The Creature

Chapter Thirteen: The Crush

I made my rounds as best as I could, trying to make sure that I checked on every single person. Though some were completely naked and trying to thrust at me through the door, whilst others were throwing what looked like some type of green vegetable that have been mashed together at the window. It was disgusting all the way through no matter how I looked at it no matter who I met. Ironically, there was a lot of people outside of here That were a lot like those people too. Either way I reached section F and found myself staring down at Jamie's door. I wanted him to know that I had worked out the food situation, and that he'd be eating healthy very soon.

I walked down to his door, and gave my usual 3 knocks against it. The Knocks echoed throughout the Room and the hallway, as usual and Jamie called out to me.

" I hope you slept well" he said.

" Well you are the one who went to bed rather early, so I hope you got a good rest. Mine was fine though, thanks for asking" I answered, placing my hand on the door, feeling the cold steel against my finger tips.

" Yeah. I'm sorry about that. I didn't really want to keep you up or anything" he answered which made me laugh a little.

" I told you, you can talk to me as long as you want. Its no trouble ". He gave his usual silence, before finally responded. " I promise I will talk to you more from now on. I just, I'm not use to this".

" Don't worry, I'm not use to it either so I..well..ya know..I...I'm glad you slept well" I was becoming flustered and I didn't even know why. It didn't make any sense to me.

" Are you okay? " he asked me which made me even more flustered.

" I'm fine.." I answered, my cheeks turning red and burning on my face.

" You don't sound okay, are you sure? " he asked again, which made me blush even more. " Um..yeah no I'm good. I gotta make some more rounds and I uh...I'll be back later"

I walked away from him knowing full well that I was not okay. I was freaking blushing. Dear God no. I am not developing a crush on a freaking mental patient. This was a major violation code and would for sure get me fired. Why the hell did he make me blush? It's not like we have even seen one another and..I don't know. I'm just confused I think. Dennis really messed me up and that had to be the reason. That had to be the reason for all of this s**t. It was Dennis. I was confused because of him and was just looking for comfort. s**t, is that the reason I've been helping Jamie so much? No. It's more than that. It's definitely more than that. Dammit..this doesn't make any sense. Why in the hell is my head spinning like this.
