Sane

A throbbing resonates throughout my head as a long high pitched noice slowly leaves my ears; each minute more painful than the next.
I slowly open my eyes and am met with a dull, tall ceiling that would take a very long ladder to even think about trying to get up there. The dim lights shine throughout the room illuminating just enough light that I can see around the room a little bit.
A sense of uneasiness washes over me as I look around and see the layout of the room.

It was about 20 feet across and was a pale white. There are all sorts of medical tools hanging from the walls, to laying on small metal movable tables.
I gulp as I see many scalpels and syringes, being heavily intimidated by them.

How the hell did I get here?

I ask myself as I stop looking around the room and close my eyes for a few minutes.
I hold them closed and inhale deeply then exhale, trying to collect myself and sooth the pounding in my ear.

"I need to get out of here." I say wanting to get away from the smells of chemicals and metal.
I try to lift myself up only to feel my body being restricted. Now on full alert, I start to panick as I realize I can't move my body.

I wiggle and squirm my body, I even go as far as to scooch downwards to try and slip under it, but to no avail I was stuck.

"Help!" I shout as loud as my dry, horse would let me.

"PLEASE SOMEBODY!! HELP MEEEE!" I continue to scream, hoping someone, anyone would hear me.

Tears well up in my eyes as my heart beats wildly in my chest, my lungs burning as I start to hyperventilate.

"Please." I squeak out. Losing all hope as fear of what is going to happen sets in.

How could this have happened?
Just lastnight I remember coming home from my best friends Sam's.
I had spent the night with her because her boyfriend had just broken up with her.  All I remember is getting in the car before everything starts to get foggy. For some odd reason I can't remember anything past that.

After a good thirty minutes of me off and on panicking in my head, I heard the heavy metal door open to reveal two people in nurse outfits.
One was a female, she had bright blond straight hair that's looked really shiny and silky to be honest. If I weren't in this predicament I would probably ask her about her hair routine.
The second person was a boy around my age, he had dark brown hair and brown mocha eyes to go with it. His tan skin reflected the dull light and his muscles were easily visible through his musing outfit. They both had on masks so I could only the their eyes.

"We got a newbie Nicholas." Chirped the blond. Under that masks was a smile, prolly some pearly whites to go with it.

The guy with the so called name Nicholas, sighed and hummed in approval before looking down at a clip board I hadn't even noticed. He looked more bored if anything, his brown eyes darting all over the words carefully.

"Destiny Camp?" He asks. My name rolling out of his name smoothly.
We make eye contact for a second before I look down at the end of the gurney I am laying on.

"Y-yes." I say quietly.
"He stares for a moment longer before nodding his head and writing something down.

"You know they don't take to kindly to newbies here." The girl with the bright blond hair said.
I knew she was talking to me cause she walked a little closer to me and started inspecting me as if I were a piece or art.

"What do you m-mean?" I ask. Anxiety building up more and more.

A smirk plays on her lips and she places her hand on a scalpel, then looks back at me.

"The other patients sometimes get disturbed from the new faces and find them threatening. Let's just say the newbies got the easy way out by being buried rather than having to stay here." She said and smirk even more.

" Stop it Maddie." Says Nicholas, his voice echoing in the room.
The room turns a painful silence, other than the ac unit blasting on high making the room awfully cold.

"Don't listen to her." He says and looks at me in my eyes.
" She's-"

" She's what?" Maddie says sarcasticly whipping her head to look at him.

He shakes his head and laughs lightly.
"She's just over reacting." He says.
Part of me wants to believe this but, another tells me that he's just trying to make me feel better.

"Why am I here?"  I suddenly blurt out. Might as well ask some questions.
There it goes again, silence.

Maddie goes to say something but is cut off by Nicholas's voice.
"That's not our place to tell you." He says then turns to walk out the room.

Before I could even say anything else, the heavy door slams shut, leaving me in the cold pale room alone with my thoughts.
