Save me (Chapter 2)
Note: Second chapter to the world's crappiest book that I never got around to publishing because I got bored with it! At least pretend to enjoy it, alright?
Bad dream (Name of chapter)
Jack was having pleasant dreams about whatever when he thought he heard sobbing. He slowly got up, stretched, and looked around. His eyes were already used to the dark, and as far as he could tell, Mark was asleep. He figured it was just his imagination and was about to go back to sleep when a blood-curdling scream filled Jack's ears. Jack jumped and was fully awake at this point. He looked over at Mark, which was also awake.
All off the lights turned on and the doors had opened. Mark and Jack quickly went outside to see what was going on. They weren't the only ones there. Felix and Cry were out of their cells too, just as confused. A bunch of doctors came running to the cell that was next to Mark and Jack. They looked at each other and got closer to the scene. Another scream could be heard from the cell when one of the doctors tried to approach the person inside.
Suddenly, Dr. Fong came running through yelling "Get out of the way!" Everyone moved and Jack could now see who was inside. It was a man with short, dark hair and blue eyes crying vigorously. When he saw Dr. Fong, he immediately jumped forward, tackling the doctor in a hug. He was sobbing in his shirt, holding on for dear life it seemed. The doctor managed to sit up and rub the patients back.
"Shh, calm down, Jonathan. I'm here. It was just a bad dream. Shhh......" He repeated. It seemed to work, at the sobbing had died down. The man looked up at the doctor and sniffed.
"I want my teddy bear......." He said, starting to cry again.
"Shh, it's ok, Jonathan. We'll get it for you, ok?" Evan said. Jonathan nodded and hugged the doctor harder. Evan looked at the rest of the doctor that were just standing there.
"It's ok, I got him. Put the other patients back in their cell, please." They nodded, and made Mark and Jack go back inside of their cell.
"Jesus, that scared the absolute shit out of me." Jack whispered to Mark. He nodded.
"That's our other neighbor, Jonathan. He got diagnosed with PTSD after some incident with his parents or something. No one really knows what happened except for the doctors, and they won't tell anyone. For some reason, though, whenever he has one of his breakdowns, like what you just saw, Evan is the only one that's able to calm him down. It's really sad to think about. Whenever he's back to normal, he's a really nice and funny guy." Mark whispered back.
"Man, I feel bad for him." Jack replied. Mark only nodded. "I don't know if I'm going to get sleep after that." Jack said as he got into his bed.
"Well, you better. I gotta show you around and stuff, so I don't want you to be falling asleep on me." Jack sighed and rolled over to his side, trying to go to sleep. It took a while, because Jack was still shaken up by what just happened, but he finally managed to fall asleep.
