James eyes were wide open. no one had come to check on him. hed been there for hours. he felt like the sun had already risen for the next day. maybe he was just hallucinating. He sat up his stomach was churning.

"knock knock..." the doctor entered.

'thank god' James said to himself.

"how are we doing?"

"ive been waiting in here for a while for someone to come check on me has it been a day yet."

"James... we gave you the medication twenty minutes ago."

He stared at the doctor in couriosity. he was very confused and very scared.

"i gave it to you myself remember?"

James shook his head no.

"oh youre having a negative reaction to the meds. lets get you transferred to the lower level ward... and on some regular medications does that sound okay?"

"the lowere level ward?"

"there are other people their you can hang out make friends and talk about your problems... we will have you on some hunger encouraging open mind medications. theyre are natural grown and perfectly safe."

"yeah..."

"yeah?"

"yeah."

James smiled at the doctor and stood up to follow him out the door.

...

Kendall sighed as he looked into the room to see carlos lying on the bed alseep.

"carlos?" Kendall whispered.

The latino stirred.

"litos?"

"hey... kendall..."

"i came to check on you."

"come on in..."

Kendall sat down next to the caramel colored boy. Carlos asked the blonde boy what was wrong but kendall amitted no response he only sat their and stared at the boy as tears ran down his face.

"i wrote you a letter."

"why?"

"im not good at speaking to people..." kendall slipped his hand in his pocket and pulled out an envelope. "im going to leave this here" he laid it on carlos` nightstand. "im going down to the mess hall to get some food ill be back i promise... do you want anything?"

"no thanks."

...

Ms. Knight sat on her bed. all she could do was stare at the framed portrait of her with Kendall and Katy. She sighed because she had lost both of them. one she feared to be dead and the other hasnt spoken to her since...

She got up and looked at her house for the first time since she lost Katy. All she could think about was how she wished a gust of wind would shatter her home and rip the nails out of the past and send her to a land where everything made sense. she found herself in the bathroom looking at her mirror in the ugly light. her skin was pale and her robe was filthy.

She saw her razor and looked at her legs. she needed to groom herself. She would try. She lathered them up with her creams and grabbed the peice of plastic holding it to her leg. she swipped down slowly. once... twice...

"ow..." she whispered. blood dripping from her calves. she held the razor up to her eyes to look at the blood. she broke the razor and took out the sharp piece she looked at her arm and back at the mirror.

"Ms. Knight?" Logan had let himself into the building and found no sign of intellegent life anywhere. After getting no response he decided to investigate.

Mrs. Knight, having not heard her sons best friends voice, puntured her skin and dragged up. she watched as he veins released their depth. she held it over the other arm but before she could muster up the courage she hit the ground and unconciousness consumed her.

(muffled) " !"

Dear Carlos,

I couldnt tell you in person because i knew youd be ashamed or even mad at me... ive doen awful things. Remember those boys that violated my sister? Well theyre dead now... It wasnt difficult. life left them just as easily as youre going to leave this hospital. im going to get you out of here i promise. their is nothing wrong with you. you should have been out a week ago. their is something not right about this hospital. you need to be free. i miss you litos... come home.

Carlos sat there reading the piece of paper in horror. he didnt know if he could trust kendall especially if he did kill people... then again those people hurt Katy and thats completley understandable. what if he was right though.

A doctor entered and smiled at carlos.

"how are we feeling today?"

"good."

"i noticed you had a visitor."

"that was my friend kendall."

"he doesnt seem to be doing that well is he okay?"

"yeah uh-"

"what you got their"

"Nothing..." carlos played it of half grinning and crumbleing it up before throwing it away.

"well its time for some medications okay."

Carlos noticed an evil look in the doctors eyes. He nodded and took the cup the doctor held out. squirreling them beneath his toung he sat in silence until the doctor grinned and left.

...

"excuse me sir?"

"yes?" Kendall turned to look at the man. it was a security gaurd.

"ive just been notified that you are not allowed to be here."

"im sorry."

"please leave or ill escort you off the premisis. "

"i promised my friend id be their for him."

"im sorry please leave."

...

"good morning sweetness." A nurse smiled down at her. you're doing much better now but try not to move okay. you seem to have been in an accident."

Katy groaned turning her head to see her face in the mirror. She began to cry for she was safe now. she could not speak. she held her hand over her face to find some sort of metal device.

"you bit a doctor on the way in we had to conceal you. cant remove it until dr. Mitchell does a full analysis. now you lie back down and i will be back in a few hours to check on you." the nurse turned to walk away and Katy noticed a logo on her back.

Briarcliff

She attepmted to scream but no sound came out. as the door locked she stared into the glass pothole watching her nurse leave. She strained against her restraints thrashing and crying out. No one could help her. She cried to herself for she knew all about Briarcliff she remembered grandma Winters even on her deathbed she was ambitious and looking for a story.

"welcome back to briarcliff"
