Addy's Lullaby

Addy's Lullaby Chapter 6

I was here in this horrid, crazy place for about two weeks now and no one to talk to until it was free time or lunch. However there is this boy... He always sits alone and I always want to go say hello but I'm nervous. What if he is mean... What if he just simply doesn't want company. There are so many what-ifs in my mind that I can't think straight but I think I'm gonna say Hi... So I walked over there to him at lunch and sat next to him. He looked up at me and slightly smiled. "It's nice to finally talk to someone." He said quietly. I blushed at his deep voice thinking he had to be eighteen or nineteen. "I'm Addy," I offered, "I'm new to this.. place and I always see you sitting alone so I thought I might join you. Is that okay?" He smiled softly saying, "Of course Addy, pleasure to meet you I'm Justin. You look so young like 16?" I blushed he was thinking about my age too. And he got it correct. "Yep, I'm 16 and you're?" "19" he offered back. I smiled and ate my food. "So why are you here? You look so normal and peaceful." He shrugged his shoulders and smiled widely, "You look normal too, but we all have our issues. I decided that my mother hated me and went off killing some kids in my school. And my mother showed all her hate by putting me in this place. What about you Addy, why are you here?" I looked at him and also smiled, "Stabbed my ex-boyfriend and he almost died." My smile faded. "And my mother died in a horrible car accident, the police said her body was completely mangled." He looked at me kinda startled, "I'm so sorry." I looked down and finished my food with saying, "It's not your fault. Right?" He smiled and I smiled back, walking back to my room. Room 256. Second floor. Rats everywhere and water too. Eck. Disgusting, who would want to be here? I grabbed my night clothes and put them on. I layed on the bed with so many thoughts I just had to get some sleep, but I couldn't. Justin is so cute. Does he like me? What if he doesn't like me. Who cares, I gotta get out of here. How will I though? This is a padded room with stone on the outside, it's not like I can claw my way out. I can't just leave Justin. He can help me get out, and he can come. Yes that's a great idea! But how? I will talk about it with him over breakfast tomorrow. For now, I need some sleep so I can wake up refreshed and ready. I fell asleep, and when I woke up the next morning I quickly got dressed and walked to the lunch room. Breakfast looked good today, hashbrowns, eggs, toast, and bacon. Yum.
