insane. || luke hemmings au

two.

three weeks. I've been locked up in the hell four three fucking weeks. I hate it. I hate every inch of the ground I'm forced to walk on, and the air im forced to breathe. they watch me like I'm a criminal. there's even a nurse who stays in the bathroom. I've never hated a place more. I don't talk to anyone. I stopped talking in therapy. i want out. I need out.

im the mornings they make sure I eat all of my food. and they make all of the patients take the pills in front of them. but the thing is, I'm not fucking crazy. sometimes life becomes too much to handle, you know? sometimes it feels like I'd be so much better off with my body rotting, then alive. every night, they check my wrists and thighs. I wasn't even sent here for self harm. I shouldn't even be here. this place is making me insane.

luke. the boy that rocks and whispers. his name is luke. that's all he's said to me. I said hi and asked what his name was. "luke." I almost couldn't hear him. but his voice sounded soft and gentile. they keep him in a room with a steel door and bars. it's as if he's a prisoner. but maybe he's not that crazy. maybe they didn't take the time to truly figure him out. but I will.

I looked at the clock. it read 3:52. I made my way to group therapy. instead of sitting in my usual seat, I sat on the ground beside luke. when my arm brushed against his he tensed up. "im sorry." he didn't reply, he just simply nodded.

"jane, please take your seat with the rest of the group." "no." i said. "please. sit in a chair." "im sitting with luke. he's my friend." i wasn't sure how luke would react. "jane. he's a special case. he's insane, now sit up here." "i can't believe the amount of disrespect in the facility. you're supposed to help us.yet were treated like shit. guess what, we're people too. guess what, lukes a person too. he has a heart and feeling. so I'm sitting by luke, or I'm not sitting at all." mrs. gantry, the group leader, looked shocked. "jane I suggest you take your seat, or you can deal with the consequences." "fine. but when this whole entire building burns to the ground, I'm not helping you. instead I'll help every single patient in here and leave you to burn. so fuck you. you judgmental bitch." as I stood up I manage to catch a glimpse at luke. and I'll never forget the smile he had on his face.

a/n: I know its short. I was busy with school so I haven't updated. but here. its probably shit and I'm sorry.
