Asylum

Chapter 2

I walk back to the door and knock. A few seconds later they open the door. I walk to the elevator and go back down to the 1st floor. I walk to the front desk and Doctor Tom walks up to me.'' So Aria, how did it go?'' he asked.

'' Uh, it went well... kind of,'' I answered. '' Don't worry he'll get used to you the same way you'll get used to him.'' he says trying to comfort me. '' okay I have to get going I have school tomorrow.'' I say. '' okay well see you tomorrow.''

I walk to my car and get in. I drive home and see another car there So I assume my mom is home from work. I park and enter the house. ''Hi, mom.'' I smiled.

'' Oh hey, I didn't even hear you enter. How was your day at work?'' she replied. '' It was in the middle. I got a new patient and he killed over 50 people!'' I said. ''Well you decided to become a therapist, this is what comes with it,'' she explained.

''I know mom but I want to help people.''Yes, I know but if you have a job like a therapist you have to expect to help or work with these types of people.''

She was right. I should've expected this. But I have to remember we just met. I'm going to commit mistakes but as long as I learn from them everything is going to be fine.  Hopefully.

I park in the school parking lot and get out of my car. I grab my things and lock the car. I walk into the school and get greeted by my friends. '' Hey, Brooke. Hey Ash.'' I say while they walk to them.

'' hey Aria!'' they say at the same time. '' Oh, I forgot to tell you guys... I got a new patient at the asylum.'' I started. '' I don't know why you still work there I would be scared,'' said Ash.

'' I still haven't decided what I'm going to do after high school. Plus if I'm able to help a person it makes me feel proud ,'' I explained. ''It's kind of like math if your able to solve a problem you're going to feel proud,'' Brooke added on. ''

I know you're not comparing math and psychos-''  began Ash. '' There not psychos... they just need help.'' I said.

'' Okay okay but... just be careful,'' he warned. '' I will be,'' I  promised.

I walk into the asylum and go to the 5th floor. The guards open the door and I enter. I go knock on the door and say'' I'm coming in!''. I enter and see Oliver holding his stomach.

I put my clipboard down and ask '' what's wrong?''. '' I'm hungry.'' he groaned. ''Did they give you food?'' I ask. ''I wouldn't be hungry if they gave me food!'' he snapped.

'' I'll be right back.''

I grab my clipboard and leave the room. I knock on the door and the guards open it. '' Is there any food?'' I ask knowing that they wouldn't let me bring in food. '' Yes'' replies the guard with a straight face and no eye contact.

'' Can I have some?'' I ask. '' Sure,'' says the guard. He leaves and a few minutes later he comes back with food. '' Thank you.'' I was about to turn around until the guard stopped me.

'' You can't eat here.''

'' I know it's not for me.''

'' Who is it for?''

''Oliver. He's hungry and you haven't given him food. So I'm going to give it to him myself.''

I walk back to Oliver's room. Knock and go in. He's still in the same position. ''Here'' I say while handing him the food. He slowly grabs the food and nods.
