Forever and Always

Chapter 53

April's POV:

I drove over to the institute to pick up Sophie. The place still kind of gave me the chills, but it was better than the first time. I knocked on the door, and waited for one of the nurses to open up. They still opened the door just enough for me to see their face.

"I'm here to pick up Sophie Formosa." I said, the nurse nodded and allowed me in. She motioned her hands to the staircase and I went up them.  I walked up the few flights of stairs and then went down the hall to Sophie's room.

A nurse stood at the end of the bed, she had normal clothes on but she was the same nurse that stood in the room while I visited with Sophie last time. I walked up to her and looked over at Sophie.

"Hey April." she seemed really happy, which was probably making everyone here super happy knowing that Sophie was finally excited about something.

"Hey Sophie; you seem super happy today!" I said, she nodded.

"We haven't seen this kind of reaction out of her so this is really good for her." the nurse said, I smiled at her. "I'm Kathy by the way." she held out her hand.

"Nice to meet you, I'm April." I said, taking her hand.

"There should be one more nurse coming soon, she's just helping us get Sophie out of bed and down stairs. She's going to be in a wheel chair for the day." Kathy explained. I was a little confused.  Surely Sophie was allowed to walk around. "She hasn't walked in a few years, and she hasn't eaten so she's very weak. We've tried to get her to walk, she's either refused or she falls in the floor." Kathy said as if she read my mind.

A nurse came into the room, rolling a wheelchair in front of her. 

"Hey Sophie, ready to get out of this place today?" she asked, Sophie nodded. "Good." the nurse said. She arranged the chair to face Sophie's bed. "Okay, I'm going to have you grab onto Sophie's legs, and I'll do the other end." the nurse said, pointing to me. I nodded and moved my arms under Sophie's legs. "1, 2, 3." we lifted Sophie up, and moved her to the chair, trying as best as we could to put her in the chair softly. "Thank you for your help." the nurse said, and wheeled her out of the room. Kathy and I followed her to the stair case. 

"Will you grab under her feet and lift her up. You'll be going backwards so be careful." the nurse directed me. I lifted and moved her all the way down to the main floor.

"Don't you people have an elevator or something!?" I remarked, trying to joke, but no one really found it as a joke, so I stopped smiling and just opened the front doors so the nurse could wheel Sophie out.

Sophie was in normal clothes of course, and she seemed really excited to finally get outside. As the doors opened she squinted her eyes, not used to the brightness. I laughed a little, I didn't really know why.

I helped get the wheel chair down to the ground and we rolled over to the bus. We didn't have many people, but we still had to ride in one of the buses that had that special door for kids that had wheelchairs. Kathy and I went in the normal doors and found seats. Watching as they buckled Sophie in.

We drove to the train station, Sophie was lowered out and we got on the train. We sat silently as the train began to move towards the prison.

Harry's POV:

Today was another visiting day, I couldn't wait to see April. Hopefully she had gotten Sophie to come, I had this feeling that she had been successful in some kind of way. 

Louis was asleep besides the hole, I flicked him on the back of his head. He sat up, his hand on his head.

"What was that for?" he asked, flicking me between my temples.
