Living In The Shadows

Chapter 3

Present

   I sit in my bed looking out the window, watching the rain drops slide down the window slowly. I stare out the window and wonder how it feels to be in the outside for the first time in months. To feel the fresh air hit my dry skin and feel the green grass tickling my bare feet. I want to feel all that but I know that that won't happen any time sooner.

   While I'm trap in my own little bubble, I start to hear someone screaming and yelling. I recognize the voice so I go up go my door window and see that it is Gina trying to get loose from the doctors hands. "I didn't do it! I swear I didn't do it! Please!" She tries to push them off but it's no use because obiviously the doctors are stronger than she is. She screams and yells but the doctors don't listen to her and keep on pulling her with them.

   I see the other patients looking out as well and I can't help but feel anger. Gina starts to hit them both and that only makes them angrier and pull her even harder. "It's no use Gina, there's cameras everywhere. We saw that if was you who stole the needle." One of the doctors said.

   "It was for someone I swear. It wasn't for me, please don't do this!" Gina cried and pushed them even harder. She was still wearing her sleeping gown and her hair was all over the place.

   The doctors order more help from their walkie-talkies and I see more doctors come running towards Gina. Gina screams even louder and kicks but it's no use because with three more strong guys, you can't just win. I see so much horror and Gina's eyes and I can't help but feel anger inside me. I know where they're taking her. They're taking her to the worse place someone can ever be in.

    The room is a small room with just one bed and a sink with a toilet. They put the patients there when they break a rule or have gone crazy. They tie them up on the bed and doctors come one time a day to untie them to let them do whatever they need to do. It's pure hell.

   I decide to make the biggest mistake I will ever make and start banging on the door for the doctors to see that I wanted to say something. At first they don't listen and I start yelling out for them and finally one of them turns to look at me and tells the others something. One of them walks towards my door and unlocks it. At first I stand still looking at him and then at Gina with tears streaming down her face.

   I finally got the guts to speak and say, "I made her do it." I say.

   "Excuse me?" The doctors asks. He turns to look at Gina and looks back at me. I look at Gina and I see confusion in her eyes.

"I made Gina take the needle so she can bring it to me." I say and my hand start to shake but I put the aside because right now that doesn't matter.

The doctor looks back at Gina and stares at her for a split second and asks, "Is this true?" I looked at Gina and she is looking at me with wide eyes and shaking her head as if she was telling me to not do this.

The doctor slowly walks up to Gina and grabs her upper arm and shakes her. "I asked you a question. Is this true?" she looks down and then looks back up at me and I mouthed 'please' and she slowly nods her head. The doctor orders the others to take her back and he starts to walk towards me and I feel fear rise up my body.

The doctor takes my upper arm and starts pulling me with him and I turn my head and I see Gina looking out her window with tears streaming down her face. With three months in here, I've memorized the way to 'the room.' I've been there two times and all I can say is that it's the worse thing a patient can go through. The first time I was there was because I beat down one of the patients for knocking down my food from when I first arrived. The second one was not my fault. They give the patients medication for their craziness and I didn't want to take them because I knew I wasn't crazy and that will actually make me go crazy. They forced the pills down my throat and I started to hallucinate my parents and I started to scream and when the doctors came, I stated to hit them thinking it was my parents and they thought I was trying to hurt them.

Now, it was definitely not my fault but I couldn't let them take Gina away. When we finally got there, they unlocked the room and the doctor walked me to the bed and started to untie the belts for me to get in. When he's done he motions me to get on it and I just stand there, frozen and unable to move. "Get in or I'll put you there myself." The doctor says and I slowly walk up to it and laid down and he starts to tie me up. "You're going to be here until Mr. Khals says he wants to see you." He says. I look up the ceiling and I imagine the stars that are in my room and I smile. I close my eyes and slowly starts drifting away into a deep sleep until I'm completely gone.
