want to know what he's like now. I need to know his name, I need to talk to him.
Since I was really suspicious, I began to ask my gaurd "Is it true this institute brutally harms people?"
She didnt speak at first but began to say "Well, they do wip patients, i have seen with my own eyes. This institute can get pretty scary"
We arrived back at my cell which means our conversation had to to come to an end. she locked my bars and I sat in my bed noticing another pink envelope hidden under my pillow.
"Dear Tori,
Hey, It's Ally! I asked your mom if I could come visit you but she said no. Supposedly they are moving to Florida. They suspect you will be in the institute for many years. I just want you to know that I am always here. Please write me back! I miss talking to you!
Love,
Ally "
No, I refuse to write back to Ally. Something does not seem right about her.
I cant get the fact out of my head that Harry is trying to have me escape. We can get into serious trouble. I'm not a bad person. Harry looks like one but I know he's nott bad enough to kill. His actions show otherwise though. Why would he run away if he didnt kill her? It just doesnt make sense.
How is he even going to have me escape? What? Turn out the power? What good does that do, guards have flashlights, tazers, handcuffs, and probably way more. It's going to be a scary moment and I don't think I'm ready to have a bad record.
I'm innocent, but I can't prove it. I wish I could. Why does my mom even want me in here? If I had a daughter and she were accused, I would try to get as much details as possible and fight for my daughter.
My parents don't care about me, neither does Ally so I dont understand why she even bothers writing to me because I wont reply.
Just then...
The power went out.
Screams and moans came from all over.
All i could hear was "shits about to go down" from a guard.
I'm actually scared.
If the power is out, that means all the cells are unlocked.
At that moment I heard someone pull open my cell bars.
I gasped.
