LACEY'S POV:
"What's his name?"
"Luke," Katy breathed out.
My breath hitched, my heart stopped.
"What?" Katy asked slowly, eyes narrowing towards me.
"L-Luke what?" I questioned, trying to act normal but failed miserably by stuttering.
"Hemmings, why?"
I cleared my throat, "Luke sounds like a nice guy."
"Do you...know him?"
"Never heard of him," I lied, looking down at my notepad.
"Are you sure?"
"I'm not even allowed to go outside the walls anymore," I pointed out. "He's a runaway isn't he?"
She nodded.
"Yup, definitely don't know him."
"Suicide, why'd you try it?" I asked, trying to change the subject and not talk about Luke.
"I uh... I loved Luke, and now he probably thinks I'm dead and I can't go outside the walls, they're keeping watch on the patients apparently," she responded.
"I-I can't go outside either," I said.
"You wanna know what I find stupid?" Katy questioned me, crossing her legs.
"What?"
"They make you guys wear masks to go outside because the air is 'contaminated' yet your guys' backyards lead to the forests."
I never thought of that.
I shrugged, "they must have their reasons."
"They must be pointless and idiotic," she spat.

"See you tomorrow Tyler," I waved off as Tyler, my last patient, walked out of my office.
I began to clean up a bit when someone knocked on the door to my office.
"Come in," I said, closing a drawer.
I was shocked to see James come in, smirking.
"J-James?"
"Lacey," he smiled, walking over to my desk, hands behind his back.
"Y-yes? Did I do something wrong?"
"I don't like it when people break my rules" he said, ignoring my question.
"I...didn't break any rules," I replied, voice coming out a whisper.
"Are you sure about that?" He asked, propping an elbow on my desk, one hand still behind his back.
"I'm positive," I chocked out.
"Well, your little 'friend'...Luke was it, says otherwise. Why?" James asked through gritted teeth.
"Who's Luke?"
"Don't lie to me," he spat.
"Y-you have him?"
"Maybe," he shrugged.
"He did nothing, let him go!"
"Oh but he did, sweetheart. He's making you think," he whispered, now right in front of me.
"No he isn't."
"Where is he?" I asked, hands now shaking.
"That's none of your business!" James yelled.
"Y-yes it is!" I yelled back hesitantly.
"Don't talk back to your boss!" James shouted.
I flinched back, feeling a burning sensation on my cheek.
I felt a warm liquid run down my cheek, I lightly touched it and looked at my now bloodstained fingers.
"What the hell is wrong with you?!" I yelled, backing away from him.
That was probably the first time I'd ever cursed out loud.
"Everything," he smirked and walked towards me, pushing me up against my desk, hands now roaming my body.
"Stop!" I shouted, trying to push him away but he only drew closer until he was inches from my face.
"You're a pretty little one, I could 'forget' this, if you do me a favor," he said, voice filled with desire and eyes with pure lust.
"No James, s-stop!" I stuttered as his hands touched my bottom.
"You'll enjoy it," he remarked.
"Someone please, help!" I yelled at the top of my lungs.
"I don't like fighters," he pouted.
"And I don't like assholes!" I yelled, grabbing the stapler off my desk and hitting the side of his head with it.
He fell to the ground with a thud, tears streamed down my face as I soaked in what just happened.
I almost got taken advantage of, I hit a man unconscious.
I wiped at my eyes and left James to wake up later, I couldn't care less if I got punished, he touched me.
I quickly grabbed my satchel and walked out of my office.
Wait, Luke.
Should I go check his office?
