I woke up in a cold sweat. When you are in a bright room, not knowing where the hell you are, you start freaking out too. "Alex oh thank god you are okay!" Ansley hugs me
"What happened?"
"We don't know. You freaked out and said that Carson, Max and Josh were there watching us and you started shaking and rocking back and fourth and pulling at your hair and we didn't know what to do until you blacked out. So we called an ambulance and here you are" she replies sheepishly
"Where's Jake?"
"He's getting some coffee. It's 2AM you know?" She chuckles but I don't find it funny.
"Why have I been out so long?" I start to panic
"Don't panic Alex, the doctors gave you some tranquilizers to help you sleep. It's okay" She grabs my hand calmly and I nod.
"I'm sorry you had to witness that. I honestly think I am going nuts. My panic disorder is going into over drive"
"What panic disorder?"
"My dads death was the trigger. Every place I went with him that I went to after he died, I had a panic attack in. That day in school that I freaked out, that was a panic attack" a tear falls down her face
"Alex... I'm sorry for calling you all those horrible things and saying those awful things back at the island. I was just being a bitch and being on that island with that lunatic, and barely surviving, it all changed me. I don't want to be who I was. I was a horrible person and I'm never going to be able to take that back" I take her hands and smile
"It's okay. I forgive you, we're in this together right?" She smiles and nods.
"What did I just walk in on?" Jake teases while giving Ansley a cup coffee. He gives me a hug and says "I'm so glad you're okay" I can tell that there's something they aren't telling me.
"What's wrong?" They look at each other and have a mental conversation. They both nod at each other and turn back to me. "Ever since you released Ryder's name to the press, everyone has been freaking out. The press are outside the hospital now and..." Jake trails off
"And what?" They both look at each other but say nothing. "Will someone tell me what's going on?"
"The doctors are moving you to the hospital" Ansley says nervously causing me to quirk an eyebrow. "I thought I was in the hospital?"
"No Alex. The hospital-"
"You mean the nuthouse?! How can you let this happen?" I snap as a tear falls down Ansley's face. "Alex I'm sorry-"
"You're not sorry. You just said all those things to me because I was being sent away! How long am I gonna be in that place for?" I snap angrily
"Until school starts-"
"What?! Why did you let this happen!" Basically a mix of emotions are running through me.
"The doctors thought-"
"I don't give two fucks about what the doctors want! It's what I want that matters! It's my emotions!"
"Alex... We thought it would be best too..." Ansley trails off causing another mix of emotions to spiral through my body.
"Why because I'm seeing things? Who knows maybe I'm a psychic like Carson and my powers are kicking in." They start looking at me like I'm crazy.
"Oh I get it. You guys think I'm crazy. Well then the both of you could GO TO HELL! Get out!" I scream angrily. These are my friends, they were on the island with me, they understand the hell that we all went through. But no, of course I am the crazy one, it's freshman year all over again!
"Alex-"
"I SAID GET THE HELL OUT!" I shout causing them to jump. Once they are out I just start screaming in anger.
