Alex was only in the hospital for two days so far and things seemed pretty quiet. She got along with her roommate, Kristen Black, turns out she's the little sister of Jacob Black, Bella used to hang out with him when they were little. They would make mud pies and throw them at her. Wasn't fun. Anyway, things were pretty quiet.

She hadn't yet seen Doctor Gardez but she knew she would see her soon. Alex was sitting on her bed at the moment, writing in her journal just as Kristen was reading Alice in Wonderland, her favourite book when we heard a car door slam shut outside. Alex put down her pencil and looked at Kristen just as she put down her book and looked outside. Alex followed suit and looked out to a girl with long blonde hair, "Guess they found her." Kristen murmured quietly and sat back down, staring at the book as if she was trying to burn a hole in it.

"Who's she?" Alex asked, looking as they brought her inside.

"Uh, that's Lisa. She ran away but they found her. They always do."

Alex sat on the bed and furrowed her eyebrows then got up as she heard noises coming from the opened the door and looked out, noticing all the other girls had too.

Lisa threw off her jacket and flung it at one of the nurse's and put her arms in the air, "Good to be home!" She exclaimed and then proceeded to say hello to everyone. Alex then saw Val look down at her, just as Lisa did and glared at the new girl.

She quickly shut the door and went to her bed but before she could sit down Lisa came in, locking the door with a chair, "Where's Jamie?" She asked her but she looked at her, not knowing what to say. She then pulled the girls hair and pushed her into a corner, "Where the hell is Jamie?" She asked her again.

Alex shrugged, "I don't know, I-" She started and looked at Kristen who was covering her ears and swaying forwards and back.

Lisa took Alex's hair into her fist and pulled, "Wrong answer, now where's Jamie?!" She yelled in her face.
Alex was about to say something but Val had already busted into the door, "Jamie's not here anymore, Lisa! She's gone. Let her go!"

Lisa didn't listen but just continued to glare at Alex before the nurses got a hold of Lisa and pulled her out of Kristen's and Alex's room. Alex looked out into the hall as they tried to stop Lisa from kicking and biting them but it wasn't helping. Val said something to another nurse and that soon got Lisa to calm down, she now had panic written on her face, "No! NO! Val, please no!" They didn't listen to her and when Val went to inject her with something she tried to break free. Which didn't happen. Val had injected her with the liquid in the syringe and it almost took immediate effect as Lisa went limp, almost sleeping.

Alex bit her lip and walked inside the room, closing the door and looked at Kristen, "Who's Jaime?"

At that point, a girl came in with burn marks on her face, almost like something you'd see in a horror movie and Alex remembered when Lisa came in she had called this girl 'Torch.' Torch looked at Alex as Kristen uncovered her ears, "Jaime was Lisa's best friend. When Lisa ran away Jaime got really upset and so she hung herself with a vollyball net." She said in the most sweetest and innocent voice ever, which made her explanation a bit more creepy and horrifying.

Alex nodded but said nothing as she looked between Kristen and Torch. After a few minutes of getting to know Torch it was time for bed. Ten-thirty. How bad is that? It's unhuman. Alex would never sleep for that time, and so she wondered if that's why the nurse's gave them sleeping tablets which worked like a dream. Until Alex woke up as a nurse came in whispering, "Checks." Then walked back out.

Alex turned over onto her side and looked at her roommate, "Kristen? Kristen?" She whispered as the tan skinned girl moaned in her sleep and finally opened her eyes to look at her, "Why do they do that?"
"It's just checks." She closed her eyes again, "To make sure you haven't strung yourself up on the ceiling." She shrugged as if it were a normal everyday thing to say.

"That girl, Torch, how did she get... You know?" She pointed to the left side of her face.

Kristen smiled, "Well, when she was seven years old her mother told her that she had to get rid of her puppy because it was giving her a rash. Torch didn't want her puppy to go so one day she got her father's gasoline and poured it all over her where she had the rashes, then... She lit a match." She shrugged once again.

Alex nodded, looking to the floor feeling bad for her, "Oh." She then looked back at her roommate, "And you? Why are you in here?"

"I'm a pathological liar." She grinned as if she were proud of her illness.

Alex smiled halfheartily and nodded, finally going back to sleep.
