Anti Did It

(Y/n) POV

"Time to get up!" A male voice awoke me from my slumber.

Before I had a chance to fully open my eyes, I was jerked to my feet and pulled out of the room. I followed the man who was dragging me by the arm to a room that had a plank on the door that read, "Girls shower." He pushed me into the room, and I struggled against him. With a quick swipe, he pulled the hospital gown off of me before I had a chance to argue. I immediately moved my hands to cover my chest and moved my leg over my other to cover my genitalia.

"Go on, or I'll have to clean you myself." The orderly commanded, smirking as he gave me a once-over.

I felt my eyes go wide as he walked away, and left me alone with the other patients. I slowly turned to see the room filled with women of different ages. I walked to the nearest shower head, and as soon as I felt the water, I jumped away from it. The water was freezing.

I glanced towards the lady next to me to see that she was sitting Indian style on the floor, as the water poured down on her. She faced the wall, and she said nothing- completely ignoring the cold water. I looked at the lady on the other side of me. She stood underneath the shower head, unbothered that the water had washed her strawberry blonde hair in front of her face.

Looking back to the shower head in front of me, I held in my breath as I dunked my leg into the water, and then slowly, my entire body was underneath the water. I felt like tiny, sharp knives were being dropped down against my skin. The water oddly burned against my face, and goosebumps occupied the space on my arms and legs.

After a while, I eventually got used to the temperature and relaxed underneath the water. And for a second... just a single second... I had forgotten about all of my worries. But sadly, the façade didn't last. After all, it was only a second, and seconds are known to not last forever.

"Time to dry off!" The orderly called, turning off all of the showers.

I sat down on the empty couch in the middle of the room and gazed across the room. A few patients quietly played chess together, while the other's made sure to keep to themselves.

One patient, an older female, danced in an open space as "Bye Bye Love" by The Everly Brothers played. A male stood behind her as he held a cup of orange juice and watched her dance, his face held a painful expression. Another male sat across the room as he faced the wall, and the girl who sat next to me in the showers, the one with strawberry blonde hair, was rapidly drawing at a table close to me.

A brunette nurse walked around holding a tray, handing out what seemed to be pills and water to every patient. She stopped by me, and politely said, "Ma'am, it's time to take your pills."

She handed me three pills, and a tiny, plastic cup full of water.

"If I can ask, what are they for?" I questioned.

She smiled to reveal two dimples on her face, "They're to help you stay calm and relax.

"Oh, thank you." I returned her smile, and then looked down at the pills.

They were each a different color. One was a plain white, another red, and the third one was both. The nurse patted my shoulder as she left, and before I could throw the three pills into my mouth, I felt the couch shift as someone sat next to me. I turned to see the man who had the room next to mine.

"I wouldn't take those pills if I were you." His voice was emotionless.

"Why?"

"They'll make you loopy, spaced out. You see that man, Mr. Halpert just standing there facing the wall doing nothing? Or that woman, Miss Jess dancing? They were admitted in here for loving the same sex, not for being insane. Hell, Mr. Halpert was a scientist, and Miss Jess was a nurse before they came here. After they took the pill, they completely lost their sanity." He warned.

I looked towards the two as he added, "And plus, I'm pretty sure you shouldn't take those pills while being pregnant."

I snapped my head towards him as my jaw dropped. What did he just say?
