she could hear the voices in her head. they were pounding against her skull as they begged to be let out. they pleaded to the hostess to free them, to let them have their freedom. and she did not obey. the cushioned white walls that surrounded her kept her screams in her own mind.

the old dingy stray jacket kept her arms around her own body to keep from clawing at her head, instead she banged it and whispered about a rabbit with a pocket watch.

"tick tock," she'd say. "tick tock, tick tock."

all signs pointed to schizophrenia, but ethan chose no reason to not love her. she was still the girl he fell in love with, but she just changed. she could no longer control herself in the way she used to. but yet, ethan could not let her go.

he'd visit her once a week when she was at her best. they would pull y/n into the garden room where she would sit at a table and whisper 'tick tock' even more. and ethan would simply sit and talk about his day and how he was feeling.

but today was different. ethan couldn't tell why, but it changed. there was something different in the air and in his mind. he could've sworn to himself that he heard someone talking to him while he was driving to the mental hospital. he convinced himself that it was the wind, but he could hear a 'tick tock' that made him even more confused.

he chose to ignore the sound as he entered the hospital. he followed the procedures he did every time he visited and he made his way to the garden room where y/n sat rocking, whispering 'tick, tock.'

ethan folded his hands together over the table, meeting y/n's eyes that didn't seem to meet his. "today was pretty weird. grayson and i filmed a video and when i was leaving his house it started to rain. i even saw a white rabbit running into a bush, which was pretty odd. but he's doing good, he misses you," ethan sighed. "we all do."

suddenly, y/n's eyes met ethan's. he was stunned and a little nervous. this was the first time in months that she had even bothered to stop her whispering and pay attention to ethan. but her words made his heart drop.

"he found you. he found you!" she began to scream. she struggled to get out of her stray jacket, but the guards came and sedated her before she could do anything.

ethan sat with a shocked face. what exactly happened and who found him?
