Sick Twisted Love

Chapter Three: Crazy Train

I have been in the hospital for a week. Dr. Rose and the other doctors have been trying to find the right way to treat me. Meanwhile my mom has woken up. She is not fully recovered but she is recovering. She has not come down from the ICU to see me.  I do not know if she is mad at me or scared of me. I mean we always knew I had dark thoughts and was attracted to strange, unusual things since I was around five years old. I just laid here and let my thoughts wander trying to understand how long Noah my alternate version of myself has been around. I always would zone out and sometimes here a weird voice in my head but I always just thought it was either my imagination or just daydreams like any other typical human being, but then again if I was normal I wouldn't be attracted to such dark thoughts. I am such a morbid person, I chuckled to myself before nurse Diane walked in. " Hello, Mr. Andrews. I have brought your lunch and came to check your vitals, she said interrupting my thoughts. " So, what was so funny. Nothing, I responded. How is my mother doing? I asked. " She is well, Diane answered." Can I go see her? I asked. " I'm Sorry David, but no, you may not. " She replied. " Why? I said starting to feel annoyed." This is the fifth time you all have said no, this isn't fair I should be able to see her or at least let my friend Jackson see me  LET SOMEONE SEE ME LET ME FEEL SOME KIND OF NORMAL! I yelled. " Now David, you know I'm only doing my job, this is for the safety of not only your friends and your mother, She paused then continued, But safety for the staff and most importantly YOU!, her face turned serious. " I know you want to make sure your mother is ok, I know you want to be a normal teenager and see your friends and to let them know your fine, but until we figure out the severity of your disorder you are staying right here, she said" I let out a loud sigh. " Fine, I muttered." " At least tell me you brought me something good for lunch" I asked most sincere. " Today is pizza day, I brought one slice of cheese and one pepperoni, I wasn't sure which one you'd like" She smiled then continued. " You also have a small coke, a cup of ice water, and a side of seasonal fruit." Thank you, Ms. Diane, I replied. " Your welcome and your vitals look good" she responded. " I'll be back before I finish my round for today, you will be getting Nurse Damien tonight" She smiled then exited the room. Well guess it is time to enjoy Lunch and take another long nap since I have nothing better to do.

2hrs later at Elizabeth's house

" Good afternoon, Mrs. Sellers said to her daughter" Hi mom, Lizzie responded. " How are you feeling today?", Lizzies mom asked. " Never better, why do you ask?" Honey, you have not slept all week, I am worried about you. Elizabeth looked up into her mother sea green eyes and paused for a moment unsure of what to say, then she let out a sigh. "Mom I promise I will be fine, I'm more worried about David than anything else." I really want to see him and tell him why I called the police and see what happened, I want to know his side of the story. I know he may have always been the weird quiet kid up the road to you but to me he was, she paused for a moment she wasn't sure how to word it in a way her mother would understand Mrs. Sellers finally cut in. " Sweetheart, she said in an almost whisper." " I know you like him, but if it were you. You said it yourself he did not even respond to his name when you called for him, what if he had hurt you-, Elizabeth cut her off immediately. " HE WOULDN'T, she shouted." David would never! she continued causing her mother a fright. " He isn't just some boy or some random high school crush, IT'S DAVID MOM, DAVID!  Yes, he is quiet and weird. Yes, he is quite different, but this is not him. He would never hurt me; she lowered her voice, and her head and tears began to fall. " Lizzie I just want you to stay safe, her mom whispered " as she put her arms around her daughter in a comforting position. " I understand mom, but I'm almost eighteen, I'm old enough to make my own decisions." " Ok, her mother responded, we can go to the hospital tomorrow, she said sincerely. Elizabeth lifted her head hugged her mother back then got up grabbed her pack and headed to school.

As I walked out the door, I looked at the clear cloudless blue sky. Images passed through my head. David's face even his voice, Hell his whole demeanor was not him. It was like I was looking at a stranger. I was not afraid though, instead I had a thousand questions running through my mind. The first one was why did he do it. My mom was right to be worried about me, I thought to myself heading towards my scooter in the driveway. I was way to curious for my own good. How does that saying go? Oh, that is right. curiosity killed the cat. I finally snapped out of it. I have been zoning out a lot all week. God, I need to get more sleep, I thought to myself. I jumped on my scooter put the key in the ignition and sped off down the long-wooded country road. Off to school we go, I guess.

1hr later at the hospital... 

I awoke from my nap to nurse Damien adjusted my arm to do a blood pressure read. " You know I'm still sore" I scoffed as I opened my eyes to see the culprit causing my discomfort. " That hurts? he questioned " " Yes, I sorely responded " He started to examine my arm. " When did this happen?" he asked. " When did what happen?" I questioned confused. " Your arm its bruised, it looks like you tried to break your restraints." Well I have been asleep this whole time, I defended. " I'm going to go get Dr. Rose and Dr. Rodriguez" he answered. " Why, I asked " " It's possible Noah is manifesting while you are asleep but before I make that assumption, I will need both of your doctors to evaluate you", he responded. " Fantastic, I answered sarcastically." I sat there and thought to myself and looked up at the clock which read five pm, Dinner should be here soon. I signed to myself. I wish I could go back to school, at least I would have some entertainment there. My thoughts got interrupted when a concerned Dr. Rose walked in. She picked up my arm and started to examine my wrist. My whole arm was swollen from my wrist to my elbow as if someone tried to break my entire arm trying to get me out of here. " Tomorrow I would like to try another test tomorrow" She sighed to me as she looked at me. " What test? I asked " " Well it's a little unorthodox" she responded." " SOOO, I said sarcastically then continued" What does that mean? I said questioning." I want to get someone in here to try to do a trance you fall asleep and Noah wakes up "she said then continued. " I want to speak with him, she said as my eyes widened "
