The Chained Princess (h.s.)

Star XIX

-Harry-

I had no idea what to do. Andromeda was unconscious, yet again, and there was some girl at her door. I heard a door upstairs open, and Andromeda's whore cousin came bounding down the staircase.

The girl at the front door looked up and ran away suddenly.

"What happened?!" Claire yelled.

This was really not the time for yelling, I wish she would quit that. Why am I always at the wrong place at the wrong time?

I sighed and tried my best to answer this freak's question. I can't believe I ever slept with her.

"She just fainted and started shaking, I really don't fucking know," I responded, kneeling down to her side. Her eyes fluttered open then, and she coughed. I breathed a sigh of relief. Thank God.

"What...?" she looked around, trying to sit up. I gently pushed her back down.

"You need to stay there," I commanded.

Claire looked like she just had the life knocked out of her.

"Little cousin...are you feeling okay?" she whispered.

Andromeda said nothing.

"I'm taking you to the hospital," she announced.

Andromeda's face went whiter than ever, if possible.

"No! Please don't take me there!" she exclaimed.

I can't let this girl take Andromeda to the hospital, I need to look after her.

"Don't take her there, she's fine," I said to Claire, who's eyes narrowed.

"Like I'm really gonna trust some sex addict who shouldn't be here?" she spat.

"You should trust me, she's not going anywhere. She's mine," I shot back. Claire stood up then, defensive.

"Get out of here, creep, and don't come back or I will call the police!"

Shit, the fucking police.

I had no choice. I was alone in this situation.

With one last fleeting look at the chained princess, I ran out of there, not knowing when I would see her again.

-Andromeda-

*2 weeks later*

"They told me I had a seizure and then I fainted. Honestly, I don't really remember that day. I was in a really messed up place, it was terrible. But you'll like it here, promise." I smiled warmly and the new boy just looked around nervously, shifting uncomfortably in his white seat.

His name was Zayn, he was seventeen and lived in the town next to me. He had dark hair and dark eyes. He just arrived last night, after lights out, and I'm always in charge of welcoming the new adolescents to 5E, the others just don't want to.

That's what they call our ward at this hospital. The adolescent mental health ward.

"Paula was nice, she was really nice. Is she coming back?" He said in a small voice, looking at his wristband.

I shook my head.

"She doesn't work today. Behind my head is the board, where you see the adolescents and our doctors. But the nicest RN is here today, you'll adore her."

It was nine am, almost time for breakfast. It's so crazy that I'm leaving today, but my doctor said I was ready.

"You've made extensive progress; your mother will be very pleased. I know I am so proud of you."
