I followed shortly after the boy, everyone following into the room, i walked all the way over to the corner chair, away from everybody else. The boy followed me, and sat by me.

"Ok, so now it's time for you to share your name, age, and why you're here," the therapist, Mrs. Catoline, who eagerly clapped her hands together.

You dont need to share. Dont tell anyone anything

I wonder why. What could be so bad about sharing? Its just who i am, to complete strangers. Fear then washing over my mind, i understood why i shouldn't share. My friend.

I was so out of thought that i missed half of the people saying who they are, and why they're here, how old they are, and whatever.

I heard the boy from across me start speaking.

"Hey guys," he started to speak, brown hair flipped out from his face, and he spoke in a low, but half cheerful voice.

"Hey guys, I'm Jayden, and im 16. Im here for a drinking problem..." he sits back down, and sighs, the purple girl patting him rewardingly. I thought i saw her say 'you did good'.

Hmmm. Everyone seemed to glance over at me. I guess im next...

Dont do this Kyle, dont say a word. Shut up!

Agreed this time. Please dont say anything

'Ugh, what am i supposed to do then? Sit around acting like a moron, pretending not catching onto what the therapist is saying?'

"Im Johnnie, im 17, and im like... here for, suicide attempts."

'Wow, he thinks just like me...'

You're faking yourself out, Kyle.

'Maybe i am, Devil, but he might. You don't know this, or him. Neither do i, but its worth a chance to say something..'

I clear my throat of all the fear there would be to come out, as people glance over at me, casually sitting at the left of Johnnie.

'I like that name for him,' i glance over at him,' it suits him well.'

I then try to say my name, and oh how it got stuck in my throat. I couldn't speak, but silently choke on what my name was. I couldn't get my age out either. Then i felt as if i shouldn't even try to say what im here for...

"You ok, Kyle?" Mrs. Catoline asked me, as i flinched at my name being said.

'Stupid, people know me now... don't you understand how i DONT want to be in this?'

"You ok, K-" Johnnie started to whisper to me, stopping at my name, somehow seeing how i wasn't ok with people calling me, me. Who i am.

'Just dont call me my name, Johnnie. Good boy, dont go forward.'

"Fine," i whisper back.

Mrs. Catoline lookes at me a few seconds longer, and jumped to the wierd guy i sat with today at breakfast.

"Hey, guys! My name is Bryan, and i guess im here for other's safety...? I dont know, if im like, a hazard."

Crazy

'Hey, dont insult him. You and me are both crazy, you bastard.'

They all look at me again.

"Do i have to?" I whisper to Johnnie.

"I think so..."
