ignorance

my mind is racing rapidly, thinking about all the things i can't fathom. so many things happened yesterday and now, i sit on my thin mattress as i face the wall.

i don't want to look at the glass and see people outside—not calum, not luke, not even the few nurses and doctors that walk past my room. or cell. you name it.

the ignorance is clawing at my brain. i need to stop neglecting the fact that i'm in a mental hospital and i don't know how i've gotten myself in here.

i now have a friend who's been here longer than i have but seems to not show any insanity.

i know another boy who is like me but he's worse and i know deep down that i am afraid to turn into someone like him.

i know yet another boy whose family was taken away from him all at once and now he stares at the empty walls, laughing at nothing.

the weirdest thing is that he can see what luke sees, and he can see what i see. what is this boy?

the curiosity is killing me.

i need answers to all this madness. i need the solution to everything i want to know.

"but there is no solution, you dumbass." the girl appears right in front of me, back into her scary looks with the white but dirty hospital gown.

"go away!" i shout.

but she just laughs. and now i can hear ashton's chuckles even though he's nowhere to be seen. this girl is playing with my mind.

"you're stuck here forever, michael. and your three friends are going to watch you turn into the worst out of them all."
