<Chris P.O.V>

It's weird getting to know the 'Real Me' after finding out that I suffer from Schizophrenia it's been really stressful. Tiana has been helping me every step of the way. It kills me that she's not in love with me like how she was before...in my dream. Everyday when I see her I fall deeper in love with her. I want her to be mine but I don't know how.

I was in my room drawing in my sketch book waiting for Tiana to come so she can bring me my meds.

She'd come at 8:30 every morning and she would never be late. It was 8:29 and I was becoming eager to see my beautiful lady.

A minute later I heard a knock and Tiana walked in with my meds and a cup of water.

"Good morning Christopher"

I looked up and smiled at her "Good morning Nurse Williams"

"Chris you know you can call me Tiana, I don't mind" she smiled back.

"I know"

She walked up to me and handed me my meds. I swallowed them and drank the little cup of water.

Then she asked "Chris what are you drawing? Do you mind if I see?"

"Come sit" I patted down at the spot next to me.

Tiana sat down and I handed her my sketchbook. She admired each picture as she flipped through page by page.

Then she stopped at one picture and she looked at me "This is beautiful, is this me?"

I nodded "Yeah.... I drew it a couple of days ago, I couldn't get you out my mind so I had to draw you out."

"You're really talented Chris...Am I always on your mind?"

I grew a little nervous but I answered "Always"

After that I looked down at the floor but I felt Tiana looking directly at me burning a hole on the side of me head.

".... I have something planned for us today and I think your going to love it" She said touching my hand.

The little things she did for me felt unreal.She cared so much for a man she barely knew.

"What you got planned?" I asked.

Tiana responded "Its a surprise, put your shoes on and follow me."

"Uh...O-Okay sure."

I grabbed my shoes and put them on and I looked up to see Tiana smiling by my door. She reached out for her hand and I grabbed it gently before she led me out of my room.

As we were walking hand and hand down the hallway I couldn't help but notice the stares I was getting, mostly from the nurses.

Tiana looked at me and saw a worried look on my face then she noticed why I began to feel this way. "Don't worry about them, you're safe with me."

I nodded "Ok, but can you please tell me where we're going"

"You'll find out"

We walked downstairs to the lobby and I started to panic "T-Tiana What Are We Doing?! I'm Gonna Get In Trouble!"

I tried to back away but she calmed me down.

"Christopher look at me....it's going to be ok. I got authorization from your doctor that we can go out today, we just have to be back before 4:00"

I nodded and calmed myself down. Tiana grabbed my hand and brought me outside, I've been outside before but not like this.... I felt free.

We walked in the parking and went straight to her car. I don't know where she was taking me but I was ok with it. I sat in the passenger side and put my seatbelt on. I turned to my left to see Tiana putting the key in the ignition. She started the car and began to drive out of the parking lot.
