Bryce sat up and put his arm around Ashanté, both to comfort her and assure himself he was safe.
"So what's new?" he asked.
Ash wiped her face. "I just want all this to stop. I don't want to go home with my parents, and I don't want to stay here. I just want to die."
"When you say you don't want to stay here do you mean here at the clinic or here in town? Because I don't want you here at the clinic anymore either. This place saved my life once, but they obviously don't know what they're doing with you. How did you get past the reception area to climb up here, anyhow?"
"I went up the staircase inside the building. There's a door to the roof on the third floor."
Bryce slapped his head. "Argh! And that stupid doctor couldn't tell me that before I climbed all the way up that stupid ladder?"
Ashanté laughed a little, and Bryce put his head on his knees.
"Can we go down now?" he begged, and she nodded.
