I sat on the bed staring at the wall, I was able to at least be outin less then twenty four hours. They could only hold me for so longbefore letting me out. They couldn't keep me longer without provingthat I had to lose my autonomy to myself and while my plans to leaveto another continent and explore the entire world with lovers I hadjust met was 'dangerous, reckless, and at best would end up in aunhappy relationship' they couldn't stop me.


They would be right, but what we had was different. So verydifferent. Their souls were wrapped around mine. We were more and ourlove deeper then they knew. Normally yes that would be what I wouldsay. But not in this situation, which really was different; thiswasn't just some random person, it was...it was just different. Justis.


I froze up when I heard locks jingling and sat up looking aroundworried. What reason would they have to come in this late.Immediately all the scary movies I've watched and stories I've read Idon't think it can be good so I hurry to the bathroom leaving it ajarto throw them off and because I don't think I can shut it quietly andhurried to the linen closet that held two changes of scrubs andtowels and wash rags. I slipped in and shut it quiet.


I covered my mouth trying to control my breathing as I heard a softvoice. "Name?" I didn't recognize the voice and that scared meeven more, "come out Name, we know you are here." It continued,letting me know that there was more then one. More then one but howmany? Two? Three? Four? More?


"Please come out Princess Consort," you froze and gasped theyprobably heard you and continued on more confident. "King Consortand Queen Consort are very worried, at least let them know you areokay."


"Lily and Jason?" You questioned slowly opening the closet doorglancing out and seeing the pink skinned man and green skinned womangave a sigh of relief. "How did you guys sneak in?"


"You picked the wrong place to hide, on the roof there is a hiddenlatch that leads into our world." The man says looking very stern.


"I wish I knew that ahead of time! I'd have been back three daysago!" I couldn't believe it, all this time I just wanted to be backwith Jason and Lily and I could have asked to be put in the'gardening program' where there is a green house on the roof andcould slipped away when no one was looking.


"What?" He echoed and the woman looked confused.


"Princess Consort, are you here by your own free will?" She askedand this time it was my turn to give her a confused look.


"Of course not. At least half the people here are not here by theirown will." I pointed out and they looked at each other before atyou. "Do you two not know what this place is?" I asked and theynodded.


"Yes, a psychiatric hospital, but didn't you sign yourself up?"The man asked and I shook my head. Did they honestly think that? Thenagain there are people here who just needed help and got it, which isvery good as well people who really are a danger to themselves orothers but I am not. You'd really have to squint to say that I was adanger to myself even if this was a normal situation.


"No, I was apparently a 'danger to myself or others' to myself, Iwas able to give my family an excuse of why I'd be gone and they saidI was a danger to myself." You explained and the woman let out asad cry and wrapped her arms around me, though I didn't know herafter these few days I needed that hug.
