Y/N's POV

They didn't make me do group today. I'm thankful for that, but the meeting with Doctor Candy, yeah they made me go to that. And that's where I am now. Yet, as always I'm not speaking. I'm not even writing anything down. She keeps trying to get me to do something, but all I can do is stare straight at the floor in front of me. I don't know what's wrong with me. The events of yesterday may have something to do with it. One moment I see that girl being carried away, next I'm sitting in the corner of my room with Anna in front of me. And then the memory coming back and then us having that short conversation. Then nothing. Although I did wake up in my bed, and the blue eyed girl was nowhere to be seen, sadly.

"Alright...Something's going on up inside that head of yours. Y/N, this is a safe space. You're here to talk. Let things off of your chest," Doctor Candy spoke. She stood from her seat and I lifted my head a bit. She walked around her chair and placed her hands on the back of it, gripping it. "I know that things have been challenging. What happened yesterday was awful and I know you took it hard. But know that girl's okay. We got to her in time." I picked my head up a bit more, meeting her eyes. I look away a moment later and pick up my board and marker, writing quickly and then putting it back down on the table. Doctor Candy walks over and picks it up, her eyes scanning it.

Who is she? She's not in group.

A sigh escapes the woman as she sets down the board, nodding her head up and down before taking a seat. I reach over and grab the board, erasing it then stopping. I pick my head up a bit, to make sure she knows I'm listening. "She's just a girl, Y/N. A girl just like everybody else in this place. She's also only been here for a week and a half. We didn't think the group would help her right away."

I pick up my marker and place it on the board writing quickly. Once I finish, I pick the board up and turn it around, showing Doctor Candy. For a moment the room grows silent, as I watch her eyes read the words placed among the board. I look away after a moment, before hearing her chair creak.

But you put me in group on my second day here. I pretty much was in the same position as her. I know she was beaten, abused, by the wounds on her face and arms. I couldn't even imagine what else could've been done to her . The slit marks on her arms could only hide so much. I know because I've lived it.

"Y/N-" Her voice is unsteady. I place the board down, keeping the wording on it. Silence filled the room after my name from Doctor Candy's unsteady and shaken voice lingered in the air. I bit my bottom lip, looking to the words, now reading them over and over again till I felt hands on mine. I turn my head and meet brown eyes. Doctor Candy bends down in front of me, her eyes switching back and forth between mine. "You know you're very strong Y/N. You may not see it, but me and Wolf and everyone here does. What you went through...These scars among your body proves how strong you are. And that girl had gone through something similar, yes. But as a doctor I have to decide what's right for each individual person. For you...I thought it would help you to see other kids who were also struggling. I treat everybody differently Y/N. As do the other doctors."

I nod my head up and down as she squeezes my hands a bit before standing up. I take a hold of the board and erase what I had, before writing something else quickly.

I know you treat everybody differently, but at the same time you treat them the same, except me. Why?

I toss the board down, a loud noise escaping into the room. Doctor Candy turns and eyes me before looking to the board. She bends over a bit, her brown eyes scanning my words. It takes her about a moment before she's standing upright again and looking at me. I look away, to my hands as I mess with the cap of the marker.
