13. Ethen

"You won't hurt her.. right Jason?" I say as Charles, Jason,and I trudge down the corridor. Jason and Charles glance at each other then both snap their heads at me. "Why do you care? You sent her here anyways?" Jason snaps. I stare down at the grotesque floor then back into Jason's soulless eyes. I remain speechless. Charles continues to stare at me with this freakish look and I am utterly confused. Does he know? No he can't know I love her. Yes, Everly did swear and holler at me but I see her point of view. I can't believe I did this. They are gonna beat and screw her up til she actually does belong here. In this god forsaken asylum. What have I done.

"You and Charles will stay in this room." Jason motions to a bright blue room filled with rabbits along the trim of the walls and a giant Red Robin in the center of each of the walls. One Robin happened to be covered by a poster that says "Kingston, a place you can call home!" It had a picture of what looked like the dirty old room with the tv down stairs. There were family's who looked like they were having a great time doing whatever the hell you were supposed to do there. They seemed almost brain washed, as if they were forced to have this much fun.

Putting that some how terrifying poster aside I see two perfectly queen sized beds made. Covered in white and blue sheets with small white roses all around the edges of the blue covers. The pillows themselves looked like they were created by clouds themselves. I hop up and plop right down on the soft mattress. I feel the comfort of my body slowly sinking in to the silk. My head touches the pillow. I was right, they were so soft. You would never in a million years guess this room belonged to an asylum. I watch Jason show Charles the bathroom. "Is that fancy soap?!" Charles shouted. Jason chuckled. I simply close my eyes and drift off to sleep. Yet to find what awaited me that night.
