Psychiatric Hospital (Jai Brooks)

Did i make friends?

I've found out I share a room with a girl called lily, she has shoulder length blonde hair and green eyes.

"So, it's your first day huh? What are you in here for?" lily asked curiously.

After the little group thing two nurses led the girls back to their rooms and another two for the boys. I came to a plain room with two beds on either side, and a small window that when you look out of all you see is a little forest and the rainy weather.

"My parents found out I harm myself.." I reply cautiously, this is the first time I've ever admitted it to someone.

She gave me a sad smile. "That sucks, I have serious bipolar problems and my mum couldn't handle me. She said this place would help me, but in all honesty it doesn't." she said whilst shaking her head.

I didn't know what to say after that.

For a while a peaceful silence took over, but a few moments later there was a knock on the door.

"Girls, it's time to eat. Lily will you stay with amber? The first few days are always hard." the nurse spoke with a sweet smile and half her body peering round the door. This is the same nurse led me here earlier.

"Of course I will Jane." Lily replied whilst returning a smile.

We're walking down a long corridor towards the eating hall.

"So just stick with me, I could introduce you to my friends if you like?" Lily asked looking at the floor.

"Um, yeah sure." I replied casually, but inside I was now getting nervous. will I actually make a few friends in this dump?

Lily led me to a table, placing are trays on the table I'm greeted by two girls. one is a very pretty girl with black long hair and green eyes just like Lily's, the other has medium layered dark hair and bright blue eyes I could see the visible scars on her wrists.

"Amber, these are my friends.

this is Olivia" lily pointed to the girl with brown layered hair.

Olivia smiled at me.

"And this is Amy." She now pointed to the skinny girl with green eyes.

Amy smiled and waved at me.

"Hello"

"Hi" they both spoke at the same time to me.

We've been here for over 10 minutes just talking getting to know each other a little more. I've learned that they share a room, Amy and Lily have actually known each other since birth they lost contact and recently found each other again.

Olivia joined just a few weeks ago. she's has bulimia and suffers heavy depression.

I just sat there picking at my plate, recently I've been off my food.

The girls were talking about some activity that would be happening soon or something like that.

Soon after everyone had to go back to there rooms and lights out.

I stair up at the ceiling unable to fall asleep, so many thoughts rushing through my mind. How am I gunna cope here?
