I awoke from a nightmare and hurried to the bathroom. "Dammit." I mutter and lean my head back onto the tub. I wait for the nausea to pass. "No point in sleeping now." I mutter and walk out to grab my phone. Luckily I don't throw up anymore and I blink awake. I stretch and stand up from the tile floor and walk into my room.
"NOON." I hear someone screech. "Rose Damien in alright, he is just a bit sick." I hear another voice. God the world was so blurry. I swayed a bit and collapsed on the floor. "How long has it been since he has had food after he threw up?" I hear Roberts ask and I tried to lift my head. "Uhh I don't really know." Nole answered and I moved a bit.
"Where am I?" I ask confused and disoriented. "Hey, just keep your hea-" He get's interrupted by me throwing up. Nole grabs my hair and lifts it from my face. "Damien.." He murmurs softly. I fall back onto his chest,exhausted. "Here." Roberts says and hands me a bottle of the liquid. "Wait if he's sick shouldn't we wait?" Nole asks.
"He isn't sick. It's his body telling us something isn't right. Or he's having nightmares. Probably both. The trauma of what he sees causes his body to react terribly." Roberts explains quickly and shines a light in my eyes. "Good, he doesn't have a concussion." Roberts says to Nole and I close my eyes.
"Hey, stay awake ok." Nole says and picks me up. "Sleep.." I murmur and Roberts sighs. "Give him the coffee." I groaned as Nole poured small amounts of coffee into my mouth. I tried to spit it out but he made sure I didn't. "Ok I got some in him." Nole said and I started to feel more awake.
I try and wriggle out of his grasp but his arms keep a firm hold on me. "LET ME GO." I scream and he winces at my voice. "No." He shuts me up effectively. I sigh and lean into his chest. He puts me on the hospital bed and watches me play on my phone. I still don't know where I am. I bite my lip in worry.
"Is Mr.Byrd ok?" A doctor asked poking his head in. My head shoots up and I pale. "Shit." I mutter and climb out of the bed quickly. Nole tries to grab my arm but I just push him away. I pull on my sweatshirt and run. I hear yelling for someone to stop me. I fly through the stairs and crash into my parents. I scramble backwards and take off running again.
There is yelling and confusion as Nole and Roberts rush after me, my parents and doctors following me. I run through the streets and duck into an alleyway. I gasp for a breath and pull of my sweatshirt. I have on my tank top and shirts. I stare at my feet. They are bloodied and have rocks sticking to them.
"God dammit." I mutter a few minutes later when I hear people calling my name. I look around and jump up to the ladder. My hand barely catches the side but I quickly pick my body up and clamber to the roof. "HE'S UP THERE." I hear a shout. I run across it and flip to the next one. "Yes." I mumble smiling. I see the gym a few roofs across.
I quickly make my way across the roof's, tearing my body up more. I climb down the stairs and lock the back door to the gym. Nico looks up confused. There were lots of kids so they didn't really notice the door slamming. "DAMIEN." He says and I dive into the foam pit after seeing people going to the doors.
"Damien what are you doing?" He asks quietly. Jamie comes over and Trent flips in next to me. "Damien you need a doctor." Jamie mutters and grabs my arms, pulling me out. "Shit I need to hide." I say and they nod. Thank god I grew up with them and they trust me. We go into the office and lock the door, pulling the blinds.
"Ok so what did you do this time?" Nico asks after I flop on the couch. "Uhh I ran away from the hospital." I say and they nod. "Ok, won't ask why. So I saw your routine the other day." Jamie prompted and I smiled. "Yeah I think I did alright." I would practice after school and weekends. I always alerted Roberts.
The gym has the pool I practice in across form it so I got some swimming in too. "Shit." I mutter when there is a bang on the door. "YES?" Jamie asks and peeks through the blinds. "HE'S IN THERE." I hear someone yell and I notice the closet door. "It leads outside.." Trent whispers and I nod. I quickly and quietly get into it. I find the door and step out into the sunlight.
"Noowww, where to next..." I mumble. I hear yelling from the gym and I speed away. I trip over a twig or some shit like that and fall on my face. "Good lord are you ok?" Aaron says standing over me. "SHIT." I yell startled and go to run. He pins my arms to my side and pulls me to the gym. "HE'S HERE." Aaron yells and I try to smack him.
"DAMIEN." I hear a very familiar voice yell. "Shit." I mutter and Nole takes me away from Aaron and holds me close to his chest. Roberts runs over and sticks a needle in my arm. The last thing I see is my parents disappointed faces.
"Daddy look. I made a flower." I say and he smiles. "Make 1000 paper cranes and then you can make a wish." I giggle and start to make them. Over the years they start to collect and build up. "Dad?" I ask confused as he grabs them and puts them into the fire. "DAD." I scream and desperately try to stop him. "STUPID CHILD." He bellows and throws me across the room.
"Dami look." Jack says showing me a paper crane. I nod and stare out the window. "Cool." I mutter. Another year passes and he brings a friend over. "This is Robin." Jack says and introduces us. I smile and go back to drawing. "I LOVE YOU." Robin screamed to me and I tried to grab his hand. "NO DON'T LEAVE ME." I yell as he steps off.
My mom pushes me back, a drink sloshing in her hand. "You little punck ash bitcchchhhhhhhh." She slurrs her words and sways a bit. "I didn't do it." I say quietly. Her face turns to rage. "WHAT DID YOU SAY." She yells and slaps my cheek. "I DIDN'T DO IT." I sob out and she crashes the drink over my head drenching me.
"GIVE ME A KISS LITTLE BOY." A man leered at me. I shrunk back and yelled out for Jack. "JACK JACK HELP ME." I scream and the man laughs. "No one is going to help you." He says and his hand runs along my thigh. "S-stop." I choke out and his face turns to rage.
"DAMIEN. DAMIEN I'M DYING." Marcel yells and I sob trying to help her. "Take it out." I say and her eyes roll back into her head. My other friend was already dead beside her. "NO NO NO." I yell and fall backwards as a police man pushes me down. "please don't hurt me." I whimper and he puts handcuffs on me.
I wake up in a cold sweat and roll over. "SHIT." I yell as I fall off. "DAMIEN ARE YOU ALRIGHT." Nole yells and and helps me up. "Why the hell am I here." I mutter. "Your parents-" "DON'T YOU DARE." He yells after seeing me walk over to the door.
"My parents know I'm here. They are going to-. Hiii mom and dad." I say after they open the door. I force a fake smile and my dad rolls his eyes. "Go to him." I nod quickly. I skirt past them and make my way to the shrink. "Yeeeeesssss." I say when he stares at me. "God I haven't been here in so long." I murmur and look around the room.
"Get your filthy hands off my stuff." He says and smacks my hands away. I flinch and sit in the chair. He starts talking but I don't register a word. I yawn and he finally has enough. "GET OUT NOW." He bellows, his face red. I smile and flick him off. I hurry back to my room and find my parents verrryyy mad. "GOD DAMMIT DAMIEN IT'S ONLY BEEN FIVE MINUTES." My mother yells and I giggle.
"Five minutes is all I need sweety." She smacks my cheek and I giggle again. It turns into an all out laugh and I fall on the floor because of it. My dad mutters something under his breath an they storm off. Nole peers at me. I immediately stop laughing. "We need to leave. Now." I say and grab my sweatshirt. "Why?" Nole asks and I blink at him.
"You know what. You stay." I mutter and slam the door behind me. I make my way back to the school and to the med ward. "THANKS FOR OPENLY HANDING ME BACK TO MY FUCKING PARENTS." I scream at Roberts who pales. I storm over to him and start to punch and kick him.
"DAMIEN STOP." I hear someone yell but I ignore them. I get yanked away from him and I scream. I try to get away but the person grabs my arms and legs. The world is too loud and too bright. I scream again and cover my face. I feel warm water envelope me. I sob and put my head under.
It's quiet and I feel the water running around my body. I gasp as I come up for air. I realize I'm naked. "AHHH." I yell seeing Nole. I blush and he averts his eyes. "GOD I'M A VIRGIN." I yell and he snorts. "I didn't ask." He says trying to contain his laughter. I blush deeper and want to smack him but I can't.
"Here's a towel." Nole says covering his eyes. I snatch it and stand up. I wrap it around my waist after drying off and poke his shoulder. He glances at me and I quickly change. I sit on my bed as he starts to pester me with questions. I stand up and he follows me out of the room. I quickly get back in and slam the door, laughing. I lock the door and close the blinds.
"DAMIEN WE HAVE A CAMERA IN THERE." Nole yells and I roll my eyes. I go and grab my guitar and sing. I sing a mashup of some random songs and end up falling asleep.
