Psych Ward (Peterick)

Chapter 30

*Patricks POV*

I sneaked out of my room and quietly went to Joe's. I knocked on his door and I heard him groan. I heard him shuffle to the door and open it up.

'Hey Trick, what are you doing here in the middle of the night?'

'I, uh, can I sleep here tonight, my nightmares wont stop' I quietly spoke looking at my feet.

'Sure'

I quickly went back to my room and grabbed my blanket and pillow and rushed over to Joe's. I layed my pillow on the ground next to Joe's bed and layed down.

'I got troubled thoughts and the selfesteem to match...' Joe began to sing which finally made me sleep.

~~~

'Trick wake up. Theyre gonna check the rooms'.

I woke up and quickly grabbed my blanket and pillow and went back to my own room. I layed in bed and watched the ceeling.

'Pete doesnt love you'

'Petes with you out of pity'

'You're a burden to him'

'You're a burden to everyone'

'No stop. You're lying. Stop'.

I started banging my head against my wall as Vaughn just wouldnt stop.
I was to busy trying to get Vaughn to stop that I hadnt noticed someone shaking me.

'PATRICK, PATRICK STOP' the voice yelled as he hit me in the face which got me out of my daze.

'He doesnt love me. He cant love me' I cried out, my eyes still closed.

'Who, Patrick look at me, PATRICK!' the voice yelled and I opened my eyes revealing a distressed Joe in front of me.

'Is he back?'

Yes.

'Patrick answer me'

'Y-yes' I whispered afraid to look him in the eye.

'They need to know that Patrick'

'No they cant know. That means I have to stay here Joe. I cant take that. I dont want to be here anymore. I cant do it.'

'Patrick they can help you here.'.

'I cant be helped Joe. I'm fucked up. He leaves and comes back. He's part of me. He never leaves completely. He is me'.

'Thats not true Patrick. You arent Vaughn. Yes he's part of you but you can live without him. You dont need him to survive.'

'I cant take this anymore Joe'

'I know Patrick, but you gotta fight. Fight for Pete. You will get better!'

'How do you know'

'Cause you always have to have hope'.

I started to sob and Joe engulved me into his arms rocking me back and forth. I heard the door open and Joe whispering. Soon everything died out and everything went black.
