Cold

Alex sat on the plain white bed in his room.

He hadn't had an actual roommate in a long time. Perhaps he was just too crazy for everyone else in this place...

The Shepherd boy stared at the white tiled floor, entranced by the little boy sitting on the floor drawing; completely preoccupied.

"Josh..."

That was the only word Alex could muster while he glared at the oblivious brunette.

Josh didn't look up. Instead he kept drawing some disturbing image of a pink rabbit drowning in water.

Alex jumped slightly as the metal door to his room creaked open.

A pretty young Nurse walked slowly through the door.
She didn't say anything; instead she just smiled.

Alex smirked shyly in return, while sneakily trying to keep his eyes on Joshua.

The elder Shepherd had been keeping his younger brothers 'visits' to himself, that way he would be able to go home in a few days; if he remained sain.

Alex knew seeing his dead brother wasn't normal, but a part of him kind of enjoyed the younger Shepherd's company.

The Blonde haired Nurse stood nonchalantly in front of Alex.
"So how are you today, Alex?"

Alex sighed.

"Not too bad..."

The woman smiled.
"Good. So do you feel up to going to the Day Room for a while?"

Alex thought for a moment.
"Okay."

The Nurse then escorted Alex through the plain hall.

Alex felt uneasy when in these halls. Perhaps it was the unfamiliar surroundings, or the unfamiliar faces staring at him as walked grimly toward the Day Room.

The Day Room was rather simple. The only colours other than white were brown and the occasional light blue tile.

"Will you be alright here on your own?" The Nurse asked, snapping Alex out of his daze.

Alex scanned the room one last time before replying.

"Yeah, I'll be fine."

With that, the Blonde Nurse exited briskly through the door; off to tend to other patients.

Alex walked slowly toward a wooden seat facing the large window at the front of the room.
At first he felt bored by the lack of activity, but then got a shock when he noticed Joshua sitting in the seat next to him.

"Alex. Please don't look at me...I need you to get out of this place." Joshua whispered.

The elder Shepherd glared at the boy.
"J-Josh...I'm sorry, I can't help it."

Alex tried to look away, but at the same time, didn't want to take his gaze away from the pale beauty sitting beside him.

The sun was shining golden beams through the window, creating a glow on Joshua's thin form.

It was like gazing upon an Angel. Alex wasn't sure whether to keep looking, or risk destroying the precious memory.

"If I look away, will you stay with me?" Alex mumbled shyly.

Joshua giggled.

"Whether I stay or not, it's not going to matter, because you won't be looking at me."
Alex scowled.

"Please Josh, your all I have left..."

"Alex, you need to get out of this place!" Joshua pressed.
The older brunette averted his eyes to the lush garden on the othersider of the window.

"There you go. See not so hard ey?" Josh piped.

"I guess not..." Alex mumbled.
He waited for what felt like hours, trying to keep his gaze away from Josh and onto the trees.

The older Shepherd snuck a glance, but was shattered to find his younger brother's seat now vacant.
The ever so cold loneliness Alex had feared slowly began digging its claws into Alex, causing his eye's to well with fresh tears.

He couldn't be seen like this. Alex had to get back to his room before he would be deemed once again insane.

Alex rushed slightly to the comforting confines of his pale room.

Once inside, Alex sat slowly on the edge of his bed, taking slowly deep breaths while doing so.

Alex knew exactly why he reacted like this. It was mixture of the crippling guilt along with the harsh loneliness of Josh's accident.

The Shepherd boy sat there alone, waiting for Joshua's unexpected return.
