Consumed

chapter 2

Stop dragging me! I scream. There's no one there, I just don't want to go back. The mysterious pull keeps ragging me like nothing can stop it. The dark gates loom over me as the Mysterious pull drags me through them. 

I wake up to bandaged arms and I.V.s sticking out of the tops of my hand. I'm guessing since I'm here that I failed. I did so much I thought for sure that I would be gone. I cut and cut Until I totally passed out, just not to live anymore.  

I look around and across the room, hung on the wall is a whiteboard. scrawled across the top of the board is my name. it looks so happy, perky. I know I hate it here. 

 I'm so mad that I scream at the top for my lungs.  The nurse bursts in and looks a little out of breath. What's wrong? does something hurt?  she says in a panicked state. I didn't die I sob as she walks over and checks my I.V.s Oh, well, life is great and full of amazing stuff. she says finishing with her tasks. I groan and roll over. You lost of blood, Axel, how are you feeling? she asks. Fine I guess I say. Your mother and her boyfriend just went down to the cafeteria to get lunch they will be right back. the nurse says as she walks out. Wait, plz tell them not to let the boyfriend in. please. I say as she looks back in to get what I said. Ok, I will relay the message. 

My mother didn't come in, until like 6 pm about 5 hours later after I woke up.  What happened? I asked. They said you went to the cafeteria. Did it take you 5 hours to get from the cafeteria and back here? I  ask her as she walks into the room.

 Oh, well, they said that you didn't want Gabe to be in here with me and so I waited until he had to go to work until I came in here. she says as she walks over and takes a seat across the room. I see that she doesn't take a seat close to me at all and it's probably one of the farthest seats away from me.

 So, I say you pretty much picked Gabe over me? right? why didn't you just let me die? I roll my eyes and look away from her. 

No, I didn't pick him over you.He's just very worried for you and needed someone with him at the time and it wasn't  five hours. it was more like 3 hours and we didn't know that you had woken up until an hour later they also said you went to sleep again so we waited. she says in a defending tone.

 The nurses saw that I didn't want to see them and they told my mom and BF that I was asleep. I like the nurses so much more now. " Ok, whatever," I say Still not looking at her. 

Ok, well, Gabe and I were thinking for right now that it would be best for you to be put into a mental hospital. she says. Not making eye contact. 

 WHAT?!? I say why on earth would you do that? I say in a panicked tone. 

 They already have a room set up for you there and when you leave tomorrow. 

What the hell why don't you care at all about how  I feel about this mental hospital thing. 

I'm sorry she says as she walks out without another word. 

A mental hospital I think what is that going to be like and maybe there is some way I can get out of it.
