Amelia's POV
All the days start to look the same here. I've got a name tag attached to my sweater. It's probably the strictest rule they have in this place.
Amelia Grant
Age: 17
Letter: D"Must wear name tag at all times."
I've got a new roommate, her name's Renee Willows. She's a nice girl. She's a few years younger than me though. The letter on her tag is B- I wish I knew what the letters meant.
Everyone is so friendly, they speak everytime they see me. I don't speak back though. I have no need for words anymore.
"Amelia, your vistor is here." The nurse smiles and walks me towards the white tables with the smiling boy sitting with sandwiches in front of him.
He comes to see me everyday.
"Hi Amelia, I got you lunch!" He pushes one sandwich towards me as I sit a cross from him.
"I know what you're thinking, why did I come during lunch today, well I have a lot to do after school today so I just came now." He shrugs.
"You should eat before your food gets cold, it won't taste the same if you wait." He playfully scolds.
I roll my eyes and take a bite to satisfy him.
"Good right?"
I just stare back and blink.
"That's okay I know it's great!"
"Y'know... people still talk about you,even though it's been like a month since you left. If they say something mean though I kick their asses." He mentions looking for some type of validation
I just nod.

As the days go by, Milo comes to the asylum and tells me about his day and brings different snacks for us to share.
Until one day, he spoke about something different.
Someone named Karina
It stood out to me not out jealousy but worry.
Would he put the girl through hell?
"She walked up to me at lunch and started talking to me. It was kind of strange but she seems nice. She's new."
///
"Karina helped me get an A- on my math test can you believe that!"
///
"I um I think that Karina girl likes me...y'know more than a friend."
///
"I asked Karina to prom... I'm only going with her because I can't go with you."
///
"Can you believe that, she tried to kiss me last night!"
///
As the days went on, the less he showed up.
At the beginning, he came everyday, when he met this karina person, he came every two days, often saying he was exhausted or forgot completely. After he told me she tried to kiss him, he comes once a week.
Why not just stop completely?
Today he came in with his head hung low.
"Karina hurt my feelings today. I told her about you... she didn't like it. S-she doesn't like you. I'll put a stop to it if you want?"
I shake my head no.
"Okay I'll be nice." He nods.
///
"So y'know we graduated today... I wish you could have been there. I was so nervous to walk across that stage."
///
"Amelia, Karina... she hurt me again, she said she didn't want to see me anymore. I know you're gonna hate this but... I have to do something about it. So you might not see me for a while. Just know I'm still thinking about you and I love you."
And just like that he was gone.
It's been months and I haven't seen him.
Good fucking riddance.
"Amelia your visitor is back."
What?
I turn around and see him with stubble and slightly longer hair.
"Hey, I've missed you so much!" He hugs me tightly.
Are you fucking kidding me?
I guess he won't ever really go away.
