Asylum

Chapter 4:

******

It was the boy.

His tall figure was crouched in a little corner. He was rocking back and forth mumbling something. His blondish brown hair stuck out and was messy. He looked up at me with his golden brown orbs.

He was covered in rags and his skin looked dirty and had open wounds on it.

"Hi-i" I managed to get this out as my voice cracked.

"Please no hurt j-justin. I is a good boy." he said whimpering as tears threatened to fall. I closed the door behind me. My heart hammered in pity.

I quickly walked over to him. He flinched and curled up even more sobbing at this point.

"Honey I'm not going to hurt you." I lifted his chin and looked him gently in his eyes.

"N-nurses hurt Justin all the t-time." he said tears still running down his face.

I wrapped my arms around him and pulled my handkerchief out. I dabbed at his face slowly. We were only inches apart.

"Y-you are pwetty." he said blushing a deep red.

"Thank you Justin." I said with a warm smile.

"Can I help you clean up a bit?" I said gently. He hesitated a bit, but then slowly nodded.

I wrapped his arm around my shoulders and helped him to his bed. Justin had to be at least 5'9 or 5'10.
My small figure was dominated by his.

I sat him down and inspected his wounds carefully. He had a long jagged scar down the side of his face. Justin had whip marks on his back and a gunshot wound in his left leg.

These people were monstrous and it broke my heart. I have to tell my family to report this place. I lifted his ragged pants and inspected the gunshot wound.

It was deep but the bullet was out. I walked over to grab a cloth and water. Justin and I held some eye contact until he shyly looked at his fingers. He was adorable.

I cleaned his wounds and wrapped them.

"Okay, so would you like to bathe today or tomorrow?" I asked Justin.

"C-can I do it tomorrow please?" Justin asked playing with his fingers.

"Yes you may but why tomorrow." I asked curiously.

"So I can see your angel face tomorrow" he said without stuttering.

"Okay." I said. I helped him into bed after feeding him a simple meal.

"T-thank you, miss?" He said urging me to tell him my name.

"Hazel, Hazel Monte" I said while smiling before leaving to finish my rounds.
