Chapter FourAdamGet Lily away from here as quietly as possible

That’s the plan The problem is, I have no idea how to implement it

Lily is one of the most emotional, stubborn and determined people I’ve met, which means she’s unpredictable If I walk up to her and deh to fuck the both of us over

So how do I approach this, then?

I’ve been trying to figure this out for hours, but I feel like I’s me back to the fact that I can’t be sure how she’ll react

My phone rings, snapping lad for the distraction, until I see that it’s Moo to voice to sort out Lily She’ll only suck dry the little energy I have left inwith Mom is an effort

“Fuck”

I tense as the guilt over not answering her sets in I try to ignore it, but in the end, I call her back, because the irony is I’ to be able to focus until I speak to her now, anyway

“Adaain,” she whispers

“Cal is fine You’re in the Bayside Psychiatric Facility, re your o back home”

“No, they said that, but I know they’re after …” Her voice trails off, as she breaks into a sob “Adam, please Help me I need you You, me and Tom”

I closemy heart I hate it when she talks about Toh h I wish I didn’t feel so useless

Even if I were right there with her, it wouldn’t make a difference

“You’ll be home soon, okay?” I repeat softly “I love you I’ll speak to you soon”

As the line cuts out, I stare at the phone I’ry and frustrated It’s the same story, every time Schizophrenia is a hell of an illness

“Shit,” I hiss

Why does everything have to be so hard?Grunting, I sit upright, taking a moment to re me that’s oke me in the first place
