Beautiful Scars on Critical Veins (kellic)

Chapter One

"We need you to get up and come with us." I looked up from my weird position on my bed, after my freak out I stopped talking and communicating with anyone at all. They even tried to text me but I just ignored it completely. I wasn't in the mood for talking and I doubt I would for a while.

"We won't ask you nicely again." I stayed there in my bed but pointed at my backpack before dropping my arm and just laying there. "We warned you." They said, one of them, the stronger looking one, grabbed my roughly and pulled me up by my arm while the other grabbed my backpack and followed us out to the black car.

Maybe it wasn't black, I couldn't tell because it was still dark out since it was 5:30. My family had called them and told them what happened so they came rushing over as soon as they could. They pushed me into a seat and the one holding my backpack sat next to me while the other sat shotgun. I wanted a shotgun, I wanted to shoot myself.

The car turned on its blue and red lights and sped out of my neighborhood. "I'm Justin that's Mike." Justin pointed to the guy riding shotgun, I didn't make a reply. "Why don't you tell me why you're coming with us to this institute, Kellin?" I knew he knew why, my parents had filled them in, they were just trying to get me to talk but that wouldn't work, "Do you know why you're going to Ocean Horizon Hospital?" That must be the name of the insane asylum I was going to. I didn't answer again.

"I see you've got cuts, my niece used to cut, she's better now. I'm sure you can get better too!" I pulled my sleeves down "Stop talking to him, Justin. His mom said he's done this before, completely shutting himself off from communication. I'm sure his therapist can help him though, we have a lot of good ones, I'm sure they'll get him through this." Mike was sure of a lot of near-impossible things.

I just stared out the window, giving no indication that I heard them or was paying attention. Eventually they started talking about the hospital and I listened intently, thirsting for knowledge of the place I'd be held captive to.

"Oli tried to commit suicide again. He's back and with Austin again." Austin must be one of the therapists there. I wonder slightly what he was like, "We got new security, except us, obviously." So they were security guards? Why did they bring me here, did I need protection or did other people need protection from me? It was probably so I wouldn't try to escape or if I had another episode.

"Is Gerard still adamant at not talking?" Justin asked, Mike nodded sadly, "He also lashed out at Frank." Hm, Gerard and I had the same idea then, not talking "Frank?" Repeated Justin in surprise, "The guy he spends all his time with and might actually talk to him? What happened?" Mike just shrugged, "Alex thinks it was hallucinations. But just to be safe he's in 24 obs and in crisis stabilization unit. Frank isn't that happy about it and brought it up with Alex and got pissed at him and punched him in the gut. Now they're both in that unit but they aren't allowed to see each other except at meal times and with a one-on-one." What the hell is a 1:1 and who's this Alex?

"Alan and Austin have been going on year two, huh?" Justkn mused, wasn't Austin a therapist? Was Alan one too? "Yeah, he's been making a bit of progress but it's still slow. At least Austin is helping him unlike Spencer. Spencer can get violent when people don't get better after a long time and Alan wasn't responding well to that. Though I can't understand Spencer's anger, it must be frustrating to not be able to help your patient." So Alan must be patient and had been in River Horizon for almost two years.

"Who is Kellin seeing?" Mike asked, "I think Vic or Alex." Justin informed Mike and, unknowingly, me. So the the therapist were Austin, Alex, and Vic and I might be seeing either of the last two.

"How's Jack?" Mike shrugged, "He's fine. He's might be going home tomorrow so that's exciting. Alex and him can be together if that happens." Mike turned around and winked at Justin who laughed.

So were these two the guys who gossiped about everyone and everything just because they could? They didn't really seem like that type of people but who knows? Who am I to judge? I'm being taken against my will to an asylum.

The drive wasn't too long or too short, it was just enough for me to gather information. This hospital must be some sort of top notch place if it had this much security and at least three therapists. It also must hold lots of crazy people going by what I'd heard.

We got to the hospital and walked out of the car without a word. I took my backpack from Justin and carried it in myself, Mike in front and Justin behind me. If I decided I wanted to run I'd be caught before I even started.

We entered the building which was just a plain brick building with vines snaking their way up the walls. A nurse came immediately and took my bag from me and ushered me to a room with no windows and a metal door.

This would be an interesting experience.

This chapter wasn't the best but the next one will be longer and will be explaining the Ocean Horizon and other patients that reside here.
