  I am awoken by the sound of my roommate screaming again. I get up to help her but before I can doctors and nurses are rushing in to help her and calm her down. This is the 4th time this week. I wonder how many more nights I will be awoken like this. This is not the first mental hospital I have been to but none of them compare to this one. I mean when people hear the words " I'm in a mental hospital" the first thing they think about is a suicide attempt. It is not always like that. Its not my case either. People can end up in here for multiple reasons. Now sometimes your lucky enough to escape the mental place and live out on your own. I don't think I'll ever be allowed back out into the real world again.
  Now let me rewind a little. I am not crazy and doing this just for attention trust me. Why would I do this if I wanted attention? I mean it doesn't make sense. If I were dead I would not see the attention. Sometimes people don't understand. I can't tell anyone how I really feel because if I do they say that its all in my brain that its nit real. I don't know how to explain it to people. That when I say I am hurting I actually am. Like everyone has engraved it in my parents brain that I am just doing it for attention. Like what the actual fuck? Why would I do this shit for attention? Nobody seems to understand this. That is why I am in here. They can't understand me so they send me to someone else so they don't have to deal with me.
  Back to the sound of screaming. The nurses can't seem to calm her this time. I am put out of the room and the last thing I see are the nurses giving Angelica sedatives. I am transported to a new room for the night. This room is dark, cold and only has a sink in it. I am told that I will only be here for that night. So I crawl under the scratchy blankets and slowly drift off into a restless sleep.
  I am running through a forest. I am trying to escape someome but I can't see their face. I some how know that they are out to kill me. I look back for a split second and I trip over a broken tree branch. Before I know it the killer is upon me. I can't see his face because he has a mask on. All I can make out is his eyes, thet are not quite blue almost gray. They are peircing me. I see him reach behind him and pull out something. It is a shiny object I try to scream but no sound comes out. He wraps his hands around my neck as if he were to choke me but instead he is shaking me and screaming my name.
"Skylar, Skylar!"
Suddenly I am back in my bed and I am being shooken awake by the nurses. I ask them what happened and they say that they heard screaming coming from my room and came into check on me. I still feel the hands around my neck. I try telling them that someone is out to kill me but nobody is listening. They just keep telling me
  "It's all in your head. It was just a dream"
  Nobody seems to understand me here either. I can't bare this anymore. Someone is coming after me. It wasn't just a dream this happened in real life a few years back. He is coming back for me and it is my job to find him before he finds me.
