The Boarding School

-26-

I woke up, Alison is in the room, a big gash in the side of her neck, still bleeding.
She said "How could you kill me? We didn't get along, but, killing me? That's a little much" then laughs. "You killed me this time, but now its time for my revenge!" She yells and drives her fist through my chest, ripping out my heart as I scream.

I wake up screaming, clutching my chest, then feeling my heartbeat, which was rapid. Just a dream.... Just a dream. That's what I keep telling myself. It's just a dream. I look around, I'm still in the stupid room. I stand up and walk over to the window and stare out at the sky. The nurse walks in with a plate of food.
"I'm not hungry" I say, not even looking at her, still staring out the window.
"Okay, well its here if you want it" she says. I shake my head no. She walks over to me.
"You will be fine. We will have a psychologist talk to you later, she will help you" she says sweetly.
"I don't want to talk to anyone. I just want my father to wake up and I want to go home" I say.
"I don't know about your father. He's still unconscious. But you can't go home till you talk to some doctors. They will help you. Your mental health is at risk" she says.
"I don't want to be here" I say, glaring at her.
"Is there anything I can do for you, something you need?" She asks.
"Just leave me alone" I say. She gets up and leaves the room. I stare out the window some more.
  I sit there for a long time, then hear a knock on the door.
"Come in" I say. Ms. Perison walks in with a suitcase.
"I brought you your stuff, laptop, clothes and other stuff" she says, setting down the bag.
"Thanks..." I say, studying her.
"Are you okay?" She asks, sitting down in a chair.
"No. I'm not crazy. I just want to go home. I don't want to be here. I don't deserve this" I say. She stands up and walks over to me.
"You're not crazy, just a little ill" she says, putting her hand on my shoulder.
"Don't touch me" I growl, jerking my arm back.
"Okay, sorry" she says, stepping away. I walk over to my bed and sit down.
"Why were all the murders happening at the school, whose doing it? Why were all the girls mean to me?" I ask, staring at the wall, not looking at her.
"I don't know" she says quietly.
"I want answers! Why did the murders happen, why doesn't anyone trust me, why am I here, why am I going crazy?!" I shout.
"Calm down. I don't have the answers right now, Maddie" she says calmly. I sigh and continue to stare at the wall.
"I don't know why this is happening and I'm sorry" she says.
"I would've been fine if you convinced my aunt Lisa to not go to that stupid school!" I yell.
"I didn't know any of this was going to happen" she says harshly.
"It's all because of that school! It's all because of you!" I shout, standing up tall, my shoulders tensing up.
"None of it was because of me" she says.
"You were the one who put my father in a coma!!" I yell, lunging at her and wrapping my hands around her neck, strangling her. A few doctors ran into the room pulling me away. I struggle and scream.
"It's all your fault!! You did this to me!!" I scream in anger and terror. She just stands there and stares at me, as I try to get out of the doctors' grip.
"You! You're evil! Why did you let this happen?!" I scream. One of the doctors pull out a needle and push it into my neck, injecting a sedative. I slowly collapse to the floor.
"How could you do this to me?" I cry out, falling asleep.
  I wake up in my bed, sweating and tired. I look around, still in my room. I put my hand on my forehead and exhale. The nurse walks into the room.
"What you did last night was unacceptable. That's one of the reasons you are here. You're dangerous, Maddie, you could really hurt someone" she says. I close my eyes and breathe deeply.
"It's not my fault" I whisper, my eyes still closed. The nurse just sits still. A doctor walks into the room. The nurse stands up.
"Maddie, this is doctor Mackenzie, she's here to help you and to make you better, have a talk with her" the nurse says, then leaves the room. The doctor walks up to me.
"I don't want to talk to you" I say, trying not to make eye-contact.
"Maddie, I am here to help you, talk to me. What is going on with you?" She asks, sitting down in the chair. I sit up in my bed.
"I don't know" I say.
"Why do you keep attacking people?" She asks. I breathe hard, I feel anger welling up inside of me, but I try my best to keep calm.
"They make me mad. They threaten me" I say, snarly.
"How?" she asks.
"Well, Ms. Perison keeps saying she has never done anything wrong, when she was the one who put my dad in a coma, and the girls at my school keep saying I committed those murders. When obviously I didn't" I say. We talk a bit more, then the doctor finally leaves.
  I've been here for a few days now, staying in my hospital room, talking to different doctors. I've had enough of being here. I never did anything wrong, well, nothing was my fault. I've still been thinking of Dad, and how much I hate Aunt Lisa.
The nurse walks into the room, I run past her, running out of the room. I want to see dad. I run down the staircase down to the floor where dad's room should be, I check all the rooms with unlocked doors. I couldn't find dad in any of them, and again, a nurse catches me and takes me back to my room. I sit down on my bed. I hear a doctor and a nurse talking.
"She's too much for us to handle. We can't have her continuously trying to get out or become violent against people" The nurse said.
"She's fine, give her a few more days" the doctor said.
"No, she isn't. I think she needs full attention"
"No. She just needs to settle down"
"Our professionals aren't good enough for her"
"What are you trying to suggest?"
"She should go to a real mental hospital"
"Do you really think that's necessary?"
"Yes"
"We'll think about it"
I freeze. I don't want to go to an actual mental hospital. I don't want to be in this regular hospital either.
  I stayed for a few more days at the same hospital, still getting mad, still escaping to look for my father, still attacking people. I don't know whats wrong with me, I don't know whats happening.
  A few more days pass, then I get a visit from Ms. Perison.
"Hey Maddie" she says, coming into the room, closing the door behind her. I was strapped down to my bed. I attacked one of the nurses that night, so they strapped me down so I could calm down and not hurt anyone. I'm still strapped down.
"The doctors say you should go to an actual mental hospital. I agree with them" she says. I glare at her in shock.
"Y'know Maddie, you're right. You're not crazy, and you're not dangerous. Those murders at school, I did them all, I killed those girls. It was easy to do, especially when everyone thought it was you're doing" she smiles.
My eyes widen, I pull at the straps.
She continues,"You're not crazy. And I was the one who put your dad into a coma. And the doctors are taking him off life support, so he will die, and you're going to a full security mental hospital for the rest of your life, and it's all because of me" she smirks. I start shouting at her, crying.
She continues to speak. "I've always hated the girls at the school, so I got rid of the ones I hated the most. And I've always hated you, everyone hates you. So you're going to the mental hospital for the rest of your life so no one has to see you ever again"
"Goodbye Maddie"
