touch
something i've always dreaded, ever since i was little.
all the kids on the play ground would run away from me
not because i was ugly, weird looking, etc
because i would threaten them.
i never knew why i felt like this, why i couldn't just be normal. do normal things.
well now, im 16. and i am here, in a "mental institution" or whatever. i just think of it as home.
ive never had a real home. a forever home. they moved me around a lot in the adoption center.
but something ive never wanted the feeling of touch. human touch,
now, back to what was happening now.
i am sitting on my hard, cold, bed thinking of where i would be if i wasn't like how i am i hear the keys from the outside of the door and look up from my trance. i hear the door click and a guard walks in, with
someone?
no, i cant have this happen, no, no, no!
"y/n, you have a new roommate. we tried getting you another one of the same sex but apparently we couldn't." the guard spoke pushing the other patient into the room almost falling on me
almost touching me
i move swiftly before he could touch me and he looks up to me and examines my face. i give him a blank stare
"why?" i ask
"huh?" he asks, confused.
"why are you in here? you insane?" i get up from my bed "crazy?" i look at him and start walking around the room "lost your bonkers? marbles? mind?" i say looking at him with a shaper glare.
"i- i-" he sighs "voices" he says
"voices?" i say
"i hear voices. voices of others. in my head, they told me to kill,, my parents. and i guess i did, so now im here with you." he gets up and stands above me, since he is taller than me,
i caution myself from his touch once again.
he hovers over me. in this time i notice his pretty black curls and brown eyes that could kill
"youre very beautiful" he says
"okay." i say back
he reaches for my arm and i pull away fast
"woah, im not going to hurt you"
"Haphephobia, i have Haphephobia. its a fear of human contact and whenever i have it i have rage fights."
"i guess we both have problems"
"i guess so."
"whats your name darling?" he asks
"y/n, and yours?"
"finn"
he sits down on the bed.
"god im hungry. we should sneak out" he says with a smirk. that devilish smirk.
"are you crazy !"
"yes, yes i am."
he says reaching for my hand, but i pull back and he rolls his eyes as he starts picking the lock on the door.
"youre insane."
"maybe a little" he says
later, y/n and finn became bestfriends who got into so much trouble in this institution, later finn touching y/n on her arm, and she has a outbreak and yells and screams and feels like hes burning.
a few years later end up being together, and no matter how many voices,, and how much lack of touch she had, they ended up running away together and changing their names together.
