Institutionally Romeo and Juliet

Chapter 2

Alana's P.O.V.

"Now, Miss Davidson we do not use that type of language here", the nurse before me calmly states. 

A little chuckle escapes my lips because she obviously has no idea what she's in for. I can fucking say whatever the fuck I would like to, thank you very much. 

"Your parents are going to need to fill out some papers, but we are going to go on a little tour of the building and have a little talk. This is the time to say goodbye as you will not come back to here", the nurse says politely. 

"Okay, and no need", I say as I walk up beside her not looking at my mother or father.  

She turns and goes to big glass doors that I notice need a keycard to open them. As the doors click as they get unlocked, but the nurse still pushes them open. Beyond the doors is three hallways one going to the right, one going to the left, and one going straight into a huge light room. 

"What is in front of you is the Hall of Evelyn. Dr. Evelyn is going to be your therapist for your time here. Your therapy appointment is at 10 am sharp and group therapy is at 7pm, don't be late. Going to your therapy sessions and group therapy is going to be your ticket out of here when it is time." The nurse says as the metal doors close behind us. 

We turn to go down the hall to our right and when we near the end of the hallway it directs us left to yet another big hallway. This hallway is so gloomy and neutral just like the rest of the building. and as we walk you can hear our feet hit the ceramic tiled floor. 

"We are going to go to the Hall of Evelyn to go to a nursing unit that is located in there, but I wanted to show you all around the building." She says as we walk.

It's not much to show honestly, I don't know why she needs to show me all of the building. 

Well, in the middle of this hallway there's a smaller hallway that leads to the Hall of Evelyn. You know what, I'm just going to call it HOE for short because the name seems like it needs to be named on a one syllable basis. As we walk into the HOE, there are some people it in. Some look totally normal like they could walk out tomorrow while others look like they have completely lost it. 

I notice a normal looking guy in the corner glaring at me. He is most definitely hot, but there's something about him that I can tell is messed up. I can see his dull blue eyes from here just looking into my soul. He has military cut light brown hair but it's a little longer like he was in the military and no longer is in it. His muscles make his shirt slightly tight, which, of course, makes him look even hotter. 

"Miss Davidson," the nurse finally catches my attention away from this guy who is still staring at me, "we are going to go into the nursing station where you will give me all your belongings. You will earn them back as you progress through therapy, but you can also just as easily get them taken away."

Wait what? That snaps me back into reality of and that's when I notice that most of the people in the room are all wearing gray scrub shirts and pants with these slip-on shoes that don't have laces. If only Amy were here to see me finally go a day without wearing my vans that are almost like a comfort blanket to me. I guess this is going to have to happen to get my parents off my back and to finally get home again.

After they make me change into the uniform the nurse that showed me around decided to show me to my room. 

"You do have a roommate and her name is Madelyn. She has severe OCD and ADHD. Of course, OCD is a form of anxiety, so she can be high strung in certain situations. If you have any problems, you can go to the nurse's station and we will do what we can", she states upon our arrival to my new room.
