"What if we run away?" I ask Steel in the session next day. I will not go back to my father's house. I can't go back in there again. "We can't. Lila, people will look for you. They will think that you were taken again. It will be all over. We would not be able to go anywhere" Steel tells me and in truth I already knew that. I've tried to go over everything that might happen and what I, and we can do but everything that I come up with is a bad idea.

And none of them would ever work. "What can we do?" I ask him as he holds me tight. I feel like it's just the two of us here but even when Sylvia is here, I finally learned her name when I came to a session today since Steel addressed her as that name. "Nothing. For now. But I promise you that soon we will be together and no one will be able to stop it. Not even your father" He tells me but it's hard to believe him when we both know what kind of man my father is, he can get away with everything and anything.

"I could extend your stay here at the hospital, is that something that you're willing to do?" Sylvia asks me and I look over at her. She's looking at us with a warm look like always but I can see in her eyes that she's happy, for us? I'm not sure. I nod my head. "I can do that but only if I deem you so dangerous to yourself and others that you will be put in the psych ward" She tells me and my eyes widen when she says that. Psych ward? That doesn't sound good at all.

I shake my head. "No, I'm not crazy" I tell her, and she sighs. Steel's warm hands hold me tighter to him as I sit on his lap and even if this seems childish to deny the only way to stay in this hospital but I won't go to the psych ward. I have heard that they restrained the patients to the bed and I don't want to go through that again. I hate it. I will not allow someone to do that to me. "Can I make a deal with you?" Steel asks me and I slowly nod my head.

"You go to your father's house" He says and I look at him with widen eyes. I can't believe that he would even say this. "But, because every doctor and Sylvia can vouch that you need to be around familiar places to make you feel comfortable and become happy again. You can convince your father to let you out of the house and you can be at the gym with me the whole time" He says. I think about that for a second. Being him Steel all day long actually does sound something that I would like.

"He won't let me be with you" I tell him. He kisses the back of my hand as he holds it. With his other hand he caresses my cheek and bobs my nose making me let out a small giggle that only he can hear. The sound brings a smile on his face. "Nothing and no one can keep us apart. We will find a way. We always do" He says to me. His words do comfort me but that doesn't exactly answer the unasked question on how we can be together when I'm not allowed to be around him.

"There is something else that I have to tell you, Lila" Sylvia says and I look at her confused. Her tone turns serious and I'm not sure what that means but it can't mean anything good. Her words do catch my attention. "Last night, the one that held you captive was found dead in his bed" She says and I gasp as my face turns to terror. "Dead?" I ask as I begin to shake. How can this be? "He overdosed" She tells me. That does confuse me greatly and I don't make sense of any of this. He can't have overdosed just like that, he had police guards all around me.

"But that's not all. He willingly took the same drug that he used on you when he first took you. The police don't know how he got the drug or why he took it but it's over. The nightmare is over" She tells me but I shake my head. "Two people died" I tell her. "None of that is right" I say. Mark died and now his brother, while he was the darkness, I know that he did not deserve death. He should've rotted in jail for the rest of his life.

Both she and Steel give me a puzzled look and I pale when I realize that I have not told them about Mark's death. The police told me that no one could know about his death. His last remaining family (not his brother) did not want his death to be announced to the world, but he died in a car accident. Not even Sylvia knows that he died. No one is supposed to know. "Two people?" Steel asks me. Thinking about Mark brings tears to my eyes as I know that I can't speak about his death.

It breaks me apart to not be able to say anything about what happened to him. That I can't even attend his funeral because no one is supposed to know. It's wrong, and he did not deserve that, he deserved so much better than what he got. "Do you think we can meet at the gym?" I ask Steel, changing the subject to distract them from the mistake that I just leaked and hopefully they will forget it and forget that I even said that because I don't even think that I can say the words out loud, it's even hard to think about it. "Yes, it should be possible" He tells me and I give him a sad smile.
