Okay there will be a sequel I promise! I want to thank all of the readers for this story! I'll post the reviewers of this story at the bottom of the page! This chapter explains more of the story! Yay... It's a long chapter!
I panicked when I saw the floor. It was the blood innocent people that were killed just because I made a mistake. I shut the flash light off so I didn't have to look at it anymore. The van came to a loud screech and to doors swung open. Two of the nurses I had seen at the mental hospital grabbed me and followed Dr. Marly.
" I don't expect much from you Ponyboy. Just say how happy you are."
" I won't lie for you!" I hissed in pain when a nurse tightened her grip in me. It caused her long fake nails to did into my skin. She only smirked when she realized what happened and tightened her grip even more.
" Really I wasn't prepared for this!" The doctor said sarcastically. He opened the back doors of the mental hospital.
" What are you going to do?" I asked.
" Do you remember the little girl who hung herself?"
" Yea I do! I know you killed her with the medicine that is killing me. Ellie was going home soon and you killed her to see if you could make money! Your a monster"
" Good you already know the truth! So I don't have to tell you part of the story!"
" Only part?" I asked, very confused. What else did they do to her? I still remember her perfectly. She was a small brunette with big deep blue eye like the sea. Her father left when she was three. Her mother barely take care of her. Ellie was sweet and only wanted to be loved. She developed Anorexia because people began to call her a fat whore. Her mother sent her here when she found Ellie puking up her food. I felt really bad for Ellie. Her life must have been way harder than mine.
" You see we gave her the chance that you got. But she refused and I doubled the dose, killing her."
" I don't care if you kill me!" I screamed. I was starting to get angry and the nurses could tell. I felt blood run down my arm from one of the nurses nails.
" I knew you would say that but what about your roommate? Isn't his name Kyle?"
" Don't you dare do anything to him!" Even though Kyle was weird, He still was a nice guy. He was way older than me, 25 years old. He checked himself in to this mental hospital surprisingly. He had jet black hair and stormy grey eyes. He also was very tall. I remembered he told me once he played basketball in high school. He got a scholarship for college but refused when his girlfriend convinced him to move in with her. It was just a trick though. She was cheating on him with another man. The man wanted to kill Kyle, and he nearly did. Luckily for Kyle, his Dad came just in time to drop off his things. Kyle wasn't just messed up physically, it was also mentally. He now walked with a slight limp and can't see out of one eye. But mentally he couldn't trust anyone. He'd freak out whenever someone new came up to him. I heard him late at night talking to himself. At first I thought he was sleeping till I saw he was fully sitting up, holding his head with his hands. I knew his life had been way harder than mine.
" Well he might accidentally escape and never be found again!" The doctor laughed. He led the nurses to some room that I recognized to be the shower.
" Dorothea Dix would shame us!" One nurse giggled.
" Who cares what a old lady thinks? She is already dead!" The other nurse with the nails groaned.
" Who is that?" I asked as they shoved me into the shower. One grabbed a hose and I gulped at what was going to happen next.
" I thought you were a smart kid!" Dr. Marly spat," Guess you didn't listen in class. She was a civil war nurse who started the first generation of mental asylums!"
" I kind of admire her. Take off your clothes kid unless you want those wet." The nurse who had the hose said. I took off most of my clothes but left on my underwear. I didn't like being naked in front of anyone, not even around my brothers.
" Why do you admire her?" Dr. Marly asked.
" Because without her we may not be having this fun!" she laughed and turned the hose on. The water was as cold as ice when it hit me. By the time they were done I felt like a human popsicle.
" Come on Ponyboy," Dr. Marly threw a towel at me, " After you get dressed we have to leave to the place we are meeting the doctors." A new nurse brought in some clothes. They were soc clothes and I despised them. I still put them on. Dr. Marly led me to the car he took me to my brothers in. It seemed cleaner this time. But as I got into the backseat I realized it was still uncomfortable. The car ride wasn't that long. It took about an hour to get to Oklahoma City. It reminded me of Tulsa but way bigger. We stopped at this tall building surrounded by trees. When I stepped in I realized how nervous I was. I still was kinda dizzy but it wasn't as bad as this morning. The doctor talked to the receptionist for a second and she told him to go to the top floor to room 507. We stepped into the elevator. I got even more nervous because nobody was in it but me and Dr. Marly.
" Ponyboy you better do what I told you to okay?" Dr. Marly pinned me to the an elevator wall," Or all you love will be... exterminated alright?" I wasn't able to talk out of fear so I just nodded. He let go of me when the door opened on the fifth floor. We walked into room 509 and I was happy to see that there was other patients, not just doctors. The doctor and I sat down the seats that had our name on it.
" Dr. Marly!" An old man shook the doctor's hand," So nice to see you and this Ponyboy?"
" Yes it is!" the doctor grinned," Funny name isn't it?"
" It sure is!" The old man turned to me," Hi Ponyboy! My name is Dr. Del Zotto!"
" Hi..." I shyly mumbled.
" Not much of a talker eh? How old are you?"
" 14 years old." Dr. Del Zotto frowned at this.
" Dr. Marly isn't it sad when a young kid loses his mind?"
" It sure is... That's why I am trying to help him. I don't want him to end up like his best friend Ellie..."
My best friend? We only hung out because everyone was older than us. I wouldn't call her my best friend.
" Well why don't you start off the meeting! I heard you found a cure for depression!"
" Sure did!" Dr. Marly stood up and walked to the front of the room," Ladies and gentlemen may I have your attention please?"
Every one went silent. I expected this to be like school were the speaker had to ask multiple times for everyone to get quiet.
" Dr. Del Zotto has asked me to start and I am very happy to do so! As you all know teen depression is a growing problem. Some symptoms are difficulty concentrating and making decisions. Some may have Excessive or inappropriate guilt. They might withdraw themselves from there friends. Teens might find themselves sleeping during the day and stay up all night. Sadness, anxiety, or a feeling of being hopeless is common. Its not a great experience for the teen and those around him or her. That's why I created a drug that stimulates the part of brain that controls emotions. The drug tricks the brain to thinking it is happy-"
" Does it have any negative effects on the brain?" A female doctor stood up. I wanted to scream out yes but I didn't have the courage to.
" None showed up in my patient Ponyboy Curtis. He has made a significant improvement-"
" No I haven't!" I finally yelled," Dr. Marly is lying!" I knew everyone was staring at me but I didn't care anymore.
" What are you talking about?"
" Did he have his medicine today?"
" He is obviously crazy."
" Even ask my brothers! The only reason I came was because he threatened to hurt them!" This was my only chance to make things right. Either I get some guts or be responsible for hundreds of deaths.
" Is this true Dr. Marly?"
" I can't believe it!"
" He must be lying."
" The drug is like poison! Every time I have to take it I always get sick. In fact it makes me feel worse not better!" I had to make them all believe.
" Why weren't we informed of this ?"
" Get off the stage!"
" I will not give the medicine to any off my patients!"
" He even killed a girl just because she refused to lie for him." I found more courage as they began to believe me. Maybe I had a chance!
" Are you talking about Ellie?"
" Somebody call the cops on Dr. Marly!"
" Look he is running away!"
I ran out the door after the doctor. I was growing tired quickly but I ignored it. The other doctors followed behind us. Dr. Marly stopped up on the roof.
" Couldn't just let me be happy huh kid?" The doctor growled.
" No..." I realized I had no energy left and fell down. Well this didn't go as planned...
" What? Too tired?" Dr. Marly taunted.
" Stop right there Dr. Marly! We have called the cops! Surrender now and leave the poor boy alone!" I heard Dr. Del Zotto yelled behind me.
" Fine! I got caught and have to pay the price..." Was Dr. Marly really giving up that easily?
" But I don't think I want too-" the doctor was cut off by someone shooting him. Had the cops already got here? No that's too quick...
" Are you alright Ponyboy?" Dr. Del Zotto asked and I realized he had the gun," Think you can stand?"
" Y-yeah." i stuttered as I tried to get up. I looked at Dr. Marly and instantly regretted it. Blood was forming in a small pool around him.
" Good lets get you to a real hospital."
" No!" I shrieked. It will all just happen again!
" Ponyboy get back here!" Dr. Del Zotto tried to stop me. He was too late thought. I had already jumped and fell into what I hoped to be death.
Did I just kill Ponyboy?
