Death Wish
Cindy's P.O.V.
A Day Full
I knew perfectly well what would happen, plus I didn't drink any alcohol (thanks to Jay, Babul, and Cloud having a drinking contest) so I knew whose bed I was sleeping in. And knew who I was cuddling into, but I was cold... and he hogged all the blankets. It wasn't the first time this happened, oh no, for some reason they (they being Yannah, Cloud, and Scarlet) find it amusing when two people freak out when they wake up in the same bed.
The first time it happened to me it was with Yannah, which luckily I already knew the dares n' all, I was sober enough the night before to remember why.
But still, here I was all comfy and cozy when I got shoved off. I gave a squeak of surprise as my butt found the floor.
"What the hell were you doing on my bed?" A vice snapped, damn, why is he always a grouch in the morning… I wonder if he has a hang-over with all the beer he drunk, probably does.
"Apparently, getting shoved off." I snapped at him, watching as his lips quirked upwards a bit before flatting out. Wow, I do believe I've seen the beginnings of an apocalypse. I might not have known him long, two weeks and a bit more I believe, but he never smiled, at most smirked like a mad-man.
"Well you try waking up to someone right next to you!" He growled, I just raised a brow as I silently slinked around the bed. I did wake up to someone right next to me, three times (Second time being with Babul for some odd reason) and I didn't shove them out of bed.
I reached out and grabbed my crutches, pushing myself up on them. My eyes drifted back to Jay. His silver hair was more ruffled and his (pretty) blue eyes glared at where I used to be. I wonder if I can scare him…
""You know glaring at the floor won't change anything right?" I stated giving a grin as he jumped slightly. Mission succeeded. I need to thank Brook for that trick.
"Well…" Insert my internal sigh here, "I would have been glaring at you if you weren't so quiet and moved!" He hissed, getting up and walking to a portion of the wall to pick up clothes.
As he neared the door flew open almost hitting Jay in face but it still clipped his nose I think. Yannah stood at the doorway, her eyes giving a small apologetic glance at Jay before her eyes went back to me, a huge shit-eating grin spread across her face, fists balled up as she yelled, "Ready to see the camera?" fist unclenched and flew in the air in exited manner.
"God damn it Yannah, it's the morning! Later!" I snapped, rolling my eyes slightly.
"Cranky ass." Yannah mumbled, still smiling as she walked out. I opened my mouth; half tempted to respond when I thought better and closed it.
I heard a faint ow, my eyes swiveling over to Jay to watch as he scrunched his nose up in that cute rabbit way some people can do. After noticing his pain Jay walked out, presumably to go change in Ash's and Babul's room.
I let out a sigh and quickly scanned my room before hobbling over to my dresser to pick out some clothes, or more specific plain colors and baggy jeans. That's one of the downfalls of Starclan (mental institute) as well as not being able to wear make-up since some alcoholic/druggie decided to eat the damn thing to get a 'high', or what I call a trip to the hospital or nurse.
Personally I don't wear make-up so that part didn't bother me much. Now… do I want to skip breakfast or no… my stomach gave a loud gurgle telling me the answer of the question, shrugging I set to changing.
Now, time for breakfast, oh joy can you smell the crap in the air? The food here is like schools lunches, just five times worse, and as Cloud says 'its probable puke eaten and thrown up again.'
I think I should tell Jay, so he won't have to look for me or anything.
Quickly I walked to the door next to mine giving a sharp knock.
"C'mon in." A voice chirped from inside and I opened the door.
The first thing to notice was this poor body with a blue pillow covering his head, a hand drooped off the bed, fingertips touching the tips of the trashcan with something smelly coming from it, probably barf.
The second being Ash, his dark hair ruffled and guzzling down water with (hopefully, for Babul's sake) his pills.
Third was Jay, who was pulling a tan shirt over his head. "Well I'm going to breakfast; you know where math is right?"
"Yep." And with that I slowly exited, catching wind of the beginning of an argument.
"You think you can get there?"
"Yes."
"You su-" The door closed.
Breakfast, unlike lunch and dinner, is come in and get your meal, no wait or line, which was good for me.
Grabbing a tray I charged over to where I usually sit, Yannah and Cloud already sitting there.
"Wow, you two are being unusually quiet." I stated sitting next to Yannah. My eyes flickered up to see the blue eyes of Cloud were squeezed shut.
"Whitey here has a hang-over." Yannah explained, pointing at Cloud with her fork.
"And…?"
"I'm not that mean Cindy." Yannah stated, giving a fake pout before continuing to eat.
Cloud left as quickly as possible, forehead wrinkled up in pain, hell I'm surprised he wasn't acting like Babul; then again maybe that extra beer can gave Babul an edge.
"Did you see Babul yet?"
"Yeah, when I came in I got the pleasure of seeing this strange colored fluid coming out of his mouth as well, this is when you feel sorry for Ash." Yannah said, giving a pretend dry heave.
I chuckled, rolling my eyes slightly before getting up and leaving, already done with the pile of grey funky looking stuff.
Lunch time came up at incredible boring speed. So there I was, just standing in the line that went slower than a snail. Damn you… something. I really have no clue why the lines move so much slower than they do with dinner.
After a millennia, I got my lunch… and my pills. The pills I quickly dispersed of, having no need for them. Next, heading towards the table I always sat at.
"-you would be the easiest to eat, after all, you probably couldn't run for your life with the state you are in. Skin n' bones, probably could use a cheerio as a damn hula-hoop!" Cloud emphasized hula-hoop by pretending to have one, as well as dancing slightly.
"If you were to have a hula-hoop I don't think you would be dancing, just… ya-know shaking your ass. Then again I never hula-hooped so I wouldn't know." Yannah stated, taking a bite of the lunch we were served before pointing with the plastic spoon and saying, "Bang."
"Oh no! You got me." Cloud said sarcastically, hands flying to his heart as he faked rapid gasps before he collapsed and sat back to normal, swiping his pills and swallowing them. "All better. Hey Cindy. Did ya'll hear that they are now removing the knives again? Apparently some kid tried to kill another one."
"Ellers." I stated, lifting my hand before sitting down. "And, no I did not hear they were removing the knives."
"Who was the one that was almost killed?"
"Raven, ya-know, that shy little raven-headed boy?" Cloud stated, making Yannah snort slightly, "That boy ain't shy if he almost got killed."
"Raven almost got killed?" The soft voice of Bright interrupted as she plopped next to her other half (Her and Cloud usually being inseparable).
"Yeah by um… some kid." Cloud said giving a grin. Bright nodded slightly before digging through her pills and plopping two white capsules on the table that Cloud happily swooped up.
"Oh yeah, Babul and Scarlet send their byes, left in the middle of Thursday Therapy... or was it Friday Therapy?" Bright stated off handily.
Everyone pretty much nodded slightly, Yannah adding, "So that's what it is called." before hopping into another conversation before Jay plopped down.
"Hey."
"Ello."
"Hi."
Jay looked up slightly before going back to eating.
"You are supposed hello back you know." Yannah stated, giving a pout, amber eyes shining.
"Fine, hello. Good bye and good day." Jay stated sourly.
"You're no fun. So, after dinner anyone up to seeing the tapes? Please…?" Her voice seemed almost begging like.
"Sure, all for it."
"Sure, oh yeah anyone got 'homework' done?" I asked, looking around at the others.
"Yeah, wrote about the death of my dad." Cloud stated, shoving in more food.
"I can't write about the death of any loved ones, no one died." I stated, finishing the rest of my lunch,
"Not my problem."
"Never said it was."
Jay's P.O.V.
My nap was interrupted by a sharp poke in my side.
"Mmmm…" Another poke, followed by another, "Leave me alone." I managed to grumble in a sleep induced brawl.
"Wake up sunshine; we have a need to see your bright face." It was Cindy, her finger poked me again. Boy, that finger is bony, feels like a needle is sticking into you.
"Find a photo, let me sleep." I grumbled, turning around and pulling more of the blankets atop me.
"Uh, no. That's not going to work mister." Next thing I know the blankets are getting pulled off.
"Now, get up. Dinner." She commanded, presumably pointing one of those bony fingers at me.
"Yes princess. Right on it." I grumbled, making sure that sarcasm laced my every word.
"Don't get sarcastic on me mister. If I have to I will drag your butt out of this room." Cindy snapped.
"Huh, look who woke on the wrong side of the bed this morning." I mumbled, sliding into a sitting position before saying in a louder voice, "Oh I'm so scared, shivering in my skin."
"Doesn't help I got shoved out it, and yes, you should be scared. Now get up."
"A bit snappy are we." I stated, slowly getting into a standing position, rubbing my eyes slightly.
"Alright, I'm up now… night." And with that I fell onto my bed again, hands making a feeble attempt to find the blankets.
"I don't think so." Cindy said, her hand wrapping around my wrist and giving a hard yank, pulling me half way off the bed.
"God dammit! I'm tired!" I growled, my face forming into a scowl.
"You already slept half the day away, you can live an hour without sleep." Cindy retorted, dragging me the rest of the way off the bed, making sure I was on my feet before letting go. "Now, move it."
"Yes mother." I growled, dropping a shoulder for added effect.
"Yeah, yeah, so do what mommy says." She ordered, for some reason my mind pictured her doing what Leon said our mother did when she was scolding us, hands on hip and leaning on one side as she talked loudly.
"You do know that I rarely ever did things 'mommy' said right." I growled, slowly moving towards the door.
"Well, you got a new 'mommy' now and you will do as she says so move faster." Cindy snapped, giving me a shove on the shoulder. I scowled at her, moving faster, half tempted to slow further down just to see if I could piss her off.
"Good boy."
"Just don't eat it. It is pre-cut after all…" Cloud muttered, a clanging noise erupting as the tray fell onto the table.
"Whabs wong wif pwe-cut?" Yannah grumbled, speaking around food.
"Don't talk with your mouth full. And pre-cut meat that is served here? Do you have any clue what they might have put in it?" Cloud said, his voice sounding slightly strained.
"Yeah, food or the likes." Yannah responded snidely.
"I'd say rotting food at least, but I would think they put mysterious drugs in it or something." Cloud remarked sourly.
I gave a slight shrug at their conversation before stabbing where I thought the meat would be, and dragging it to my mouth to chew. I felt something shove me and heard a hollow 'clang' as a tray dropped onto the table, "Hey, Jay, two more weeks before family gets to visit, think mom will come?" Leon's voice rang out.
'I doubt it, she didn't come for you guys, what would change now?' I stated, stabbing the tray in a weak attempt to get food on the fork again.
"Well you're here and you were always the ba- shutting up now." Leon added a nervous chuckle before sucking in breath and presumably looking away from me.
"Oh yeah, anyone hear that there's going to be another now kid sometime?" Cindy asked, raising her voice slightly when she said another.
"Yeah, I hear he's going into that section that me and Yannah met in, you know um… the Blood dorms?" Cloud added.
"Well, then no duh it's been buzzing around, last person that came there was me, four years after you." Yannah gave a quizzical sound before pondering out loud, "I wonder why we know when someone is joining that cursed place then joining the normal dorms unless you happen to be the person's roomie."
"Probably because the people that go there attempted murder or the likes. We surprisingly don't get those that often, mostly over run by suicide kid's like Jay here." Cloud stated.
"Oh yeah, the dorm's, I keep hearing there is a difference between them, what is this difference?" I spoke up, joining the conversation, as well as changing it slightly.
"Well, the Blood dorm is the worse with the least amount of people, but they usually never come out either so… Shadow dorm is a step below it, Yannah went there after she left the Blood dorm, it's usually filled with people with large panic attacks and the likes, those kids are never allowed anything, tight security like the Blood dorms. The River Dorm is the next step down. Their security isn't that tight, about medium, it's possible for those patients to get out of this place, as for the Wind dorm and this Dorm, Shadow dorm is a rarity and Blood dorm is a never well get out of this place without going to any of the other dorms... The Wind Dorm has low security; it's for the kid's that are kind of insane and all. Thunder Dorm is for the kids that are no longer 'insane' and are pretty much free to go, which is why we pretty much have no security. It is possible to go backwards, like the kid that attempted murder is probably in Shadow or Blood. See, Thunder is lucky, we can pretty much do anything, allowed to bring crap in, as long as it's not… a 'risk'." Cloud explained, small burst of wind showing that he was moving his hands while he spoke.
"Yeah, personally, I think there should be no Thunder dorm." Yannah stated sourly.
'True." Cloud agreed off-handily.
"Oh yeah! Off topic- I have this new book; Mr. Feather gave it to me. Based on where I got it is just… awesome." Cindy said, her voice flooding with excitement.
"Oh please tell us what it is about; after all we have nothing better to do." Cloud said sarcastically.
"Shut it Cloud. Anyways, it's about..." I tuned her out, continuing my meal; I really didn't care about what 'the awesome book' was about. Not like I would ever read it.
"Oh! I we got lost in the wilderness, who would be the easiest to eat, me or Cloud?" Yannah suddenly piped up.
"What; are you two cannibals?" Holly asked.
"No! He just says I would be the easiest to eat because of my weight!" Yannah snapped.
"Could have fooled me." I grumbled, placing my fork on my tray then announcing, "Well, I will be back."
As I got up and walked away I picked up on their new conversation:
"Funny, he always leaves during dinner."
"Maybe he has a small bladder."
"My foster brother had that."
Cindy's P.O.V.
"Ooo… you dumped the camera in water…" Yannah commented dryly as the camera splashed into the half full sink.
"Shut it." I hissed, my hand quickly retrieving the soaked electronic.
"Well, there go tonight's plans… damn." Yannah gave an exaggerated sigh; amber eyes watching as I hurriedly dried it with my shirt.
"Well, it was only a quick dip so it should work. Hint should. Though if it doesn't, I'm just going to laugh my ass off if you start bawling your eye's out." Yannah rolled her eyes at me, quickly sticking her tongue out before responding with, "I would never cry over something so petty. It just amuses me and I like amusing things."
"Yeah, yeah. Now let's go. Cloud and Bright are probably waiting for us; maybe we should go get Jay as well…" I started to ramble off, not really caring whether any of it made sense.
"Stop your rambling already." Yannah snapped, snatching the camera from my hands and practically cuddling it.
'I don't know why you put it in the bathroom anyways!"" The one good thing about Yannah is that she understands me enough to know what I talk about… half the time anyways.
"Who on earth would look for a camera in the bathroom?" Yannah shot back, moving twice as fast down the hallway.
"You… obviously." I retorted, quickly following.
"So… he was in the boy's bathroom right?"
"You are correct."
"Huh, blind boy in the bathroom, I wonder if he ever walked into someone…" Yannah let her thoughts wonder slightly before caging them again inside her head.
"Ask him." I stated, waving my hand absentmindedly.
"Why on earth would I do that?" She stated, her tone voicing everything out.
"Because you're you. You wouldn't care if you walked in on someone showering let alone just asking someone if they ever walked into someone using the bathroom." I stated plainly.
"So…?"
"Never mind, you're worthless." I growled out, waving my hand in dismissal.
""I feel so hurt… and there's the boy's bathroom… that we're walking past…" Yannah left her sentence hanging, hesitantly following me.
"Yup."
"Poor Jay, Cindy no longer loves him."
"Never said I loved, hell I never said I LIKED him!"
"But you gotta love him! He's as cute... and friendly… as a teddy bear!"
"A teddy bear with claws." I grumbled.
"Claws? I was thinking more of a machine gun but those work as well."
"A machine gun? Really?"
"Yeah."
I gave a sigh, shaking my head lightly before continuing the epic journey to my room.
"Everyone's going to be in my room right?" I asked, just to make sure I was right to suspect it.
"Yep, I mean what would your room do without us? With you being the care taker it would more than likely burst into flames." Yannah replied, shrugging.
"Hey! I'm not the pyro here!" I complained, giving a pout.
"Okay, everyone beware… and! Start!" Yannah called, quickly pressing the play button and throwing herself on the floor.
"I'm half tempted to yell dog pile." I whispered to Cloud who just snickered silently, gazing at Yannah slightly, who was now turning over softly saying ow every few seconds.
(a/n Camera Normal)
"Is this thing even working?" A scowling face was shown on the small screen, blue eyes giving death glares at the screen that shook slightly.
"Hit it!"
"Shut it Yannah!"
"Make me asshole." Yannah snapped, a thin girl coming into view, her foot tripping the scowling boy before laughing, letting a maniacal grin spread across her features, long grey hair waving in the air slightly.
'Violent drunk." The boy grumbled crossly.
"Stuck up prissy." The girl snapped.
"I think you're talking about yourself thank you very much." The boy retorted, sticking his tongue out childishly.
Yannah just scowled, backing away, cocking her head to the side before exclaiming, "Jay! Drop the bottle, we're playin' Truth or Dare!"
The blue eyed boy slowly got, up eyes focusing on the screen once more, hands coming closer and the screen turned slightly, allowing you to see a dazed grey hair boy loosely grasping a bottle, a shit-eating grin wrapped around his facial features.
"Er-kay." Jay said giddily, dropping the bottle before leaning back.
"Don't sit on me!" Red haired female snapped, hitting the back of his head lightly.
"Oh! Sowy, won't happen again." The boy gave a sheepish smile her way before falling over on his side.
"Wow… Jay's a push over when he's drunk." Cloud stated blankly.
"Okay, I start first." Cindy called, shoving her way into the circle, short silver hair cupping her face, blue eyes shining. Her hand quickly twisted the bottle, eyes watching as it spun and spun and spun and… stopped. Her eyes lifted to see it was pointed at Yannah.
"Truth or Dare."
"Dare me."
"I dare you to lick… the…"She paused dramatically, " floor."
'If I get sick I am so blaming you two." Yannah scowled, completing the dare.
"And if we get sick it is sooo your fault." Cindy retorted.
Yannah shrugged before flicking the bottle, her other hand grabbing a can, tapping on the lid slightly before opening it. The bottle stopped, pointing towards Bright.
"Truth or Dare Mrs. Cloud?"
"Truth please." Bright stated, giving a small smile.
""If you could… would you kill Cloud?" Yannah asked.
"Sure…" Bright's amber gaze catching the pouting Cloud making her change her answer, "Not really sweetheart." She gave a smile, leaning over and giving the boys cheek a small kiss.
"Do that in your room will ya!" Scarlet stated in fake disgust.
Bright rolled her eyes before spinning the bottle. It landed on Babul.\
"Truth or Dare?"
"Dare."
"I dare you to admit your undeniable love to Scarlet." Bright gave a grin at the last part.
"Damn! And we could have kept that on him for ages!" Yannah shouted at the camera in dismay, giving a pout.
"You are a genius." Cloud whispered to Bright and I just rolled my eyes, watching as the brunette's cheeks flamed a slight pink as he 'admitted' his love to Scarlet whose own pinks were a light shade of pink, but then again she was also laughing her head off.
Babul spun the bottle, stopping at Jay.
"Truth or Dare lazy?"
"Truth…" Jay drawled, giving a small giggle/hiccup at the end.
"Are you really the 'baby' of your family?" He asked.
"Yeah~ youngest and blind…" Jay mumbled, giving a small grin, his hand blindly groping for the bottle before spinning it, saying, "Truth or dare…"
"Dare." Cloud said, his voice echoing in challenge.
"Change shirts with the person on your… left." Jay said.
Unfortunately for Cloud, his left was Bright who was wearing a blouse… which was pink.
The game passed quickly dares as awkward as kiss the person on your right to as humiliating as doing the chicken dance which was hard for Babul to do, whom was about smashed (because Cloud Jay and him had started the drinking contest) to truths as weird as 'if you would kill someone who would it be and how would you kill them' to as normal as 'who was your first boyfriend/girlfriend'.
They had a quick drinking game, Cindy getting a glass but getting cheated out of it by Jay, who had happily guzzled it down, still grinning.
At the time everyone was just chatting plainly, Cindy remembering the dare she was given when Scarlet asked her truth or dare and trying to fend off Jay who was trying to cheat her out of the last of can that everyone so 'kindly' gave her because she didn't have a sip of anything.
"C'mon! Cindy! Pwease!" Jay begged, giving a soft pout.
"No." Cindy snapped, waving him off.
"If you give it to me I will love you forever!" Jay continued, even going the drastic measure of attempting puppy eyes (which was an epic failure in Cindy's point of view).
"Fine, just stop bugging me." Cindy snapped, handing the beer over to Jay who just grinned, hugged her and quickly gulped down the drink before exclaiming, "I lurve you!"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah." Cindy stated, frowning slightly and folding her arms over her chest.
"I like Jay better when he's drunk, he literally is a big teddy bear." Yannah stated watching in amusement as the drunken Jay on the screen hugged random people as he finished his drink before the boy crawled into his bed.
"I don't." I stated crossly.
"Of course you wouldn't! He had you wrapped around his little finger." Cloud replied, giving a grin.
"Shut it." I grumbled at them.
Sorry for being late hehe...he…
Raven- Ravenpaw
Oh yeah Jay is a friendly drunk… just have to have a nice Jay somewhere ya-know?
I have a million excuses for being late but I'm not going to write them down expect a few like school, homework, and drawing… Anyways, since it is Christmas break 9and without school I have no life…) the next chapter should be up soon, and I'm thinking it is going to be longer than this one because it takes over an entire week of events,… but then again it's practically a filler… again, my sincere apologies… whatever they are worth XD enjoy :P
