IMPULSES - C.T.H

-chapter 1-

-Sam-

Here I am in the car on my way to eat ice cream with my parents Jenna and Joe and my twin brother Michael when I notice that we had just passed the ice cream store "dad, you just passed the ice cream store" I said but he didn't say anything and kept on driving. I decide to ignore it and fall asleep on Michael's arm. I get woken up by my mother "Samantha wake up sweetie we're here" when I open my eyes the first thing I see is a sign that says EICHEN HOUSE MENTAL HOSPITAL "mom what are we doing here" I ask but she just keeps on walking I follow her in and I see my dad with two bags "Michael and Samantha Clifford ready to check in" a worker says and then I notice we're here because we are being instituted in here for treatment. I raged out and start to scream at my parents "why would you do this to us!?" some nurses come in and try to take hold of me knowing of my condition knowing I could hurt someone "we're sorry" both my parents say. Michael comes to me and looks at me in the eyes "Sammy baby calm down" he says and hugs me but we were soon separated by a nurse saying that RULE #1 is NO TOUCHING EACH OTHER. Two men instantly come in and take a hold of me, a nurse sticks a needle in my neck; I instantly feel weak and my eyes close...

I wake up in a white room "where am I?" I ask "oh! you're awake? you are at Eichen House Mental Hospital, my name is Avery and you are?" she asks "umm, I'm Sam" I answer. "I like your red hair, it suits you very well" Avery says "you should see my brother's" I say. I instantly notice that Michael isn't here "Michael!" I scream "shhh! you're gonna get in trouble" Avery says. The second she says that in comes a man "Samantha Marie Clifford time to go to the doctor" he says "I wanna see Michael where is he?" I ask hysterically but he just walks away and I follow him. He soon opens a door that says DR. GENEVIEVE on it and there I see him my other half Michael Gordon Clifford. I run over to him and hug him tightly because it might be the last hug we will ever have until we get out of this hell hole.

After talking to Dr. Genevieve we had to go back to our rooms so I hugged Michael one last time. "How'd it go with Genevieve?" Avery asks as soon as I get there "okay I guess I saw my twin brother for a while so yeah" I answer. "Why are you being instituted in here?" Avery asks "uh I don't wanna talk about it now" I answer back "oh ok, but you're gonna have to talk about it soon at group" she says. "w-what?" I stutter "yeah they make us sit in a group with the other patients
and talk how we've been doing" she responds.

It's 4:30pm and it's time to go to group, Avery tells me to follow her to where the group meeting is always held. Once we get there my eyes lock into the sight of my brother "Mikey!" I run and take the seat right next to him and then Avery sits next to me. "Avery this is my brother Michael, Michael this is Avery my roommate" I say "nice to meet you" they both respond at the same time. The 3 of us laugh a bit and in comes Dr. Genevieve "seems you guys are getting along well" she says the 3 of us stop laughing. "okay let's get this meeting started, we have 2 new patients that are joining us today; would you be so kind to present yourselves to the rest of the patients?" Dr. Genevieve says. Michael gets up "um I'm Michael, I'm 17; I suffer with depression and self harm" he says to the group and then sits down. As I'm getting up to introduce myself, a guy with dark brown hair and brown eyes comes in "Calum, why are you late?" Dr. Genevieve asks the boy I presume is named Calum. "uhhh I just woke up from my nap" he says "irresponsibility" is the only thing Dr. Genevieve said before asking him to take a seat. "continue" she says while looking at me "oh um ok my name is Sam, I'm 17; I suffer with impulse control disorder" I say and sit down quickly putting my hoodie on and looking down. "now the rest of you introduce yourselves please, we're starting with Calum" Genevieve says. He stands up "ok I'm Calum, I'm 17; I suffer from depression" he says "Hi I'm Avery, I'm 16; I suffer from impulse control disorder" and so on goes the rest of the patients.

Avery and I make our way back to our room i decide to take a shower. Once I get out of the shower I put on some sweatpants and my cte sweater. "Goodnight Avery" I say "Night Sam" she responds. I drift off to sleep thinking when will we get out of here.
