Barbra did what she was told and went home. God she couldn't stop imagining to scene of her mother yelling at her. The words 'But we haven't had enough fun yet!' continues to flourish and flood her mind state.
"I've have enough goddam 'fun' for one day." Barbra says to Alice. She decided her other half's name ages ago, she hated saying her name, the foolish thought of naming an 'imaginary friend.'

STUPID, STUPID, STUPID! SHUT UP. SHUT UP! YOU'RE BATSHIT CRAZY IN THE HEAD BARBRA!

Barbra took a heavy enraged breath in and releases it calmly. She clenches her jaw and continues home. She has to get up early in the morning and she knew that she wouldn't get much sleep. Barbra would be working her part time job at Arkham tomorrow, she couldn't wait.

Barbra put on her pajamas then went to wash off her make up. She stares into the mirror, she never really liked what she saw, but she knew if she starved herself her parents would think her crazy. Barbra smiles and laughs at herself. She looks up once again and stares deeper into her reflection.

"Hello," Alice says with a wave of a hand.
"Get out of the way, I'm busy." Barbra says.
"Far too busy for me? Oh I see how it is..." Alice bursts into a flood of laughter she then stops and purses her lips.

"Heard you went down to the popo and was investigated, all because of what your little boyfriend did," she continues.
"He's not my boyfriend! He's not... my boyfriend." Barbra shouts much more hushed the second time.
"You don't believe him to be crazy? That what he did it was for a reason."
"I do believe he did it for a reason. Did you not see what his mother was doing to him? I can't imagine what it must have been like for him as a child." The blonde says being empathetically toward Jerome.

"Barbra, who are you talking to," her mother asks. She try's opening the door, but it's locked. "Barbra, open the door this instant."
"Calm down, Mom. I was only washing off my face." She replies.
"We need to talk, hunny." This is the sound of Barbra's fathers voice. Panic fills her and her fingers begin to tremble.

"Ta-ta." Alice whispers, again with the wave. Barbra glares at herself and unlocks the bathroom door. She pushes past both parents and sits on her unmade bed.
"What's there to talk about? I went out, now I'm back. Who gives a shit." Barbra says.
"Watch your tone and mouth young lady!" Her father yells.
Barbra rolls her eyes. "I'm eighteen! I'm not a little girl anymore. I'm an adult and I can make my own decisions without your fucking help. I'd much rather live in that hell hole called the Asylum rather than live here with you two. You make me insane, YOU MAKE ME WANT TO KILL MYSELF! Have you ever thought about that?"

Her parents stare at her, they look scared, but Barbra didn't give two shits.
"Ha, I can see it in your eyes. You're scared. Scared of... me," she says finally figuring out their deal. "BOO!" Both her parents jump. As of again Barb rolls her eyes.
"Get out of my room. It's 1a.m. and I'm tired. Besides, I have a job to go to tomorrow morning."

Her parents leave without hesitation, quite quickly it seems too. Barbra slams the door behind them.
"She's losing her mind." says her mother. The blonde hears, shuts her eyes tight, digs her nails into her palms, and screams an ear piercing scream.
    She calms herself and gets into bed. "It's going to be one hell of a day tomorrow." Barbra says to herself.
