leave

          i can't eat anymore, not after hearing the creepy nurse's words. why can't she leave me alone for one goddamn day?

          calum's stare burn into the side of my face and i look at him whilst pushing my tray aside.

          "you saw her again, didn't you?" he asks, "is she with luke or something?"

          i gulp and nod, "she's in the shape of a nurse right now because she just won't leave me."

          just as those words escape my mouth, a din and violent scream shakes the whole room. i turn around in shock, finding luke thrashing around trying to get out of the nurses' grasps.

          "god, his tantrum is back." calum absentmindedly speaks as if this situation happens every time.

          my eyebrows pull into a frown as i watch the scene that's unravelling before me. the blond boy eating alone earlier is now being held back by several nurses as a doctor is on his way here.

          "stop! go away!" he shouts, and i imagine myself in his shoes because apparently, i suffer the same thing.

          i focus at what or where luke is staring in case i can see it, too. but i become more confuse when another unknown boy is walking through the door.

          "no! don't come near me!" luke's voice is hoarse from all his screams. "stop!"

          the boy that walks in has sandy blond hair—almost brunette—and it curls on his head, bouncing as he skips in with girly giggles escaping his lips.

          "oh god," calum speaks, genuinely looking terrified.

          my eyes widen at him, "what, what is it?"

          "it's ashton."
