TW: Cutting & Abuse

Same routine.

Room. Outside. Lunch. Room. Bathroom break. Room for the rest of the night.

I was so tired of being confined to the same room every day for a month. I laid on my back and stared up at my patted ceiling when suddenly someone knocked on my door pulling me out of my thoughts.

I got up off my little palate of a bed and walked over towards the door to see who it was.

I peeped out the little peep hole and it was the blue haired kid from the garden. He whispered something to me but I couldn't hear him. Seconds later my door was opened and there he stood.

"How did you-"

"Swiped Nurse Creepy's key card. Here I brought you this from the nurses' private vending machine."

He handed me a thing of animal crackers. I hesitantly took them.

"I didn't put anything in them. If you don't believe me then come with me and buy you some more."

"Why would I trust you? Wasn't you the same person who tried to kick me out of your garden?"

He grabbed my arm and pulled me into him by accident causing us to fall to the floor.

I landed on top of his lap and he smirked at me. I quickly got off him and stood back up.

He dusted himself off and walked off in silence. I didn't know if I was supposed to follow him or not. I scurried down the hallway to catch up to him.

"Heyy! Slow down!" I whisper-shouted at him.

He sped up his pace as I chased after him. After I finally caught up to him, I spun him so that he was facing me.

"What?! What is it you want!"

"What's gotten into you? You was willing to give me some animal crackers now you don't even wanna be associated with me?

What the actual fuck dude."

"You wouldn't understand so just leave me alone! My bad for trying to be nice to you!.."

He stormed off again but before he got too far I grabbed him by his arm causing him to wince in pain.

I looked down at his arm and his arm was full of cuts and bruises.

"Did you c-"

He pulled me off to an isolated area that was overgrown in vines. After he let go of my arm, my eyes never left his arm.

He took a deep breath before he spoke again.

"Yes.. I've been cut, but it wasn't by me. It was done by someone else.."

He rolled up his sleeve a bit higher and his arm was covered in bruises. Many of the bruises were purple.

Meaning those were only a couple days old. I reached out for his arm and this time he tried not to wince as much.

I examined over the cuts and bruises that looked to be in extreme condition.

"Where's the first aid kit? Your cuts and bruises need to be taken care of."

"I'm fine. Don't worry bout me. I-I just tripped... A lot."

I chuckled a bit.

"Seriously. Where is the kit?"

"In the nurse's office inside the cabinet on the third shelf."

I asked him which way was I supposed to go so I could get him the supplies he needed for his bruises and cuts.
