Misunderstood ✅

001

I was woken up from my sleep by a sudden stop I opened my eyes slightly and turned to Aunt Beth who looked anxiously back at me , it is as if she was waiting for what I was about to say

"Where are we ?" My voice wash harsh and my eye's were getting sore from the sudden burst of light

"A place where they going to try and help you"She looked away from me her voice was soft which was usual as nowadays she was always shouting

"Okay" was all I managed to say I had no energy to fight her I was already here but one thing I know for sure is that I'm not staying here for long I will be out and soon

"Miss Knight" A voice said placing a hand on my shoulder and I was back to reality ."I'm Doctor Rose I'll be your doctor while your staying here" She smiled showing her perfectly straight teeth and taking my bag from my grip and the other bags that were laying on the ground

She held out her hand "Come let me take you to your room" I hesitated a bit but then put my hand on the side of the door and pulled myself out of the care slightly, she frowned a bit but then smiled again she guided me towards the entrance I walked for a little then I stoped in my tracks and turned around . My Aunt was leaning against the car fighting back tears she forced a smile and I looked down and continued following Dr.Rose into the main building , never have I seen Aunt Beth like that well only when she breaks a nail or when she watches a romantic movie or something , maybe she will miss me but maybe she won't I'm trouble and who would miss trouble ?

We walked out of the main building and into green fields with sprinkles all around , there was garden's at each corner and tall trees within each 2 meters and loads of colorful buildings all around .I stood in front of the huge sign that spelt 'Sunshine Peaks Institution' and just starred."I don't need anyone's help" I said turning around to Dr.Rose she shrugged her shoulders and smiled walking upstairs to an orange building, at last we reached our destination she opened the door and steped in revealing two separate beds with a small wall with between them , the sheets and curtains were white and the walls were orange , an interesting contrast of color but it was whatever

"Okay well" she said putting my luggage on the right side bedroom because the other bed was messed up a clear sign that I had a roommate, "You have a roommate her name is Madison I'm really sorry about the mess but overall she's a great kid you two will definitely get along" She said trying to clean up the mess made by my so called roommate Madison who I have to say is the messiest person I've encountered with, "Yeah of course" I sarcastically said leaning against the wall , Dr.Roses face flashed with curiosity as she looked down but quickly regained her charm as she looked up "So I'm going to let you get settled and I'll see you around with hopefully your new friends" She waved goodbye and shut the door leaving me alone in a foreign room , but what did she mean with my friends did she forget that I'm new here and she's just rubbing it in my face or is she giving me an order to go and make friends ? , either way I didn't come her to make friends

I walked into the bathroom and closed the door, facing myself in the mirror I had bags under my eyes from lack of sleep , the stitches above my eyebrow had redness around them including the scratch on my chin .I opened the tap and splashed cold water on my face I took a towl from the shelf and wiped my face dry carefully , looking back into the mirror then folding the towl and putting it back on the shelf , although physicaly I looked somewhat refreshed mentally I was drained and weak I sat on the toilet seat and reality kicked in I was in an unknown place with unknown people all around me thousands and thousands of miles away from a place I call home , although I was feeling homesick I hope I don't go home soon , I'm tired of remarks and looks I would get each time I turned the corner , school was bad horrible I had no one everyone turned a cold shoulder towards me including those I would take a bullet for but I'm thankful I'm done school but it wasn't what I hoped it would be

I walked out into the room to find my roommate staring at herself in the mirror she was tall her hair falling into her eyes and her shoulders were droopy , her eyes had bags and round rings similar to mine her face seemed tired like all the life was sucked out of her but I didn't blame her I know how it feels I've been there before heck I'm still there , although I don't know and haven't spoken to her something about her reminders of pain , sadness , torture and heartbreak maybe she didn't remind me of anything maybe she reminded me of myself.

"Take a picture it will last longer" She said rolling her eyes and pulling me out of my deep trance

"Don't flatter yourself sweetheart you're not my type" I boldly said to her ,she turned around to face me with a smirk "Madison but they call me Maddie" She said putting her arm out for me to shake , I glanced down at her hand and folded my arms I looked back at her "Nevaeh but they call me Nevaeh". She chuckled "Exotic" She said shoving her hands in pockets and walked out the door turning around to face me she tilted her head to the side

She sighed slapping her hands on the side of her thighs "Well we aren't getting younger so let's go to dinner" I followed her out the door not because we we're friends or anything but because I didn't want to stay in that room . Outside was colder than expected it was surprisingly dark and the wind was spine shivering , I looked over to Maddison who seemed to be deep in thought I guess I'm not the only one who does that I sighed

"Why are you here ?" She bravely asked, gazing over to me hoping that I don't take offense to the bold question she just asked

"Why" I questioned

She glanced at me then back in front of her ,"It's interesting to know other people's stories"

"I don't have a story and I'll never have one"I simply said hoping that this conversation won't get anymore awkward. The walk felt long mainly because it was quiet, the only noise was the occasional chrips of birds and the sound out feet made on the hard pathway . We entered a large building which was no starting to get filled up with people, I was not used to being in a room with so much people anymore, after the incident all I wanted to do was be alone I couldn't stand any one so I shut everyone out and built a tall barrier around me so nobody could even try and get in and its worked for me.We walked through two double doors and into a room I presumed was the cafeteria"If this place doesn't kill you then the food here will definitely do the trick" she said sarcastically well I hope she meant it sarcastically . I looked around the room studying the people in front of me. She pulled me towards a table that had five people sitting on it and at this moment I hoped the ground would open up and swallow me whole. I wish I stayed in that bathroom.

After the incident I wasn't as social as I was I distanced myself from a lot of people just so that they wouldn't judge me even more than I was getting judged to be honest Im ready to make friends just yet I can't even if I try they'll probably back away because of my personality or because of the walls around me that I'm constantly building so people have no entry
