I woke up a white room in a gown. 'Oh right I'm in the hospital' I thought to myself. I looked over and I didn't see an IV or anything of the sort I didn't even have a heart monitor. 'This is weird' I thought to 'Myself why am I here?'
Someone next to me said, "You had a music breakdown this ward is sectioned off just for people like us."
'Shit I actually said that out loud' "I then realized that I didn't have my music and I started screaming "oi calm down" my roommate said.
"CALM DOWN HOW CAN I CALM DOWN WHERE IS MY IPOD WHERES MY HEAD PHONES I HAVE TO LISTEN TO SLEEPING WITH SIRENS NEW ALBUM!" I screamed.
"That's why you're in here, music overload" he said and a nurse rushed in.
"What's wrong?"she said with a genuine look of sympathy unlike what you normally see in a hospital.
"My music I need it where is my iPod?"
"Shhh calm down you get one hour of music a day."
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN ONE HOUR I CANT DO THIS I NEED MUSIC NOW" I screamed and she ran out of the room
"Oi you scared her off mate" he said he was kind of cute. No no how can you think of boys in a time like this. I heard the nurse whispering outside and my name while my roommate kept talking "shh I need to hear this" but it was too faint to make out I heard "I know the rules but this one needs it I can tell.... I know but I... Ok..." Is all I heard. 'What the hell is going on in here' I turned to my roommate. "What's your name?"
"Max"
"Max why are we here?"
"I already told you mate, music overload a lot of teens like us are here this is what they call a 'music rehab center' it's just a fancy way to say that it's not ok to listen to music." He said put air quotes around music rehab center.
"WHAT!!" I started trying to calm myself down digging my nails into my palms. 'How could they do this to us did my parents put me here? Why am I here?' I couldn't handle not listening to music so I started singing Hold on till May by Pierce the Veil an older song but I needed it and Max joined me as soon as we said 'darling you'll be ok' I started crying and the nurse walked in again. She was really pretty she had a sleeve of tattoos and what looked like a tattoo that said music saves lives i pointed to the tattoo "thats an ironic tattoo being as I'm not allowed to LISTEN TO MY MUSIC HERE" I screamed at her.
"Relax, relax. Music saves lives i know that and I hate this job here take your iPod back if you get caught with it though we're both done got it?" I nodded and she handed me my iPod and headphones she walked out and I immediately started to listen to kick me by Sleeping With Sirens humming along to it "can I listen too?" Max asked. "Of course I smiled at him and he got into my bed and I handed him an ear bud while we jammed to kick me.
