Sam sighed as she sat down on the white tile floor. There's one good thing about this place, she thought. You have lots of time to think. She looked up as the door slammed and deafening silence followed. Sam thought back to earlier that day…
"You know what this means" Kate said sternly, and Sam nodded. Kate motioned to the guard standing by the door.
"Isolation. One Day." She told him. Sam was rushed down the sickly yellow hallway and back to her room. The guard patted her down, but found no contraband on her person so he rushed her down the long hallway and into a small, white room. She pulled away from the guard, slid down the wall onto the floor, and listened to the door slam as he walked out.
Isolation. Same was so familiar with this word, she had been before she ever came here. She was also familiar with the rooms that were blindingly white. She pushed herself off of the floor and kicked the wall. All I want to do is see Allie, she thought. Why can't my parents understand that? Instead of listening to me, the threw me away like a broken toy, the toy that no one wanted anymore. They locked me up here. They put me here so that the "nice" doctors can cure my "disease". I'm not sick, I'm in love. Sam pounded both fists into the pristinely white wall.
The door opened and Kate slipped inside.
"I came in here to talk to you, Sam. Can we talk about what happened today?"
"No. You already know why I'm here."
"Perhaps you'd like some more time to think about this?" Sam could take it anymore, something inside of her snapped.
"All I can do in this place is think! I didn't try to kill myself, I don't cut or anything! Nothing is wrong with me!"
"Your parents thought this would be for the best." Kate said a bit too calmly for Sam's liking.
"I hate them! Love is not a crime. But they locked me up like an animal in the zoo. Oh, come look at the freak kiss her girlfriend!!"
"I think you need some more time to think… maybe calm down a little. Dinner will be in at 6."
