Brittany's POV

After finding out Dani was the girl I was sharing my room with, I decided not to get a single room. This was perfect. I don't have to look for her room or anything now, she's right here. It was nearly bedtime and we had just eaten our "night snack" which was a half sandwich and apple wedges. The only annoying thing about being in the same room with Dani was that obviously, she was a very social person and so was I, but she's the last person I'd want to have a conversion with.. Sometimes I was forced to so she wouldn't think I was hiding something. After we had been sitting in the entertainment room for around 30 minutes the nurses said we had to go and sleep or read in our rooms. There was only one nurse I actually liked, she was really nice and she didn't talk to me like I was some lunatic.

Inside the room, while sitting on the uncomfortable bed, I picked a book out of the drawer and started reading.

"What's this?" Dani said and dragged the book out of my hands.

"Can I get the book back, please?"

"Why are you reading? You won't need that in here" she said and put it back in the drawer.

I didn't say anything, I was too tired to care about her. I leaned my head on the pillow and turned the lamp on my side off and closed my eyes. I figured it's better to sleep than spend time with Dani.

"Hey, Brittany.. Was that your name?"

"You know it is" I said.

"You're right. Now tell me, did you really think through this?"

I instantly opened my eyes and clicked on the button that turns the light on again and sat up on the bed. She just sat there, on her bed looking crazily happy.

"Think what through?" I asked.

"Do you think I'm stupid? I may be mental, but I'm not stupid, Barbie"

"I don't understand what you're talking about" I said.

"You put yourself in here to get back at me? Please.. You couldn't hurt a fly without feeling bad, am I right?"

I looked at her with so much rage in my eyes. She really underestimates me.

"You're wrong" I said and looked away at the window.

"You know, getting in here is easy. But there's no way out.. Unless you die" she said and started laughing. Even her laugh annoyed me at this point.

"They'll let me out when I feel better" I said.

"They won't. Talk to Georgia, she's been here for almost 20 years, she got in when she was 19 and she's 39 next month, she's not even sick anymore. It's just that according to them, mental people never get better. Once you get in, you never get out" She said and laughed again, as if she was messing with me.

"Yeah right. Can you let me go to sleep now?"

"As long as you believe me. You've made a big mistake.. Poor Brittany, wanting to avenge me"

"Whatever you think Dani" I said and laid down again.

She finally stopped talking. I could close my eyes and just relax. Think. I heard her turn her light off too and she let out a loud sigh. If I listened closely, the sound of nurses walking around the halls could be heard. I could hear the sound of someone snoring, probably from some of the rooms just behind one of the walls.

My mind was a mess right now. What if she was right? What if I was stuck in here forever... Did I think this through, I circled the worst answers possible.. They'll think I'm 100% mentally disturbed. Although Dani isn't the best person to rely on, I think she might be right, that woman who's been here for around 20 years explains a lot. What have I done.

Snap out of it. You won't be here forever, I thought to myself. If I was in here for more than two months, I'd ask for a phone call and call Rachel, she's probably asking around about me everywhere but can't find me. It's okay though, for now. However, I would tell her about everything and ask her to help me. There, I have a plan B now. I puffed out and hoped it would work. I looked over at Dani's bed before shutting my eyes, she was sleeping. Good. Tomorrow night, I'll start.


"Hey Dani, you were right.." I said when she walked into the room the next morning.

"I always am. About what though?"

"I forced my way in here.. To get back on you" I said and looked down. Almost embarrassed.

"I know, why are you telling me this?"

"I figured that you don't deserve to be punished. You're stuck in here, that's enough" I said and looked up on her.

Her face blushed and she looked down at her feet and crossed her legs on the bed. She looked a bit confused, maybe because I was so nice to her. I don't know.

"Are you being honest right now?" she asked after taking a deep breath.

"Of course I am" I said.

"Good, you finally understand.. Santana deserved what she got, right?"

She looked at me without a smile or anything, it was like she wanted me to say yes so she wouldn't feel bad about what she did. It was like she had a heart, but she was afraid of using it. With all my anger pushed aside, pretending what she just said didn't get to me, I swallowed a big lump in my throat and cleared it.

"Yes, yes she did" I lied and looked at her again.

She smiled at me and her whole face lit up. The only way to do this right was to get her to like me, we needed to be friends in order for this to work. I laid down on the bed and smiled up at the roof when I actually just wanted to get up and punch her dead. How could she even say Santana deserved all of that? I don't understand. I could feel her eyes glaring at me, she didn't stop either but I didn't look her way. I tried to clear my head, I started to plan.. The first move is accomplished, I started to gain her trust. That's what important for now.

The rest of the day was the usual, entertainment room, lunch and we could go outside today, to the mental hospitals private park if we wanted and then dinner. We had fish for dinner, it wasn't my favorite but still, I had no choice. I sat on the bed and waited for Dani to come in, she would talk a little bit and then probably fall asleep. When I'm 100% sure she's not awake, I will get her.

Although I tried really hard, my mind wouldn't let go of Santana. I wonder if she's up or if she's still in a coma.. I just really, really wish she's okay. I looked down at my feet and my heart started feeling warm, I felt like bursting into tears and have someone hold me, promise me it would all work out. That Santana would be okay and that I'll be out of here soon, when I tell the dean I'm okay. The fact that this room had such dark colors didn't make me feel better, everyone knows I'm more of a colorful girl.. Grey and black weren't really my favorite colors in rooms. Right in the middle of my deep thoughts Dani walked into the room.

"Hey Blondie" she said.

"I would like it if you could stop calling me that" I said.

"I thought we were friends, I show my affection to my friends by insulting them" she said and stood by the window and smiled at me.

"Okay, if that's the case" I said and tried not to sound too cold.

She walked over to her bed and laid down.. Hopefully, she would stop talking and fall asleep soon.

"How come we never hang out outside the room?"

"I never see you" I answered her.

"Oh yeah, I'm always where you least expect me to be" she said and giggled "we'll hang out tomorrow, okay? You're like the only cool person around here, even though I don't like you" she added to her sentence.

She shows her affection to friends by insulting them, that must mean she likes me.

"Deal" I said and let out a laugh.

"Girls" someone said and knocked on the door "I can see that your light is on, turn it off and go to sleep" she said. It was Amanda's voice, the only nurse I liked.

"That fucking bitch, I swear to God.. One of these days" Dani mumbled about Amanda.

I ignored her, she had to go sleep now. I couldn't wait much longer.

"Goodnight, Dani" I said and turned the light off.
