(Back Round information)
Gracie Young is a 17 year old girl who suffers from schizophrenia..she is abused by her mother (Scarlett Young) since her father died..she was put in the Mental Illness Hospital at the age of 14 when her mother found her with cuts on her wrists and a mouth full of pills (she was attempting suicide). Ever since then her mother visits her in hopes Gracie will get better..Gracie has 3 friends (the voices in her head) that I introduce near the end of the chapter. Gracie is very alone and doesn't understand the voices she hears in her head..but soon she will.
-------------------
Gracie's POV:
I sat..alone in a dark, cold room waiting for the guard to come and take me to my daily routine. I saw a man's face pass my window and stop on the other side of my door..the door shrieked open.
Voice 1: Who could that be? What do they want?
Voice 2: It's just the guard we will be fine.
Voice 3: Yea, he's right relax a little..it will only hurt for a second.
Voice 1: What will hurt? What is he going to do to us?!
Voice 3: Oh, he's only going to tear us apart...
Voice 2: Would you stop doing that to her, she's only a child..plus she hasn't done anything to you!
"Oh my precious baby! How are you doing it feels like I haven't seen you in forever!" I hear as my mother runs into the room..light following her every step closer.
She came and gave me a hug but I sat still..not moving at all. She looked me in the eye..her eyes were happy and full of life..but my eyes were dull and full of nothing..I envy her..my own mother, she was a beautiful petite kind of girl, she had light blonde hair and light blue eyes..she was very fashionable and how would I put it..'in style'.
As for me I had dark brown hair, and grayish eyes..my mom always told me I looked like my father..but wouldn't know, he died when I was very little maybe, 3 or 4? I can't really remember..
"Well don't act like you don't know me.." she started to frown.
I just shrugged..I didn't know what to do..I felt lost.
Voice 1: Mom looks beautiful as always..
Voice 2: Of corse she does.
Voice 3: It's like she's rubbing it in..it's like she's flaunting her beauty and happiness..
My mom walked over to the guard..she whispered but I knew exactly what she was saying..
"She seems like she changing.." my mom says.
"You say that every time Ms. Young, but you and my both know..that is untrue" the guard whispers while staring at me.
Voice 1: Why do they do that?
Voice 3: Do what?
Voice 2: talk about us right in front of us..
Voice 3: It's rude and they don't understand that it hurts when they do it..
Voice 2: I know dear but it's ok..
"Ok come along it's time for breakfast" the guard says with a strong voice.
I stand up and walk out the door my mother behind me and the guard next to her...everyone is staring at me but I don't know why..is it my face? Is it how I look? What is it?
"What are you staring at?!" I shouted.
"No one is staring at you Gracie! Now be quiet!" My mom said while pinching my arm..
Voice 1: And another bruise..why does mommy do that to us..sometimes I feel like I could just choke her..it makes me sad when she does that..
Voice 2: It'a our fault..at least that's what she always tells us when we mess up..
Voice 3: Well she can go rot in hell for all I care..
I recognized everyone in the room..Jan (49) she was in here for bipolar disorder..Sam (12) he's here for autism...Pam (63) Alzheimer's disease..Oliver (26) MPD (Multiple Personalities Disease), and many more..also my 3 friends..Sarah (10), Amanda (41), and my favorite John (21). I recognized everyone, but one guy in the corner of the room. He had dark brown hair and greenish brownish eyes..he was gorgeous I've never seen someone so attractive in my life..he looked at me and smiled..I looked away quickly..I didn't know what to do.
Sarah: That man was cute..
John: Not as cute as me..
Amanda: Ew, shut up John
Sarah: *giggles* Mandy you're funny
We kept walking toward a room..I didn't remember every seeing this room nor had I ever been in it..
I stoped and my mom punched my again.
"Why would you stop?! We are almost there, keep walking!" My mo whispered in my ear so no one would hear..my eyes started to fill with tears but I swallowed my sob and kept walking pushing through the tears falling down my cheeks..
Sarah: That hurt..another bruise added to our arm..why does mommy keep doing this to us..
Amanda: We deserve it..
John: The hell we do! We need to do something about it..Hey Gracie turn around and slap her..slap her right across her beautiful, smug face!
I turned around and looked my mother right in the eyes..I looked around to make sure no one was around and slapped my mom..she fell to the floor and I started to laugh..but the guard didn't think it was funny he grab me and started to pull me and I started to scream! He was hurting me!
My eyes started to fill up with tears again I looked down at my mom who was on the floor holding where I had hit her and I mouthed the words 'fuck you' she looked disgusted when I said that.
"No it's fine..I'm going to take her to the bathroom I will meet you in the room" my mother said grabbing my arm with a tight grip.
"How dare you strike me..your own mother!" She grabbed my hair and pushed me to the floor and started to kick me and hit me..I was crying and screaming but there was no use..no one could hear me anyway..a few moments after she picked my head up and slammed it to the floor..everything went dark and all I could hear was my three friends..talking to me? Or each other? I couldn't make out what they were saying..I was scared and cold and it was dark. I just sat doing nothing as I heard my mother scream, her scream woke me and I jumped up. The guard rushed in.
"She slipped!" My mother lied.
"She's fine, let's go get a bag of ice for her head."
I watched as they both left me laying on the bathroom floor. I saw a man in the corner of my eye walk in.
"You look like you need some help!"
