In Love With An Evo ( A Heroes Reborn Trad FanFic)

Chapter 9

    I woke up in a bright all white room. I try to get up from the bed that my body is on but I can't. My wrists and ankles are tied to the metal bed posts. I look to my left see a girl lying there asleep, bound like I am, on a bed similar to mine. I look closely at the girl, is that...it's Emily! No! I struggle to break the ties that bind me but they won't budge. I open my mouth to yell but nothing comes out, my mouth is dry and scratchy. Where am I? Where's Tommy? He was just... We were just... What happened?

    A woman comes in dressed in white carrying a metal tray with small plastic cups and a clear cup of water with a straw in it. She sets the tray down, picks up the cup of water,and moves the straw by my mouth. I drink fast and greedily to try and satisfy my burning throat. She pulls it away and sets it back on the tray and then she moves to Emily. I yank against my restraints and try and yell 'No' but it just sounds like a breathless cry. The woman just fixes Emily's pillow and adjusts her blankets.

"What a sweet looking girl. Its really too bad her life had to be this way." The woman says sadly.

"Tommy..." I croak.

"Okay Brad sweetie, I hate that I have to explain this to you again and again but I guess I have no choice." How does she know my name? Does she know where Tommy is? Can she help me? She sits at the foot of the bed I'm on with a forlorn look on her face. She clasps her hands together and let's out a tired sigh.

"Tommy!" I say again, with more force and clarity.

"Brad... You know that Tommy isn't real honey. He never existed, he was just a figment of your imagination. You made him up, there's no boy that has special super powers that's in love with you Brad. 'Evos', as you called them, don't exist. They never have and they never will. You haven't been living a normal romantic teenage life with 'Tommy', you've been here at Trinidad for the last 4 years." I look at her in disbelief. No. He is real. It was real. This can't be right. This must be a nightmare. No no no no no. "I'm sorry honey. You are very sick. You have a thing called schizophrenia remember? You here and see things that aren't real. Your mom and step father were very worried about you, so they brought you here to get you help because they love and care about you." She stands up and looks down at me with a sad look on her face.

    I frantically shake my head and look to the bed that's only 6 feet away from me, "Emily..." Shit, my throat still hurts.

"No Brad, That's Anna Anderson. She has been your roommate for two years now. She's not Emily, your ex-girlfriend." She takes a needle with a syringe and injects what ever was in it in Emily's arm.

"No! No leave her alone! Where's Tommy! He's real! He's real! He is real!" I start yell, ignoring the pain, and two men in white come in and automatically hold me down. I fight against them as the woman injects something into my arm like she did to Emily.

"It's okay...shhh...you'll be okay. This'll just help you sleep sweetie. I was really hoping that you'd be calm enough to take your pills today instead of this but I guess not. Maybe Tomorrow hun. You just rest and I'll be back when you wake up." As she walks away black dots cloud my vision until I'm surround by nothing but darkness.
