"Andy, why are you here?"

"Andy we hear the murderer was being kept here?"

"Eleanora, is it true that you didn't kill your family?"

"Eleanora, is it true that your family was killed in front of you?"

"Is it true Andy  that you were held in the same facility as Eleanora?"

My hands were shaking as I held tightly to Remintgon. Reporters were surrounding the place as well as Andy's fans. Andy's fear had come true. He was friends with the framed murderer and It was about to be broadcasted.

We had security guards from the hospital surrounding us, keeping us safe. In front of me was Larisa. But she was focused more on getting us through the crowd than anything else.

"I'm so sorry," I cried to Andy.

"Just follow Larissa's orders and keep your head down, try to ignore them. I'll see you soon okay? I'm gonna talk to my manager and then I'll come visit you," He smiled. I nodded my head before grabbing his hand. He gripped it tight and then released the pressure.

"It's going to be okay," Remington kissed my head. I just nodded. As each camera flashed, my heart sped up faster and faster. I knew that I had to walk through this valley of death and survive. I could have an anxiety attack in the car,  but for now had to be calm.

"Go back to hell you fucking murderer," A man screamed from the crowd.

"I can't believe they let her out after what she did," I heard a woman tell someone. I kept my head down, but allowed my tears to fall.

"Don't kill anyone, don't kill anyone," I heard Andy mutter to himself.

"Don't beat the assholes, don't beat the assholes," Remington was also muttering to himself.

I grabbed their hands tighter as we started to get towards the end of the tunnel of people. We would soon be in the car and I would be heading back to the sacred minds institution.

I was happy to go back and tell everyone that I was okay. But I would miss the freedom. The smell of the fast food restaurants near by and the smell of gas coming from the gas stations near by. I just missed being outside.

"You should've died with your family, you murderous scum," a woman screamed at me.

I flinched at her unkind words, before gripping the boys closer to me.

"I swore to never hurt a woman," Andy sighed.

I don't know why so many people hate me. But I do know that there is no reason for it. I'm innocent and we all know that.

"Okay. I'm taking Eleanora with me. Everyone else get to your cars. This as far as you can go with us," Larisa spoke. I nodded my head before letting go of their hands.

"Thank you. I'll see you guys soon," I kissed Remington before hugging Andy and getting into the car.

"Andy?? Who is that woman? Is she apart of your family?" People began to flood around Andy and Remington. Emerson was already gone and headed to the hospital. He has left before any of us.

Larisa started the car and began to drive away.

"Listen. I'm still mad at you for what you did. But I acted inappropriately. You are not my friend, you are my patient. I am not allowed to have any relationship with you aside from working with you. I am to protect you. But until you're out of the hospital and are free for a couple of years, I cannot associate with you.  I should not have stormed out of the room like I did and I should not have left you alone. That can get me fired. But dammit-" she sighed.

"I'm sorry Larisa. I should have told you before. I didn't know it was an important thing. I've never done anything like that before. My parents used to handle it all for me," I explained. My eyes were still pouring tears and my anxiety was still high. But I swallowed it. Everything will be okay.

I watched as the world began to pass by. Shops, people, restaurants, etc. Everything just in slow motion passing through my line of vision.

I smiled as we passed a house. The lawn had rows and rows of roses. All red, but still very beautiful. There was an old lady tending to the roses.

I relaxed into my seat as I stared out the window. My heart rate began to relax. Everything was going to be okay. It had to be.

I looked at the clock in the car. It read 4:09 PM. I took a deep inhale before closing my eyes.

Before I knew it, we were back. It didn't feel real. I felt like I was going back to my own prison cell.

I lowered my head as we opened the door to the institution. The grass was greener than the first time I was here.

I walked into the door, I had flashbacks to the last time I was here.

"You can let her go now, sir. She won't hurt no one here," Auburn smiled at Ethan.

I felt chills go up my spine. It didn't feel that long ago, but it was almost a whole two years since I was placed here.

I was taken out of my thoughts by people yelling.

"Welcome back home El!!" The people screamed. I looked up to see Chris, Ashley, Emerson, Tyler, Josh, Sebastian, and Billie. I smiled.

"Hey guys," I walked away from Larisa to start hugging everyone.

"I'm so happy you're safe. Don't you ever scare me like that again," Chris whispered as he pulled me into a hug. He buried his face into my neck, holding me close. I rubbed his back in an attempt to keep him calm.

"I won't. I promise. I'm sorry for scaring you so much," I replied.

"I love you," He smiled.

"I love you too," I whispered, pulling away.

I went onto Ashley, then continued to make my way down.

Larisa send us out of the lobby and into the cafeteria. There we spent the rest of our day, talking  and getting more attached to each other.

And as each hour passed, I kept looking towards the door, waiting for Remington and Andy to appear.
