When We Met: The asylum

Part 2

They explained that they lived in LA and they had a big house there. "I have been saving up for leaving in a secret bank account. I can pay for 2 months rent right now. And I can split the hotel room." I said in response to them inviting me to live with them.

My phone turned on and I had 100 missed calls and 200 messages.
Mom: baby come back!
M: please
M: I'll leave him.
M: now listen here you ungrateful little bitch... You will come home now!
Stepdad: look what you did. Your mom left me.
SD: she came back she will always come back to me.
SD: i matter more to her than you. We can lose you. We don't need you.

"Sorry I don't mean to pry but that's crazy." Colby said looking down at my phone.
Ryan: Baby
R: Babe?
R: Are you okay?
R: it's been a week
R: please tell me you are okay.

"Boyfriend?" He asked. "No. Ex" I replied shortly.
Ezmy: Heyy girly when your able to please let me know you are okay. I love you. I hope you got out of that hell. I hope you will soon be happy.

"Best friend." I said looking up at Colby smiling.
Kole: I hope your dead
Liz: Don't come back
Amanda: come one guys stop! It's not funny! You are heartless, worthless people!
K: awe look at little miss nobody stand up for a skank
A: you're just upset that she didn't want to have sex with y'all.

"Damn. You have many fans I see." He joked making me laugh. "Yeah. I was the most popular kid in school." "Really? Your out of school?" Jake asked. "Oh yeah! I'm 23" "I thought you were like 18" Corey responded. "March 4 1998" I smiled at them. "Were you actually the most popular?" Sam asked. "I would say I was popular, but just for picking on. Sometimes I feel like that is all I'm good for."

I thought back to how many times I had been knocked down or verbally assaulted in school. I looked out the window and started to cry.

The ride was silent for about 5 more minutes before Sam said, "Nicole? You okay?" "Uh.. I don't know" I laughed a little. "We will be in the hospital in less than a minute." He said as Colby put his hand on my dirty thigh. I looked at him and gave him a fake smile.  He  did  the  same  back  to me.

We walked into the hospital and it felt like everyone was staring at me, a girl who's hair was naturally blonde but because of not being able to shower was a dirty grey, gross clothes and dirty body.

"Oh my!" One of the nurses rushed up to us. "Miss, are you okay?" She said examining my body. "I'm okay. I hit my head really hard and passed out. I need to get it checked out." I said, she looked concerned then looked at the boys. She leaned into me and whispered, "are you safe?" I laughed a bit.

        "They saved me actually. I'm homeless and they found me." I said smiling back at them at the end. "Oh. Okay. Well we have to do some paperwork. Are you bleeding?" "I believe so." I answered. "That's why she passed out." Corey added. "Okay. Thank you. Only one of you can join her if any of you want to." She said. "Oh it's okay they don't-" I was cut off. "I'll go." Colby said and the woman nodded and lead us to a room.

   "You didn't have to..." I said "but thank you." He gave me a nod and smile.  "Why?" I asked after about 10 seconds of silence. "Why what?" He stopped looking at his phone and at me. "Why are you guys doing this?" I asked with a little sass in my voice.

"Well. Honestly. I don't know why but I trust you. Your eyes..." he just stared at me for a moment. "They are just so beautiful, they are golden with green and yellow specks. They are also tired and sad but caring and sweet. I trust you." He said without breaking eye contact. "Oh.." "why are you trusting us?" He asked before I could speak again.

           "You-" I started but continued with, "Well. I'm pretty good at knowing when someone is toxic. You know the vibes that you get when you're next to someone who is really sketchy? Well I kinda have a feeling for every thing. Plus your friend Sam... reminds me a lot of my brother." I said playing with my ring. "You do that a lot." He pointed it out. "It's his. My brother's before he left he promised he would get me back but he never came back. I don't blame him. He wrote to me a lot, he's working really hard at trying to be able to get me to him." I faked a smile again when looking at Colby again.

"Hello!" The doctor said abruptly ending our conversation. "Hello." I said sweetly. "Now what can I do for you?" "I hit my head on a metal desk and then it started bleeding and then I passed out." I explained. "Okay. What's your name?" "Nicole Alexandra Glen" I answered. "Okay Nicole. Who is that man over there?" "He found me." I answered.

          "Before or after you passed out?" He said looking at my clothing. "I've been homeless for a week. They came into where I was living and scared me. The found me right after I hit my head." I said smiling at the doctor. "Okay now where did you get this?" He said lifting my hair.
