I watched as my home town disappeared, out of view
we were on what seemed like an endless loop of road.
Tears began to form, as I took in reality.
How long do I have to stay here??
As my thoughts wondered my eyes began to get sleepy.
"Get up"
"Hmm what?" I groaned still half asleep not knowing what's going on
"We're here"
Oh yeah I remember my family sent me away to a shitty psych ward, I recall.
I stood up and jumped out the van.
I looked at the boring white secure building in front of me.
it looked like a prison
"Through that door" the man said
I rolled my eyes at his lack of emotions, Craig and him would get along.
I stepped in, observing my surroundings
Plain like the outside, just like I expected
I was bought to a room, where two nurses asked me questions and did an assessment, I don't really know what for
I was feeling overwhelmed
One of the nurses told me the rules and how things work around here
And let's just say I don't think I'm going to like it here..
I was given plain white trousers and a long sleeved shirt to wear.
I'm not allowed to wear my own clothes because they can be a health hazard??
After all that fuzz I was escorted to a white room, I heard the door lock behind me
"Um does that have to be locked?"
"Yes."
God these people are like brick walls
I looked around
a mattress in the middle of the floor, with no sheet and a very thin blanket, I'm going to freeze..
Everything was anti edges, it was all curved
The window opened the tiniest gap and there wasn't even a curtain
There was a tiny room attached to this room, no door
I peeked in it was a mini bathroom, not a luxurious type at all it looked like one in Prison.
I laid down on the pathetic attempt of a bed and cried
I cried and I cried
I don't even have a phone to talk to my family, though I'm pissed of at them for sending me here.
In the corner of my eye I saw a movement at the window of the door, i looked up to see a nurse just staring at me.
I'm never going to get used to this.
I didn't even know the time, there was no clock in here, it was beginning to get dark.
The nurses screamed from the hallway "lights out"
I feel like a child.
"AHHHHHH" "shhhhhh" "BEEP BEEP BEEP"
What the fuck, I sat up rubbing my eyes letting them adjust to the light shining though the blinds on my door.
The noise continued, it sounded like a scene out of the horror movie.
I attempted to peak out my blinds, all I could see was one crazy looking guy laughing like a maniac. While a nurse tried to shush him
Nope.
Fuck that.
I laid back down, attempting to ignore the blaring alarm
-Time skip-
"Wake up." The nurse spoke banging on my door
I groaned, I had a terrible sleep due to
1. How cold I was
And 2. The fucking alarm that was blaring for hours
I'm not a morning person and never will be, I could tell it was early due to sun rise in the distance.
I hate this so much
I feel like my rights are being stripped away from me
I don't know how long I can last here for
Hey! At least I'm not thinking of alcohol
Guess this shit kind of works
After a quick shower, with very low pressure warm water I changed into my second pair of white trousers and shirt.
The door unlocked "breakfast follow me."
I nodded before following the nurse
Dude are you serious
I stared at the gruel on my plate
I feel like Oliver Twist.
Cold chunky but somehow liquid porridge stared back at me
I winced and pushed the tray away from me in disgust.
Think I'll just skip breakfast
I look up to see Some smiley guy skipping towards me
Oh god no.. I'm not planning on making friends here
This guy does not seem stable.
I let out a fake attempt of a smile
He continued to grin back at me creepily
What does he want?
"So you're the new kid"
God what the fuck is this, High school??
I nodded
"Well I'm Jamie you can be my friend" he smiled
I sighed "look Jamie I really appreciate the offer but um I'm not planning on making friends here, but um thanks for the offer"
Jamie stared at me for a few seconds his smiley face turned into one you'd capture on a psychopath, I shivered.
Without warning he lunged at me and began punching
What the fuck is going on??
I attempt to get out of his grasp, but he's so fucking strong.
One last hit
I'm out cold.
Time skip (1 week later)
I rubbed my temples, trying to soothe my headache.
I can't do this anymore
This place is hell
That Jamie kid has been on my back relentlessly, apparently he's actually a diagnosed psychopath.
Which is just my fucking luck
The nurses here basically abuse you, the way they speak and laugh at us.
The food is fucking disgusting, I haven't really ate at all for the last 7 days
This place is hell
I want to go home.
Kyles Pov
It's been a week since Stan got checked into the psych ward, and todays visiting day.
Me Kenny and Sharon all decided we'd take turns to see him as he's only allowed one visitor.
I haven't been in contact as he's not allowed his phone, I've missed him so much and each time I feel down I tell myself it's for stans good.
Finally I was outside the building, it does actually kind of look like a prison.
Don't judge a book by its cover I tried to tell myself.
I sat down on a chair a glass sheet separating what I guessed was the visitor from the patient.
I bounced my leg anxiously waiting for stans appearance.
After a few minutes he finally walked in, he looked skinnier than normal? And kind of pale.. he wore only white.
Is that a bruised eye?
"Long time no see" I smiled at Stan
Stan half smiled "hi ky" he sounds exhausted
"What happened to your eye?"
"I fell." He spoke blandly
What the hell it's like talking to Craig, where's Stan gone.
"So how is it here?" I asked trying to pick the conversation up
"Fucking awful.. I hate this place" Stan slightly raised his voice
I nodded "it's only for 3 months Stan.."
"3 MONTHS!?!???"
"Um yes did no one tell you that" I nervously laughed
Stan shook his head "no no I can't... I'll go fucking crazy. I can't Kyle.. "
He sounded distraught, i bit my lip feeling bad before I could say or do anything, the nurse interrupted us.
"Times over" he spoke before pulling Stan sway out of my view
Stan really doesn't like it here..
