Stories From Therapy

I woke up back in my bed, with a pain in my neck from last nights incidence. "Hey sleepy head! Breakfast time is going to be in an hour." My roommate said, trying to smile at me, but I could see the fear in her eyes. She's been my room mate for about a month now, even though she has been here for a year. My old roommate got too scared from my night terrors, so they had poor Linda switch rooms with her. She already knows that I'm a ticking time bomb. I could have another incident at any moment. I just nodded my head in acknowledgement. I have been mute for five years now. I only talk to certain hospital staff and Constantin. Even then, that's if I REALLY need something. I got up, changing into my black KISS sweatshirt and black sweatpants. Your not aloud to wear makeup in the hospital, so I just walked out into the common room. Of course, Laura was already up. I just walked past her and to my windowsill that is right next to a wall, making a corner for me to sit in and look out at the busy street below for hours. "Well! Thanks for waking us all up last night, Crazy! You probably woke up half the hospital with your screeching." Laura sneered at me. "Oh shut the fuck up Laura! Can't you tell the poor girl has had a bad night!" A deep Romanian accented voice came from down the hall as Constantin walked into the room. Thank god! "How are you feeling today Aurora? Are you feeling any better?" He asked as he walked up to me, crouching in front of me. I smiled slightly, showing that I was a little better. "What's going on?" I heard a deep voice that I didn't recognize. I looked up, past Constantin to see a tall, thin boy standing behind him. He had medium length, black hair that went to his shoulders, piercing blue eyes, and an Alkaline Trio tattoo. I couldn't help but stare at him for a few minutes. "Hey, your the girl from last night! Are you okay?" He asked, crouching next to Constantin. "Um. Who are you?" Constantin asked, the protective side of him coming out. "Oh, I'm sorry. My name's Andy. Andy Biersack. I was just checked in last night. I saw her getting dragged somewhere while she was screaming last night while I was getting my room assigned to me. I was kinda worried about her." He explained. I could feel the blush spreading across my face. Oh yeah! He's the guy from last night! "Great. Another emo freak. You know, if you don't want people to think that your "culture" is just a bunch of suicidal bitches, you shouldn't act suicidal!" Linda piped up in the background. "Watch it Linda, before you get your ass kicked! I don't give a shit that your a girl!" Constantin growled. "Okay! Okay! Settle down everyone! It's breakfast time.!" A nurse said, not wanting to have to break up another fight that involved Constantin. Andy looked at me and smiled. "Come on! Let's go get some food!" He said, offering his hand. I hesitantly took it, getting up and walking over to where everyone else was.
