One Flew INTO The Cuckoos Nest

Chapter Twelve

Staying away from Jenny is harder than finding a four leaf clover in a field of three. Especially now, since Ryan himself showed up not two days after the incident. I know that she cheated on Ryan but I can't help but feel she cheated on me too. Everyday from start to finish I bury my nose in my book, but I'm not skimming pages. My eyes navigate their way across the dayroom where I see those two laughing and carrying on and kissing as if I never existed. Me being the way I am; maybe I never did.

One thing I've figured out though is that I can't be mad at Jenny. I try to be, but I can't. Even still, I fight every urge to walk up to her and take her from him and kiss her because she belongs with me. She belongs to me. Not him. And somehow I find myself hating Ryan just like I hated Liam.

Those two are one in the same with their sharp looks and chiseled features. Tall. Handsome. I feel like them girls are too bust ogling over them they don't see the lies. I know there are lies though. How could there not be? Treating them like princesses. Smiling, kissing, but there has to be an exterior motive. I mean, how can it not be a lie that they think they love her more than me?

How can it not be a lie that they've given her their hearts, when I can see them beating in their chests? Their sickly, dark, chests. No. No, I love her more. They don't get to do this! What is it that makes them boys think they're so much better than me? Because I'm crazy... Well then they have no choice. They're either liars of hypocrites 'cause I know they say they're 'crazy in love'.

So now whenever my eyes find those two I can only see Jenny and danger. 'Air Raid, Air Raid.' Bromden's words ring in my head and I know there is something wrong.

I get up abruptly, I can't keep watching this. Putting on a smile I make my way over to where they're  sitting. "Hey Jenny!" I greet enthusiastically. Jenny looks pale and shocked but I don't let the attention dwell on her long. I stick my hand out like a true charismatic man to Ryan who smiles and shakes it firmly, "And you must be Ryan! I've heard tons about you!" I say like I'm Jamie's gossip girl friend.

"Haha, nice to meet you man. What's your name?" Ryan asks. His voice is like a movie star's.

"Ethan." I say with a grin. Ryan nods in approval of me, approval I don't need, and I sit down. After a few minutes of silence Ryan dives into a story about his trip to see his family. I'm too busy smirking to care about that though, 'cause Jenny's eyes are on me in a deep laser glare.
