Hospital for Souls

Chapter 16

After splashing cold water on my face, I go back into my room and look for clothes to wear today. I decide to wear dark blue skinny jeans, black t-shirt, and my black lace boots that go up to my knees. I then check my phone to see that today I have to go to school today. Being in the Hospital for Souls has made everything a lot more complicated. I can't even tell when I'm supposed to go to school or even when it's the weekend. Now, I have to check my phone all the time to make sure that each day is the correct day.

I go into the bathroom and turn on my straightener. I then run back into my room and begin putting on my accessories. First, I grab a black choker with a red diamond in the middle and put it on my neck. Then, I grab some black jelly bracelets and put them on my wrists. After that, I put in silver hoop earrings and then run back into the bathroom to begin straightening my hair.

It doesn't take me too long today, but I manage to get my hair perfectly straight. After I straighten my hair, I grab my bag of makeup and begin scavenging through it. I find my black eye liner and put it on top of my eyes and under my eyes. Then, I apply mascara to my eye lashes. After applying mascara, I take out red lip stick and put it on. I don't really use bright colors of lip stick like red, but today I feel that I should. Just as I finish putting on my lipstick and feeling ready for the day, I look at my arms to notice how visible the scars and burns are.

Instantly I run back into my room and begin scavenging through my drawer for my concealers. Luckily I find the bag, but when I do I look at the time to see I don't have enough to put any of it on. Instead, I grab my black jacket and backpack, and then head straight down the steps. I grab a pop tart package and a bottle of water and run straight out the door due to the fact that I don't have enough time to eat. Right when I run out the door, a car pulls into my drive way. In an instant I know who's driving this car, its Snake.

I run straight to the car and hop into the passenger's seat. Snake smiles and places a kiss on my cheek.

"Hey beautiful." I smile at him and he smiles back. "Just thought I would surprise you this morning by taking you to school." I wrap my arms around his neck and give him a hug. He instantly wraps his arms back around me and then I slowly let go of him.

"Well, we have to get to school." I say to him. He frowns, but I place a kiss on his cheek which causes him to smile. I then put on my seatbelt and he pulls out of my drive way. We then begin to drive down the road, and luckily Snake makes it right before the bus gets to my stop.

When we finally get to school, I unbuckle and just as I'm about to get out of the car, Snake grabs my arm and pulls me back. I look at him with confusion, but then he smiles at me. I sit still and wait for what he's about to do. He puts his hand over my eyes and I instantly begin to giggle. Then, when he removes his hand, I blink a few times, but then a smile comes across my face as I look at what he's placed right in front of me. He got me a white teddy bear, with a red rose.

Instantly I wrap my arms around him and place a kiss on his cheek. "THANK YOU SO MUCH!" I say to him in a really excited voice. I can feel the happiness running through my body. I've never felt this much happiness going through me before. This is the first time that a guy has actually loved me and wanted to be with me for me, so getting a present like this from someone that I can call my boyfriend brings me a lot of happiness. I remember when I was younger I never thought that this was possible, someone actually loving me, but now someone does. It seems so unreal, but I know it is real and I know that the Hospital for Souls is not making me see this, but this is actual life.

I look at the time and instantly turn my body to open the car door. Then, Snake grabs me again.

"Where do you think you're going?" He asks me. I point to the time and then he realizes that we need to go in the building, or that's what I thought he was thinking. Instead, he smiles at me with a devilish smile. "Why go to school today when we can have some fun?" He twists the keys in the car and begins speeding away. I quickly get my seatbelt on and hold on tight while he drives away.
