Summer
"You have no right" I screamed at the top of my lungs. My stupid brother had added another stupid decision to his very long list of stupid decisions.
"You have to understand Summer that if I don't this, if you don't do this," his voice was starting to become a little shaky.
"If you don't do this I might just lose you forever and I don't want that. I could never forgive myself." I could see the hurt in his eyes, the desperation in his voice. He was trying to reason.
"Don't give me that bullshit Drew, just because I had a little fun you think you have a right to kick me out of my own home." I screamed and I started throwing everything within my reach at him.
"Stop, just stop" he came close to me and engulfed me in his arms. I tried to break free but I couldn't, he was too strong for me.
"This is the only way, Summer, we don't have a choice" he was clearly trying to soothe me.
"We have to do this, it's the only way." He said softly
"Let me go Drew," I broke free from his arms.
"You know what this is ridiculous. I made up my mind I'm not going and you can't make me. You can't just throw me into some loonybin just because it will ease your conscience" I screamed running upstairs to my room.
I had not been in my room since I lost my parents. I just preferred to sleep in one of the empty guest rooms or at any stranger's house I happen to wake up next to. I didn't wear the same clothes, I didn't have the same friends. I basically stopped living , I lost what was most important to me and I found no reason to live.
I guess Drew had had it with my newly found wild side.I guess at first he thought it was just a phase but then it happened over and over and I'm guessing he could not take it anymore.
I don't know when I fell asleep because I had spent most part of the night cussing at the top of my lungs until it was just whispers. I wanted to cry but I couldn't,I felt numb. I wanted to scream but my voice was gone. I wanted to do something, anything but my body stood still.
______***
The following morning Drew was not taking it. He brought his friend Michael to "come help". Basically that was him saying "you're going whether you like or not so deal with it" i didn't resist, I had already given up when I saw Michael.
He was the type of guy with a strong manly physique unlike my brother Drew who I could easily toss out the window. You could see by just his physique that Drew had not been in the gym for a while now, not that he was getting fat or anything just his muscles were not as toned as Michael's.The car ride to Edgewater was very quiet. I didn't feel like talking and Drew was in a "no bullshit" mood. Michael tried talking to ease the tension but I just ignored him making things more hostile than they already were.
We got there and I must admit it didn't look like what I had in mind. It was pretty modern for a loonybin. The place was made entirely of glass and there were beautiful flowers gardens upfront. Not that it made my opinion about this place any better, actually it did the opposite.
"Come on Summer," Micheal called as they went through the huge doors.
I went in and I was surprised (not pleasantly surprised though) it looked pretty decent. I had expected nuns walking around with hushed whispers and ancient buildings with creepy statues but this place looked like those fancy golf clubs in the country side.
We sat on the chairs near the reception area while I Drew was doing the necessary paperwork. Then a sharp scream filled the halls and a door opened a lifeless girl was carried up the stairs by two terrifyingly good looking guys.
I looked at the door thinking how to get out of here before it's too late. Drew looked up at me as if though he were reading my thoughts and mouthed
