Have I Gone Insane Yet?

•1•

you would think love would be so easy especially with the person you can see you spending the rest of your life with but no instead I'm running for my life afraid of what I have created.

*6 months earlier*
"the court hereby declare that your Aunt is now your legal guardian and you must stay with her till the age of 18"
great 2 years stuck with my crazy aunt who runs a haunted jail in a town nobody has heard of this is totally what I wanted to do with my life.
ugh packing the one thing I've done way too many times but this time where I'm going I'll be staying there for longer than I don't know like a week, I dread the sound of hearing my aunt's old car pulling up to my current foster mums house this means I'll be leaving her and if you haven't realised yet I seriously don't want too.
"Cassidy must I go with her she's weird...and she smells"
Cassi reminds me that she is the last of my living family so I have too, I sigh at the thought of another new town with new people and new assholes trying to start fights (which btw is my favourite part I love getting into a good punch up gets the built up anger out real quick)
My aunt pulls up in the driveway getting out of the car to greet me ugh I can smell her from here and I'm 4 ft away, oh no crazy lady is hugging me save me please.
"Aunt Lydia what a... pleasant surprise" I say with pure disgust she's so yucky.
after my final reluctant goodbyes to Cassidy I am on my way to my new home Bridge Rose, why must she live four hours away from the last part of humanity I swear if I die nobody will even know this place is sooo...cut off from the rest of the world.
Oh thank the Lord we are finally here
As I go to grab my stuff my aunt grabs my arm and pulls me back down, I look at here confused what does she want?
"Listen Avani sweetheart there is something I need to tell you" she says full of I can't tell if it's concern or excitement
"yes aunt Lydia what is it?"
"hun inside this jail is more than just ghosts"
"like humans?"
"no sweetie look actually don't worry about it pretend I said nothing ok"
"o-ok"
I finally am freed from her grip and I grab my stuff and head out of the car into her very old timey home which used to be the wardens house.
Aunt Lydia shows me to my room which is very plain and needs a lot of decoration which if I'm staying here for two years looks like my job.
So basically I just sit in my room for hours until aunt calls dinner, I walk out there to see my favourite food sitting on the table
"I thought this might make things feel more homey I understand it's going to take you a long time to adjust to this place but trust me after a while you will love it here just like your mother did"
My mum the drug addict that sold me for meth why the fuck would I wanna be like her, I sit at the table and begin to eat my food when I am spoken to again
"if you like after dinner I can show you around the jail?"
I nod my head...what this is probably the only good thing about this new place is the jail.

We walk through the surprisingly brightly lit jail my aunt tells me about the history of the jail and all the different inmates seen throughout the halls, after walking through for a few hours yes hours this place is massive we come to a halt in the main common area/ court rooms which connects the whole jail together.
"and that my dear boy concluded the tour-"  my aunt begins to stare off into space at this girl obviously trying to hide
"what are you all doing here I told you to stay hidden while he's here your lucky he can't see you"
unfortunately dearest aunt this is where your wrong I can clearly see the girl standing behind one of the cell doors I decided to play along in the act my aunt has created
"who are you talking to?"
"nobody" she said so quickly it was like she was anticipating the question.
She hurries me out of the jail looking behind her constantly
who was that girl and why is my aunt so scared?.
