tangled in the great escape. (pierce the veil)

chapter 22

iris pov

I woke up a couple of days ago and I still haven't said a word to anyone. even if I could talk I wouldn't, I couldn't find my voice and no one would understand anyways.

it was late at night and dad fell asleep on the couch while I was still wide awake thinking about how much I screwed up. lets see

the person I though was my friend wasn't, they just used me to get a laugh out of of it and tear me down, I attempted suicide, failed, ended up in a hospital, I hurt everyone, the closest and only people I had. I didn't even realize I was crying until I felt tears running down my cheek.

aww look your crying, just shows how weak you really are

'no stop just go away I don't need this right now'

why would i leave when i could make you miserable?

then there was something at the end of my bed. it was the voice in my head. she was everything I ever dreamed of being, buy she wasn't just normal, she was on fire

"w-who what are you?"

your worst nightmare

then she grabbed my neck and started choking me and I went up in flames

"HELP SOMEONE HELP ME PLEASE!" I started flailing my arms around to get her to let me go. then people pinned me down to the bed. I opened my eyes and it was a nurse but he fire girl was gone. then I felt a prick in my arm and it was like I was paralyzed. they pushed dad out of the room. they were shining a light in my eyes and doing other stuff trying to figure out what happened. the nurses unstrappedme after a while and left then dad and a doctor came in.

"iris can you tell me what happened?"

"the-the voice Inmy head. she tried choking me" I said weak. what kind of drugs have they put me on now?

"the voice in your head? has anything like this ever happened before?" I couldn't talk anymore, I didn't know what was happening anymore.

"after her mom died, stuff like this would happen a lot" dad said

"how long did this last?"

"1 or 2 years maybe"

"what happened after that?"

"she became very distant and quiet, like most people do when they loose someone close, but this went on forever, I don't even think she ever fully recovered. she wasn't herself and I also recently found out she's been bullied a lot at school" the doctor wrote some stuff down on his clipboard and looked up.

"iris do you know what schizophrenia is?"
