Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved.

Scarlet POV-

Fucking crazy people in this joint. I'm literally about to jump out of the window if I don't get my jello.

Its not just the jello either. Everything is either white or really light blue that can be mistaken for off-white.

In 20 minutes, I have to attend a meeting where people basically talk about where I am on the scale of crazy, then decide how long I stay here.

I don't understand why I even have to go, I don't get to speak. They all decide for me, but whatever helps them sleep at night.

It has been a few hours since I read that journal entry from Mason. I am honestly terrified. This bitch was so crazy, a voice in his head was telling him to do those things.

And apparently X was also in here the same time as Mason. I need to know who X is, so I can stop him before events are repeated from a over a month ago.

I hear a few people walk around outside my door, talking.

"I don't know, this could be dangerous. Remember what happened with Mason?" The first man said.

What? Mason? What are they talking about?

"Yes, I know, but if we don't, the whole branch will fall apart. That can't happen." The second man replied.

"The meeting is being held in the west wing tonight. If all goes as planned, we get our paycheck tonight." The second man spoke again.

Meeting for what? I hate now knowing things. But if I try to go, I could get caught. If I get caught, I could get hurt.

God, why do I always have to play the Velma role? Why can't I just be Daphne, its easier. I can fall in love with Louis, and do good in school, and not have to worry about shit I don't know.

But its so tempting.

"What time tonight?" The first man asks.

"Exactly Midnight." The second one spoke.

Okay, West wing, Midnight.

I can remember that.

I think they forgot someone is in this room, because they just went in front of my door to talk, then leave.

I begin to lay down on my bed when a lady enters my room.

Louis POV-

God. I miss her. She is in Purdey, and I can't visit her until they figure out how long she has to stay.

She doesn't belong there. She isn't crazy.

Its Saturday and I am staying home. Scarlet is gone and honestly, I don't want to be with anybody else.

I go downstairs to get food from the kitchen.

"Hey Boobear," My mum says.

"Hey," I say bluntly.

"What do you want to eat?" she asks, opening the fridge.

"Just an apple." I answer.

"Here," she says while handing me an apple. "I know you miss her, but it could be worse."

"I know. But, I just miss her." I say while the doorbell rings.

"I'll get it," I say.

I open the door to a distressed looking Niall.
