Help me

Part 2

Pete, one of the nurses come running into my room, as I sit in the corner histerrically hyperventilating. I can't seem to get any bit of breath out. They keep getting nearer and nearer. Why can't Pete see them?

"It's ok, it's ok, everything fine, nothing will hurt you in here" he says trying to calm me down But, these things keep coming out of the walls. Running at me and then just melting and the noise, the noise is terrible. I can't stand it. How is he not seeing these?

I get up and run out as fast as I can, breathing a bit better, the running isn't helping me though. The only good thing about this place is if a patient isn't a danger to themselves or others they are allowed to roam free around, only certain places obviously.

I keep running, I'm still hearing the scratching of the creatures behind me. I turn left and reach a dead end corridor, the door in front of me is shut and I have no way of running from the creatures. I crawl up in a ball in the corner and bury my head in my arms and knees. The noise gets quieter and quieter and soon is gone. I don't move from the corner though.

I can hear Pete running after me. "Sydney!" He was shouting. "Syd!" He ran past the dead end corner I had stupidly ran into. And I heard him stop and back up slowly.

He comes up to me "are you ok now?" He says with sympathy in his voice but I can't read him too well on what he thinks of me at this point. But Pete is one of the few nice nurses in this place.

"Yeah, I'm fine. I just felt a bit... I had a head ache ok? It's gone now though, my... my medication has kicked in" I say getting up.  He tries to give me a hand but I pull my arm away from him.

"I'm fine now. I'm just going to go to the cafeteria to get a drink" I said emotionless. "Ok" he said but continued to follow me " I'm going to walk with you to make sure you don't pass out or something." He said as he stayed close to my side. I just nodded.

Once we got to the cafeteria I see the same empty table, in the corner, where I like it. It's the same food most days. Mash or rice and chips or beans. I usually just eat rice but Pete made me have mash and beans to make me feel better.

Suddenly the door opened and someone was escorted in. She must be new as the nurse had to explain what everything was to her. I could tell because she was pointing to everything.

She seems normal, but doesn't most of the people in here. Even the really crazy ones, until you start talking to them.

She's dressed in  a black tracksuit  with a white stripe on both arms and legs running down the sides of her body, showing some curve, she much have a good figure I can even see it through the baggy track suit, and white trainers.

We all have a choice of 2 outfits. Either the black tracksuit or blue over all's. Something I never wear. Mostly the guys see a the blue overalls. I don't know why, must be what they like.

I was as the new girl walks over to the food counter, she chooses rice and beans, but had the beans separate. They same way I would have them.

She looks around for a seat, before her gaze got to me I looked down at my tray of food. She must have seen me looking because she starts to walk towards me. Damn I think to myself. I don't really like human interaction much, specially with spending most of my life here.

I came here when I was 11, I'm 18 now and I don't really understand why I'm here. Yes I know I have mild schizophrenia, but not bad enough to be in here. I can't remember what I was like when I was younger though. Maybe I had done something that caused me to end up in here.

When the dark haired, hazel eyed, girl go to my table "can I sit here?" She asked, I nodded and she sat down.

"You know you really should be careful around here" I say emotionless. "Some people just lash out" I say taking another chunk of my mash and mixing it with the beans.

"Oh... ok... your not going to do that are you?" She asked, timidly. " no I'm not like that" I said before picking up my plastic, transparent cup of water.

"My name's launa what's yours?" She asked in a friendly tone. "I'm sydney" I say emotionless again.

I finished my food and before I stood up asked "do you want me to wait or do you mind if I go back to my room, only I'm not feeling too well" I say trying to be a bit more friendly than I could have been before.

"What ever I don't care anyway" launa snapped at me, in a sharp tone.

"Oh.. if you want me to stay I don't mind" I say backing up from her, I'm not in the right frame of mind for an argument or fight today.

"Fine go, I don't like you anyway" she said. "Ok" I said emotionlessly and walking away from her without any sign of care for what she just said to me. I just leave the cafeteria and go back to my room.

Once I get into my white room, I lie on my bed thinking about what it would be like to actually have someone to talk to about what goes on in my head. But I know that would never happen. I don't trust anybody and I don't think that's going to change any time soon.
