Everyone hides behind their masks

Chapter one: The truth behind the pills.

"I don't really remember much about it, to be honest..." I mumbled. I hated it here. She wore the fakest smile I think I've ever seen.
"Just try to, dear, even the smallest thing would be helpful. Then we'd be able to get a good idea of what's going on in that big brain of yours." I didn't really want her inside my head. She can't know what I know. Who knows what they'd do with that information. But I had no choice. If I denied to speak to her, I would be isolated. Well, more than I already am. The woman that sat in front of me was the only person that spoke to me. The only person who'd spoken to me in months. I couldn't lose that, lose her. Even if she didn't really care.

Most people tend to avoid me. And with good reason too. I've never had a good connection with people. School was a nightmare. With my low social skills and social awkwardness, soon, it became pretty obvious that I wouldn't be able to make any friends. "Freak." They'd whisper, "Lilith the loner," they'd snigger. When those words circle your head for years, you tend to get used to them, almost believe them.

"Lilith?" I snapped back to reality. "Did you hear anything I just said?" The woman asked. Her brows knit in concern. Fake concern, obviously. I mean - who could ever care for me? The only person who has ever cared for me... well it doesn't matter. "Look. I need you to do something for me." She sighed, handing me a bottle of pills. "Twice a day - morning and night." I couldn't believe my eyes. Pills? So now they are trying to drug the crazy out of me? I almost laughed. Then I did something. Something I haven't done in a long time.

"No." I replied. Glaring daggers at me, she scoffed. She rolled her eyes. This only wanted me to infuriate her more."NO! I will not take these pills. These drugs! I know you think I'm crazy! Hell, you would go crazy too if people avoided you! If they whispered loud enough just so you'd hear! You too would go crazy, if the only person who talked to you didn't give a damn about you! I'm sick of it! I won't take these pills! I'm aware everyone thinks I'm insane! But these pills won't help! They'll only hide the truth! It's obvious I'm being locked away because I'm the only one who knows the truth! I'm being treated as though I'm mentally ill because you and the rest of your company don't want the world to find out about your lies! But guess what? They'll find out about it. Just you wait. The public will see that their lives are a whole bunch of lies. Then - they'll turn on you. Just like your company has turned on me. You'll get what's coming to you. Wait and see!" I shouted in her face. That felt good. Finally, I stood up for myself. My hands were shaking violently. Quickly, I took a sip of water. I hoped this would calm my nerves. Ugh, I hate fighting with people. She smiled the most malicious and unsettling grin. Slowly, my vision began to become pixelated. Then I realised. She had drugged me, my water. Dammit! No. No. This can't be happening. Oh god, help! Please, no. The world began to spin. Help me, please. I'm scared.
