Psycho: Vinnie Hacker

Chapter 11:Loser

Vinnies pov
Martha led me back to my room and she shut the door. It was only me and her in the room.
"Vin I have some news for you. I'm not sure how you'll take it." She said
I could hear the fear and anxiousness in her voice.
"What Is it?"
"The people who killed your parents they've been caught."
"Police finally caught them after all these years. It was on the news earlier today."
My eyes started to water.
"Where were they?" I asked as my voice cracked.
"California. They were charged with 2 other homicides that happened back in 1999 as well."
"Can I see the pictures of the people that did it?"
Tears slid down my cheeks as Martha showed me the news article on her phone.
As I looked at the pictures I recognized one man.
It was my uncle....
"Wait."
"That's my uncle Mario."
Martha looked shocked.
I cried uncontrollably. I fell to the ground and Martha just comforted me.
"He fucking killed them! He fucking killed them!" I yelled.
Martha just held me.
"I just want the pain to end." I cried.
"You'll be okay baby. Trust me."
"Come on let's go get you checked in."
I knew what the next step was.
Since I had a breakdown I had to go to the high risk section of the hospital.
I would stay there for 2 weeks, no privileges only group and back.
We walked up to the 6 floor and we checked in. I got to my room and it was the same one I had before.

"I'll be okay. Thanks Martha." I said.
"I'll make sure Harper is okay." She smiled
"Thank you." I said.
She closed the door and I just sat there in silence.
Harpers pov
I was at the gaming room playing Pac-Man when Martha came up to me.
"It's Not time for my meds yet." I said
"I know but we need to talk." She said
We sat down outside of the game room and she grabbed my hand .
"I talked to vin earlier about how they caught his parents killers, and it turns out it was his own uncle who did it."
"He was wrecked, he just wasn't himself he was crying and screaming. Last time this happened he had to get put under special watch."
"So where is he?"
"He's in the high risk wing."
I looked down at my feet and tears landed on my pants.
"He probably hates me now. I was such a bitch."
"He doesn't trust me. He cares about you too much to ever hate you."
"You can go visit him if you'd like. My shift is about to be over but I can tell Lenny if he can take you up there." She said
I smiled. "You're the best Martha."
"I know." She smiled
I sat there and waited for Lenny to come get me so I could see vinnie.
I waited for about an hour before he came.
"You ready?" He asked
I nodded.
We went up to the high risk wing and he walked me to his room.
"Thanks." I said
"Make it quick." He said
Lenny smiled and closed the door.
Vinnie was tucked in the corner just looking at the wall.
"Vin?" I said
He turned around and his eyes were red, his under eyes were purple from all the crying.
"Hey." He said
I sat next to him on the ground and looked at him.
"You okay?"
He shook his head and laughed.
"I mean besides the fact that my own uncle killed my parents I'm just dandy."
"I'm sorry vinnie."
"Sorry? Yeah that helps a lot Harper Sorry heals all wounds." He said sarcastically
I stayed quiet.
"I'm sorry Harper, it's not your fault. I just don't know how to act right now." He said
I rested my head on his shoulder.
"It's okay. Im here for you."
"I'm sorry for being a jealous bitch. I know better I just don't want to lose you." I said
We turned to look at each other and I looked down at his wrists.
He had tried to cut them, it was obvious.
"Please don't." I said
"What?"
He looked down and realized what I was talking about.
He slid down his sleeve and he looked down at his feet.
I lifted his head up and I said
"I love you."
I started to lean in and the door opened.
I quickly jumped back.
"Come on Harper we gotta go." Said Lenny
"Yeah Im coming." I stood up and so did vinnie.
"See you around nerd." I said
He just smiled.
"See you loser." He said back
