From then on me and Candice just talked about random stuff. Like I learned that she is an only child, and that her mom died when she was ten, she had cancer. I thought maybe that is why she is in here but I dunno I think it goes deeper than that. She use to be a model before she came here... maybe she couldn't handle the pressure. I also learned that she's into cool cars like I am. I can tell we are going to get along just fine.

We talked for the next thirty minutes before she had to go because theoretically I'm in solitary confinement. So she gave me a light hug and then left me alone. But I have to admit I'm use too being alone in a small room, or in this case handcuffed to a bed. It feels just like being in a holding cell again. It's weird because the whole reason I'm here is to help keep me out of those cells, but yet here I am chained to a bed and unable to move either of my arms.

It wasnt that bad after a while, because after I finished eating breakfast I took a nap. I must have been out for a while because when I awoke there was a note taped to a brownie next to my left hand. It was rather difficult to open the note with one hand but I eventually got it open, it was a note from Candice that said;

Vic

I decided I would come by and see how you were doing but you were out cold and I didnt want to wake you. (You talk in your sleep... It's kind of cute LOL!) Anyways you missed Culinary today (it's one of the activity things they let us do around here. We cook a lot of different things there and today is dessert Friday so we made brownies today! I figured that I would bring you one. I hope you like it!

Always & Forever

Candice

Well that was nice of her to do that for me. But did she have to wrap it up in saran wrap, because there is no way in hell I will get this open with one hand. And I didn't know they had cooking classes here. I wonder what other things they have to do here. I guess this place might not be as bad as I thought, but I still don't want to be here. At least she left the TV on for me she even left the remote where I could reach it. When the hell are they going to uncuff me from this damn bed? I'm pretty sure this is illegal. I dunno but I can feel whatever they have me on wearing off because the pain is coming back, and I really have to pee. Great where are the nurses when you need one.

"Hey can somebody come help me use the bathroom?" I yelled and then waited nobody came so I yelled again. "Somebody come help me tinkle before I pee all over the bed then we all lose!" Finally when I yell that a nurse comes to help me.

"You called?" Asked a red headed female nurse who walked over towards me.

"Well it's about damn time! It's not nice to ignore your patients" I look at her name tag. " Christina! It doesn't matter anymore can you just uncuff me so I can pee because I'm about to piss myself, and find something to make my arm stop hurting?" I spoke.

"Well I can get you some ice, and I gotta find somebody with a key to uncuff you." She smiled.

"Ok well can you make it quick?"

"I will try my best!" And with that she left. I hope she doesn't take forever to find a key. After about three minutes surprisingly Candice walks in smiling widely. I would rather it be the nurse lady, but I guess it's always nice to see her too though.

"Hey I see you're up now." She smiled

"Yea, on your way here did you happen to see a red headed nurse about 5'5 named Christina?" I asked looking past her watching the door.

"Oh you mean Christy! Yea she was really nice I liked her, sometimes she would sing for us. She had her own little band and somtimes they play at the parties we had on special occasions and things like that." She said still smiling

"Yea have you seen her? She is supposed to be helping me use the bathroom and ice my shoulder." I sigh

"Oh well this is awkward..." She trailed off wearily

"What do you mean?"

"Well ummm... Christy died about two months ago... There was a crazed meth addict that escaped from the detox center and was going all crazy. You know because he wanted more meth and so when she wouldn't give him any he ahh... he umm... hit her on the head with one of those metal legs from a table he broke. He swung so hard it bashed her skull in." She cried a little bit, but all it did was make me panic.

"Wait so your telling me Christy has been dead for two months?!" I question wearily

"Yea she was my favorite nurse. I miss her sometimes." She sniffled. Wait so if she technically doesn't work here anymore, then who the hell was that who came to help me?

"Oh hell no! Candice I think I saw her ghost... Ahhh fuck help me out of this restraint!" I panic pulling on the handcuff that is attached to the bed. My heart is beating so fast it isn't even funny. There is no way in hell I'm staying in this murder clinic. And Candice is just standing there laughing.

"Sorry I took so long I decide to talk Shelby into just leaving you uncuffed-" stated Christy's ghost as it walked back in.

"AHHH OH GOD CANDICE HELP ME! IT'S BACK AND IT'S GOING TO KILL ME! STOP STANDING THERE AND HELP ME! CANDICE HELP ME!" I scream out in terror while Candice is just laughing her ass off.

"Damn it Candice did you tell this one about how I 'died' again?" She pouted while Candice fell face first on my bed dying in laughter. "Damn it Candice this is the third time you've done this!"

"Wait so you aren't a ghost?" I whisper scared

"No I'm just as alive as you are. It's just Candice over there thinks it's funny to tell people that I died here and so when I talk to them they think it's my ghost." She said shaking her head at Candi who was holding her ribs and crying from all the laughter.

"Well thanks alot Candice, now because of you Christy here now has to find me a new set of clothes to wear because these ones are ruined." I growled only to have Candice's eyes grow wide before she burst out into an even deeper laugh to the point where she is gasping for air.

"That's nice! Thanks Candice!" Christy said sarcastically. As she uncuffed me from the bed and handed me an ice pack. "Umm just stay here I'll be back." She said as she walked away. I just sat there now I'm pretty mad. Candice then finally stops laughing and looks at me.

"I'm so sorry, but you can't tell me that wasnt funny!" She chuckled I only glared at her.

"Yea because being scared half to death is fucking hilarious to me." I growl as I put the icepack on my shoulder.

"Well I didn't know you would pee your pants!" She laughed

"Oh yeah laugh it up now because I promise I will get you back just you wait." I spoke

"I'm sorry I couldn't help myself. Forgive me?" She pouted

"I like you Candice, but I don't have to like you right now." I sigh as I look away from her.

"That's understandable... Anyways today is Friday so that means they are going to play a movie in the group room after dinner. They are playing The Women in Black tonight you know with the Harry Potter guy it. And I was wondering if maybe you wanted to go watch it with me?" She asked hopefully.

"Well I don't know are you just going to scare me again?" I ask as I look at her.

"No I promise not to scare you anymore... At least for today." She smiled. After that Christy came back with a new set of clothing for me to wear.

"Alrighty here you go. Do you need any help getting into the shower or can you handle it?" She asked as she set the clothes down on the edge of the bed.

"Umm I think I can do it myself... But you should probably stay close just in case." I said as I started to get off the bed and began to walk towards the bathroom. "and as for my answer Candice, I will let you know later." I smirk and wink at her before I closed the bathroom door.

It was actually a lot harder to undress and shower yourself with one hand. I now feel the struggle of those with one or no hands. It was not an easy task to accomplish but I did it. The hot water did help soothe my shoulder a little bit but it still hurts when I move it. Maybe next time I try to escape I shouldn't do it in broad daylight, but I think I'm starting to like this place. It isn't all that bad but I would still rather be at home. Then again I actually like Randy and Candice they are pretty cool and they like me too. So maybe I won't die in here but it is going to be interesting for the next couple months.

When I finished my shower Christy helped me put my sling back on but other than that I was fine. When I finished it was a little past seven so I decided to go get something to eat. Ideally that would be an easy task, but unlike everybody else I was never given the entire tour of the place so I don't know where to go. But that's ok I like exploring new places, that and I need to find a phone to make a call. So I got up and left my room in search of a phone and dining hall.

So I begin walking down the hall and presto there is a row of pay phones. But I need a quarter to use it. I'm pretty sure they will let's make one free call like they do in jail since this place practically is a jail. Now where to find a quarter so I can... Wait what am I saying I don't need a quarter I just need to find two hair pins. Hopefully they put one in my bag.

So I walked back to my room and looked in my bag. And would you look at that I guess they do love me because there is about ten bucks in cash and my debit card with a few coins in my wallet. How nice of them to give me money but that doesn't matter I just need a quarter and to my luck there is one. I then walk back over to the telephones and dialed the number I know by heart now. And I wait until someone picked up.

"Hello?"

"Hey it's me!"

I'm sorry if this is shorter than the other chapters i dunno. I just have a lot of schoolwork to do So I don't fail in life. I'm not scared of ghost but I just thought it was funny... Until next time Honey is the only food that doesn't rot- Joz
