"Where'd you get this?" Alice asked, pointing to The Lobotomist that lies on my dresser.

After breakfast, Alice followed me to my room, desperate for entertainment as she was finished with her morning work.

Florence was still working, otherwise Alice would've bothered her instead.

"Oh, that?" I stall, trying to think of an excuse but fail, "Mr. Malik lended it to me."

She pursed her lips, "Huh, that's nice of him. Have you gotten any other medical journals from him?"

"Indeed, i received one on bloodletting last week." I tell, trying to make my bed.

When my eyes lay upon Harry's orange blanket, my heart flutters. I take the blanket, ball it, and place it inside a dresser drawer.

I can do without.

I don't need to think about him right now, i need to cool off and pretend that our kiss never happened.

If anyone finds out about what we did, we would be in big trouble. Although, Mr. Malik seems fond of Harry, so maybe Harry can get away with it.

"And he just gave this to you?" She asked, flipping through the pages of book, stopping to look at some diagrams of the brain and tools.

"Indeed, its due five days from now. I had asked for it once I saw the amount of journals he had, I've been interested in medicine as he is." I respond, finishing my bed and sitting on it.

"This wasn't from the top shelf, was it?" She asks, looking over at me.

"No," I shake my head, "It was from the bottom."

Does she know more about his journals?

"I see," She responds, looking back at the book, "It's very interesting, but too complicated."

"I agree," I chuckle but then tilt my head, "Why did you ask about its location?"

Her eyes flicker to mine, then to the floor, "I was just wondering, its nothing important."

"How would you know about journals being on the top shelf?" I ask watching as her face turns pale, "Its okay, Alice. I know he's hiding something too."

I hope shes not like Florence, i really hope shes not like Florence.

"What is he hiding?" She whispers, looking at me straight in the eye.

I glance at my door, making sure its shut, but not checking the hallway to see if anyone is there.

"I'm not sure, but i know it's something big. Lisa has been missing for two weeks now after Mr. Malik ordered her to relocate. He may be hiding her to cover up the pregnancy that he caused." I explain, repeating my theory from last night with Harry.

"He had sex with Lisa?" Alice gaps, her eyes bewildered, "How do you know?"

"I dont know for certain, but he and Dr. Fear are the the only people who really could have caused it." I shrug.

"What about- Eh, never mind." Alice shakes her head, dismissing her thoughts.

"Wait, who?" I prompt, wanting to gain as much information as i could.

"I was about to say Louis, but he's...she wouldn't," She made a face, "Nobody would, he's crazy."

Louis?

"Who's that?" I question, "I've never heard of him or seen him around."

But i guess that doesn't mean much since i'm fairly new.

"He's a former worker turned patient," Alice tells "For good reason though, he's crazy."

"What did he used to work as?" I ask, feeling confused.

Maybe Florence just didn't know about him, and that's why she told me there were only two male staff prior to my arrival.

After all, Florence would only see him during lunch. But maybe she might have hit on him, as she did with Harry.

No, dont think about your friend like that, Louis couldve not been her type.

"Actually, you're the one who replaced him. He was a janitor along with Avery, but thats about as far as my knowledge extends." She shrugs, closing the book and placing it back down on the dresser.

I wonder why he was turned into a patient...

"So you wouldn't know of why he was turned into a patient here?" I continue my interview.

I'm sure Louis has to spend the rest of this life rotting away here. Although admission only requires two testimonies, 8 legally approved signatures are needed to release someone.

I dont think this place even has 8 legally approved practitioners.

"The reason i'm uncertain, but after his incarceration the staff had a meeting led by Mr. Malik about something or other. I really should have payed attention, but i did know he mentioned reading the handbook." She explains.

What is with him and that handbook?

"I see, thank you," I say, feeling even more eerily about this place, "The things that go on in this place scare me. Sometimes i just want to leave."

"Dont leave, you can't." Alice whines, walking to me and clutching my hand in despair. She pouts and widens her eyes, trying to make herself seem sad.

"I wont, i wont," I sigh, reassuring her, "You're right, i can't."

"You can't? Do you have a contract?" She questions, raising a brow.

"No, i am in debt to this institute. I pay them off by work, i thought it would be easier to directly pay off my debt instead of working somewhere else and dividing the pay." I clarify, flopping on my back to lay on the bed.

She nods her head, "As long as you're not leaving, i'll be okay."

This is random, but i was looking at old edits of Harry and i just :((( He was so smol and such a ray of sunshine. Like the quote where hes like "I've always wanted to be someone who just doesnt care about what people think, but i dont think im that person."

I CRI ERRTIME! but i feel like he is that person now, and im so happy for him :)

Questions :D

1) idk dudes i like talking to you guys, tell me about your day :) what'd you guys get for Christmas?

2) This was kinda a filler chapter, but we found out more evidence! Louis is a character, what do you think he did?

3) Do you think Alice is on Niall's side? She didn't flip like Florence did XD

4) On my spam book (Its called the life of sara bc im lame and cant think of something better) I think i might occasionally write one shots or put out prompts. So, if you're interested in that, you should check it out ;) no writing is up yet, but soon.

Bye men, sara=out
