We're All a Little Mental.

Kyden sighed heavily as her mother pulled up to New Seasons. "This is for your own good, Ky." she tried but the recently turned eighteen year old ignored her. Her mom sighed and got out, opening her daughter's door and waiting for her to get out. Kyden got out, still not saying a word, and began the short walk to the front door.

Once inside, she stared at some "motovational" pictures while her mom got the paperwork that she needed to fill out. "Kyden, stop picking at your bandage." her mom said, swatting her daughter's hand away from the bandage that was wrapped around her left wrist. "Here, you need to fill these out and then you're all taken care of." she told her. Kyden still didn't speak as she began filling the paperwork out.

Tony lifted his head from his pillow when he heard Jaime begin to move around. "Turtle, you up?" Jaime asked. "Am now." Tony groaned. "Good...so we apparently got fresh meat coming in today. Girls." Jaime said. Tony knew he was grinning without even looking at him. "Hopefully they're hot." Tony mumbled as he got up.

"How's the damage?" Jaime asked. He was referring to the huge ass cigarette burn on Tony's arm. A lot of people try to kill themselves in this place every day. "Oh, you know...hurts but whatever." he shrugged.

The door opened and in walked Vic and his little brother Mike. "Hey dudes. Hear about the fresh meat that's coming in today?" Vic asked. "We were just talking about that." Jaime grinned. "I hope they're hot." Vic said. "I think we can all agree on that." Tony replied, recieving nods from his best friends.

Kennedy was practically dragged into New Seasons by Tasha, formally known as Kennedy's best friend, now known as bitch, and or fuckface.
"Kennedy, please." Tasha pleaded, "You have to do this. It's gonna help you."
Kennedy stifled a laugh, crossing her arms over her chest.
"You know what?" She asked, "I think that's a bunch of bullshit, because I don't have to do anything! I'm a 20 year old women and I can do as I please."
She then rolled her eyes, "But sense you've threatened to kick me out, I don't really have another choice, do I?"

Tasha sighs, "Kennedy. This is going to help, I promise."
Kennedy didn't try to stifle her laughs this time, letting them fall from her lips.
"Okay, now I know that you're bullshitting me." Kennedy erupts into more laughter, continuing when she was calm, "I know the only reason you don't want me at your apartment isn't for my own well being, but because I keep interrupting you and your boyfriend before you get it in."

Tasha's face flushed red, "Kennedy please, you're causing a scene."
Kennedy rolled her eyes, "Whatever. I'll pick up the rest of my stuff when I get out of here."
With that, she marched to the front and signed the already filled out papers.

-

Mike was never one to talk - as he was a bit shy and didn't enjoy having attention on himself - so when he heard his friends and brother talking about two new girls, he grew a bit nervous.
They knew of his anxiety, but never really seemed to take into consideration what he was feeling.

Mike realizes that there's a conversation going on around him - that they thought he was listening to - and nodded at whatever Tony said.

"Well then," Jaime starts, "Should we go introduce ourselves?"
At the end of the sentence, Jaime adds a wiggle of his eyebrows and they knew what he meant.
He wanted to greet them, meaning, that they would try to get onto to sleep with.

Mike thought they were stupid for being so straight forward, but nodded regardlessly.

Kyden finished filling out her papers and took them back up to the counter. "Well, Miss Winters, looks like you and Miss Flake will be roommates. Tyler can you show them their room?" the older lady said.

Tyler nodded, "sure thing." he looked at Kyden then Kennedy. "Ladies. Follow me." he said. Kyden groaned and picked her things up and followed.

--

"You just want to try to get in their pants." Tony rolled his eyes. "Well duh." Jaime said, earning a smirk from Vic.

"Boys, where are you going?" their group counselor Dr. Albright asked. "Foing to meet the new girls." Jaime said. Dr. Albright ahook his head, "the girls will be joining group today; you can meet them there. Speaking of, group starts in ten minutes so let's go."

Jaime and Vic sighed in frustration while Mike breathed a sigh of relief. Tony knew he was nervous about meeting new people especially girls. "It'll be okay, Mikey." he said as he followed them into group.

Kennedy picked up her things and followed the lady from behind the desk.
Kennedy groaned, turning back to glare at Tasha once more and flip her the bird.
Once she turned back around, she threw a glance to her new roommate.
She didn't say anything until they got into their room, and put her stuff to onesie of room.

"You ladies will be attending group therapy in 5 minutes." The receptionist started, "If you have any questions, feel free to ask me or any doctor you will see or work with."

With that, she lightly shut the door and left.

Kennedy rolled her eyes, "This blows."

-

Mike blinked, hearing Tonys words.
He hadn't even realized that he was holding his breath.
He offered a shrug and brushed past them and towards his room.
When in group, if you were late for more than 3 times, you would be forced to go in early at least once for three weeks and set up the room.
That had happened to Mike - Vic had been messing with him and had 'forgotten' to wake up Mike - and he had to be in there soon.

Kyden sighed. They had to wear some ugly looking clothes for group and all eating times. During rec time they could change into their own clothes. Kyden tossed the little booklet aside that explained the rules then looked over at the girl.

"I'm Kyden." she said softly, almost like a whisper but still loud enough for her to hear. She pulled her jeans and sweater off and pulled on the ugly blue pants with the equally ugly yellow t-shirt.

She hated this. Her arms had bruises, burn scars and deep cuts and scars. Not to mention her arm was the size of a five year olds. She slipped on the velcro shoes and pulled her red french braid to the side.

--

Tony was waiting outside of group with Vic, Jaime and the others. All the girls were huddled together whispering and giggling.

"It's like we're back in high school." Vic groaned. They had to wait until Mike got the room set up before they could go in.

"At least the chick's here are hot." Jaime said. "I agree but damn do they got sticks up their asses or what?" Vic said. Jaime just chuckled.

Tony didn't say anything, just stared off into space.

"I'm Kennedy." Kennedy gives a toothy grin, "You look like a nurse with that on."
She stripped out of her clothes and changed into the clothes that were provided. She groaned at how unflattering the clothes were,
"When did we have have group again?" She asked, untangled her blonde hair with her finger, throwing her beanie to the side.

-

Mike stepped out of the group room, and mumbled, "Everybody is welcome to go Inside now."
He didn't bother looking up from the ground and opened the door for everyone.
He glared at his brother, before taking a seat next on the right of Tony.

"In like five minutes...but it's taken us two minutes to get ready so we better go. I read that if you're late to group three times they make you come in for a week to set it up." Kyden spoke.

She followed Kennedy out and they began walking towards group. They saw a door close and figured that's where it was. The sign said "group therapy in session". Kyden sighed and opened the door.

--

Tony had just sat down when the door opened and two girls walked in. "Ah you two must be Kyden and Kennedy." Dr. Albright said. "Come in, come in...sit wherever." he was way too happy.

One of the girls sat down next to Tony and stared at the floor. The other sat beside her, also staring at the floor.

Kennedy followed behind Kyden, a slight skip on her step.
She didn't understand why she was here and she probably never would.
She didn't care though, at some point she would be able to check out right?

As she walked into the meeting room she felt a light scratching at her foot.
She decided to ignore it until she sat down.
She heard someone introduce her and roommate, before telling them to sit down.

Kennedy didn't really look who she sat to, she was just getting annoyed at the thing that was poking at her.
She looked down at her foot and sighed, seeing nothing there.

Although, she still felt the scratches,

-

Mike observes the two new girls.
He was curious, as they almost seemed normal.
Yeah, almost, but then he noticed that one was continuing to stare at her foot even though nothing was there, while the other was picking at her wrist.

His eyes focused mainly on the red-head.
He noticed that way she seemed uncomfortable and how she was tapping her foot a lot.

The thing he noticed the most was the way her attention was only on her wrist, and nothing could break it.

He looked away.

Kyden tuned out during the session and looked up as people began to leave. She looked over at Kennedy, about to ask her if she had been listening when the therapist spoke up.

"Mike, Tony...why don't you two show Kyden and Kennedy where the rec room and cafeteria is." Dr. Albright said.

Kyden looked over at two very attractive tattooed males. One had long hair and the other had shorter hair but they both seemed shy or nervous.

Everyone eventually left until it was just the four of them in an awkward silence.

--

Tony almost felt his heart stop at Albright's words. Show them around? Hell Tony can barely even look at girls without breaking into a nervous sweat.

He knew Mike was just as nervous. He caught a look of jealousy in Jaime's eyes before Vic pulled him out and sighed.

No one wanted to make the first move but someone had too or they'd be there all day. "I'm Tony and this is Mike.." he said. He didn't regconise his own voice and it sounded weird.

Kennedy looked up at the two boys, seeing how nervous that they were.
She was going to say something when one of them finally spoke up.
Afterwards she introduced herself, not really paying attention to her surroundings.
She followed them, tuning out the conversation that was going on.
She looked around when they arrived at the rec room, before getting bored with its plain appearance.

-

Mike nervously chewed on his bottom lip, not saying much, only making his input at some points.
He remained quiet as they walked down the slender hallways and into the rec room.
He looked at the Red-head and saw that she was bored with it.
He frowned, but looked away from her.

Mike didn't want to seem creepy to her, and tried to remain as calm as he could.

Kyden frowned. The rec room was pretty plain and boring. She looked at Mike when she noticed him looking at her. It was cute how he quickly looked away. She decided to talk to him, "so...what do you do during this rec time?"

--

Tony watched the red head speak to Mike. He looked at Kennedy, "you look bored." he tried. He couldn't help noticing how beautiful she was. She didn't look fucked up. She didn't have any marks on her like a lot of the girls, including Kyden. She was perfect in his eyes.

Mike was taken back by the surprise conversation.
He cleared his throat before answering, "I usually hang out with my brother and his friends."
He nervously crossed his arms over his chest and looked down at her with a small precautious smile.

-

Kennedy looked at him, and shrugged her shoulders.
"Everything is boring to me." She muses, picking at her nails.
She turns attention back to Tony and sees that he's nervous.
"You shouldn't be so nervous," Kennedy says, "It doesn't suit your face."
A bit straight forward, but she thought he would look better with a smile on his face.

Kyden tucked a piece of hair behind her ear and looked at him. "Well...maybe we can hang out..." she said. She thought it was cute that he was so nervous.

Tony couldn't help blushing and smiling at the same time. "You think so?" he asked, giving a half smile as he looked at her.

"S-sure." He agrees, a smile taking over his features.
He eyes her for a moment, fully taking in her appearance and he was definitely impressed. She somehow managed to look good in the uniforms they had.

-

Kennedy nodded, "Definitely."
She turned her attention back to her nails, when she felt the soft scratching at her foot again.
She frowned and looked down, once again seeing nothing.
Oh well, she thought, whatever the hell is scratching mes loss.

Kyden smiled, "awesome...I'm going to go change out of this ugly outfit then I'll meet you back here?" she gave him another smile.

Tony noticed her looking at her foot again like something was there. He wanted to ask why she was there, since she seemed normal, but didn't want to be rude. "Well I'm going to go change then I'll meet you back here? I'll introduce you to my roommate and Mike's brother."

Mike offers a faint nod and a weak, "O-okay."
He was surprised that this girl - a pretty girl, at that - wanted to hang out with him.
Once she was out of sight, he sped his way to his room and began to change into his own clothing options.

-

Kennedy shifted her weight from her left leg to her right.
She decided to glance up at Tony again and gave him a toothy grin.
"Why not? I've got nothin else better to do." She concludes, crossing her arms over her chest.
"I'll meet you back here after I change out of these nurses scrubs, okay?" She offers, already starting to retreat to her bed room.

Kyden threw the uniform on her bed and then slipped on black tights, high waisted acid washed shorts and a baggy black sweater, the sleeves going down over her hands. She pulled her Ugg boots on, she didn't care what people said because they were comfy as hell, and grabbed her iPod as Kennedy came in.

Vic leaned against the door watching his brother. "You totally like her." he teased.

Tony nodded then went back to his and Jaime's room to change. He pulled his hat on and walked out of the room, making his way back to the rec room.

Kennedy tore off her boring hospital type clothing and began to dress in her normal attire. She grabbed her favorite pair of red high-waisted shorts, pulling them on with little to no trouble. She then grabbed her baggy Mickey Mouse shirt and Fatal beanie. She first pulled the shirt over her head, adjusting it to fit onto her body correctly, before pulling the beanie onto her messy blonde locks. Finally, she grabbed a pair of spiked Doc Martens.
Kennedy pulled them over her feet, then grabbing her cell phone and heading back out to meet Tony once again.

Mike glared at his brother, but began to change. He peeled off the hospitals clothes and searched through his drawers. Finally, he found a pair of black skinny jeans, a red and black tank top and his Fatal SnapBack. He hurriedly put in his lip piercings, before changing rather quickly. He looked at his brother, "You coming?"

"What's she like?" Jaime asked rather bluntly, his attention completely on Tony. He had already changed into his own clothes and was currently tying his shoe laces.

Vic nodded, "I'll see you there." he said then went to change.

Kyden followed Kennedy back to the rec room. They had gotten there before the guys. Kyden sat down on one of the pleather sofas and turned her iPod on as she watched for Mike.

"She's sweet...I wonder why she's here though." Tony said as he tied his shoe laces. "I didn't see any scars on her like on Kyden." he said, standing up.
