"Where's Lauren??" I ask when a red haired guy walks through the door. The figure stands still to answer me. It's Gerard, another one of my 'friends'.
"She's waiting outside. You can't have visitors yet." My dad tells me. "Why? Who says I can't have visitors?!" I almost shout. I need Lauren. "I want to see her." I demand with a calmer tone. "It's indeed better if you see her." Gee replies. I nod in respons- shit that wasn't smart. "Ann" my dad sights "the doctor said that it's better if you don't have visitors 'till tomorrow." "WTF it's obvious that you need her." Gee tells me. A good thing about having Gerard is, is that he's always on my side. He always exactly knows what I need and he understands me."ANN!! ANN!!" I hear my name being shouted. It's shouted so loud that it hearts my ears. "AN!" It sounds like some wild animal is approaching me, but I know it's Lauren. She's crazy enough to do shit like this. Carefully turn my head to see her storming through my door. "Relax" I whisper, while a smile forms on my face.
She slows down her pace, but still approaches my bed excitedly. Before she reaches me, she being held back by an arm. It's dad. "Slow down" He tells her in a stern whisper while staring into Laurens' eyes. When Lauren gets released she gives me a hug. I needed this. I really needed this. I'm often too awkward to randomly ask friends for hugs, but I really need them. People often don't notice it when I need them. Hugs are important. They can stitch wounds without having to open them up first, unlike talking. Talking hurts and is hard.
"Hi. You're finally here" I whisper in a soft tone. "They wouldn't let me in. I'm sorry you had to wait so long." She replies. "Don't b-" Some guards hurry in and Lauren abruptly gets taken away from me. "LAUREN" I scream and try to reach out for her. "I don't want her to leave yet" I say distressed and and I sharply look at my doctor who's entered the room in the meantime. Explodes in my head because of all the sound and movements. "You need to rest, Ann. You should get some sleep" The doctor looks kinda creepy. It looks like he is in his mid-40s and wears his glasses at the tip of his nose. I wonder how they haven't fallen off yet and his nails look so sharp that he would be able to stab you with them. Ew. Creep.*Sights* "Okay..." The doctor nods towards my dad as a sign that he should leave, closes the curtains and walks away. Fuck him with his you should get some sleep. No way I'm gonna sleep. I'm not tired. And who the fuck does he think he is? He can't just separate me from my friends and decide what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna read or maybe I'm gonna talk with some of my 'friends'. I have many 'friends', like: Gerard, Taylor, Billie-Joe, Mikey, Frank, etc. I sometimes question my sanity, but this is normal as far as I know. I mean I already know them for years.
The room I'm in is quite empty. The only thing that catches my attention is the newspaper next to me.
'Second car crash with stolen van'
Blah, blah, blah. Another typical headline.
This is boring. I'm gonna text Lauren.
Me [19:30]: "whatsup?"
Me [19:50]: "Yo"Why isn't she replying?
Me [20:15]: "Hey. What are you doing?"
Me [20:20]: "I need you"Urgh. Gerard comes to sit on my bed. "Maybe you should actually get some sleep like the doctor told you." "Maybe"
A/N: Thanks for reading! It really means a lot to me. I'm sorry that this chapter is short, but I didn't want to let you wait any longer.
