“Now, that’s just rude.”

“Why? It’s the truth right? Besides I included myself so..”

Nathaniel was ready to make a snide comment directed towards the speaker, but he stopped himself. He recognized that voice. He turned around on his heels, his eyes immediately widening at the sight of his sister. “Layla??”

His voice made her look up. Eyes wide, lips forming a smile all on its own. “Nate..” She let out, before enveloping him a hug. “I missed you.. I missed you so damn much.” Layla whispered.

“Did no one tell you anything? We have to give you a physical… Medical check ups… Nothing?”

“No.. No they.. they didn’t. But I’m alright. I already know everything. They’ve got my files so.. I’m sure there’s a reason they didn’t tell me. I don’t need a physical.”

“Wow.. This place is a lot nicer than I expected it to be.”

[laylaxbarnett]

“Really..? You must have thought of it worse than hell then. And I just got here.. So that’s saying a lot.”

“Oh come on.  Some of us “crazies” actually have names.  Like me for example, I’m Canyon.”

“I did say other. Which includes myself, if it makes you feel better. I’m Layla.”

“Your imagination must not be that big… Come on then, let’s go.”

“What? Where?”

Layla… Barnett… She thought for a moment and then remembered from her files this was one of the self-harmers. “Good to meet you Layla,” she gave a warm smile and ignored the snarky comment. “Is this your first day as well?”

“Yeah.” The woman responded, loosing interest in the other. She looked around, searching for something. Just catching flares of the question asked. “Mhm. Hey listen, do you know where my brother’s staying? His room number.”

“Well, I wouldn’t call them all crazy.” She reached out her hand, “I’m Dr. Fiore, and you are?”

“No? Luckily for you I was the one who said it.” A moment. For a moment she considered not shaking it, then she took the woman's hand firmly. “Layla. Layla Barnett.”

[laylaxbarnett]

“Wow.. this is.. Exactly as I imagined it to be. Can’t wait to meet all the other crazies..”
