Chapter 20

Stiles

I walked up to the tall, white, asylum building as my dad stood behind me, just as I was about to walked threw the gate I heard Scott's dirt bike poll up us and he took his helmet off and got off. “Why didn't you tell me” Scott asked mad “because we wanted to avoid something like this” my dad said to Scott. “It's only 72 hours” I said hoping Scott will just let me go “this is the same place where Barrow came from” Scott said. “The guy who had a tumor inside him filled with flies” my dad said as someone walked out of the woods.

I looked behind Scott to see a girl with blond hair with a lot black streaks in it waring light jeans, a light blue shirt with a jean jacket over her shoulder. “Star what are you doing here” I asked Star as she walked over to us “what, you really didn't think I'd let you go into an asylum house for 72 hours by yourself did you” Star said to us.

I sighed and rolled my eyes at her “and what does Derek think about this” my dad asked Star. “He doesn't know, remember hes in jail” she said with a smile “Scott, I saw an MRI that looked exactly like my wife's and it terrifies me. I'm headed down to L.A. tomorrow to talk to a specialist” my dad said as Star stood next to me. “Then why are you putting him in here” Scott asked still mad. “He's not, It was my decision” I said “Stiles, I can't help you if you're in here” Scott said.

“And I can't hurt you” I told Scott as he drew silent “listen I'm going to be there to make sure nothing happens to him Scott” Star said to Scott as Scott sighed. Star went to walk threw the gate “by the way if they ask I'm your daughter” Star said to my dad and his eyes went huge. “What, no” my dad said “its ether that or Stiles go in there by himself, your choice” I said.

“Fine, come on” my dad said as I did a small smile before Star, my dad, and I walked threw the gate and into the building. “For the first 72 hours there's no phone calls, no e-mails, no visitors. We will be taking you from here to a brief physical and in the morning you'll be assessed by a staff psychologist, speak to a social worker and attend group therapy” the nurse said to Star and as I kept getting side tract.

Stiles looked like he was seeing and hearing this but luckily no one seemed to notice but me. “I feel like we're forgetting something” Stiles's dad said to me “you two will be wearing these”. The nurse handed both of us some white pants, top, and shoes and continued to talk “no laces allowed, you don't have a belt, do you” she asked us “no” Stiles and I both said at the same time. “Please empty your pockets in here” she said as she set a bucket in front of us and we emptied out our pockets.

“Your pillow, your pillow, we forgot your pillow” Stiles dad said “dad, it's okay” Stiles said “no, no. You're never going to be able to fall asleep, we... we got to go back” “it's fine, Dad. I don't need it” Stiles said “I can't believe I forgot it, I mean, every time that we've ever stayed in a hotel, the first thing you pack is your pillow” Stiles's dad said trying to not freak out.

“You can bring it tomorrow, it's all right” Stiles said trying to calm his dad down. “Okay, you know what, stop, stop, enough. Stiles, get your stuff I'm not checking you in here if you're not gonna get one good night's sleep” Stiles's dad said but Stiles interrupted him. “Dad, I haven't had a good night's sleep in weeks” they hugged each other “Stiles, Star, this way please” the nurse said as we were about to fallow her Stiles's dad grabbed my arm, luckily no one noticed. “Keep my son safe” he said almost mad “I will” “no promise me” I was silent for a moment.

“I will” I said “I give you my word I would protect him” I finished as Stiles let go of my arm and I walked with Stiles and the nurse. We walked up the stairs to go to our rooms until Stiles looked up “hey, do you see that” I looked at Stiles and looked up to where he was looking at. Stiles went to run up the stairs as the nurse chased behind him. “Stiles, wait for me” the nurse said as I ran faster then them and ran up to where the man was with a rope tied around his throat about to hang himself.

I ran up to where he stood, but when I was about to catch him he jumped as I tried to grab him arm but it was too late as the nurse screamed when she saw the man. I ran halfway down the stairs as Stiles met me halfway “what happen” Stiles asked me “I tried, I tried to save him but he” I couldn't finish as Stiles hugged me. “Its not your fault” Stiles said to me “Stiles, somethings wrong, I don't think we're safe here” I told Stiles as he was silent.
