His Savior // H.S. sequel

Chapter 3

Who was he?

That was my biggest question right now.

The strange feeling I got in my stomach when I saw him was unexplainable, it was like I knew him but I know I didn't, I couldn't.

Sr. Mary Eunice took me by the arm lightly and casually small talked me as we walked to my room, she was kind, but I knew she was under Sister Jude's wing and not to say the wrong things, I wanted to be on their good side.

She sat me down on my bed and stood in front of me, "You're a sweet girl, it's too bad you're in this disgusting place." I gave a soft smile and put my head down, she took one finger to my chin and lifted it, "God bless your soul." She gave me a sympathetic look as she walked of my cell and closed the door behind her gently.

As soon as I began to think about the strange guy I saw before, sharp pains arose in my head, there was something I wasn't supposed to know. By the direction this is going in, Dr. Thredson knew and I didn't, he knew why I passed out, and he knew I would feel violated when he touched me the way he did, by the vibes he knew he was giving off. I felt obligated to find out what I couldn't remember.

All at once, I heard a patient spitting words at what I guessed were doctors as they shuffled down the hall only to stop at the room next to mine, I heard the door open, slam shut, and lock. Sister Jude's voice roared, echoing in my cell and the one across from mine, "Get over it!" Her voice followed to a mumble "Inconsiderate boy."

Did someone else get committed today? Who?

There was a small hole in my wall that showed how outdated this place was, it was gross.

Should I? Um.. Oh well. "Hello..?" Maybe this was a bad idea, considering he was attempting to fight off the doctors on his way to the cell but I'm not one to ignore my curiosity.

"Wh- um, oh shit."
He whimpered a stern voice in response.

"Um, hole.. in the wall... I'm in the cell next to you." I chuckled and he let out a small 'oh'.

I heard him sit against the cold concrete wall basically with his back against mine, "I'm Delilah.." I spoke softly.

He seemed like he didn't want me knowing who he was because the silence and awkwardness filled the air when I was expecting a name from him.

"Uh.. Were you committed today..?"

"Look, I don't think it's a good idea I talk to you.." He spoke harshly but I could tell he meant best.

"I'm sorry.." I knew it wasn't a good idea for me to talk to him either, he could've been in my head which was one of things I was trying to avoid most, the medicine they constantly gave us didn't help much but you would think the daily therapy sessions would block that out a bit, now that I'm getting those vibes from Dr. Thredson, it most likely won't help much anymore either.

I jumped up as I heard someone shifting down the hall with a cart rolling in front of them, I sat on my bed, however when they reached my room I realized it was a nurse and I also recalled that it must be at least around 8:30 which meant meds. She unlocked and opened my cell door, grabbing a cup from her cart and sticking her hand out. The small looking cup had two pills in it, one yellow and one pink, I took it politely from her and tossed them into my mouth, swallowing with another petite cup she gave me that held water. "Common room in 20 minutes, okay?" She smiled, I mumbled an 'okay' and sat back onto my bed. She closed my door and moved to the room next to mine.

I listened closely as the nurse routinely unlocked his door, I heard the man rudely reject the pills by throwing them onto the floor.

The sharp pains filled my head and I blacked out once again,

--

I looked up at the old house that stood before us. I watched as my mom got out of the car and walked to the front steps; I followed, scanning the outside of the broken house; old and destroyed. I identified the boarded up, broken glass windows and the rotten bricks that held the house up, looking like they'd collapse at any moment. As I looked at every window, I glanced at a figure that stood in one of them but it quickly disappeared. I brushed it off and followed my mom closer to the house.

 "This place is beautiful." I spoke lightly and my mother agreed. 

"The best we will ever get."
