"So you think that Dave's been ghosting you? Frankie asked, "Yes he hasn't respectto my text, I went to his house he wasnt there? Miles said, "it's almost been a month. "Do you think something happened to him?

"He's in his room the lady says, "god this place is so...eery bianca says. "Well yeah cause it's a mental hospital what do you think? Drew said. "Can someone fill me in on what happened why is dave here? Holly j asked. "He went missing for almost half a month and then he's here miles says. "His parents said that he hasn't spoke a word ever since he was put in here miles says. "Man he's been through so much drew says, as they walked down the long white hall they saw a few kids hanging out in a fairly large room.

"It means Kitten Your love I swear!, "Don't say it again Isaiah"

"Ok this is the room miles says as they stood outside of the door, "maybe one of us should go in drew says, "Yeah we shouldn't startle him. "Miles I think you should-, "move loser's holly j said as she walked in, "I guess we'll wait Bianca said. As holly j walked in she saw that the room was empty, "hey guys he's not in here she said. "What? Miles says as he walked in and scanned the room, "maybe he finally decided to cut the cord haha drew says. The three of them looked back at him, "you couldn't keep your mouth shut for 3 seconds huh? Bianca told him. "So what should we do holly j asked, "Umm we're in a mental hospital..Hospital trip let's turn up!! Drew yells, "See that's what we're not gonna do Bianca says.

"Instead we're gonna go look for dave Bianca said as she grabs drew's hand as starts walk down the hall, "ok so we need to check the break room just incase Bianca says. As they found the break room they walked in and saw a few kids sitting on the couch, Some were playing Uno and watching tv.

"Um hi hello who are you? A lady asked as she approached them calmly. "Oh hi my name is Bianca and this is drew we are here to visit dave but he wasnt in his room. Drew looked at the nametag that she was wearing. *Mills* She flipped through her clipboard and tapped on the paper, : he's in therapy right now he should be out in a few she says, "Is their somewhere I could wait? Bianca asked, "Yes down the hall there should be somewhere to sit she says. "Thank you Bianca says, "alright drew I'm going and your staying here she says as she pats him on the shoulder and leave.

"Oh kid just a heads up don't let those kids con you out of your money, There kinda street smart she says.

As Bianca walked down the hall she saw a few chairs and sat down.

Manny👑: Guess you didn't mean what you wrote in that song about me..😔

Bianca💜🗡: Huh what song?

Manny👑: Cause you said forever now I drive alone past your street😔

Bianca💜🗡: Those edibles must've hit hard..

Bianca heres the door open and looks up from her phone, "Well dave I must say your progressing tremendously The therapist said as she and dave walked out of the room, "Hey dave Bianca said as she stood up in front of them, "oh dave you have some visitors the therapist said as she smiled at them and walked back into the room. "Hi he replies, Bianca looked at dave up and down he looked so fragile, Scared and weak. "How are you doing she asked, "I'm doing fine he said as they started walking back down the hall, "You cheated you flying fuck!, "Its bot my fault you don't know how to play Uno!, "Drew come on Bianca says.

Drew slammed the cards on the table and left, "Oh dave wassup drew said, Dave waved at him and started walked to his room. Miles and holly j we're conversating, "Oh my god dave miles said as he got up from his seat and hugged him, The three of them left the room to give them some space. "Ow dave silently whispered as he pushed back, "Dave how long has it been since you ate your so..skinny miles says. "I just ate like a few days ago he said as he walked and sat on his bed. "A few days ago? Miles sat on the bed with him and sat in silence. Dave stared at the wall with a blank facial expression, Miles touched Dave's hand. Dave then jumped and put his hands up in front of his face, he them moved away from miles. Miles looked at him sadly, "i-im sorry dave said, Miles saw cuts and scars on Dave's arms, Dave saw him looking at his arms and pulled his sleeves down and looked down at his lap. Miles didn't know what to do I mean he went through it with Esme but not with a guy.

"Dave what happened miles asked, Dave looked up and looked at him "I don't want to talk about it he said, he looked at miles and tried to smile, "Im sorry if I'm defensive he says, "No no don't apologize it's fine really miles says, "How's your tourettes? He asked. "I just took my pills I have to take them every so often hopefully I dont overdose he says. Miles didn't know how to respond to that so he just chuckled.

Can i get a hug? Miles asked. Dave again tried smiling but couldn't, So he just leaned in and gave him a hug miles hugged him a little too tight hurting dave. "Ow! Dave yelled as he pushed miles off the bed. Dave then got up and held his waist in pain, "Shit he whispered, Miles got up in confusion and walked towards dave, "Dave whats wrong? He asked. Dave covered his ear and said "STOP YELLING he yelled, he then backed up into the corner and sat down with his head down.

What happened to him?

"Dave honey its ok its ok Mills said as she tried calming him down. "No They're going to hurt me, Tell them to stop yelling at me! He cried, "I'm gonna go miles says as he leaves the room, "wait where are you going holly j asked. "I have to go home he says as turns back around and leave.

"Wait so how was he acting Hunter asked, "He was acting scared like we were going to hurt him and every time i hugged him..it would hurt him". "Mentally? Hunter asked. "No he would hold his waist like it was in pain, and he got all defensive when i touched his arm". "Did he have anything on his arm?. "Yeah he had scars and cuts on it". "I-i just want to know what happened to him because i feel like someone did something to him and i want to know". He says. "Did he say what happened Frankie asked, "no he said that he didn't want to talk about it so I didn't pressure him too. "That was probably the best Frankie says. "Mhm hunter says as he gets up and grabs his keys.

"And where are you off to Frankie asked, "Off to none of your business he says as he flips her off and leave.

Dave was sitting on his looking at his scars and cuts, horrible flashbacks coming back to him. *You don't wanna talk...Fine..Hans get the knife, Looks like you won't be eating for a few more days boy* "Hey dave honey you have someone here to visit you Mills said, (who would want to visit me?) "Mm I remember this place hunter said as he walked in and admired the room, "what are you doing here? Dave asked as he got up and walked to the corner of the room.

"Im not gonna hurt you Baby i just came here to visit nothing special he said, Dave still stood in the corner of the room, Hunter sighed and walked over and grabbed Dave's arm and pulled down the sleeve, "What are you doing?! Dave asked as he tried jerking his arm away. "Tell me dave what happened, why are you so..This? Hunter asked as he let go of his arm. "I don't want to talk about it dave said, "I really didn't want to do this hunter said as he grabbed both of Dave's hands and pin them against the cold wall. Hunter was fairly tall but not taller than miles, he looked down at dave and stared in his eyes, "Who else knows about what happened to you dave? He asked. Dave stood their silently, "M-my parents". He says quietly, "Good boy hunter says as he lets go of Dave's hands and gives him some space. "See it wasn't that hard right?. Dave nodded "Oh I bought you something open it later ok? Hunter said.

"I understand that hugs isn't your Feng shui right now so I'll be leaving he said as he left the room silently. On the top of the gift box there sat a letter, *Aiden* dave opened the letter and started reading it.

"Please..Your finally getting out of this hellhole we have to celebrate lets go out to eat miles says, "Im not hungry dave said as he grabbed the rest of his clothes from the receptionist, "I wasn't asking you plus I'm pretty sure you haven't eaten in days, Your getting skinnier by the second. All of a sudden dave slammed his hand on the table causing a few stares. "I appreciate for your criticism on my weight but that is none of your concern, So i don't eat for a few days, weeks top what are you gonna do leave me?! Miles stops there shocked and didn't know what to say, "did you take your meds? Miles asked.

"Yes i took my god damn meds you saw me take them dave said angrily as they walked towards the elevator. "I was just making sure. As they got into the elevator miles pressed the button to the 1st floor, as they went down dave felt sick to his stomach and felt like he was about to throw up. "Dave are you feeling ok? Miles asked as he reached for Dave's arm, Dave jerked away and held his hand to his mouth. As soon as the elevator door opened dave dropped his bags and ran to the nearby restroom. Miles grabbed the bags and looked for the bathroom nearby, as he walked into the bathroom he saw one bathroom stall door closed, "Dave..are you ok? He asked. *flush* he heard the toilet flush as dave stumbled out now holding his stomach. He wiped his tears and washed his hands and just walked out.

Miles took off after him, "Dave slow down what happened are you ok? He asked, "I'm fine miles I'm just tired ok? He said as they both walked out of the hospital, They walked to the car and miles threw the bags in the trunk. "What do you want eat he asked as he drove off, Dave started crying "Dave whats wrong? He asked as he gave a concerning look. "I can't eat, I don't want to eat, I just want to starve, maybe I'll go out quicker", He says. Thats what made miles alarmed, he then parked in a nearby McDonalds parking lot. "Dave why won't you eat please just tell me he said softly, dave then started crying uncontrollably "They w-wouldn't let me eat, they starved me miles I'm sorry i was scared". "Who dave? Who? He asked, "i-i-i can't he said as he reached over and grabbed miles and didn't let go. Miles hugged him back tightly, Dave's torso was still bruised and in pain but he didn't care.

"Its ok he said as he kissed dave on the forehead and continued hugging him. "But please..Tell me what happened. Dave let go of miles and and looked at him, he then lifted his shirt to show black bruises on his torso, "Omg dave miles said as he touched the bruises, Dave whimpered a little but kept calm, "Who did this to you? He asked. Dave didn't say anything, "Dave look at me miles says as dave looks at him directly in the eye, "I love you..And I want to protect you but I can't do that if you won't tell me what happened", "So will you please tell me what happened? He asked sincerely.

"Yes.
