Psycho

Chapter 2

I woke up to screams. It was the guy next to my cell. The guards ran to him and dragged him out. The scream suddenly fades away slowly, but it still remains in my head. I hear the exact same scream in my dream. It was a scream of fear. I could tell by the way he screams and the way he reacts when the guards grab him.

I kept my eyes closed. I tried my best to go back to sleep, but i couldn't stop moving.

"Can you stop moving so much?" I heard someone say. It sounds like a guy. He had a raspy voice and he sounded close, too close. My eyes shot open. I was scared to look on the top bunk. But at the same time i was curious. The stranger peeked his head out. And got off the top bunk and came toward me. He sat on my bed and i sat up.

I could see him perfectly. He had emerald green eyes. Curly hair, and he was tall. Then i remembered that, thats exactly who the guard described. "Can't sleep?" He asked me as he stared at the ground. "n-no. Who are you?" I couldn't think straight. He was handsome and he was a complete stranger. I didn't know wether to trust him or to be afraid. He smiles. His smile reveals his dimples. "I cant sleep either. Its all the screaming. How can you live like this?" He asked, completely avoiding my question.

"I don't know. I just deal with it. Now, who are you?" I said getting angry. He chuckles. "Woah, don't get mad. I'm Harry, your new roommate. Who are you?"

"I'm Ariana" i say, calmed. He looks nervous and he looks at me in the eyes. I am scared now.

"Can i sleep with you?" He asked. I swallowed the lump in my throat. He gives me a serious look and i could see fear in his eyes. "Are you seriously that scared?" I asked and he nodded. "Fine" i give in. I understand completely. I was scared the first night too.

Harry lies down next to me. We both share a pillow. This mattress wasn't made for two, so he was really close to me. I can feel him shaking the bed. He turns around to face me. I smile at him. He smiles back, and closes his eyes. "Thank you" he whispers. "Anytime" i say as i smile.

I am still awake. I am watching Harry sleep because i don't want him to feel scared. I need to make sure that he is asleep peacefully. Our faces are inches away. I am actually really calm. This is the first night where i feel at peace. I close my eyes. Suddenly, screams come from the doors. Harry wakes up and holds me tight. I hold him too. I need to comfort him. The only reason i need to comfort him is because I have been through this too. The screams are getting louder and Harry holds on tighter. I felt my shirt getting wet. He is crying. "It's okay Harry. I'm right here" i say. Poor Harry. He is terrified. I don't blame him though. This place is old and scary. Filled with screams. I have had nightmares before i was here, but the thing was that, my nightmares came true here. I brush Harry's hair out of his face with my hand. He sniffles. And i hug him. He stops shaking and he starts to calm down. I didn't expect him to start crying. Maybe he was never like me. I was always alone, with no family, because they abandoned me. Maybe Harry has a family and he made a terrible mistake and ended up here. Maybe he has never been alone before....I would like to feel like he does, when he isn't alone. I wanna be cared about, i wanna be loved, and i don't ever wanna be left alone.
