After She's Terminal The Alpha Regrets (Elaine and Lucas) novel Chapter 304

Ayla rocked back and forth on her bed, staring at the window near the ceiling. “He’s coming,” she said. To no one in particular. “He is coming. He’ll be back and whisk me away from this place.”

She was so convinced of that fact. Because it was fact in her mind.

Ayla looked up as the door unlocked. An automated system she came to recongnize. She stood up. “My Lucas will be back and he’ll take me home. Away from all the freaks in here…”

She stepped out into the hallway. Everyone was making their way to the cafeteria.

“He will be back. I know he will.”

She said it in a sing-songy voice, walking lightly toward the cafeteria.

“And once he realizes his love, Elaine will pay! She will pay so very dearly. Lucas is mine!” she practically yelled. Another patient near her turned to look. Ayla simply ignored them. “He’s always been mine. My love. My life…”

She walked into the cafeteria, her gaze flickering around at everyone else. Everyone else who were only pretending to be normal, unlike her. She was normal. Just had done a few bad things.

“Lucas will forgive me,” she mumbled, walking over to the food line. She grabbed a tray. “He will forgive me and love me!”

“You’re talking to yourself,” someone ahead of her muttered.

Ayla looked at them. It was a short woman. Long blonde hair and hollow eyes. She was looking over her shoulder at Ayla.

“That’s frowned upon.”

“As if I care!” Ayla snapped. “My Lucas will come to sweep me away from this place. I don’t need to follow their rules!”

“Lucky you,” the woman said, holding her tray out as one of the servers dumped a portion of mashed potatoes onto it. “I wish I had someone waiting for me when I got out.”

“Oh, he’s not waiting. He’s going to come and get me and take me away.”
