Psychiatric Unit: A Luke Hemmings Fanfiction

Psychiatric Unit - Luke Hemmings

Autumn

I dragged myself towards the dinning hall at half 9 in the morning, I'm actually more of a morning person than everyone thinks, everyday i get up at half 7, jump in the shower, and get myself ready for another day of god knows what. Obviously Jonas has to be stood outside the shower room and my room with a nurse just in case i decide i want to commit suicide, not that i will..its just procedure because a few weeks ago Amy committed suicide in the middle of the day and nobody knew until it was too late. I'm not one for suicidal thoughts i wouldn't have the guts to do it, i've already put my parents through enough, i wouldn't want to cause any more upset for them.

I sat at the one empty table in the back of the dinning hall flattening my shirt out a i sat so it didnt become creased while i waited for everyone to eat. Kids sat in their large groups talking and laughing, i feel as if i'm back at school. I never had a great time at school, it partly the reason for why i'm here, yes i was bullied and yes it was by someone a lot more popular than me. Her name is Chloe she was in most of my classes at school, i was never a fat kid i know that..but she always found a way to pick at my weight, my grandmother died around 2 years ago and she found ways to pick at it as soon as i went back to school after her funeral. She said to me 'I know people have different ways of grieving but yours has made your even fatter, did you eat all your food in your house before you came back?' A lot of people found her remarks and jokes funny.

Although some kids didn't they stuck up for me and eventually got her to stop for a little while, but she thought it was appropriate to start up again once i'd grieved for a few months. This time my parents got involved and lets just say they were devastated, by this time i was probably down to eating maybe twice or three times a week and they'd noticed that, they just thought i was having my dinner at different times to them when actually i was giving it to our dog.

I was brought out of my thoughts by Jonas, sitting by me with his bowl of cereal, a glass of orange juice and a glass of milk, which i assumed was mine, although compared to yesterday it seemed to have more in it. "No cheese on toast today Autumn?" I shook my head and eyed up the glass of milk. He spent about half an hour trying to convince me to drink the whole glass of milk which i didn't, i drank a little bit and just gave up.

I took the normal walk down to Sally's desk, it was busier than normal, i guess it was time for some of the new kids form the other Hospitals to move in today. I watched as some kids came in with their parents and their belongings behind them. Staff from the Unit were giving out directions and room numbers for the new kids and wrapping their name bracelets round their left wrist, they're there so that all nurses and staff know what disorder we have, our age and our name so that they can identify who we are without their computer systems. Its hard to tell someones condition by just looking at them, some kids looked like their was nothing wrong at all, like they were just here to visit their brother, sister or their friend.

All round it took Sally about an hour to get everyone sent off to their rooms with their families and their support worker, in some cases also a nurse. Some kids went off to their rooms with another kid who the unit call suitable for help, they're allowed to show visitors around the unit and stuff like that. Although Cody had his fair share of outbursts he was one of them. He came back from showing whatever family it was around and sat on the edge of Sally's desk beside me. "Sorry for the other day, you know my little moment" He always apologised to everyone whenever it happened, not that he needed to. It wasn't his fault. "Don't be daft Cody, it wasn't even your fault." He quickly smiled and jumped off the desk before wondering back down the long corridor.

I sat and had a short conversation with sally about whats been on the TV this week, she's told me to watch Breaking Bad and Gossip Girl, they're both on Netflix and apparently they're really entertaining. We talked for a little while before we were interrupted by the doors opening and a woman rushing in with two suitcases and a tall blonde haired boy.
