The Hospital Room (Cashley & Jindy)

Chapter 5

~CC's POV~

I sighed as I sat there, in my bed. The only place I'd been for the last while. I was constantly drugged up so I didn't freak out.

I was schiz apparently... I see things.

I don't know what's real and what's not. People keep telling me that the people that come to visit me aren't real, but they are. I see them, they talk to me. My friends that I had in primary school.

There was Chrissy, she was nice, and her name was like mine. She gave me my nickname of CC. But lately she'd been telling me that I had to murder the doctors... it was scaring me; I didn't want to hurt anyone... not on purpose.

Then I had my friend Mark, he was okay... he kept telling me that people hated me though, and I didn't like that. It made me feel upset, and I don't like feeling like that. I like being happy.

And lastly there was Jack. He is nice- well used to be. Now he just yells and screams at me and shows me horrible things happening to the people in my room. I hate him now but he won't leave me alone.

I could feel the drugs wearing off though, so I was more or less feeling like I usually did. Slowly things started to appear in the room, there were bubbles near Ashley, I love bubbles.

I managed to get out of my bed and wander over to Ashley's bed, he was just... sitting there.

"Hi, Ashley. Why do you have bubbles? I love bubbles... can I have some?" I asked him.

"CC... there's no bubbles." Ashley told me slowly.

"But I see them! They are there, Ashley, they are!" I told him.

"Well... not really, you're imagining them being there. But, I can get real bubbles for you. Real bubbles are more fun." He smiled up at me from his bed.

"But I thought..."

"They aren't there; I promise you they are not there. I think the drugs wore off again." He said sadly and smiled a little again.

"Oh... okay." I mumbled, frowning. I didn't like it when I got told that things weren't really there.

Suddenly, Jack showed up along with Mark and Chrissy. They started to talk to me- but it slowly rose up to yelling- them all telling me that Ashley was going to hurt me, that he would kill me and I must kill him first.

At first I was scared, but then I realized that they must be right, they don't tell me things that aren't true.

I walked back to my bed and grabbed a needle that had been left on the bedside table- I then began to walk back over to Ashley, the needle raised, ready for me to stab Ashley.

"Mm?" Ashley mumbled when he heard me approaching- he wasn't looking.

"You... I need to do this, they're telling me things. I know they're true." I told Ashley- I was right beside him and that was when he looked.

"Fuck! CC! CC no!" Ashley yelled, grabbing my wrists when I tried to stab him.

"I have to! Ashley, let go!" I screamed, struggling with him.

He was a lot stronger than me though, I was fighting a losing battle on my half.

I felt someone grab me from behind and Ashley managed to take the needle from my hand.

"Shh, calm down... no one wants to hurt you." I heard a voice in my ear- it was Andy.

"B-But Chrissy, Mark and Jack told me... they told me that Ashley was going to kill me. I have to kill him first!" I yelled, struggling more in Andy's hold.
