Chapter 3

*Avery's Point of View*

I nod slowly when he offers lunch. "You actually eat here? Like the food?" I ask as I rise to my feet, and we make our way back inside.

"Well, not exactly." Niall says slowly, as he opens the front door for me, and he nods with his head for me to enter first. "I bring a lunch from home... So would you mind stopping by my office with me for a minute?"

I shrug and nod. "Sure, it's not like I eat the food here anyway." I walk inside and follow him down the corridor to his office. As we walked down the hall I found out he usually prefers to be called Dr.Horan but he doesn't mind me calling him Niall, unless it gets him in trouble with Ms. Blud. We walk into his office, and he puts some papers down, and he grabs his lunch. We walk out of the room, and he locks the door, and leads me to the cafeteria. "Why do you lock the door? To your office?" I ask him, it's not like anyone could steal something.

"The files and the notes I take, are private. Between the..." He pauses a moment, looking for the right word. "Client and I. It's no one else's business." He says confidently, and I nod, relieved a little that no one else will know what I tell him.

"What about Ms. Blud? Does she know? Will she find out?" I ask, knowing that she'll have to find out what goes on.

Instead of nodding, like a assumed, he shakes his head. "Once a year I compile my notes and files, and I make a case to Ms. Blud, the staff here, and a judge, using facts I gathered to show if you are... Still considered mentally ill, or if you have had enough treatment, and are no longer considered a threat, so to speak, to society. So if you prove to me that you aren't crazy, then I can get you out of here." He smiles. "That's my end goal. Get you out of Graylock."

I nod slowly, excited that I could get out, as we walk through the double doors of the cafeteria. As we enter I once again see Liam and the boys sitting at our table, then I panic. Because I know they won't be able to get out. "N-Niall, if you help me get out, you have to help me get some boys get out too? Please? They're my best friends." I beg, tugging on his shirt sleeve. "Please!?"

He looks a little startled at first, but he slowly nods. "Okay, I'll see what I could do."

*Niall's Point of View*

She leads me to the table where, presumably, her friends sit. One man who looked a year or two older than me, with messy blondish brown hair, and blue eyes. He points to himself, and says. "I'm Louis, nice to meet you." He smiles and I introduce myself.

The other boy also looks a little older than me, but not by much. He's got light brown hair, and chocolatey brown eyes. "Liam. It's good to meet you." He says with and nod, and I nod back, with a smile.

I glance at Avery and she seems to be starring in between the two boys, smiling softly, then she looks to me, and I give a nod, as I sit across from her, and I start to eat my lunch.

*Avery's Point of View*

Louis introduces himself first, then Liam. I look over to Harry, seated in between Liam and Louis, as Harry introduces himself, then I glance at Niall, and he gives a small nod, before sitting down and eating. I sit next to Niall, in between him and Liam. Liam, Louis, Harry and I don't eat anything, like usual, but Niall seems to have a full meal packed. He's got fruit, lots of chocolate candies, a PB and J sandwich, and a can of soda, stashed in his blue lunch box.

I talk with Liam and Louis throughout lunch, but Harry stays quiet, not talking much, but then again, when he gets near a therapist, he tends to get quiet, so I don't bother to ask him about it.

"So did you hear why Bob got fired?" Louis asks us. Bob is one of the guards here that... Really likes woman and is probably a sex offender, which is why he works... Worked here.

Liam, Harry, and I shake our heads. "Why? Did Ms. Blud finally catch him jacking off in the back hallway?" I ask, smiling as the guys chuckle, knowing I'm probably right. Liam and Louis have both caught him at least four times on different occasions.

"No but Molly" Molly is one of the staff here, and happens to be a kiss ass for Ms. Blud, "Was doing rounds and going to the solitary rooms, and she walked passed Shelly and him, in her cell and -from what I've heard- Molly heard moans, and she walked in on her giving him a blow job. I heard Bob got fired and Shelly got 40 whips, and a week in solitary." Louis finishes saying.

Usually, the punishment for a patient giving a staff member a blow job wouldn't be so severe if it was Liam, Louis, Harry or I that got caught. Shelly's here because she's a sex addict, a nymphomaniac as it was called in her diagnostic. So she got a very severe punishment. If I were to get caught giving Liam a blow job, we would each get about 10 whips, and probably one or two days in solitary. But If I were to do that to Niall, I'd probably get 20 whips, and three or four days in solitary, and Niall wouldn't have been fired.

I wrinkle my nose a little. Talking about sex and jacking off I'm fine with, but when it comes to oral, I'm repulsed.

Niall speaks up. "Wait, does that happen a lot here? Do the staff get fired often?" He asks surprised.

I nod, and say. "Yeah, some people have been here for years, think about the built up sexual frustration! Especially if your a sex addict! It depends on how many times you get caught to be fired. You get caught once, you get a warning. Get caught a second time, you lose payment for a week. Get caught a third time, you're fired. But that's all relative. Have sex with a patient ten times, get caught once, it's not a big deal. Also, if the warden likes you as a worker you'll just get a warning if the patient isn't a nympho, and they said it was mutual, but the patient will still get punished." I finish saying. "It's really unfair."

"But what if your like gay?" Niall asks us again.

"There was a girl here... She a was lesbian, and they showed her pictures of girls she thought were attractive, then they gave her this stuff in her blood stream that made her vomit. Then after that they would force her to have sex with a guy that was here. It was terrible. They would put her in electroshock therapy at least once a week on top of that." I shake my head as I speak. "It's terrible what they did, finally her parents wanted to visit, and when they did they stopped all treatment, and brought her home... I have no idea how she's doing now."

Niall shakes his head. "Oh gosh... I had no idea... What else goes on here?" He asks in horror.

"A lot of things that we don't know. Did you know that there is a second... Treatment building here?" I ask him, and he shakes his head. "It's in the basement. No one goes down there. I heard the guards talking once and there was a man that cut off the skin on his face and then sowed it on upside down, and the other stories get worse from there." I say softly and Niall looks like he's about to puke.
