The Ambrose Asylum

Chapter Ten

***AJ's POV***

"April" a voice called.

"April" it said again.

"AJ honey wake up" it said, as I slowly opened my eyes to be met with a blinding light.

I opened my eyes trying to let them adjust to the light.

"It's time to get ready for school" my mommy told me heading out the door.

I got up and looked around my room, before getting dressed soon after.

My pink walls, my pink bed, my pink everything really.

I went downstairs and saw my mom cooking breakfast, my dad reading the newspaper, my older brother and sister were eating breakfast and watching tv like any other normal day.

However, today felt different...like something horrible was about to happen.

I sat down and ate my breakfast, which included eggs, bacon, grits, biscuits, and blueberry waffles my favorite.

"Kids go get your bags and head to the car" mommy told us.

We did as she asked and was out the door, I stopped and looked at the scenery.

Normally everything nice and sunshine, even in the winter but today was cold, dark, and empty like nature knew what was going to happen.

"April come on, were going to be late" mommy said.

"Coming mommy" I said to her.

I got in the car and mommy buckled me in and everything and we were off to start my first day of 1st grade and I was happy and scared at the same time.

If only my innocent and sweet 6 year old self knew, this was the first day to the horrible and disturbing events to come into my life.

(End of Dream/ Flashback)

"All clear" a voice said getting further away.

"Oh man" I said lowly to myself, feeling the crook that formed in my neck as I slept.

I was extremely tired, I was hungry, irritated, and now in pain...could this day get any worse I thought as I stood up to stretch my muscles, and heard a few bones pop.

"Your the only person I know to hide out in the library" a voice said to me.

"Weren't you in isolation or whatever" I asked, as I finished stretching and turned to look at him.

"Why, did you miss me" he asked and some how I knew he was smirking.

"No, so leave me alone" I told him walking away and trying to find a way out.

"Awe, whats wrong with my girl" he asked, as he draped and arm around my shoulders.

"I'm NOT your girl" I stated, emphasizing the 'not'.

"Yes you are, and you can't get out they locked the doors you know" he said as if I didn't already know that.

"Thank you captain obvious" I said shrugging his arm off me.

"Why are you being so cold and distant" he asked sounding kinda sad.

"Why are you being so warm and emotional" I asked harshly.

"AJ I didn't mean to snap at you earlier, and I'm sorry ok" he said whispering the 'I'm sorry' part, like he was afraid someone would hear.

"I don't care if your sorry or not, just leave me alone" I told him going back to my original spot and sitting down.
