27. HOME

The doc still had his microphone on, and I could hear him talking clearly amongst the other docs...

''Where did you find him?'' one doc asked.

''He was hiding under the bleachers in the garden area of Section A. We found him a little while after that fight broke out at playtime between Trent Wilmore, Jake Powers and Kent Matthews.''

''Poor kid, doesn't even know which day it is'' another doctor said apologetically.

''That's where your wrong'' the doctor with the mic smiled ''you see, his mind actually believes that he escaped this facility. He believed it so much that somewhere in his subconscious, he also turned his friends, even enemy, into characters along his journey. If you ask me...we're looking into the mind of a genius ladies and gentlemen''

All fourteen other docs began rapidly writing on their clipboard, hanging on with vast interest as to what the lead doctor was saying.

Suddenly one of the doctors eyes widened when he caught a sight of the red light indicating the microphone still on. He quickly switched it off, a panicked look on his face as his eyes met mine.

Suddenly a door to my left appearing out of nowhere, opened. It was probably there all along, just concealed by the heavy padding.

I watched as two large doctor's walked in, and was immediately lifted up and carted away to another cell.

On the way, given everything that I'd just learnt, there was no denying who I saw standing off to the corner, staring at me quietly...

''Paige...?'' I whispered my eyes wide with happiness!

The doctor pulled me back, as if to protect her from me ''I'm sorry Johnathan'' he said ''but that's not Pai-''

''Paige, please....'' I begged, ignoring the doc while trying to reach out to her.

''Dean...'' a small voice whimpered.

The doctors all turned and looked in shock at the petite figure of Rachel Meyers, holding the hem of her skirt and smiling at me.

''Did she just....speak?'' one doc asked, his eyes wide with fascination as she Rachel had never uttered a single word to anyone since being admitted into the facility.

''She did a little more than that'' the other doc observed ''...she also called him 'Dean''

They both jotted something on their clipboards, then continued dragging me to a small cell in a separate section of the facility I've never seen before.

I became scared that I would never see the light of day again, let alone any of my friends.

''Don't be afraid Johnathan'' one of the docs said before shutting the door ''...we see something very special in you, we just need to run some tests that's all'' he smiled, and gently shut the door behind him.

I still hadn't fully processed all what was happening, I mean there had to be some sort if reasonable explanation to all this, there just had to be...right?

But there wasn't.

I was here, because I deserved to be here. I was crazy, I knew that now, but if it wasn't for Dean, I would be crazy and bored.

I chuckled to myself at how delusional I was.

At least I mad you smile

Dean!

I'm here buddy, I'll always be here.

And that was good enough for me.

The End.
