-WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?! - My mom was screaming. 

I got up from my hard and uncomfy bed. I'm just a little girl, I didn't do anything wrong, didn't I? I've been here for so long... Not only that, but I can barely open my eyes every morning. This sucks.

-I DIDN'T RAISE YOU TO BE SUCH A LAME CHILD - She's still screaming... - YOU WON'T ACHIEVE ANYTHING IN YOUR FUCKING LIFE.

Tears started to fall from my eyes, but my face was all blank. No emotions. Nothing. I looked at my pills. They are just so... Tasty, I wanted to get one so bad. I was in my head again, I couldn't focus on anything else, somehow. Suddenly I heard the door opening, I turned my head to see what's happening. A doctor said something to my mom, I didn't hear what, everything was blurry... Strange. My mom left the room as soon as the doctor came in.

Hello? - The doctor said warmly. - Is everything okay, sweetheart?


I didn't reply.

-I'm so sorry about your mom... We didn't expect her to act so aggressive. It's my fault I let her in here, my apology.

-I'ts okay, miss Hannah. - I replied quickly. 

-Did you take your medicine? - She said after a few seconds. 

-Yes, Miss.  

I went to my desk to search for my medicine, I have tons of pills, tho. After a minute, I found what I was looking for. I handed doctor Hannah my medicine, so she's sure I'm still taking them.

-Good. - She smiled warmly. - I promise you, everything will be okay, don't you worry. After all, you were doing excellent this week! 

An alarm could be heard from a next room. It was really loud, too loud.

Damn - She was looking worried. - Stay here, Elisa.

I was too stressed to even think what happened, something terrible is going on here. The thing is, I don't know what, but this isn't just a hospital for fucking mental kids. 

Anyway, now when there's time, I want to introduce myself. I'm Elisa and I'm 15. I have long black hair and dark brows eyes, I'm really pale, so people at my school were making fun of me. Now that I think of it, I wasn't in school for 2 years... That's a lot.

The alarm suddenly stopped, and I heard a loud scream, nothing new. 

I headed to my desk again and looked at my old stuff, from home, from school, my old life. Now, I'm just sitting here and taking goddamn drugs all the time. I found my other pills, which Miss Hannah told me not to take, because they are too dangerous for me. That's not important, I feel terrible now, I should take them. 

I closed my eyes and swallowed 2 pills, I wonder if I should take 1 or 2, so basically, like every time, I took 2. I sat on my bed and waited for the results. Furthermore, I don't know how much I need to wait until they will work. I fell asleep. 

Everyone promised me a good life, everyone lied.

I can't take it anymore.
