Destructible yet untouchable

Chapter 1

prologue

I look at the clock 10:00 Am

Sleep wouldn't come; nightmares haunted me.

             These vivid dreams are now my reality. I'm alwaysRunning but don't know what I'm running from. I would sleep scared and wake up screaming.It's been ten years since I was taken away from my family, ten years since they burned down my home, ten years since I last saw my reflection. No one knows if my family is alive, but I believe they are, and I won't stop at anything to find them.

          If this was a book, this is how life would go, me being the hero and finding them back, but unfortunately, that's not the case. My own family put me in this place for my own "good." What type of family puts their loved one in a psychiatric center. It's not my fault I can hear voices in my head. Yes, I know it sounds crazy, but that's my reality. The voice has been my only friend; we played guessing games together and daydreamed of our nonexistent future. Being married and having kids, fighting this doctor, and winning, but nope, here I am in this stupid room being evaluated by the doctor yet again.

" number 19200, are you listening."

" Yes, I am, " I said; I have no idea what they just said, but in order to get out of here, I have to fool them all.

" How are you feeling today." Doctor ask

" Great, I was able to fall asleep, take a shower, brush my teeth, and make a new friend."

"it's good to hear you're making new friends. Is it someone I may know" the doctor asks?

Sometimes I wish I could tell them to mind their own business, but I can't. They're like rats with chees; all they ever want is more information. What does she expect me to say. like yes, I made a new friend but it's just the voice in my head with a different voice. So there is only one option lie lie and lie.

" Yes, actually she was part of the group we took part of " think think think 

" Her name is Keto" thats the new girl that came in I think her name is katehline but who know, close enough for me. She doesn't talk very much, and it's not like she can say it's not true.

"that's good to hear you made a new friend; what about your friend in your mind? Are they still there." That idiot of a doctor needs to stop asking questions.

" No, actually, I haven't heard that voice in over two years; it's been peaceful and relaxed," I lied.

"That's good to hear well; we're going to move forward with the rest of the exam, and I will put a good note-in for you to be a move to another department. I will also contact your family, letting them know you're ready to leave. Since you are now 18, you are able to dismiss yourself," the doctor said.

I've heard those words before, but they're all lies.
