“So then, what’s your name?” The girl from across the ward asked throwing another chocy into my
lap which I discreetly placed onto my
bedside table, I would try to eat it but later but Sophie was now screaming at
me like I had just murdered her cat and there was no way I could cope with her
getting any louder.
“Mia, but everyone
calls me Mi.” I said pressing
the button in the middle of the frustration board and moving my token as a distraction
from the screaming, for now I was strong, for now I would not let Sophie win.
“I’m summer by the way. You came in a few days
after me. I’m 16 how about
you?”
“15, 16 soon.”
“You’re from there aren’t
you?” Summer said
looking at the floor next to me my bed,” Apple gate house?” My throat instantly clammed up and I felt sick
as Sophie roared with piercing laughter.
So this was what her apparent friendship was all about. I was the main
new attraction in a freak show and showing me some kindness like a normal human,
was just a way to get up close and personal with the freak. My eyes spotted
over with tears and I instantly got angry with myself. I always wasted my tears
these days.
“Oh no, It’s OK.” Summer said noticing my begging look at Jean to do something. “I mean if it mattered do you think I would
still be sitting here and playing a game with you after you slit your wrists on the ward. I just wanted to know what it was
like in there.”
“If you want to
take the piss out of me summer just do it and go away. “ I moaned quietly to myself scratching at the
bandage on my arm. Jean leant over the bed and pulled my hand away causing my
humiliation to take me further; did she have to be so obvious?
Why would I take
the piss out of you Mi? I am being admitted there tomorrow it will just be good
to have one friend while I am there.”
