"Anyway what do you wanna do?" I asked
"I'm not sure honestly. I kinda just wanna be outside you know? I like the outdoors, being inside stresses me out."
"Well we could go out to the patio area but Martha has to come with us. We can't go alone." I explained
"It's better than being inside so let's do it."
We went back to our floor and found Martha.
"Hey guys everything okay?" She asked
We nodded.
"Yeah, but we wanted to ask you for a favor." I said.
She raised an eyebrow.
"What favor?"
"Could you take us out to the patio area. Chase hates being inside."

She looked at chase and he just shrugged.
"Sorry, but I feel like I'm suffocating in here." He said
"Fine come on."
She walked us to the patio area and we sat down.
Chase looked happy.
"Chase can I ask you something?" I said
"Yeah whats up."
"When you and your ex broke up did you ever feel like you were a shitty person?"
"I'm only asking because when my ex left me for another girl I felt like shit. I felt like I wasn't good enough for anyone and well after that I had to get checked into the high risk wing because I tried to commit suicide."
He looked at me with a frown.
"Well." He paused.
"I actually did try to you know. I took like a whole bottle of headache pills and a mix of others. I passed out and I woke up right where I started. It's really weird I know, but no one found out about that so I just kept it that way."
"I felt like a piece of shit, she left me for some guy who was like 10 years older than her, he was a lot more wealthier than me of course so I mean that's what made her leave. The money."
"When i was like 10 years old my parents were killed." I blurted out.
His eyes widened.
"Yeah... that's why I'm here. I have ptsd depression, adhd, bipolar depression, and a number of other things. All that was caused from what  I went through."
"Some random guy broke into our house and killed my parents and my sister, he um left me alive for some reason, so I also have survivors guilt."
"I've been here ever since then." I said as I lowered my head.
He didn't say anything.
Did I scare him? Was it a mistake actually telling him my story?
"I'm sorry to hear that. Honestly I get it. Something like that would totally Fuck someone up."
I nodded. "Yup and I'm that outcome."
I wiped my eyes.
"Anyway enough of that. I'm going to go see vinnie. He's in the high risk wing so he can't get out unless it's for like meals."
He smiled.
"Yeah go ahead I'll be here."
I waved bye and I went up to Vinnies room with another one of the nurses.
I entered the room and he was at his table coloring.
"Did you have fun with chase?" He asked sarcastically.
I rolled my eyes.
"Seriously? Dude me and him are just friends you should know this."
"Sorry I'm just insecure. You know how I am." He said
We sat on his bed and he just looked at me.
"Stop you're scaring me." I said
He laughed.
"Haha why?"
"You're just staring at me like I'm an animal, it's freaky." I said
He smirked.
"Oh I can show you freaky."
He leaned in and we started to make out.
He started to move his hand up my thigh and I jumped up.
"Um Im sorry but Im... Im just i Don't know." I said nervously.
"What? You're a virgin?" He asked
"How about let's not talk about it."
"It's okay if you are. I don't want you to feel uncomfortable." He said
I didn't say a word. I just stood there looking dumb.
"I lost mine when I was like 13. To this girl named Maddie who was like 16, we were both you know in the mood and well it just happened."
"We did it when the nurses and stuff were like on the graveyard shift, we knew they would be too tired to even check on us."
My eyes widened.
"What? How? What the hell?"
"Her room."
"How did you even have time?"
He laughed.
"Haha trust me one minute was enough for my 13 year old horny self."

I sat back down and I gave him a frown.
"I'm just not ready to take that step. I'm sorry."
I stood up and we said our goodbyes.
It was already lunch time and I went back to the patio to look for chase.
When I got there he was sitting down with the new girl.
I walked over to them and he smiled.
"Hey harp."
"Hey So I'm going to get lunch if you wanna come."
"Yeah actually."
He stood up and so did Emily.
"I'll see you around." He said to her.
We walked off and I hit his shoulder playfully.
"What was that."
He started to blush.
"Nothing it was a simple conversation, she was just getting to know me."
"What have you leaned about her so far?" I asked curiosity.
"She's from Montana, she likes spaghetti, she's 5'1, she hates seafood, she speaks Spanish, her favorite color is teal and she loves old Nickelodeon shows."
"Damn just marry her already." I teased.
This was good. Everyone was happy, no drama, no problems. My fear was that this wouldn't last long..
