ENTANGLED

PART 17

I felt my body ache, i tried opening my eyes but they were heavy. I almost gave up but then I remembered my family. they were looking forward for me getting better. i finally managed to open up my eyes.

"Wow that was quite a fight you put out there" i heard Julia's voice. i turn my head towards her. same condition as me, in a straight jacket.

" What happened?" I strained trying to make myself comfortable not that it helped anyway.

"You were acting so hysterical, damn now I believe you are really insane" she joked making me chuckle. She was the first person to call me crazy and I didn't feel offended.

"They hurt you again?" I asked after a while.

" Yes but I always think of my parents, so it hurt less" she answered forcing out a smile" My parents will help you get out of here"

"I told you before, help yourself"

"if only i knew how"

"Sometimes I wish that I was really insane so that I won't go through all these series of pain, maybe I would be in peace"

"I am insane , in fact I know am mad," their was silence in the room.

"Maybe accepting will help me get rid of this force inside of me. you know like a thief in the night that comes and grabs you, it crawls inside you and consumes you, a disease of the night that controls you.

You know before, it was the greatest feeling; of being loved and wanted and understood. Only now i know that it was just too close to comfort." i looked at Julia who was looking at me in silent

"So tell me, how can one solve something that one has no idea what it is?" I asked her, but she kept silent.

"You are not crazy and what they are doing is illegal, so let me help you at least" i continued. She was about to talk when the door opened and two nurses entered, releasing Julia leaving me behind. I got lost in thoughts starring at the white wall that surrounded me,

how came so white yet so dark?

Twilight appeared and started clapping his hands "What a wonderful poem that was" he smirked.

"Was it for me? Ouch! It hurts so much, that my beloved talked so ill about me" he continued faking a hurt.

"But it was the truth right?" I smirked back. He snapped and the chains glowed "Mind how you talk to me, I want a nice poem for me get it?"

"Why would I do that? You are evil; you are a devil in disguise, what good can I write about you? Huh?" I short back, pain was starting to get apart of me "I said mind how you talk to me!" the chains was caught on fire and i couldn't stop myself from screaming again.

***

Days went by and still i wasn't allowed to go outside. According to them i was not only a threat to myself but to the rest of the patients as well.

I had been having a series of break down in which i never remembered anything apart from Twilight showing up and blackouts then waking up in straight jacket.

I was getting impatient sitting in a pale room, I wanted to know how Julia was doing.

finally i was let out. My number one destination was to find Julia. I went to her room, she wasn't their.

maybe at the hall. I thought.

She wasn't their also. Something was going on; there were couple of police in the asylum "What is going on?" I asked one of the inmates

"They have arrested the doctor, your doctor, now you have no doctor, you will be crazy forever, ha ha ha ha!"

well trust me, that was her answer, for a minute I thought she was feeling sorry for me but nop.

The information was not at all satisfying so i went for further information. I asked my favourite nurse Anna my name sake but she just shrugged me off.

"Please,' I gave her my best puppy face

"I just want to know where my friend is?" I begged

"Don't worry about your friend, she is no longer here. She has gone home" she answered walking away .

"Really? How?" I asked while she just threw her hands on the air.

What could she probably mean by Julia going home? And the doctor arrested? Can it be? Yes, that's must be it. i was so happy for her but sad that i have lost her now.

"Feeling sad?" Twilight appeared from behind.

"If you touch me I will act crazy and that will make the nurse inject me" I threatened

"Come down my beloved, I come in peace" he said raising his hands up surrendering

"Peace? Don't make me laugh" i chuckled bitterly

"Okay enough am trying to be nice but you are being stubborn. I don't like this place anymore"

"You brought me here yourself so deal with it"i started walking away.

"Shut up when I speak! The doctors are just too dump, I can't believe they wasted all their seven years in collage just to learn how to give sedatives, you have to get out of this place"

"I can't am cuckoo, remember?" i stopped

"That's why you need to get better"

"How? When you keep making me..."

"I said don't interrupt me! Am going on a trip.."

"On a trip? Wow! Can I join you?" I asked amusingly. Twilight looked at me with surprised.

"Come on, take a joke, I mean let me enjoy talking with you freely in this place where there is no one to judge"

"Can you be serious for once?"

"Not today, today I must enjoy the conversation with my boyfriend, my cruel and heartless boyfriend, should I add more?"

"If we were outside this place, I would have assumed you are drunk but it seemed like you starting to be even more nuts. When I come back from the trip, I want to find you out of this place fail to do so, you and your entire family will suffer get it?"

"Yes Sir" I saluted then he vanished just like that, the chain cooled off. I was already feeling better and I wished he never came back.

But the presence of the chains clearly was a signature that he wasn't gone for good.

The following day my parents visited. I had asked again about Julia and according to them, , the doctor has been charged with corruption and malpractices; the police also found out that he has been excepting bribe to hold Julia in the asylum and faking medical statement indicating that she was mentally unfit.

Not only was he arrested but also his license revoked plus the two nurses and the uncle whom had been his accomplices were arrested awaiting sentence. Julia had already left for the states to be with her grandparents to receive medical attention due to the t*****e she was submitted too, she wanted to say good bye but I was still in a lock down.

I was so happy that she was finally free, but sad at the same time now that I had no one to talk to, the rest of the people were too mad to make a conversation with.

Mom and dad had already finished the end of their bargain and now was my turn. Especially now that Twilight was gone.

I was immediately assigned another psychologist and guess who? Mrs. Sofia, the nice doctor and i couldn't be more happier. Within a month, I was ready to go home.
