I woke up in the morning, still wrapped in Zayn's arms. I wasn't going to complain, though. But then I remembered we had class today. I didn't want to go at all. I wanted to stay here with Zayn. I felt him start to move and his grip on me loosened.

"Good morning." He said, yawning a little. I smiled.

"Morning."

"How'd you sleep?" He asked.

I smiled again, remembering what he did. "Great, actually." He smiled, too.

"Good."

"We have class today."

"Do we have to go?"

"Unless you want to be stuck in a room all alone with nothing, not able to leave at all, yes."

He sighed. "We can't just skip?"

"They'll find us. No matter where we go, they will."

"But we don't have those bracelets on."

"So?"

"How else would they find us? They'll have no clue where we went."

"How are we going to get out of the building without going through the front? Even if we went through the back, there's people there, too."'

"What about the window?" I looked up at the window. It was mostly broken, so it couldn't be that hard to get out. Just a lot of broken glass.

"Fine. But if were leaving, were not going to come back, right?"

"Nope. Unless you want to."

"Hell no." I said, getting up and grabbing my bag from under the bed. I remembered my medication.

"Hey, can I drink from the water bottle you have? I need to take my medication."

He nodded and got up. He took it out of his bag and tossed it to me.

I took all of my pills and tossed it back. "Thanks."

"No problem." He said, taking his own medicine. I put all my little pill bottles in my bag and got all my stuff. Zayn did the same and then we just sat there.

"So how do you plan to get out of that window?" I asked.

"Climb out. I'll go out first and then you go. Just jump of the base of it, I'll catch you." I mentally smiled.

"Okay." I saw him get up and throw his stuff out the window first and then he climbed out. I was nervous, but I walked up to the window, throwing my stuff out first as well, and standing on the base, trying not to hit my head on the top.

"Don't worry. I'll catch you, I promise." Zayn said, quietly. I nodded and closed my eyes, jumping out. I felt Zayn catch me and sighed in relief.

"Told you I'd catch you." He said, smirking. I rolled my eyes and smiled, grabbing my bag.

"Come on. Where should we go?"

"Anywhere. I don't think we should go home, though." Those words broke my heart. Only because I missed Niall so much, and the people back at that hell hole had my phone, so I couldn't even call him and tell him what happened.

"Why not?" I asked, looking at the ground.

He sighed. "Alice, I know you want to go home, but I just don't think we should yet. What will our parents think?"

I just shrugged, still looking at the ground. I felt him tilt my head up.

"Hey, don't worry. I know you miss him, but you'll see him soon." Zayn said, putting an arm around my shoulder. I nodded and hugged him around his waist. I felt him kiss my head and I smiled.

"So where should we go?" I asked, letting go of him.

"Wherever they can't find us."

"Well, we just have to go far away from here for a while." I said, looking down. I wanted nothing more to just go home and see Niall, but I knew I couldn't. I missed him so much, but this whole escape mission wasn't planned at all, so it's not like Zayn and I even knew what we were going to do.

That hell hole, instituion, asylum, whatever you want to call it, will find us. I just had a feeling and once again, none of this was planned.

"Why don't we go stay with Harry at his place?"

"He has his own place?"

"Yep, want me to call him?"

"How? You don't have your phone."

"Yes, I do." He said, pulling a cell phone from his back pocket and showing it to me.

"How'd you get it?!"

"I snuck out my first night there and stole it back."

"Dude, how the hell did you get passed the camera's and everything?"

Zayn shrugged. "I honestly have no clue. I guess I'm just lucky. By the way, I got yours, too." He said, tossing my cell phone to me. I smiled.

"Thank you!"

"No problem." I went to my contact list and found Niall's number. I thought about calling him or texting him, but he probably wouldn't even answer. I just sighed and put my phone in my pocket. I looked over and saw Zayn on the phone with Harry. I didn't pay much attention to them. I just sat down by a tree and looked through the old pictures on my phone. I smiled at the ones of me and Niall, Niall and Louis, me and Louis.

I went to my music and look through everything. I hadn't listened to some of this stuff in forever. Well, it felt like forever when it was only about two and a half months.

"Alice, you ready?" I heard Zayn's voice and jumped.

"Oh. Yeah." I stood up and wiped the dirt off my jeans before starting to walk with Harry.

"Harry said he only has one extra room, so you can sleep with him or me."

"I'm gonna go with you."

"Good choice. He's a pervert."

"Wow. Him and Louis would be best friends."

"Yeah...um, they kind of are. You know, besides the fact that Niall is extremely close to him. And one more thing."

"What is it?"

"Louis and Harry live together."
