Chris sighed as he leaned down to take his shoelaces off. He hated the hospital protocol even though it was probably for the best.
"Just empty your pockets for me, let Bernie here pat you down and you'll be on your way in," said the orderly, Mrs. Jones.
Chris smiled sadly at her in response and emptied his pockets. Walking over to Bernie, he put his arms straight out and stood there as Bernie pat him down. Bernie looked over at Mrs. Jones and nodded. Mrs. Jones smiled and buzzed the door open. She walked in and looked behind here, "Come on, honey. It'll be okay."
Chris gave her a tight smile. He'd been to this kind of hospital 4 times in the past. This was his first time at this particular hospital because his family had just moved. "Thanks."
"Alright, love. Let me take you on the tour," she said and took Chris on a tour of the facility. She told him to call her Mary and introduced him to Mr. Hill the psychiatrist, Ms. Miller the head nurse and a patient named Ashley.
"Hi, you can call me Ash," she said. Ash smiled at Mary and said, "Thanks, Mary. I'll take the fresh meat from here," she said smiling and winking at Mary.
Chris laughed as Mary left them alone in the hallway, "Fresh meat? Thanks."
Ash grinned, "That's right, babe. So, what's your name and why you here?"
Chris swallowed hard, "Uh...I thought that was a...taboo question."
"Not for me. I'm straight forward. You'll grow to like it, I'm sure. So, at least tell me your name. Or I'll pick a name for you," she said smirking.
Chris raised an eyebrow. He could get used to her. "The name's Chris and….uh, I tried to kill myself again…"
"Whelp. That makes two of us, Chris-o," she said and grabbed his hand, "Now, back to the tour." She led him around the halls showing him the showers, rec room, dining hall and where group therapy sessions will be held. She pulled him over to some rooms, "These are the private therapy offices. You'll probably get Ivy because of your situation but who knows, they might put you with Dr. Hill," she said and made a face.
"What? You don't like Dr. Hill?"
"Eh, I find him a little creepy," she said. She was just about to take him to see where he'd be staying when the room to Dr. Hill's office opened and a boy who looked to be around Chris and Ashley's age walked out with his head down. He was wearing an oversized sweater and some pajama pants that fit just right. He walked past them, heading towards the patient's rooms.
Chris followed the boy with his eyes. "Who's that?" he asked Ashley.
"Oh, him? That's Josh. Don't waste your time. Mary had me show him around and all he said to me the entire time was his name. No one knows why he's here and he won't talk to anyone," she said.
Chris hated to say it but he was intrigued. Josh was cute and Chris kind of wanted another friend here besides Ash. "Okay," Chris said, acting like he wasn't interested, "back to this tour thing."
(Before you read further please go back to the top and read the trigger warning if you haven't already.)
Josh curled up on his side in his bed and pulled the photo of his sisters out of his nightstand. Hannah and Beth had died two months ago in a car wreck with a drunk driver and their passing had sent him into a tailspin. So bad, his parents had to send him to the hospital...again. He hated it here. He hadn't gotten a full night of sleep since they died. If he was lucky he could get an hour or two at night and hopefully an hour nap during his rec time. He closed his eyes, hoping he might be able to get some sleep.
"Josh? Josh, wake up."
Josh opened his eyes and screamed when he saw his sister's bloodied and smashed face an inch in front of his.
"Josh. Aren't you going to kill the bastard who killed me?" Hannah asked.
"Yeah, Josh," came Beth's voice, right behind him, "Aren't you gonna slit his throat and watch the blood drain slowly from his neck?"
"Stop," he said.
"Come on, Josh," they said in unison, "Avenge our deaths.""STOP," he screamed as someone rushed in with the nursing staff.
"I was taking Chris on his tour when we heard Josh screaming! That's when we came and got you," Ash explained to the nursing staff as they sedated Josh.
"Thank you for getting us as soon as you heard him," Ms. Miller said, "How about we leave him to rest for a bit. He's sedated so he'll sleep for a couple hours. It's dinner time anyways," she smiled and pulled off her gloves.
"Alright. See you later, alligator," Ash said as she pulled Chris to the dining hall. "Exciting first day you've had," she said and grinned.
Chris winced, "Yeah...exciting."
