Campbell Bain Headcanons
Tumblr media
these are a bunch of headcanons i have about our favourite loonie!
before we get started I will say trigger warning for SH, Suicide, BD and fire. Also I'm autistic, so i've used some of my experiences as reference. And my friends are bipolar so also took reference from them.
so without further a-doo lets begin!!!
1- He's bisexual but he prefers male/gender-neutral partners.
2- He likes to listen to Queen and David Bowie
3-His primary love language is touch (he didn't get much physical affection when he was a kid) however he is demi-asexual
4-He absolutely adores when anyone plays with his hair or gives him head scratches (especially if they've got long nails
5-He's an insomniac. His sleep schedule is none existent, he sleeps whenever he feels like it wether that be at 5 in the morning or once every two days. He is rarely ever asleep before 1 am
6-He's got ADHD. All that energy and fidgeting doesn't come from being bipolar alone.
7-He loves doing arts and crafts at the asylum. The nurses sometimes use taking it away as a bribe to get him to take his meds if cocoa doesn't work
8-He knows a sh1t tone about stars and outer-space. if you point at a constellation and ask him to name it he'll tell you in an instant with its whole back story and everything.
9-He's got some PTSD from his childhood and watching Fergus jump off the roof.
10-His favourite movie is the breakfast club. He relates to John and Allison a lot and likes to reminisce of his short time in highschool and all the detentions he got.
11-He use to self-harm and still has the scars. He's not proud of it but when asked about it he'll just say "well thats life"
12-When he went to school he was the type of kid to turn up in pyjama bottoms and a hoodie, never pay attention but still somehow pass and he would skip class at least once a week
13-On the rare occasion that he does get to sleep, he moves around A LOT. full on starfish and blanket hogger, he also fidgets in his sleep
14-He quit cigarettes and started smoking w3ed. He said it was to "calm his nerves and help him focus on his creative flow" but eventually with Eddies help he quit that too.
15-He (albeit rarely) gets panic attacks.
16-He'll just randomly set small things on fire when he's bored. Sometimes he accidentally sets himself on fire
17- He hates loud noises unless he's the one making them. He loves to shout and blast his music so loud he can't hear his own thoughts but hates it when other people do it.
19- He loves soft things. He has about 15 stuffed animals at home (his favourite came with him to the ward) and is always wrapped up in a blanket when he watches tv or is reading. Any chance he gets he'll be cocooned in blankets and pillows
20-He either has a God-complex or hates him self to no end. There is no in between one minute he'll think he's the best person alive and the next he'll think everyone hates him.
21-When he was 16 (around the time he was diagnosed) him and his dad had a falling out and he tried to overdose. That was the reason he got admitted to saint Judes
22-He is fascinated by witchcraft but never really tried it himself, just likes doing research on it
23-He considered suicide after Fergus died but decided to continue on in his name and prove that loonies could get jobs and that being manic didn't define him
24-He once tried to die his hair green but decided he didn't like it so he went back to brown
25-His favourite bands are Nirvana and Green day
26-He likes comic books and his favourite hero is wolverine
thx for reading and I'm open to suggestions for Campbell.

“The amount of love I have for you will never be understood by others. From the way you touch me, to the look in your eyes. Through all these years you managed to captivate my heart. For this my soul will forever be your home. Mistakes happen, this I know. But the passion we both share erases the worst. Take my hand and come with me. Follow me to this path we both created. It may be unknown to most, but it sure is eternal for us.”
youtube
Campbell was trying to cheer up Francine with jokes by Y/N’s next to last day, “Okay, how about this one. A group of loonies go out on a day trip, and on the way back, they stop at a pub for a drink.”
“I think that's enough, Campbell, huh?” Eddie tried but Campbell ignored him.
“One of the loonies comes running up to the nurse saying, 'Nurse, nurse, that barmaid smiled at me!' So the nurse says, 'Well, smile back.' So the loony goes away, but he's back five minutes later, saying 'Nurse, nurse, that barmaid winked at me!' So the nurse says, 'Well, wink back.' So he's away again, but he's back ten minutes later saying ‘Nurse, nurse, that barmaid. she showed me her bosoms.’ So the nurse says, 'Well, show her your nuts!' So he's away again, straight up to the barmaid, and goes—” He made moose antlers on his head with his hands and screaming goofily in Francine’s face and wheezed with laughter but no one else did. “Do you not get it? The nurse says, 'Show her you're nuts', and he does!”
Still Francine had no reaction.
“All right, Campbell.” Eddie said, quietly and Campbell deflated. Then Eddie suggested, “Why don’t you help Y/N pack for tomorrow?”
Campbell nodded and walked to his girlfriend’s room.
“Have they found my kittens yet?” Francine asked.
“Francine, I told you. They were sick.” Eddie told her.
--
Y/N had been called to more lunch meetings with both River and Paula but she refused to tell Campbell what they discussed and since she as his girlfriend could easily distract him with kisses, though he had been a bit more clingy than usual, what with Y/N being discharged and his optimism that he would get a big DJ job, he feared whether or not they’d last but he never questioned the unconfessed love he had for her.
That evening, Eddie still wasn’t there so Campbell and Y/N took over the show. Eddie’s show.
“Well, that's about all we have time for tonight; don't forget to tune in tomorrow night for Campbell Bain's Looney Tunes Show!” He said and played the Looney Tunes jingle. Then Eddie entered, Campbell turned to him, taking his headphones off, “Eddie! Where the hell have you been?”
“Sorry I'm late.” Eddie mumbled.
"Late?" Campbell scoffed, “You've missed the whole bloody show!”
“I've been working. I don't have to catch every one of your shows fae start to finish, do I?”
Campbell and Y/N glared pointedly at Eddie and the soon to be discharged answered, “It was your show.” As Campbell bitterly tossed his headphones on the desk.
“...It was?” Eddie asked.
Campbell, Rosalie, and Y/N gave him pointed looks.
“Look, I'm sorry. I had a few bevvies; didnae want to drive.” Eddie apologized.
“‘A couple of bevvies’?” Campbell scoffed with a disbelieving chuckle and a glance at his girlfriend, “You look like you've been on a three-day binge!”
“Look, Campbell! I'm a salesman. That's what I get paid for. I don't get paid for coming here.” Eddie argued.
“Yeah, now that Francine’s been in a psychogenic coma of grief.” Y/N said, sharply.
Eddie glared at her, pointedly.
“Well, I don't think that's a very professional attitude.” Campbell said, casually, checking his fingernails.
“What do I need a professional attitude for?” Eddie asked, confused.
“For when you go to lunch with Paula Kinghorn.” Campbell said and grinned cheekily at Eddie, “She's been trying to get in touch with you for days!”
“Jesus.”
“I would’ve informed you if you’d been here the past week.” Y/N said.
Campbell got up and went to Eddie, excitedly, “Lunch, Eddie, lunch! And then she said,” He put his imitation of Paulaagain, “‘I probably shouldn't be saying this yet, but I think I'm gonna have good news for ya’.”
“I cannae. You go, Campbell.”
“He can’t.” Y/N said.
“Then you go.” Eddie told her.
“She’s had lunch with me three times. She specifically said she wanted to have lunch with you.” Y/N said.
“I cannae do it.”
“How no?!” Campbell exclaimed, his octaves going up.
“I've been waiting for this all my life. If I went intae lunch and came out with nothing, I don't know what I'd do.” Eddie said, clearly in shock.
“You'll not come out with nothing.” Campbell reassured him.
Aye. Just make sure she pays for lunch.” Rosalie said.
“And trust me, I’ve had lunch her thrice and her assistant six times.”
“Lunch.” Eddie  mumbled.
Campbell turned to his girlfriend, "You've gone out with the assistant six times?"
--
“Campbell…” Y/N groaned that night, “Please, let me get dressed into my pajamas.”
“This is the last night for quite a while I’ll get to spend the night with you.” Campbell whined with his arms around her, pulling her flush against him with her back against his chest.
“Campbell, we’ll be fine. C/N moved in four days ago, she has the essentials unpacked, I’m a fifteen minute drive away. Five if you’re the one driving. It’ll be fine. I’ll visit you every day and by the time you get discharged you’ll have made a name for yourself and you won’t be forced to move to Perth.”
“Don’t go snogging any other boys?” He asked.
She chuckled, “I promise. And I’ve taken self-defense classes now so if another EX/N comes to me, I’ll destroy them.”
“Y/N… I… I…” He felt himself freeze from the inside so he just kissed her.
--
The next day, Campbell was helping Y/N pack as she was leaving after his show when they heard Eddie’s voice shout, “THIS IS MY RADIO STATION!”
They looked at each other and ran out towards the station as they saw Eddie get shoved out of the radio station.
“Eddie?” Campbell asked as they pushed through the doors.
“Bastards.” Eddie murmured.
“Eddie?!”
“Bastards!” Eddie screamed and the couple saw a man in the station.
“Who's he?” Campbell asked.
Eddie passed them as he stormed out, “I’m not having this. I'M NOT HAVING IT!
Y/N went to the door and banged on it but the man gave her a gesture that was rather rude.
“Okay.” She said, irritated and pulled a bobby pin she stole from her cousin out and started to pick the lock before slamming it open.
“Y/N, no…”
--
“I’m just saying you didn’t have to hit him.” Campbell told his girlfriend, some time later as they looked through the records.
“I didn’t hit him. I was… gesturing for emphasis.” She said.
“Well, you gestured him right in the face.” Campbell said but he was smiling at her. He leaned towards her and gave her a kiss, still grinning. She pulled back and he cupped her cheek, deepening the kiss.
“Oh, you beautiful doll, you great big beautiful doll...” Rosalie sang when she came in.
The couple broke apart and looked at her in surprise to see her with her hair curled and make up on her face.
“So. What do you think?" She asked.
"I'm speechless!" Campbell excliamed.
"I have had a complete makeover. Sylvia, in the flat next to mine, used to be a beautician. I'm living in a posh neighborhood now, so I thought I should make the effort."
“Well, are you not worried about chemicals and that?” Y/N asked.
“Sylvia is an obsessive-compulsive as well!” Rosalie said and the couple laughed, breathlessly at this. “If it's all right with her, then it's all right with me. She is a genius, so she is.”
“What have you got in the trolley?” Campbell asked, referring to the cart Rosalie was wheeling as he sat down, pulling Y/N down to sit in his lap.
“My shopping. Just a few things from the wee shop down the road. Take 'em home with me the night.”
“Have you not got shops in your new neighborhood?” Y/N frowned.
“Oh, aye.”
“But then would it not make sense to do your shopping in the local shops?” Campbell asked.
“Aye...” Rosalie sighed, “but they won't serve me.”
“What?!” Campbell and Y/N asked.
“They won't serve anybody from Hill Crest. Not the paper shop. Not the late night shop. Even the local GP's a bit frosty on account of him being chairman of the residents' committee for getting our planning commission reviewed.”
Campbell sighed and said, “Ye cannae stand for that, Rosalie. Ye've got'ae tell them:” He put on his bad American accent again, “You're not gonna take any more o' dis crapola.”
“What American films are you watching?” Y/N laughed and tried her (best) American accent, “You’re not gonna take any more of this crap.”
“Aye! That's what I told the man in the paper shop. But he told me to bugger off! He swore at me, Campbell, which I think was uncalled for.”
“You going to ask them to move you, then?” Y/N asked.
“Move me?! You're joking! I've got a bath and toilet in the same wee room, and a washing machine on the premises, and—a microwave! Do either of you know what a microwave is?” Campbell was about to speak when she cut him off, “You put your dinner in, and them microwaves make the wee molecules jiggle up and down. It's a bit like ECT.”
Then Eddie entered, rather numbly, “Eddie! What do you think?” Rosalie approached him, “Jim said I looked like a film star. One that had been in the Betty Ford clinic once too often, but a film star!”
“You look very nice.” Eddie said, flatly and continued passed Rosalie and then the couple.
“What's up with him?” Rosalie asked.
Eddie turned around to break the news to the three, “They're closing us down.”
Campbell and Y/N spoke in unison.
“How?!” Campbell gasped.
“What!?” Y/N said, getting to her feet.
“To turn this place into a treatment room. That's how the workman was in here. We've got a week to pack up and be out of here.” Eddie explained.
“You mean I'll not be station manager anymore?” Rosalie asked, softly.
“...No.”
Campbell got up and got in Eddie’s face. “What are you talking about? We're not going to lie down and play dead over this, are we? We've built something here, Eddie! When I go round the wards collecting requests, I'm a celebrity! And you know how? Because we give folks a voice! And now the hospital is telling us to shut up?!”
“Well, what can we do?
“We can declare UDI! We can turn ourselves into an independent charity, like most hospital radio stations in the country. Demand a site, and then run the station the way we want to! The only thing stopping us is lack of dosh.”
“That's also the only thing stopping me paying my milk bill.” Rosalie said.
“So we stage a fundraiser like we did before. Ehh... I've got it! A radiothon!”
“You mean like a telethon without any pictures.” Y/N asked.
“Aye.” Campbell said, “We'll broadcast from ten in the morning till ten at night, every day till we raise the dosh. We'll contact mental health charities, we'll enlist celebrity DJs, we'll ensure we get coverage in every newspaper in Glasgow.”
“Campbell, if my name appears in the papers again, I'm out of my job.” Eddie argued.
“Who cares. You're gonna go to lunch with Paula on Monday. You'll have another job.”
“We don't know that, Campbell!” Eddie shouted.
“She said she was going to have good news! Have some faith, Eddie! This is our moment!” Campbell encouraged.
Eddie: Then how do we need to save the station?” Eddie retorted.
Campbell’s smile fell and disappointment was etched over his face, he looked back at Rosalie and Y/N and then back at Eddie and he spoke a disappointed tone, “The station isn't just you and me, Eddie.”
“I cannae come in with you, Campbell.”
“...Aye…” Campbell stepped away from him Well. You with me, Rosalie?
“Aye, I'm with ya.”
Campbell turned to Y/N, “Y/N?”
“Of course. Just because I’m being discharged doesn’t mean I won’t be here to support you.”
He broke his loving gaze from his girlfriend to Eddie, giving him a look of disappointment and a little betrayal.
“Then we'll do it ourselves, Eddie. And I'll talk to Francine as well.”  Campbell seemed to now be having a hard time looking at Eddie.
Eddie looked at Campbell for a long time before wishing him, “...Good luck.”
He exited, walking between Campbell, Y/N, and Rosalie. Campbell refused to look at him, shoving his hands in his pockets before Y/N got on her tip-toes and hugged him, he wrapped his arms around her.
--
“Do you want to talk about it?” Y/N asked Campbell.
“No. I don’t want spend our last night together talking about Eddie.” He sighed, “Come here.” He kissed her, desperately but she pulled back, feeling wetness on his face and saw him trying not to cry. He rested his against her shoulder, sniffling.
“Oh, Campbell. I’m only going to be fifteen minutes away,”
“It’s not fair. Maybe if we could keep having nights like this. I like being there to help you stave off the nightmares. I like waking up from a memory of my dad’s lectures and knowing that you’re there with me lifts me higher than ever before. I like pretending like we’re not just a couple of teenagers in their first… well, healthy relationship. I like you… a lot. I’ve never had anyone who wanted to be around me as much as you do.”
“I like you too.” She dug her fingers into his light auburn hair, “for so long I thought I was broken. EX/N convinced me that I was broken. That I was unlovable, that I was alone in the darkness and I expected to spend the rest of my life in the darkness as more darkness, but then I met you and you shine brighter than the sun in summer.”
“You’re not broken.” He said and he kissed her passionately.
--
As Y/N finished packing up, Campbell hugged her from behind with his face snuggled into the crock of her neck with the occasional kiss to it. She chuckled and turned in his embrace, he immediately started to kiss her slowly.
“Campbell… I’ll be back in… like an hour.” She said in between his kisses.
“Mmm. Too long.” He shook his head.
“I think we’re moving from affectionate young love to clingy.”
“Mmm. I don’t care.”
“Y/N…” Came her cousin’s voice, knocking on the frame of the open door. “Uh, car’s ready.”
“Thanks, C/N. Campbell, I have to go. I’ll be back in an hour.” She said and kissed him before leaving the Saint Jude’s Hospital.
--
Three days later...
Y/N sat next to Campbell as he spoke into the microphone, “The time is two forty-five on day three, hour number twenty-nine of the Saint Jude's Hospital radiothon. In fifteen minutes, we're going to have another two hours of patients' party pieces, including Hector, who'll be doing a selection of his best juggling tricks.” A beat before he added with dry sarcasm, “Well, that should certainly be worth listening to. I'll be back again at five, so keep sending me your requests and dedications, but most of all, send us your dosh, and rescue our radio!”
He played Rescue Me (I don’t know who sings this. I can’t get a Shazam result off of it.) as Rosalie entered, wearing a bandage wrapped around her head, holding a piece of gauze to her face, over her eye.
“Sorry I'm late.” She told them, Y/n had turned around and her jaw was dropped in shock.
“So you should be! I've had…” Campbell started out angry but he cut himself off when saw the bandage and gauze and his eyes widened, “What happened to yeh?
“Ach, Jim came round and we had a... disagreement, but it's all sorted out now.”
“What!?” Y/N asked, outraged.
“Jim hit yeh?” Campbell asked in concern and some outrage.
“No!” Rosalie said quickly and explained, “Some wee boys came over the fence and one of them started making faces at me through the window, so I went out, and we disagreed about whether he was on my property, and then about whether I was a loony who should be locked up, and then he threw the stone, and we disagreed about whether I was gonna let Jim throttle him or not.”
“The kid threw a stone at yeh?” Campbell asked in disbelief.
“Aye, but I'm from Donegal—when a stone hits your head, it's the stone that's in trouble.” Rosalie said.
“Alright, who’s this kid? I’m going to find his parents and beat some sense into them with a bat until they learn to raise their kids right.” Y/N said with complete seriousness.
Then Billy knocked on the open door’s frame
“Hello, Billy.” Y/N said, brightly.
“Hello? I wanted to volunteer to do a party piece?” Billy said.
“Aye! What do you want to do?” Campbell said, positively, picking up the clipboard with all the times on it.
Billy held up a fiddle and proudly said, “I want to play my ukulele.”
“That's a fiddle.” Y/n said.
“...It is?”
Y/N nudged Campbell, ”But you're welcome to play it tomorrow at...” Campbell said, he paused to check for an unscheduled time slot for Billy, “quarter past six. Is that okay?”
“Aye, quarter past six!” Billy agreed.
“Don't forget your fiddle.” Y/N said.
“My what?” Billy asked.
Y/N sighed, giving up and said, “...Your ukulele.”
Billy, grinning, then exited.
“How's it been going, anyway?” Rosalie asked once Billy was gone.
“Desperate.” Campbell sighed, placing the clipboard down, “It's been like that,” He jabbed his thumb after Billy, “all day.” He ran his fingers over his face in exasperation, “Loads of volunteers to sing the Postman Pat theme in eleven different languages. But where's our celebrity DJs? Where's our star interviews? Where's the bloody press?”
“It’s kind of last minute, babe.” Y/N said, running her hand through his hair in the way she knew comforted him and he rested his head on her shoulder.
“But the contributions have been pouring in. They've been slipping them under the door. And a whole load have just arrived in with the post.” Rosalie said, holding up  a stack of letters.
“How much have we got so far?” Campbell asked, lifting his head up with Y/N’s hand still in his hair.
“Ninety-seven pounds and twenty-seven pence.”
Campbell rolled his eyes and sighed before plopping his head back on Y/N’s shoulder, “We may have to do something drastic soon.”
--
Y/N drove Campbell to Eddie’s the next day and knocked on his apartment door.
Eddie, looking like he had woken up in a ditch that morning, opened the door.
“Eddie...?” Campbell asked. Eddie blinked from the light and nodded into his apartment, silently inviting them inside and opened the door. “You look terrible.”
“Aye... I had a few bevvies last night.”
“Uh… you mind if I make some coffee?” Y/N asked, figuring this is what Eddie needed at the moment.
“Aye, 's through there. 's nae milk, though.” He said.
Campbell rolled from the heels to the balls of his feet as Y/N filled a kettle with tap water. “The radiothon's dying on its feet.”
“Surprise, surprise.” Eddie said, dryly.
“The builders are supposed to be coming in at two o'clock tomorrow. And if we're not out of there by then, they're going to throwus out. So we've decided to occupy the station.” Campbell told Eddie.
“Campbell... have you finally really lost your mind?” Eddie asked, “Who's gonna occupy it?”
“Me, Y/N,” Campbell said, glancing behind him and jabbing his thumb at his girlfriend who had placed the kettle down and appeared in the doorframe, “and Rosalie. And you, I hope.”
“Nae chance.” Eddie scoffed as Campbell sat on the radiator.
“Eddie, I've thought it all out! It's the only way to save the station. I've told all the newspapers! They're all going to be there! We are going to turn this into a front page incident.”
“Campbell, I told you, I don't wantae make the front page. What I wantae dae is keep my job.” Eddie said, loudly.
“Eddie, you built that station from nothing! How can you let that slip away without a fight?” Campbell argued.
“Because I've got bills tae pay!” He got up and went through his mail stack of bills, “Electricity bill, gas bill, phone bill—which my dear grandmother managed to run into three figures before going off to Lithuania with every spare penny I had to give. And because, although I have lost more jobs in my life than you have had manic episodes, Campbell, I could make a lot of money now! I could get respect for the first time in my life!” He was now yelling, “You think I'm gonna give that all up for the dubious honor of going down with my ship?!” He walked over to the small balcony.
“Eddie, d'you no see that job's killing you?” Campbell asked.
“No, Campbell, my dreams!”  Eddie argued before repeating softly, “My dreams are killing me.”
Y/N narrowed her eyes at him but bit back her comeback as Campbell walked to Eddie, leaned against the banister and asked, “So... what did Paula say, then?”
“She said there's a slot coming up and they want you to take it.”
Campbell’s eyes widened briefly, “You mean they want us to take it.”
“No, they see it as a solo slot.” Eddie clarified.
“And-and they want Campbell to take it? Only Campbell?” Y/N asked.
“I'm no gonna take it!” Campbell said at once.
“Campbell, take it.”
“We'll keep at it, Eddie, contact some other stations, do another demo—”
“Campbell, do you wantae end up like me?” Eddie asked, looking Campbell in the eyes, and then said, empathetically. “Take. The. Job. For yourself. For Fergus, eh?” He paused, “I promised Paula, I'd make you take it; I don't wantae break my word. Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got tae go tae work.”
Campbell hesitated but left while Y/N stayed, waiting until he was out of earshot.
 “By the way, it’s bullshit, Eddie. Your dreams aren’t killing you. Your boss’ expectations are killing you. Your grandmother’s expectations are killing you. Evelyn MacDonald’s killing you. That asshole from your work is killing you. Everyone who’s ever put you down is killing you because you’re letting them. Like how I let EX/N kill me every day. If you let your dreams go, you’re letting them kill you. You’ll end up like Fergus. Cold and alone in the ground with a rock with a birthday carved into it that I’m pretty sure is wrong and a funeral mostly full of people who before couldn’t even be bothered to remember your name before but come to convince themselves that they weren’t totally absorbed in their own lives to care about someone who’s now gone.”
-- 
For What It's Worth by Buffalo Springfield played as Campbell spoke into the microphone back at the studio. “This is Campbell Bain, and it's D-Day for Saint Jude's Hospital Radiothon. That's 'D' for Desperation Day, because we are still two thousand, eight hundred and fifty-six pounds and fifty-three pence short of our target. So this is it, loonies. If you've got a rich uncle, then today's the day to remind him of that filing clerk he once took to Blackpool, the name of the cheap hotel where they stayed, and the type of barnyard animal that was involved.” Y/N giggled into her sleeved hand as behind them, Rosalie stopped counting the meager donations and gave him a look like, what the hell? “We are here for you, loonies, and we're not going anywhere.”
--
Some time later, Campbell’s attention was brought through the window by the flashing of cameras and he spotted some men wearing hard hats.
“Y/N! Rosalie!” He shouted, bringing the girls’ attention to them.
Rosalie slammed the door shut and Y/N bolted the door shut.
“Ha! Now, not even the sonic screwdriver will get through that.” Y/N laughed with a triumph flourish and she gave the man a rude gesture through the window.
Rosalie and Y/N started to stack boxes and anything else they could find and move against the door as Campbell spoke on the radio.
“The loonies may not have taken over the asylum, but they've seized control of the radio station. “This is Campbell Bain reporting live from the hospital radio occupation, where we have locked ourselves into the station and have refused to stop broadcasting until our future is assured.”
Y/N spotted Stuart, Isabel, and another assistant enter the hallway from through the window.
“So talk to your friends, your relatives, your voices! Hospital radio must survive!”
Outside the station, the patients cheered.
--
Revolution played on the speakers as the patients danced. Y/N spotted Evelyn MacDonald pushed through the crowd towards Stuart, “Stuart! What are all these patients doing in the corridor? Get them out of here!”
Knock! Knock! Knock!
Evelyn looked to see Y/N looking out through the window, knocking and then she waved with a fake smile before giving her an extremely rude gesture.
“Why are they still broadcasting? Can you not you cut their electricity?” She shouted at a workman and then she went to a reporter, “look, this is NHS property, and I’m going to have to ask you and your friends to leave immediately.”
A few minutes later Campbell announced, “That's exactly what this is, a revolution! Because even now the forces of sanity are massing outside the window, armed with the full weight of the Scottish Mental Health and the Criminal Trespass Act. But we can beat them, loonies! Because you know what we've got? Pride! We are loonies, and we are proud!”
Reach Out I'll Be There played as the police arrived and a policewoman announced through a megaphone to the reporters, “You are trespassing on NHS property. I must ask you to leave immediately.” Campbell looked absolutely delighted. “You are trespassing on National Health property. I must ask you to leave immediately.”
Campbell kissed Y/N on the cheek in triumph and defiantly slammed the fader on the mixer up as loud as it could go.
Then the station window started to open, making them turn to see Eddie opening the window from the outside and he climbed inside.
Grins appeared on the faces of Campbell, Rosalie, and Y/N’s faces.
“You are trespassing on National Health property. I must ask you to leave immediately. If you do not leave immediately, you will be arrested and charged.”
“We're gonna be arrested.” Campbell exclaimed, excitedly and he hugged ecstatically, “We're gonna be charged! This is the most glorious day of my life!!”
He turned to Y/N and placed his hands on her hips loosely, he opened his mouth but nothing came out other than, “I… I…” He didn’t want to scare her off and after her last “relationship”.
“I love you.” She said, putting her arms around his neck.
He blinked and then he grinned and said, “I love you too.” He kissed her when the police broke the station window with a fire extinguisher and opened the door, pushing the obstacles away.
They hauled, Campbell, Y/N, Eddie, and Rosalie out as the reporters took pictures as the patients booed them. Campbell beamed at the cameras before they passed a now awake from her psychological coma Francine.
--
A week later
Y/N beamed from the other side of the radio station glass of Radio Scotland as Campbell laughed at some hate mail as music played softly, “That was Hit the Road, Jack, a special dedication to me, wouldja believe, from an anonymous listener in Bishopbriggs, who writes: ‘I know what you are, and you should be locked up and have your balls cut off.’ So, Gold Boppers, write in to next week's mailbag and let me know what you think. Do you want me to be locked up, or just have my balls cut off, or do you want me to be locked up and have my balls cut off? This is Campbell Bain's Gold Show, so don't touch that dial, just let it be.”
