Patient 643 (Lana Del Rey fanfic)

2

I wake up to see one of the dark ones hovering over me, "don't look at him." May says cupping my cheek and pushing my face to look at her, "don't say anything, just look at me." She mumbles not taking away her hand. I stare into May's deep green eyes as she holds me. I can still see him so I bury my head into the crook of her neck. I feel May shift slightly and she lets out a small whimper, "May?" I whisper. She hush's me but I can tell she's still in pain. I hold her closer hoping it would help and I feel tears slipping down her cheeks against my head but unwillingly stay quiet. May holds me to her as well and we cuddle as May whimpers and cries, "he's gone..." May whispers. I pull away from her slightly and look at her through the darkness, "what happened ?" I ask her wiping her tears from her face, "it hurt me..." May mumbles, "what?!" I say scared for her, "relax honey, I'll be okay." She mumbles giving me a weak smile, "let me see May." "Baby-" "no let me see." May hesitates but eventually stands up and we go to the moonlight shining through one of the windows. May takes off her sweatshirt and lifts up the back of her tank top where there the word traitor was engraved in her skin, "May..." I whisper. There was no bleeding obviously but I knew it wouldn't heal, "what do they mean traitor?" I ask her, "I'm supposed to be one of them and make you scared and sad so you'd try to kill yourself but I took a different path then them, they're angry and jealous." May says looking away from me. "Why couldn't they hear you?" I ask May, "they weren't listening for me." May says. I lean my head against May's shoulder crying, "I don't wanna go back to sleep May I'm scared." I say crying on her, "honey it's okay I'll be here for you." May says pulling me to the bed her laying down and patting the spot next to her, "May..." I hesitate, "he's not coming back tonight." May says reassuring me slightly. I get into bed with her and snuggle against her chest, "goodnight May..." I mumble. "Goodnight."
-Day 59-
I wake up without May and I panic instantly, looking around for her, "May?! May?!" "Patient 643, time for breakfast!" A nurse says as the door opens. She gestures for me to go with her and I do following her to the cafeteria. On the way there I see many dark ones staring at me with glowing eyes but I ignore them knowing they won't hurt me with other people around. When we get to the dinning hall I go to an empty table and sit down with my nurse and my food. A few minutes later a girl close to my age sits down, "hello patient 463." The nurse says to her, "hi." She says smiling at us as she sits down. She turns to me, "hi my names Melanie." She says to me, "patient 463 what did I say about using names?" The nurse says in a firm tone. Melanie rolls her eyes, "I don't fucking care." She says to the nurse, "so what's your name?" She asks me eating a spoonful of pudding. "Um..." I didn't really know my name, it's been a long time since anyone has called me by my real name, "May..." I tell her. She smiles, "nice to meet you!" She says excitedly taking my hand in hers and shaking it. I smile at her and was happy to finally have a friend who wasn't dead. "Do you like music?" She asks. I shrug not remembering the last time I heard music, "you don't talk much so you?" I shrug once again, "I'm just shy." I say quietly, "you don't have to be May, I'm your friend!" Melanie says giving me a small smile. I smile back and we giggle, "c'mon girls time for recreation!" The nurse says. We all get up and follow her to the rec room. "Well I liked music before I got here. I knew how to play just about every instrument." She says smiling with nostalgia in her eyes. From the way she looked I can tell music was her life. When we get to the rec room Melanie pulls me to the couch and we sit, Melanie grabbing the remote and putting on mtv. We watch today's greatest hits and the first song that came on was stairway to Heaven by Led Zeppelin. Melanie sways her head to the music and quietly hummed to the music. I listen instantly falling in love with the beautiful song, "Mel, this sounds amazing." I say to her, "isn't it?" I smile and examine Melanie. I'm not sure why she was in here, despite her quirks she seemed normal. I decide not to say anything since she didn't ask me why I was here. When rec was over I went back to my room where May was waiting for me, "sorry I wasn't here this morning, I was with my boyfriend trying to make him feel better. It was our anniversary today and he really missed me today." She says sadly looking down. "I'm sorry May." I say to her giving her a hug. When we pull away from each other we sit on my bed, "so what happened to you today?" May asks me causing me to smile, "I made a new friend." I say excitedly. May looks up at me and smiles, "really? What's their name?" She asks me. "Her names Melanie, I think she's new here, I've never seen her before." I say to her, "that's great honey." May says giving me a warm smile. "Why is she here?" May asks, "I'm not sure she didn't say anything." "I'll be right back..." May says getting off the bed and disappearing. I lay on my bed and wait for her to come back. When she does a few minutes later she has a shocked look on her face "you should be careful around Melanie..." May
says slowly, "What?! Why May?! Whats going on?" She shakes her head, "I'm not telling you, its not my
business." "Was it your business when you looked into her fucking head May!" I snap at her. "Jesus Christ, I'm trying to fucking help you!" May says to me angrily. If you wanted to help me you'd fucking tell me!" I say angrily. "You won't even fucking believe me!" May says, "why wouldn't I believe you?" I say confused. She sighs and shakes her head, "please May you're my best friend, I trust you..." "she killed people..." May mumbles "What?" "she killed someone." She says a bit louder. I look away from her not wanting to believe her. "Honey, do you believe me?" She asks me. I nod, "I don't want to May, she's a good person." May nods, placing a hand on my Shoulder, "just talk to her..."
