Fix You [Vic Fuentes]

Chapter 6

Song of the Chapter: Hospital For Souls by Bring Me The Horizon

Chapter title: Can't You See I Don't Like You?

Vic's POV

I never wanted to be here in the first place. And by here I meant this stupid dining hall with all the other patients, everyone is either talking or eating, while I just sit here in the corner of the room watching everyone socialise. I'd prefer to be in my room shredding my skin or drawing. It's quite sad how I'd rather be in my bedroom than out here, but it's the truth and I can't help but feel that way.
I don't even know why everyone had to get her in here in the first place, I think it might have been some sort of social thing where we get to know other patients and therapists, which I had no interest in but the people who own this joint wanted everyone out of their rooms and down here and the woman who ushered us out was quite pushy and rude so I did what she wanted.

I knew no one here, and I didn't plan on knowing any of them anyway. They didn't even seem like they belonged here, they were too happy. Maybe they got better? I couldn't imagine things like that for me, I can't even remember what it feels like to smile.
I looked around, meeting so many happy faces, which just made me feel worse. No one seemed to look a certain age, meaning they all looked older or younger than each other.
A fairly young, fake red head was sat in the other corner opposite me with a group around her, talking away at nothing I could pinpoint. She looked around fifteen-ish, she had the same hospital wrist band as I did but she looked nothing like a person who you'd think had depression. She laughed along with the jokes that someone told her, and did everything like a normal person would, except the fact that when I looked into her dark green eyes, they looked dull and emotionless, like she was about to break any moment.
I am quite good at observing people and how they react, so I notice things quite easily. They question I am asking myself is how did she manage to hide her pain so well? I used to be able to but then I couldn't handle it anymore and I just couldn't put the effort into hiding what I was feeling, although I still kept it bottled up inside.

A fake smile can hide a lot

I felt a small tap on my shoulder and I turned to see that Kayleigh was standing behind me, looking lost and uncomfortable, "Could I sit with you?" She asked politely despite the fact I don't even talk to her. I slowly nodded my head, only just enough to show that its alright for her to take a seat. Even if I don't want her to sit next to me, I don't want to be that cruel.
I played with the hem of my right hand sleeve and focused on anything but the brunette next to me, tension running high in the air, of course she has to say something. To be honest I'd rather the awkward silence.

"What is the purpose for this 'get-together thing anyway," she asked, I am guessing at me. I shrugged my shoulders ever so slightly, bored out of my mind wanting to just get out of this room, "wanna go back to your room?"

But I thought we had to be down here with everyone else

"I know what you're thinking, but I can manage to sneak you back upstairs since you look like you want to leave that badly," she said just above a whisper so no one else could hear her speaking. I nodded again, in acceptance of her offer and followed her as she stood up, looking around to see if anyone was watching. No one seemed to take any notice of us leaving, which my invisibility came to some sort of use in this situation. We creeped up the stair case, and bolted for it as soon as we reached halfway and somehow no attention was drawn to either of us as we made our escape from the hell that was that 'party'.
After we made it a couple of corridors near my room, we slowed down to a slow walk as we approached my door.

"I feel so rebellious now," Kayleigh joked, just as my door came into view. I have never been so happy to see a door in my life, which I rushed to as fast as I could without passing out. I hadn't the slightest idea how long it had been side I had eaten, but I knew it had been a long time.

I opened my door as fast as I could, almost forgetting Kayleigh was right behind me.

"Well I guess I should be going, see you tomorrow, Vic." She turned around, and walked down the hallway, and might I say I am quite thankful she is leaving so I can be ruin item with a friend of mine.

My razor.
