Welcome to the... Asylum?

Chapter 17

"Hi, I'm Frank," he said as I stood up and stopped leaning on him, finally able to. "I figure I should

formally meet you." He smiled. He has a nice smile.

"Lyla." I gave him a small grin and shook his hand. 

"So, why are you here Lyla?" he asked. He took a few steps forward and I followed him out the door. 

"Panic attacks, as you just saw, and major depression disorder." I followed him, no idea where we

were going.

"Oh, I'm here for being suicidal." he ran his fingers through his hair.

"Oh," I had no idea what to say. "Is it nice here?" I wondered; I really hope it's not like the movies... I

really do...

"Yeah, you will meet some nice people, after I check you into the nurse to see if you're okay that is." 

So that is where we were going. All of a sudden my knees got really weak and I tumbled to the hard

floor. Frank caught me right before I hit the floor. 

"I've got you," he mumbled as he picked me up bridal style. I giggled and wrapped my arms around his

neck.

"My prince!" I giggled, jokingly, kissing him on the cheek. He grinned.

We turned a corner and I saw a sign that said, "Nurse!" on a door. I heard footsteps behind us as Frank

put me down on the floor.  It was a brunette guy, kind of cute, but looked tormented. 

"Hey Mikey!" Frank said to him, trying to be friendly. 

"You've got a new lady friend," Mikey snarled at him. "Over Gerard already or are you gonna screw

him over again?" he spat the words out.

"Mikey she's not-" Mikey rolled his eyes, shook his head and walked off. Frank sighed, "Gerard is

Mikey's older brother." Frank shoved his hands into his jean pockets and looked up at me.

"He asked if you were over Gerard, does that mean you're gay?" He smiled and laughed shyly as he

nodded. Darn, well that's a shame. "That's cool." He smiled a little more at my acceptance. "So the nurse's office?" I jabbed my thumb over my shoulder at the door.

"Oh right! Come on." He put his hand on my back and guided me into the office. I was nervous.

Jamie's POV

"Hi Jamie." Gerard smiled at me as I walked into the media room. I smiled and waved before I sat with

him on the couch. "You're not talking anymore?" I looked up at him to see the frown that I could hear in his voice.

I shrugged and leaned on him as I turned my attention to the TV screen. "Ghost Hunters?"

"Uh yeah; nothing's on." I nodded as he wrapped his arms around me and held me. He sighed, "Oh, hey

Mikey." I looked over at my angry looking boyfriend and smiled.

He plopped onto the couch and pulled me out of Gerard's arm and onto his lap. I started petting his hair

like he was a puppy when he pressed his chin to my shoulder. "I need to talk to you." He whispered in my ear and I nodded before hopping up.

Mikey stood up behind me and grabbed my hand. The brother's looked at each other before Mikey

spoke, "We'll be right back." Gerard nodded a little and Mikey started pulling me out of the room.
