Doug's POV

I sat on the curb of the sidewalk with my head in my hands. An ambulance was parked outside not too far from where I was sitting.

I looked up to see them rolling a gurney in the trunk. Who were they taking to the hospital? A guy named Kyle.

He's about 5'9, is a semi heavy person. He was your typical jock and a major bully. As I watched him being placed in the ambulance, I couldn't help but cringe at the damage that I've done to him.

All the blood, all the burns, all was done by me! All because I couldn't control myself. I looked the other way and see my dad, step mom, and little sister.

Daisy, my step, mom was holding my little sister, making sure she couldn't see anything. My dad on the other hand held disappointment in is eyes.

The ambulance drove off and a police car drove up. Two cops emerged from the car and approached me.

Both of them grabbed me by my arms and placed me in handcuffs before shoving me in the back of their squad car.

They slammed the door and turned to my parents. I could hear their muffled voices as they spoke.

I looked back at the students that were watching from the windows of the school. I heard my dad yelling a few times.

Both of the cops got into the car and began to drive off. The ride seemed to take forever. "How are you holding up there, son?"

The cop in the passenger seat asked after about 15 minutes of driving. The cop that was driving elbowed him.

"What do you think your doing?" He whispered-yelled. "I was just making conversation." The other one mumbled.

"I don't care! You do not make friendly conversations with a criminal!" The other yelled. "Give me a break, Max!

He just a kid!" The other argued. "That don't mean squat! Those who were arrest, you aren't ever supposed to be nice to."

Said the other. He paused for a moment and looked at me through his mirror. "Then again, you won't have to with this one.

This little looney ain't going to the slammer, heh heh." He continued. At that I looked up a little more.

"Where am I going?" I asked. The cop that was driving punched and dented the bars that separated me from them.

"YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO REMAIN SILENT, YA HEAR?!!" He barked. The other cop shook his head.

Within 10 silent minutes, we pulled up to some large building. There were people standing behind a barbed fence.

"Heh! Can you believe they let those nut cases wander around outside?" The cop in the driver seat asked.

The other cop didn't answer. They both got out of the car and the mean one opened my door and pulled me out by my hair.

He then shoved me forward and kept a firm grip on my arm. "Keep it moving, kid!" He said. The other cop held the door open for us.

The inside of the place was small. Or at least the area was. There was a desk in front of us and behind it was a room that was closed off by a large fence like cage.

I knew where I was. I was at an asylum. I knew when I saw the patients outside. There was a lady at the front desk.

"Can I help you?" She asked. The cop that had tried being nice to me handed her a sheet of paper.

"Ah, yes, him. Well, I can take it from here, gentlemen." She said. I felt the cuffs get removed and I gently rubbed my sore wrists.

The cops left and the lady behind the desk came by my side. "Follow me, please." She said. I didn't say a word.

She placed her hand on my back and guided me threw one of the side doors. "Name, please?" She asked.

I looked up and saw a nurse standing beside us with a clipboard. "Irons.... My name is Doug Irons."

I replied. The nurse wrote my name down and walked away. The lady that was at the front counter had led me to a room.

She then handed me a towel, boxers, and a hospital gown. "Beyond this door is the showers.

Take a shower and change into the gown. The doctor will be with you shortly." She told me.

She didn't wait for me to respond. She just walked away. I looked up at the door and pushed it open.
