I sit in the overstuffed chair, my knee bouncing with nervous excitement. It has been three days! Three horribly long days, but I now get the chance to talk to my family. I still have no idea if Beth and the others are making any progress on getting me out of here. Maybe after this meeting with my family, they won’t have to. I’m sure my parents will get me out of here once I explain what’s going on.

The following days passed by in a numbed down blur. Every day Doctor Harris, the woman doctor, was making me believe her more and more, and it was so depressing. If Zeke was my boyfriend, he’d been here by now. The same for Margo, Adam, and Fletcher, well Fletcher would’ve just come to laugh at me but he would’ve come.

The man laid a hand on my shoulder, concern on his face. lay a hand on my shoulder. “It’s alright Olivia. Take deep breaths. Your system is full of some heavy drugs and once they’ve run their course you’ll find it easier to think clearly.”I don’t answer. I repeat in my head s

I sit in the window seat and look out onto the street. I hug my knees to my chest. The foggy feeling is still there a little, but it is fading. Apparently, the doctor in the institution had me doped up on some heavy stuff. With my head clearer, the confusion is gone. I’m not insane, or at least, not delusional. My memories are clear and concise. Henry and the others do exist. The sound of someone rushing upstairs and Zeke’s familiar scent hit me long before he peaks into the room as if he isn’t sure he should come in or not. “Hey, Olivia.”

Beep…beep…beep. The rhythmic beeping of some machine was pulling me back into consciousness. Beep…beep…beep. My eyelids are heavy, heavier than I remember them being. My mouth feels like someone has stuffed it with cotton. My eyes finally come unglued only to be assaulted by bright light. I slam my eyes shut, voicing a groan in complaint. I turn my head, even that feels heavy, and I slowly open my eyes to a squint. I can’t see much but I can already tell this isn’t my bedroom.

“Well look who’s finally awake,” a woman says in an all too cheerful tone. I turn my head to look over at her. She’s an older woman, thin, with red hair. I watch as she flips through what I assume is my charts, making sounds of approval. “Looks like you’re finally stabilizing. That’s good to hear.”

It’s only a twenty-minute drive from the hospital to my apartment. I get out of my parents’ car and walk up to the main door. I stop before going in to wave at them. I yell to them, “I will call you guys tomorrow, promise.” My dad waves back and starts the car. I watch them for a moment before going inside. It’s decorated with muted colors of red, peach, and gray. All I hear is the soft electronic buzz, otherwise, the building is silent. It is one of the reasons I decided to move here instead of on campus. I want a higher education, not the college experience. Parties, frat boys, sororities, and all that is a big no thanks f

I forgot I didn’t have my car so I didn’t get to class as soon as I wanted. That meant I couldn’t talk to my professor like I wanted either. I figured I would catch him after the class instead.Sitting in my seat, I listen to his lecture. It seems I didn’t miss much yesterday from the way

I stare at the computer screen, my eyes tired from hours of staring at the bright screen. I’ve spent hours trying to understand what was going on. On one hand, the doctor told me one thing but my memories and the clothing told me another. It didn’t make sense and that terrified me. I’m afraid I might be going crazy. Seriously, what my mind is telling me that happened Monday was that I was attacked by a creature that obviously doesn’t exist.
