“Adrian never recovered after the loss of his dear friend. I am not sure if he has any family, he never talks about parents, brothers or sisters; it looks as if his dead friend was the only guy that ever cared for him. Eventually Adrian found us, a bunch of misfits, lonely teens, each with our sad lives, and we all hung out together, because Adrian kept us together, gave us a purpose and it made us feel like we’re a family. I’m the “baby” of the group, the little guy that always has to be protected; they tutor me, feed me, and rarely let me go on “missions”, obviously. When I get sick I have to be taken care; when I get injured, they have to fix me. I feel like I have five big brothers, and, even though I miss a mother and a father, I am not alone in this world.”

“Bam!” the door screams in fear as the moving bed and the doctors run through. Blinding white lights stab my eyes mercilessly. I try to open my mouth. I scream, “Let me out! What’s going on? Why am I here?” but no one is listening. They don’t even hear me cry. I am kicking and yelling and pushing, but nothing’s happening. People stare at me, tears glistening on their faces. My eyes blink rapidly as I search the room for comfort. I stare at the faces I know. “Mother! Father! What’s happening? Why? Where am I?” “Help me! I am scared! I need to be rescued…from what?” I drift into an abyss that chains me forever. I am a rock. I”
