I slowly walked up the stairs to the attic. Placing my hand on the doorknob, I turned it and opened the door. Inside was my parents, hung, dead. I screamed, then everything went black.
I woke up in a cold sweat. The same dream had been haunting me ever since the accident. I opened my eyes to see the same white room I had been sharing with my roommate for the pass three years, Bailey. She was 18, but she saw the world like a 7 tahun old. That was how she ended up here, in the “Safe Place”. I rolled on my side and watched her sleep. She was so peaceful, not like she was when she was awake. I watched for a few lebih minutes, when her bright blue eyes opened and found mine. “Good morning Leena.” She stretched and propped herself up on an elbow. I nodded my “Good Morning”. Ever since that horrible day, three years ago, I had never spoken a word. The doctors berkata it had something to do with the shock. She got up and looked through the closet and picked up two shirts. “Should I wear the merah jambu one with the kitty, atau the yellow one with the sun?” I pointed at the yellow one. “Thanks.” She went into the bathroom to change. I got up and opened the blinds. The sun was shining and I was enjoying the warmth. I looked down at my wrists and rubbed them, remembering the hari I got those scars. They were red and jagged, marking me as different.
In the common room, I found Bailey talking to my other best friend, Randy. Randy was paralyzed from the waist down from a car crash. He was here to get over the concussion he had received, it had left him with half of his memory wiped. I waved “Hi.” and sat down in the chair beside him. He waved back. “Hi Leena, how are anda this fine morning?” He always had a way of looking on the bright side of things. I wrote “Good. How are you?” on the notepad I had been telah diberi when I first got here.
“I good. Bailey was just telling me that the staff has been planning a trip since we've been in here for so long.” I gave him a thumbs up. He smiled, and gave me a thumbs up back. We sat there talking, and Penulisan for a while when we noticed one of the nurses come in with another boy. “Everyone, listen up please. This is Zahyr.” Most people waved atau berkata “Hi.”
“Please make him feel comfortable.” The nurse berkata before she turned and left the room. Everyone went back to what they were doing, leaving poor Zahyr to stand alone in the middle of the room. Bailey was the only one that did anything. She walked up to him and said, “Zahyr, right? Anyway, want to hang with us?” He looked longingly at our small group before he smiled a little and came over with Bailey. “So, I'm Bailey, that's Randy and that's Leena.”
“I..it's n..n..nice to m..meet anda all.” He stuttered. We all looked at each other, he would fit right in with us. “Leena, can anda bring that chair over please.” I nodded at Randy and got up to get the chair. I went to grab it, when someone shouted, “Hey, that's my chair. So just leave it there Miss Silence.” I looked over to see Frederik. He was already in a chair with his group around him. He was here for anger management. I rolled my eyes before I grabbed the chair and brought it over to Zahyr. “Th..th..thank you.” I waved my hand at him in a “Don't mention it way.” He looked at me in confused way.
“She's a mute.” Bailey said.
“Oh...uh..ok.” He lowered his gaze to the floor.
“Hey, don't feel bad. I was the same way when I first met her.” Randy put his arm around me and gave me a little hug. We, atau I should say Bailey and Randy were filling Zayhr in on everything about this place, but I was busy figuring him out. He didn't look like the kind of guy that would have speech issues. He was pale, and had black hair with a bright red streak in the front. He saw me looking at him, both of us lowered our gazes and I could feel my cheeks going pink.

Life can be hard. Especially for me, Lily West, your almost-average 16-year-old girl. Most people think it's weird I'm bald. Others think I'm going to die. Then there's the occasional person who tries to take pity upon me. I'd rather they not, because some say it like I'm a helpless little penyu on its back. Sometimes I wish I die already, and sometimes I wish that I was a completely different person. Yes, it's tough having cancer. I just wish that they would respect me for a person instead of a helpless little bug.
