I Am Not Insane

I wake up on the floor and groan softly. Last night was terrible. They wouldn't stop screaming. I scratched my face a little but didn't get to do to much damage because I passed out. I get up and go look in the mirror. Ouch.. 'You're so ugly..' I growl and punch the mirror, the glass shattering as I scream. Someone runs in and I turn to see Andrew. The voices disappear and I run to him and hug him tightly, sobbing softly. A few minutes later, I've calmed down enough to let Andrew pick me up and place me on my bed. I lay down and he sits up next to me. I look up at him and he examines my scratches. "Did you do this to yourself?" He asks. I nod and look down as I hear him sigh. I look back up and he isn't there but walking to the bathroom. He comes back with a box that has stuff to clean boo boos with. He fixes up my hand then my face. He walks back to the bathroom to put the stuff up and I smile as he comes back out. He sits next to me again and breaks the silence. "Do the Voices insult you?" I freeze. I hate when people ask me about the Voices. I answer anyway. "Yeah.. Sometimes.." I whisper and shrug. "You need to take a shower." He says. What? Where did that come from? Do I stink? "Okay.." I whisper and get up. I go into the bathroom with some clothes and take a quick shower, not listening to the Voices' screams. I hop out, get dressed, then exit the bathroom to see Andrew playing on his phone. "Done.." I mumble and he looks up, nods, then looks back down. "Can I have a tour of the place?" I ask. He puts his phone up stands and nods as he walks out and waits for me. I follow behind closely. He shows me the laundry room, the crazy room, the kitchen, the cafeteria, and then a place where 'sane enough people' can hang out. He finished up and looks at my with a smile. "Your eyes look weird." He says playfully. I sigh and look down. "But they look beautiful." He states and I blush as we head back to my room. Maybe this place won't be so bad...
