I walk down the brezzy hallway rubbing the goosebumps on my arm through the sleeve of my shirt. Despite the cold temperature, I was still happy to be here. I still beared a smile on my face. I arrived at a door and looked down at my clipboard to see if I had the correct room.

'Room 8-D' I read. I slowly twist the door knob with shaky hands, I brace myself to meet my new patients. . . My first patients. I open the door and see two boys cuddled up against one another, the sheets draped just below their waists. One was a blonde while the other was a brunette. Although it was pretty adorable, it was against strict rules that patients aren't allowed to date eachother. I walk over to the lovely couple and sit on the edge of the bed in an attempt to wake them. The blonde only shifts.

'They're still alive, great sign.' I write while chuckling. I quickly stop though because this is a mental hospital for teens and now that I think about it that joke was waaay to dark. I crawl on top of them, my body hovering over them and lightly shake them. The brunette boy flutters his eyes. He looks up at me and I smile down at him.

"Hello there you're Harry, yea? I'm Louis Tomlinson, your new nurse. I'll be assisting you and Niall from now on." I whisper. He nods.

"Also you two are not allowed to share the same bed. If you are romantically involved you shouldn't be sharing a room period, but I'll let that slide." I say as I hop off of the bed.

"We aren't romantically involved." He pouts in a deep raspy mourning voice. I raise my eyebrow at him. They were cuddled in bed like they were married for ten years.

"We just met yesterday, we're just friends." He adds while rubbing his eyes. I frown at him and sigh.

"Well you seem pretty close and if Dr. Cowell sees you two together, he's gonna send you or Niall to another room and we wouldn't want that now would we?" I lecture and he shakes his head no. I start to walk towards the door but turn to face him.

"Is there anything I could do for you before I leave?" I ask him. He hesitantly shakes his head no again. I smile at him before twisting the door knob.

"W-wait!" He suddenly says startling me.

"Hmm?" I ask.

"D-do you have to go?" He asks. I look at him.

"No, actually but since you don't need anything I-"

"Water! Yeah that's it, I need water." He suddenly says while fake coughing. I giggle at his adorableness and leave the room to get his water.

"Don't be gone to long!" He yells while blowing a kiss at me causing me to blush slightly. I press the clipboard against the wall and write on it, 'So far so good.'

I continue to walk down the hallway. I walk past a door and hear a faint whimper. I jump.

'Maybe if I ignore it,it'll go away' I think to myself. I continue to walk but then I hear it again. . . and again.

'Don't turn around.' I think while walking faster.

"Let go of me now, Zayn!" The voice yells louder. A lump builds up in my throat.

"Fuck." I mumble. I turn on the heel of my shoe and practically run to where the noise is coming from.

I push open the door. I see a brunette boy being held down by darker haired boy, whom I'm guessing name is Zayn. The brunette boy struggles violently under Zayn's grip. I stand there frozen, the two boys don't even notice me. Is this Zayn lad hurting him?

"LET GO OF ME I WANT TO DIE!" The boy yells under Zayn's grip, I gasp still trying to figure out what's happening.

"I'm not going to let you do this Calum!" Zayn yells in a shaky voice. I hear a loud grunt and now both of the boys are on the floor and Calum somehow is frees himself from Zayn's grip. Calum starts to crawl away towards something, a knife.

"No don't!" Zayn cries. I realized what was happening. Calum was trying to commit suicide. I run up to him and try to pry the knife out of his hands. I goan in pain as my hand slides down the knife. Blood trickles down the palm of my hand. I fall down to my knees as I feel the burning pain. I look over at Calum who has the knife positioned to his stomach. I hear Zayn sobbing helplessly.

"Don't do this!" I yell then hear a 'ding' noise coming from the speaker. Calum drops the knife.

"Breakfast time?" He asks with a goofy smile on his face. I stare at him with my mouth wide open. Calum looks down at the knife then back to himself. He sighs.

"Did it happen again?" He asks. Zayn weakly smiles and nods. Calum scoffs and leaves. I turn my head to Zayn.

"dissociative identity disorder, his name is Liam, but one of his alter egos is Calum, Calum wants to kill Liam." Zayn says in one breath while bandaging my hand.
