"Yeah, no shit. Doesn't mean I can't hear you." She muttered under her breath, resting her head in her hands.
"Yeah, no shit. Doesn't mean I can't hear you." She muttered under her breath, resting her head in her hands.
Lochlin's eyebrows shot up. "Okay, so you're an eight year old who can read minds and swears, and somehow landed in the most secure mental institution this side of the Atlantic ocean. Damn."
“I’m ten thanks. I’ve been in four foster homes, two other hospitals, and now this place.” She sighed quietly.
Tyler’s eyes widened slightly, glancing over at Lochlin, then frowning a little. “Why were you so shy around the nurse earlier.
Lochlin whistled quietly. "Also, why are you here?"
“I act shy because if I seem sensitive and vulnerable people are nicer to me which makes them easier to manipulate.” She said, glancing up and the both of them. “I am here because the other places weren't secure enough.”
"Well, that wasn't very smart of you to say," he chided, clicking his tongue in a playful manner. He seemed largely unfazed by the announcement…. for now. "Why were you in the other places?"
“Why are you asking me so many questions?” She replied bitterly.
"Hmm, I don't know," Lochlin answered, sarcasm lacing its way between the words he spoke. "Maybe because I'm sitting right next to the youngest kid in Greenwood (that was the name, right?) Mental Institution?"
(Ye)
“Well wasn’t there a youngest person before I got here?” She asked. Tyler looked between the two of them, wondering which one would last the longest.
(lmao I love this child)
"The youngest person was Brent Haylock at sixteen," he stated matter-of-factly. "He didn't last a week."
(Yee me too. She’s one of my main characters and I love her)
“Well I intend on lasting longer than a week.” North rolled her eyes. “A little pathetic if you ask me. It’s just a big building with locked doors and a bunch of mentally unstable idiots.” She said, eyeing the other people in the room.
(:D
G’morning
How’re you?)
Lochlin burst out laughing, “Just a big building filled with unstable idiots, she says.”
(I’m okay, hbu?)
North laughed a little as well. “It’s true though, you’re one too.”
(Nervous)
“The fact that you think you’ll be okay here is hilarious,” he finished, wiping a pretend tear from his eye.
(for what?)
"I don't think I'll be okay. I know I'll be okay." She said, her laugh turning to a glare. "Everyone here is scared. They feel threatened by each other and won't do anything to you unless you do something to them."
(Music competition)
“You’ve got a lot to learn, kid,” he chuckled. “Take it from the guy who’s been here for six years.”
"Wow that's great, I'm so proud of you. Just because you're older than me, doesn't mean you have more experience even though that might be surprising to you." She retorted.
(good luck)
"Wow that's great, I'm so proud of you. Just because you're older than me, doesn't mean you have more experience even though that might be surprising to you." She retorted.
“I can pretty much guarantee that I have more experience than you, sweetheart,” he chuckled. “Try me.”
(good luck)
Thanks :)
(np :)
"Then how come you've been here for six years, huh?If you had any experience then you would've found the weakness of this place and used them to get out of here." She narrowed her eyes a little. "But I don't think you want to leave..I think you're scared of leaving because you have nowhere to go."
“I’ve escaped a total of twenty three times,” he said said slowly, “If the security guards or the cameras peppered literally everywhere where you can’t see them, the authorities outside will.”
"Why would you let the authorities catch you? If you knew you could get out, I doubt you would be that careless." She replied.
“Let the authorities catch me? *Let? Sweetie, every single criminal in this city hates me. Ever. Single. Gang. I hardly call that ‘let’.”
"That sounds like your problem, getting on the bad side of everyone. I'm not that surprised though." North sighed. "You're not that pleasant to be around."
Tyler held back a laugh, covering his mouth with his hand and glancing between them.
“Neither are you, short stuff,” he retaliated, crossing his arms.
Just as she was about to reply, the nurse came back and rested a hand on her shoulder. North's glare suddenly evaporated and was replaced with a shy, nervous look. "Sorry about that darling." The nurse smiled, glancing at Lochlin and Tyler.
Lochlin merely narrowed his eyes at the nurse, saying nothing.
“Okay then. Come with me sweetie and we’ll get you to your room.” The nurse said, taking North’s hand and helping her up.
Lochlin watched them go, an apprehensive look on his face.
