    Shady Pines was shady in more ways than one - firstly, the patients. New York's craziest adolescents (aged 3-17) were crammed into a state facility. Few were doted upon as more than money rolling in to pay for their stays, and even fewer benefited from treatment.

    Delilah Stone wasn't ordinary. She liked to color outside the lines. She liked to share her ice-cream cone with her dog. She liked to share a line of cocaine with a stranger.

    Her body swung with the suggestion of hips as Delilah cut across the hallway, heading into the ever-so-pleasant cafeteria. Many tables were separated: the druggies at one, the schizoids at another..

    She settled down at a table with an apple, tossing it between her. Being a newbie was hard anywhere. "Hey-" She called to a passerby, clicking her tongue passively and tugging her eyebrows upward.
    "Sit?"

    Max looked at the girl tossing the apple up and down who had said sit. He wasn't sure if it was the best of ideas but he did it anyways. He watched her wearily, you never knew what to expect from anyone in these places.

    He had been placed here by his parents for his suicidal tendencies and excessive drug abuse. Methamphetamine was definitely he select choice but he settled for a lot of other things.

    He was brought out of his reverie by a loud clang to see one of the other patients banging their head on a tray. He glance back at the girl. "So what are you in for?" He asked bluntly.

    "Living. 'M in for living," Delilah responded disdainfully, "What are you in for, sweetie-darling?" Her foot rushed to nudge his underneath the table gracefully. Her eyes flew wide with the patient's violent outburst, and she appeared like a flightless bird in a flock of pigeons: hopelessly trapped - left behind by her own kind.

    "You know, the usual." He didn't blame her for not elaborating any further. People in these places didn't typically share their stories with just anyone. He didn't really acknowledge the foot rubbing his or the outburst. He was used to this life. What do you think caused his need to fill his life with drugs or to end in general? Everyone story starts somewhere and his began at 8 years old, and it's been one hell of a ride.

    Leaning in closer with her cow eyes, she murmured: "I don't belong here." Delilah, once boasting and plentiful, was meek and quiet under the pressure of the hospital.

    She removed her foot from his, gaze flickering numbly toward him. "C'mon-" She offered her hand as she stood, sliding toward the cafeteria exit.

    He took her outstretched hand and wondered if it was really the best of ideas.
    He questioned wether or not she was new to the environment or if she was one of the many patients who always insisted they didn't belong. He didn't belong here either. He parents forced this life on him; he retaliated and it only made his life worse. So he chose to just sit back and wait until he was free of everything.

    As she led him out of the cafeteria he began to wonder where she was leading him. They weren't really supposed to be leaving without supervision, but the supervision at Shady Pines was never really good at their job.

    Delilah mindlessly swung their interlaced fingers. Her lip curled at paserbys; eyes wandered toward orderlies. Halting at the end of the corridor, she lifted his hand to her mouth and kissed it. The sign above the door read "STORAGE" in bold lettering.

    "Gimme' a sec, huh?" She pressed, unwinding a bobby pin from her hair and fastening it into the key hole.

    It clicked, and they were in.

    Max watched as the girl jimmied the lock and rose his eyebrows when it clicked. She opened the door and he followed her in. Now he was certain that he probably should've stayed behind, but at the same time he didn't regret his decision. He wondered at what she had in store for them but didn't question it aloud.

    Delilah unwound their hands and offered him the first step before plummeting into the room. It was stacked with contraband- glass, sharps, and even a few more sexual objects.

    She fingered a string from a lonesome guitar and lifted her hand to pull him down beside her. "Your eyes are so sad." She murmured.

    "Yeah.. I suppose." He started playing with the hem on his shirt. He was unsure what to do in moments like these. He'd never had enough time in the outside world to really expierience women.

    He looked at her wearily and then suddenly reached up to brush her hair out of her face. "Your eyes are beautiful though."

    "They feel beautiful, " Her response was borderline nonsensical, although plenty understandable. Delilah's smile was torn away by the guitar rested in her arms. She beat her hand against the strings, a chaotic sound escaping that'd surely alert someone.

    It sent a ball of warmth into her heart. She was heavily medicated, making her emotions topsy-turvy.

    He took the guitar from her gently, "They're gonna catch on to our hidey spot if you do that." He looked at her all wide-eyed and innocent. He was still unsure why they were hiding. He just knew that he liked being here.

    It was dark, the only light wondering into the room was coming from beneath the door. "What's your name?" He bit his lip. Normally, he wouldn't ask; normally, he would've never sat down to begin with.

    "Delilah - like that stupid-ass motherfuckin' song," Delilah spat, although she'd grown deeply attached to the song. She had to come across as spitfire, "They won't find us." She reached up to stroke his hair softly and thoughtfully, like that of a soft tabby kitten.

    Max just stared at her with big eyes as she petted him. He didn't quite understand the storage room yet and didn't know if he should ask. He drew his knees up, wrapped his arms around them, and started rocking back and forth. He started to hum to himself, a soothing tune. He didn't know where he had heard it, just that it made him feel better.

    "I wanted to see if they had my foundation in here. Glass, y'know - contraband." Delilah left her hand in his hair and inched herself toward him, an arm slinging over him to trace invisible patterns into his back. "You're safe here."

    "Glass?" He questioned. "Foundation?" He wasn't sure if she was implying drugs or not, and if so, why would the workers at Shady Pines keep drugs in the storage room? He just shook his head, "It's not safe here. It's not safe anywhere."

    Shady Pines held secrets; ones that belonged to it's patients and employees alike. Max had been here long enough that this institute wasn't safe, none of them have been. He's just got better at defending himself.

    "Make-up," Delilah snorted, standing to shy away from him, "Maybe 's not safe. I don't-" She halted her speech, brows knitting together. Her head flew to the door as the knob turned.

    (I figured the staff could be abusive, if you wanted to play the people that found them?)
