Sweaters

Maya's POV:
"How long will it take for him to recover?" I looked into the ocean eyes of the doctor.
"We can't be sure. Right now we have him in restraints, he's too violent."
"Oh my god. Is he gonna have to go to a mental hospital?"
"We can't be sure on that either. He fits the scenario, so we have an opportunity."
"Can I go in there?"
"Since he's in restraints, sure. We'll watch so you'll be safe." I walked into the small room, making sure not to make much noise, since Calum was sleeping. Of course, that didn't work. He opened his eyes, looking over at me. His eyes suddenly got wide and he started to scream. I went over to him, not knowing what to do, and hugged him. He screamed, he kicked, he shook his head, but I wasn't leaving. He started breathing normally after a while and he didn't scream. I looked up at him and his eyes were soft. I put my hand on his cheek and he closed his eyes.
"Calum." Was all I said.
"Maya."
"Is it you?"
"Who else would it be?"
"The person who threw a flower vase at me."
"You calmed me down. Sorry about that by the way."
"Its alright." I kissed him on the cheek and looked at all the doctors. I gave them a thumbs up and they smiled and walked away. I unlatched his arm restraints turned towards Calum and he had a maleficent smile on his face.
"Calum?"
"Thanks." His face started to turn red and his hands wrapped around my neck. "Why didn't you let me die? Huh? You could've let me die! I could've been happy!" He put more and more pressure on my throat until I couldn't breathe. All the doctors had left, so it was just me. I tried reaching towards the nurse help button, but I could reach.
"C-c,"
"Shut up! I could've died! Its all your fault!"
"I-" I tried to get words out. "L-love" my breathing halted. "Y-you." Those were my last words, and everything went black. I heard Calum screeching and realizing what he'd done, and I felt blood trickle onto my lips. Then slowly, everything started to fade away, the beeping, Calum screeching, nurses yelling to get a gurney, and Luke crying.

"Where are we?" I looked around, only seeing clouds. Calum was in front of me, looking me straight in the eye. He turned away and started walking.
"Calum?" I walked after him, but he walked faster than me. I started running, but he was still faster than me. "Calum!" I screamed his name, he stopped, looked back at me, and smiled, then faded away into a cloud of smoke. "Wait! Where are you going?" I ran after him, and I touched something. I rubbed around, then looked at it. It was Calum, gulping down pills and alcohol in a bathtub. He kept saying my name, over and over, taking a pill every time he said it. "Stop! No!" I tried to grasp his hand, but it went right through him. He started to drift away, and you could hear me laughing in the background. "Help him! Somebody!" I screamed and ran out the door, but I was just standing there, laughing. I ran back into the bathroom, but it was too late. He wasn't breathing. I heard the knock on the door and I rushed over, trying to open it, but my hands went through that, too. And then, it started to fade, all of it.

Maya's POV:
Beeping. Talking. Crying. I opened my eyes, to see the same white room I had seen when I laid with Luke, and when I sat next to Calum. But this time, there were no windows. There was a plastic curtain seperating me from everybody. I sat up, and Luke smiled.
"She's awake!" I heard faintly. Doctor Grey turned around and smiled.
"Maya!" I frowned, unsure what was happening. I walked over to the plastic sheet and put my hand against it. It waved a little bit, then stopped. I pressed my fist against it, and it waved again. I threw myself at it, but it didn't budge. I kept doing that, but it wouldn't work.
"We won't get out." I looked over at Calum, who was wearing a straightjacket.
"C-Calum."
"I won't hurt you, I promise." He smiled softly and I hugged him. "They think we're crazy."
"But we aren't. Or at least, I'm not." He laughed at my previous comment. My neck was in extreme pain and I looked down at it to see red everywhere. I gasped, then backed away from Calum, remembering the previous events.
"Maya? You alright?" I looked around, then stumbled backwards into the plastic wall.
"Get me out of here. Please. Somebody!" I screamed and threw myself at the wall, but nobody helped me. I screamed until I couldn't anymore and Luke stood up. He mumbled something to the doctor, and she nodded. He walked out of the room and down the hallway.
"Luke, no! Come back! Please!" I heard a door open from behind me and Luke appeared. "Lucifer." I ran to him and hugged him tightly. He hugged me back and kissed my forehead.
"Mayita." He softly smiled and sat down on the small hospital bed behind him. "Calum."
"What the fuck do you want?" Calum scoffed and laid down on his bed. Luke looked up at me and shrugged. I walked over to Calum and stroked his cheek, then slapped it. "What the hell?"
"Don't talk to my best friend like that." I kissed his now red cheek and walked back over to Luke.
"How's the outside world?" I laughed slightly.
"Could be better," He sighed. "Could be worse. How's the inside world?"
"Could be way better." I glared over at Calum, who was now attempting to drink his water, which conveniently had a straw. I almost laughed, but held it back.
"I, uh, have to go." He looked behind me, and I turned around to see Doctor Grey. When I turned back around, Luke was walking out the door.
"Why am I in here?"
"We don't know if you're safe yet. After all, you did throw yourself at the border."
"Wouldn't you?"
"No."
"You don't know how it feels. I feel like a fucking baboon, being watched from behind a wall all day. I'm trapped in a giant plastic bubble and you just stand there as free as a bird. Well, shows over. Zoo is closed."
"Not all birds are free." She walked out the door and into the hallway, leaving me there with Calum.
"Hey, can you take me out of this?" He struggled to wriggle out of the jacket.
"Promise you won't choke me to death?"
"Promise. If I had a pinky out to promise, I would." He softly smiled, making me glow inside. I unstrapped the jacket from his back and he sighed in relief. "Finally." He wrapped his hands around me and kissed my forehead gently. "Sorry about that, baby."
"Its alright."
"Maybe we can be mental together."
"Maybe so."
