-Amanda's POV

As the days went by, I became more and more depressed. Being kept in a mental hospital is terrible. When you go outside you are behind electric fences, its sorta like a prison, but worse. At night all I hear are screams and cry's. All I see at my breaks are people who are crazy and look terrible. I don't belong here. But I just have to keep counting down the days to leave. 509 left to go.

"Amanda, time for lunch." Lily had said as she broke me out of my thoughts.

"Okay, I'll be right back." I say as I make my way towards the bathroom to change out of the disgusting white gown they make you wear. The only good thing about here, is that they let us wear our normal clothes if we wear a name tag practically stated that we are crazy and not one of the nurses or staff that works here. As I heard a knock at the door I had noticed that I had been looking in the mirror for quiet awhile. My face had become pale and the color had been drained out of my eyes along with bags too. My hair was still blackish brown but it was a mess. I was a mess.

"Coming." I call back towards Lily's knock and make my way out to the lunch.

As I entered the lunch room I had noticed a girl that stood out. She was wearing normal clothes like me instead of the dreadful gowns they made us wear. As I made my way closer to her I could see that her name tag said 'Kelsey' on it.

"What are you looking at?" She asked in a pissy voice. All I did was smirk and look up.

"Kelsey, huh. Nice name. I suppose your in here for a bi-polar disorder?" I say as I laugh and she laughs along.

"I guess something like that. But no, I almost killed a person." And we both stop laughing.

"Then why are you here?" I ask being careful with every word.

"The almost murder had to do with mental demons, so they though that I would be better off here." She says as she grabs her slop of food and sits at one of the tables as I follow.

"Why are you here?" She asks as we both take a seat.

"Almost killed myself a many number of times, um.. drug over doses. The usual." I say with a small laugh.

"Nice, but I still beat you with my attempted murder story." she laughs.

"You sure do." I say.
