ELENA TYLER is a 20 year old patient in the MEDICAL WARD. She has been diagnosed with JUVENILE DIABETES and INSOMNIA and she looks a lot like Marie Avgeropoulos.
MAYBE THEY’RE HIDING
There was no one Elena Tyler was more connected with than her twin sister, Eliza, her built in best friend and caretaker. As often happens with twins, Elena was born underweight with medical problems as Eliza thrived. This seemed to only bring them closer as Eliza kept Elena close to her, caring for her and watching out for her as they grew up. Being diagnosed with Juvenile diabetes is hard for anyone - having to watch sugar and carb intakes, having to worry about insulin injections and medications. But Eliza always made it fun. Made it almost like a game so that Elena never felt alone or forgotten.
WE HOPE THEY ARE PLAYING A GAME
As they got older, they fell into their own things. Being of a high society family in Chicago, Eliza tended to go towards the ways of high society - popularity, parties, even turning a little rebellious as their parents started calling her on her poor decisions. Elena, however, went the quiet route. Their parents were far more protective of Elena - something Eliza envied with all she had - so she wasn’t allowed the same freedoms. She spent her time inside, mostly reading and writing down her thoughts into poems and stories. She wasn’t allowed out of her parents’ sight, but Eliza always came back to her. After her parties and her rebellious actions, she would always come home, cuddle up with Elena and tell her all about it.
BUT THIS IS REALLY HAPPENING
Until one night, there was a large fight between Eliza and her parents. Eliza had had enough of her parents talking down to her and trying to tell her what to do. She changed her clothes - provocative and enticing like a prostitute, and slipped out without a word to anyone. When Eliza didn’t come home that night, Elena worried herself sick. She went to her parents who, at first, just shrugged it off as another one of Eliza’s rebellious tantrums. But this had never happened - Eliza had never been away from Elena that long and it was making the girl worry. It would be three whole days before they would find Elena’s twin - tortured and dead. Elena struggled with it for weeks, for months. Wondering what had happened to her twin, feeling the same pain and hurt that Eliza must have been feeling. As the news continued to come out days after, it became a crushing weight against Elena. She never was the same - her parents finding her screaming in the middle of the night, crying in small areas clutching to a stuffed animal that belonged to Eliza, talking in a weird language they knew what the twin speak invented by their children. It started to become too much, and Elena’s parents were concerned that her mental health was starting to weigh down on her physical health, causing more frequent issues with her diabetes. It was time that they send her to Brielle, getting her the help she so desperately needed.
