Asylum

Chapter 8 Part 2

Toby woke up in his room with Lilly sitting next to his bed and her eyes were glittering with tears "Toby! You're awake!" She cried out as she hugged him gently "I told you, they weren't going to break me." He replied, his hand on her shoulder, gently gripping it to reassure her "I know, but I got worried because you were asleep for two days and you didn't move." Lilly cried out, tears streaming down her face and Toby held her close to him "Everything's ok, Lilly. I'm ok, everything's going to be ok, trust me." Toby replied as he gently held her close to his chest 

Lilly's P.O.V. 

I thought Toby died, because he hasn't moved in two days, but fortunately, he woke up and he looked at me sadly. We have to get out of here. But...how though? There's guards and nurses everywhere; it's impossible to escape quietly without getting caught by somebody. They don't care; they will kill us without hesitation, or take us to the Wellness Center and do something horrific to us and we will meet the doctor who made this all happen...our nightmares come true when people meet him; I heard it's a worse place than the Play Center. The Play Center isn't even a playroom; it's where Amy and Beth take patients who 'misbehave' and "play" with them. I should  know, because I've been there multiple times; now Toby went there too. I'm glad he didn't suffer the aftermath of their methods. 

Lilly helped Toby out of bed and gently took his arm and walked him across the room to his closet and got him his pajamas "I can do this myself." Toby replied,  gesturing Lilly to move aside and put on his pajamas and walked to his bed and Lilly went to her side of the room 

Toby's P.O.V.

Lilly's treating me like a child; I don't know why. The stupid nurses didn't even hurt me much, they just did some weird operation and I don't remember the rest of what they did; but, all I can say is, wow. Just, wow. I can't believe I can't remember anything from yesterday and in the afternoon of today. Maybe I should try to remember what it was I was supposed to do today but never got around to doing it. Maybe tomorrow I'll do it; all I know is it was supposed to be with Lilly and I; but what was it? Oh, well. I sighed and turned off my light. 

Lilly laid in bed and began to ponder about what happened to Toby and why was he behaving that way. "What's going on in your head, Toby? Why are you being so weird? What did those nurses do to you?" She thought in her head, hoping to get a telepathical response from Toby, but instead of a reply, she heard him walk towards her bed with a flashlight and a backpack "Toby, what are you doing?" She whispered, furrowing her eyebrows in confusion "We're going to find a way out. You're right, this place isn't meant for us; we're going to die in here." Toby responded, pulling her out of bed and grabbing her clothes and shoving them into his backpack, gesturing her to put on her shoes "How are we going to get out? There's guards everywhere and the nurses will see us!" Lilly whispered looking into Toby's eyes "Trust." Toby replied, putting his hand on her shoulder "Trust? Trust?! What does trust have to with anything?!" Lilly whispered angrily, her eyes glaring at Toby "Just trust me." Toby replied, quietly opening the door "The stupid doctor forgot to lock the door, our plan is going good, so far." Toby replied confidently as he and Lilly quietly walked the narrow and echoing hallway to their escape
