Ivan's POV
Patient 222
There's always a lady wearing a white sort of dress and small cap that never seems to fit on her head. In fact, every lady that I've seen in this stupid place all don't have fitting cap.
Today he seems to be full of confidence and energy," I hear a lady in white say, looking at her badge! Her name neatly spelt Cassie.
Cassie," I repeated thrice nodding my head, blurting out, "Cassie where are my friends? Where's my boyfriend?" The nurse was staring ahead and wheeling me to the interrogation ward. "You long-faced chimpmunk, answer me!" I kept screaming.
If I wasn't tied down to the wheel chair, I would have held the nurse by her dress and screamed at her until I became tired. I haven't been coping well either since I've been having persistent mood disinhibition and mood euphoria and my behavior that has become different from a normal person's behavior. Sometimes I have mixed feelings and I get depressed on some days, and then the depression goes on other days.
Yesterday morning, after I had breakfast and once there was a mad man as I classified them all, I was eating and making funny faces, while some patients were laughing, I was irritated by the man's actions, and I swore I gave the man a very bad glare, which made him comport himself, and I entered the depression state again.
There's someone name that keeps tugging in my heart. Patrick. There are days I remember who he is and my friends too, the memories of the cabin. I silently prayed to God to keep him safe. I knew he was here, I knew my friends were in the same state as I was. If only we'd stayed back and not gone to the cabin, maybe we wouldn't have seen the notes and not to talk of reading it. I can't hate Danielle, I believe it wasn't her fault entirely. Mad Louie wouldn't accept that it wasn't mad Danielle's fault, I couldn't blame Louie tho. Only God knows what I'd have done if anything happened to Patrick.
I looked around and my eyes landed on him, I remembered his last words to me "I will love you Ivan". Who is he? I don't know, there are days when my memories are hazy and I remember only pieces.it hurts every time it happens.
And then the police came and took us and brought us to this hell hole. I hissed, I was feeling unhappy to the point my chest hurt and so I was taken to my ward.
Patrick’s POVPatient 223I saw him before he was wheeled away, my heart aches more, I miss him and I need him now more than ever. I wish I could see him, just to hold him, the last conversation we had was when I refused to talk to him some days after the words in the notes started having its effect on me, and I held his hand and told him I love him." A tear rolled down my cheek. That cabin needs to be burnt down. I’ve lost track of how long we’ve been brought here.I’m mostly quiet and usually depressed, my hands are tied together, I remember the first week I got here, I’d use my nails to inflict pain on myself, I’d scratch my skin until it starts bleeding or I hit my head on the wall, it’s an act I repeat so on most times, a nurse always comes to sedate me. I remember every detail of the cabin but I’m too scared to talk, If the notes could make us have disorders then definitely we could die if we say the truth or
The PastHe kept on checking his phone and for the fifth time. There were no missed calls or any text from her. He was beginning to get worried and so he called his best friend.The first thing "Hey buddy, what's up?"Nothing much, you good?"Yeah. I can't reach Dani, is she over at your house?"Nope," he replied stressing the 'p' sound. "You can call Stacie or Ruth, they may be together or something, ya know those girls how they do," Louie stated."Thanks, man, I'll see ya." Ezekiel dialed his sister's number and she picked on the second ring. He quickly asked her if Dani was with her."Yes, she's with me but Ruth is not here. I'll tell her you called and she'll call you, keep your mind calm."His mind was at peace hearing his girlfriend was having a nice time with his sister. He smiled."That girl got me wrapped around her fingers, he muttered to himself. His phone vibrated in his pocket. Checking the caller ID, he smiled."Ni hao."Ni hao ma."Wo hen h
Later that night, 11:37 pm...Stacie and LouieShe rested her head on his chest, circling her fingers on his chest, while he was caressing her back down to her butt cheeks. He was thinking, he seriously had a feeling that something bad was going to happen but, all his friends were going so he has no choice."I can't tell my parents, I'd send a message to my brother Michael, he thought." He broke off his thoughts and stared at his girlfriend."Babe, I'm having a bad feeling about this, I don't know, but she's my best friend, I can't say no, and my brother is also going to the cabin. I'm scared."She was obviously shivering, chewing on her lower lips, and hugging him tightly."Hey don't be scared, we'll be fine."He raised her face closer to his face. His eyes roaming her face, he used his index finger to trace her lips softly. He kissed her."Stacie, you're beautiful, you're unique and I'm glad you're mine."She smiled."I'm g
The trip to Lakewood Cabin was a rather quiet one. The kids had taken off two hours ago, 11am, not the actual time that was agreed upon the night before, thanks to Stacie and Louie, who had arrived at the meeting point at 10.57am.They had tendered some excuses about having to wash the bus and have it fueled for the trip, which none of the kids were having, since they were always the ones to come later than the rest. It was Ezekiel, the eldest among the clique who first took the initiative to take a jibe on the two love birds, then the rest followed like gang members, who had been waiting their turn to assault a target.The two had apologized sincerely, and everyone had taken their spot in the white Ford Transit that belonged to Stacie's grandpa. Ezekiel had taken the wheel for one hour and an hour later, Louie relieved him and drove for another hour.The sun took on a harsher form as noon passed by, its golden ray beamed brightly on the windshield, forcing Louis
"Guys, guys, we can’t just stand here forever." She threw her hands up in frustration.Ruth who hasn’t said anything all through the ride down to Lakewood was already losing her patience."Ugh!" she grunted, "Dani can you lead the way inside, please? I’m tired and I need to pee. If y’all wanna stay out, fine!" She took her duffel bag and box and walked up to the door."Let’s grab our stuff and go in," Dani said, scurrying past everyone to unlock the door. As soon as they all entered the house, the stench of dust hit them hard, the house felt cold."I-I-I can-n-n-t finds a switch. Oh, okay, I got it," Ruth said, feeling excited already. The house was neatly organized and decorated as if someone cleaned it because they were coming."Whoa!" Stacy exclaimed."Let’s get settled then, we should pick our rooms," said Ezekiel, he picked up his box and followed his girlfriend, they all followed Dani.Ruth wh
It's been two days since they arrived at Lakewood. It was Sunday morning around 7 am, jasper was awake he didn't know why because, it was very unusual for him to be awake by this time of the morning. He got up from the bed wearing only his briefs and the fluffy catty slippers that Mrs. Baldwin gifted him two months ago. He entered the bathroom, opening the cabinet he took out his brush and toothpaste, closing the cabinet, he swore he saw a lady behind him in the mirror, he opened the cabinet and closed it he saw the lady, this time he took a closer look at her, she looked almost normal except that her skin was too pale, he closed the cabinet again and was about to open it,"hey babes, morning""Morning babes" he replied nonchalantly, brushing his teethIgnoring his tone " why you looking like you seen a ghost""That's because I saw one right where you're standing" he mumbled incoherently"What did you say""Nothing babes, I'll be
"Are you OK?" Louie asked, concern written all over his face."Yea I am", scratching the back of her head she tried to remember what had happened, but it was blurry, the only thing she remembered, was she walking in the hallway and the rest she was still finding it hard to remember."What happened? Did jasper attack you ?" Ivan asked."I haven't seen him!" She replied hastily."Here, let me help you up," Ivan said, holding his hand out, she held it and he pulled her up.They all entered the room, jasper was laying on the bed, laying on his back with no shirt on except his black pants, his hand was folded on his chest and he wasn't breathing.Ruth sat beside him, his hand was cold against hers, "jas baby, jas baby!"There was no response, he laid still and as cold as anyone could get.Fear gripped her, she placed her head on his chest, his heart was beating faintly,Ruth lost it, she began to cry."He's
"I don't understand, first, it was Ruth and then you," Ezekiel said gesticulating with his hands. "Is this some kind of joke?" he added."Jokes? really? who jokes with such things" Jasper flares."Then why is your story not adding up""Because you don't understand, that's a better way to put it and not by saying this is some kind of joke""Because it feels like a joke to me""You know what Zeke", Jasper said, he was angry already "just forget it, I'm awake and that's all that matters", he said, standing up from the bed, he picked up the lighter and an already wrapped blunt. He was going out for a smoke, Ezekiel dragged him by his arm and shoved him back, "we're not done talking man""Oh yes, we are," Jasper answered.Jasper is known to have a temper and the one who acts fast that no one dares. He stood face to face with Ezekiel."Whether you believe my story or not, I don't fucking care, touch me again and I'd not hesitat
