101Three days later,At the Mental Institution, "Jasmine, open the door. I swear no one will hurt you.""Fuck off!!!" Jasmine hollered back to Vince, who was trying to take a peek at her through the window in the door used to deliver food.Ever since his visit last time, Jasmine locked herself inside her room. She had dragged the rusty bed across the room and placed it against the door. She kept the rod with her at all times, and poked it in the hands of the doctors and wardens who tried to reach their hands inside from the window in the door to get to the lock."Jasmine, you're swaying. You need food. Your body is weak. If you open the door, I'll slide the tray in." Vince said calmly."Send the food through the window. Isn't that why it is made— to deliver the food! If you cannot, just take your äss out of here!" She tried to shriek and ended up coughing.Luckily there was a water container in the corner of the room. It was full, and each time Jasmine felt the pang of hunger, she

103 "Doctor Fiona, why do you help Miss Lila with her bluffs if you like Mr. Kyle too?" The nurse asked.  "You won't understand, Serene. Lila... She's cunning but rich and influential. We may dislike her for being cunning, but she's got connections and money. She gets me stuff that I would never be able to afford with my salary. Another thing is that she can be very bítchy and creepy where Kyle's concerned. It's better not to cross her. As for Kyle... He's off limits."  The nurse sighed too. She had seen Kyle in magazines and news before. Having him in front of her eyes was a surreal experience.  "It's a shame such a handsome man is being played by a woman like Lila. I don't want him to end up with Miss Lila. She's beautiful, yes. But loyal? I can see her deceiving him every day if they ever get together." "No doubt about that." Fiona agreed. "Sadly all we c

105Vince came back to meet Jasmine again in the evening, which was very unusual. He didn't show his face for days after his last visit. But today he came twice. Jasmine greeted him the same way as afternoon— Shoving her rod weapon through the food window, and he saved his eye by mere inches.Vince claimed that he was there to take her to her new room. Jasmine didn't believe him. She was firm on her resolve to not open the door. A voice in her head kept screaming to her to not fall for his words; and that it was a trap to get her to open the door.But then Vince was alone. And something about his eyes made her believe him. It took about two hours to convince her to open the door. "If this is a trick, Vince, I swear God will make you pay for it in the hereafter!" Jasmine had said. "Yeah. If you feel like I'm lying then you can take my eyes out using that rod." He said with a roll of his eyes as he guided her down a long and silent but creepy passage. It was dim and there were doors o

107"Birdie! Oh my God, is this really you? Tell me I'm not dreaming." Jasmine ran to the door to open it. "This is really me. You're not dreaming." Birdie giggled as Jasmine fidgeted with the lock.As the door opened, Birdie threw herself in and into Jasmine's hands. They both hugged each other like twin sisters reuniting again after years of being away from each other. They would have stayed like that had it not been for the warden, who was checking out Birdie's backside.Jasmine scowled enragedly at him and slammed the door on his face. Then she turned around and hugged Birdie again. Jasmine didn't know when tears made their way out of her eyes. Her lips were trembling. She held Birdie tight. It was as if that she'll vanish if Jasmine loosened her hold."I'm real, Jasmine. You can let go of me." Birdie tried to chuckle but ended up sounding like her voice was breaking from pain. "I can't. I thought I'll never see you again. I thought that you..." Jasmine bit her lip to suppress he

109Fiona's expression altered to one of confusion as she observed Birdie's goth-girl appearance.The nurse continued to whisper, "Have you ever heard a goth-girl telling the truth? Such girls are known for framing poor men for money. When they can't have their ways, they resort to destroying wealthy men's images. I say you stay out of this.""Wendy, how dare you say that?" Fiona snapped angrily.Birdie was controlling her tears. No one knew why she adopted this goth-girl's look. No one tried to know the reason behind it. And yet, most of them bullied her and suspected her to be a person that she wasn't.She was amazed to see Fiona scolding the nurse for doubting her because of her look."Jennifer, if I hear you talking like a racist one more time, I will fire you! And I will make sure you're not hired by any other medical institution ever again." Fiona snarled. "No one alters their appearance out of happiness. Past traumas have a great hand in how people make themselves look. Just be
