Nurses These Days

I go into the line, where many people are and wait. Jessica is standing next to me, just like all the other nurses do with their patients. Every one has one special patient that they look after and stay with the whole day.

I was lucky to get Jessica. Most of the nurses are cruel. They don't care what's wrong with you. Most people try to treat mentally disturbed people as if they were normal people, but these nurses treat us like we're trash. They shove you if you don't walk fast enough, and if you don't do what they tell you, they will yell, hit, or kick you.

But then there's Jessica. She and I have sleep overs almost twice a week. She also comes over to help me with homework when I need it, and is there for me when I miss my family and friends.

I never miss them anymore. Sure I miss my little sister Sarah more than anything, she never did anything wrong to me. In fact, I miss her like crazy. Two weeks ago I started only missing Sarah. Everyone else in my family have caused anger in me. Same for my friends. I don't want to see them. I don't want to hear them. I don't want to speak to them.

I grab a blueberry muffin, a little cup of chopped up strawberries, and an orange juice. Jessica grabs the same as me, and gets us two forks, and two straws. We sit down at an empty table and talk about today's schedule and she reminds me how I have a French test tomorrow. Then we talk about her sleeping over in my room to help me study.
