The Perfect Mask

Chapter 5

hi! so thank you people who are actually reading this terrible story. I was reading back and I realized how many grammar errors and that stuff I had. I am going to look back and start trying to fix them. anyways, I have no idea where I am going with this and I really enjoy your input. have a great night day or whatever it is where you are at!

~Elliot POV~

"What the fuck?" I said as I walked into the room.

I stared at the TV for a few seconds after I said those words.

They invaded my privacy and placed fucking CAMERAS in my room. FUCKING CAMERAS! What the hell?

"I know this looks bad bu-" James started to say before I cut him off.

"Looks bad! LOOKS BAD!" I scoffed, "You placed cameras in my room! There are some things that are better to be left a secret!" 

I was furious. They have no right to do this. It is not their business. I do not need people to know how weak I really am!

I know I am weak. I fucking hate it. I hate it so so much. 

"Elliot calm down," Eric said in a stern manner.

"Elliot calm down," I mocked, "Don't fucking tell me to calm down. Damn it! I worked hard to create that mask but then you had to go and stick your nose where it did not fucking belong!" 

"We just want to help!" Tom said in a desperate tone.

"Yeah right, what are you going to do to help me. If you truly watched those videos you would know there is no way of fixing me," I told him in an angry tone.

"There are so many ways we can help you, you stupid fucking nitwit! This is an Institution for God's sake!" Lucas growled in an angry manner.

Lucas's angry tone started to scare me. I started remembering when my parents would yell at me and I could feel my body start to shake.

Why did my mask choose to start crumbling now?

I knew I had to get out of here if I did not want them seeing me freak out in front of them. I turned around quickly and started to sprint out of the room.

Suddenly I felt someones hand on my shoulder. I do not know who this is. Wait. What if it is my father? What if he broke out of prison? What if he found me? 

"NO! I AM SORRY SIR!" I shouted out quickly.

~Eric POV~

After I had told Elliot to calm down he seemed to freak out even more. I don't even think he realized that his breathing was getting quicker.

I was think about how to calm this situation down before Elliot or someone else started having a panic attack when I heard Lucas say in a harsh manner, "There are so many ways we can help you, you stupid fucking nitwit! This is an Institution for God's sake!"

That was a bad move. Like a really bad move. I understand that Lucas has anger issues and he can't help it, but this is bad.

From what I can tell, Elliot has been insulted his whole life. This will definitely worsen the situation.

Elliot turned around quickly and started to sprint away from us.

Simon had most likely already been suspecting this reaction, so he quickly grabbed on to Elliot.

Another bad move. He has been abused basically his whole life. Shit. I really need to stop this.

Elliot then screamed, "NO! I AM SORRY SIR!"
