Liam had night terrors, causing him to wake up randomly during the night. He tossed in his sleep, creaking the bed. Harry stayed up most of the night because of Liam's fits. Harry sighed before climbing down the bed. He looked over to Liam before making his way under the sheets. Liam instantly clung onto him in his sleep, wrapping his arms around chest. Harry stayed still and smiled gently. Just as expected, Liam didn't toss anymore. Harry slept soundly along side with Liam, cuddling him.

The next morning, an alarm woke up the building. Liam shot his eyes open and immediately pulled away from Harry and jumped off the bed, "What the fuck," he yelled to Harry who stretched with a large yawn. Liam said harshly, "Why the fuck were you in my bed?"

Harry got up onto his feet, "You kept me up. I had to lay with you for you to stop making the bunk move." He didn't seem bothered by Liam's anger at all. Liam snapped, "Well don't fucking do it again."

Harry looked up at him, "I'm sorry...it's just what friends do. Help each other."

Liam relaxed. He figured out that Harry didn't know any better. Liam didn't bring it up anymore, "What do we do now?"

"We stand in line for breakfast." Harry simply said, walking out of the room.

Liam followed him. They didn't say a word as they stepped into a large line that led into the cafeteria. Harry stood in front of Liam, they backs perfectly aligned. Liam peeked from the corner of his eye, staring at two men who pointed to Harry and grinned at each other. Liam wasn't sure why it bothered him so much that out of everyone, their main focus was on Harry.

Liam caught one of their eyes. He quickly looked away, but the man in white said, "Patient 2036, keep your eyes to yourself before I shock you for intimidation." Intimidation. A weak excuse just to shock someone. Liam didn't reply, which was a good call. He kept his eyes lowered, but he can still hear the two start to approach.

Liam prepared himself for a lecture and shock, but they stopped a few feet away from Harry. Liam can hear the man with blond hair and blue eyes say, "Zayn, I think Patient 3419 is stepping out of line." Liam looked down to Harry's feet which were perfectly aligned with his. The other man in white called Zayn replied, "I think you're right, Niall. We better teach him a lesson or he'll get out of hand."

Liam scolded the two.

Liam heard Harry reply, "I haven't stepped out of line."

Zayn questioned him, pulling out a panel of controls, "Are you calling us liars?"

Liam can hear the smile in Harry's voice, "When this collar gets off I swear I'm going to gut you two."

Niall laughed at him, "You just earned yourself a shock."

The beep coming from Harry's collar made Liam clench his jaw. Before he knew it, Harry was on he floor. His body frantically vibrated as the collar sent a shock down his body. Liam winced to the sound. He looked over to spot Harry's eyes rolling to the back of his head, his arms stiff to his side as he flopped around like a fish. The shock stopped, making Harry jerk on the floor. Harry was laughing now, drool coming from the sides of his mouth. Liam tightened his jaw, looking over to Niall and Zayn who were laughing uncontrollably.

Liam blurted out, "He wasn't even doing anything wrong, you shocked him for nothing."

Niall stared at him, "Patient 2036...I'd be glad to flip the switch for your first shock."

Harry stuttered, "N-no, g-give it to m-me." he slurred, his mouth a bit numb.

Liam froze. He didn't know what to say. Fuck, he didn't want to get shocked but he knew Harry was already too fucked up to receive another. Niall grinned at Liam, "Let's see you step out of line after this." Liam looked down at his control panel, and before he could blink, his vision blacked out. Liam's sight was flickering with his body jolting in agonizing pain. Who knows he thought as the shock came to an end, I could probably die from this. Liam's vision was blurred, but he didn't feel like he was dying. He was able to move, tossing himself onto his stomach. His body twitched repeatedly as his vision cleared. He looked to the side, finding Harry on the floor beside him. They were both laying down, staring at one another.

Harry murmured, "How did it feel?"

Liam mumbled, "Like I kept dying over and over again without ever reaching the light." Liam felt drool inch down his mouth.

Harry grinned, "You're funny."

They laid on the floor mostly all morning. Their bodies were too sore to move. Harry whispered to Liam as Niall and Zayn left, "I've been talking to a few patients...I promise one day we're going to get back at them. We're going to take over soon."

"You're crazy," Liam laughed, feeling his brain tickle from the shock.

They both cackled together, their eyes meeting one another. Harry sighed, "Y'know, all this shocking is screwing with my brain. I can barely remember my childhood...the good parts--if there were any. For some reason I can only remember gutting the family dog using a pair of scissors, putting the fish in the microwave, and peeping into the keyhole to watch my sister have sex with every boy in the neighborhood."

Liam replied, "You're seriously fucked up."

"I didn't strum to it, it didn't get me off. I just needed more reasons to call her a fucking whore." Harry looked at Liam, "What about you? I told you my dark shit, now you tell me yours."

Liam scrunched up his nose, "I didn't watch anyone have sex with anyone. The darkest thing I've ever done was try to kill myself in my mum's bathroom."

"Why'd you try it?"

Liam slurred, "Just as soon as things started to brighten up, my ex-girlfriend had a miscarriage." Liam sighed, "That was the last straw for me. I had already lost my dad the same week."

Harry rose his brows, "Fuck. Sorry about that."

Liam shrugged, "Being here just wants me to kill myself more."

Harry stared at him before they abruptly both laughed. Harry groaned, trying to sit up. He managed, "My body stopped twitching, finally. I can move." He looked over to Liam, "Your built pretty strong, I doubt I can carry you to the room."

Liam shrugged, "You can drag me."

Harry got up on his feet. He grabbed onto Liam's ankles, "Sadly, we're going to miss the delicious oatmeal and raisin." He sarcastically remarked, dragging Liam. Harry chuckled, "So this is how it'll be if I dragged a dead body? Not too bad."

"Try not to be creepy while you're dragging me." Liam smirked.

Harry laughed, "I'm always creepy."
