We don't belong here

Jacks POV

They didn't even bother looking for me so after an hour I went back into the hospital and went back to Alex.

I was lost in thought when the door opened the the woman came in.
"What you doing back here?" She asked.
"I don't want to leave him." I said quietly.
"You have to go back. They'll be looking for you." She said.
"I'm not going back!" I said loudly which made her jump.
"Look for me? Don't make me laugh, they walked straight past me without a second glance. So I don't think they will be looking for me." I said.
She sat on the bed and looked at me.
"You look like you need a good nights sleep." She said.
"I don't need sleep. I need to make sure he's going to be okay." I said.
"You do need sleep as you have a lot of explaining to do tomorrow when you go back. He will be okay, I'll look after him for you." She said.
"I'm not going back! Do you have any idea what it's like in that shithole!" I said loudly and got up.
"I have no idea what it's like but its for the best for you. Look at yourself your a fucking state right now. You can come home with me and have some good food and have a good nights sleep and then you will go back. Because you are in no fit state to be here, you need to be somewhere where they can keep an eye on you." She said.
I just gave the fight up as I wasn't getting anywhere with it.
"Fine." I said quietly which shocked her.
"Say goodbye to Alex and we'll go home." She said and got off the bed and walked out the room.
"Whatever you fucking do don't bloody die on me. I'll see you at some point but I dunno when since I'm currently missing in action. And I can see why you do it because it's fucking fun." I said.
"Wake the fuck up and I'll see you soon." I said and walked out the door.

We walked to the biggish looking house.
"Now here the rules, if you hear anything in this house you do not repeat it to anyone not even Alex. Don't get on the wrong side of anyone. Don't go out of the house once it is dark. Those are the rules. Don't break them." The woman said and we walked in.
I felt like a foreigner in my own country as everyone was speaking Russian.
Well the group of kids which was sat on the stairs where anyway.
They looked up when they saw the woman and the glared at me.
"Don't be so rude girls. This is Jack and he is a friend of Alex's." She said.
The kids got up and went off somewhere.
"Rude little bitches." She said quietly.
A man came out.
He said something in Russian.
"He's not staying here,for one night so he can at least have some decent food and have a good nights sleep." She said.
"Who the fuck he anyway?" He asked and looked me up and down.
"He's from the same place as Alex. He is a friend of his and he has escaped from there for one night but he's hoping back tomorrow." She said and looked at me.
"Doesn't look like the sort of person Alex would be friends with." A woman said.
"And your just gonna judge me because of how I look?" I asked.
"Christ another American that's all we need." She said and rolled her eyes and walked off somewhere.
"Wait you in nut house as well?" The man asked.
"Yeah." I said.
"Then why you not there?" He asked.
"Because I didn't want to go back and a friend needed me." I said.
"Alex isn't your friend!" Someone else said and walked out.
"Oh is it 3 Russians against 1 American what a fair fucking fight that is." I said sarcastically.
"And for your information I am Alex's friend. Because you lot are doing such a fucking good job on being there for him! I mean I've been in that shithole for nearly 5 months and not once have I seen or heard any fucking Russian people." I said.
"We have reasons not to see him!" The man said.
"Tate don't say another word." The woman said.
"How many more buttons do I have to push for you too spill the beans because by the looks of things its not very many." I said.
"Christ he must be a friend of Alex's because he wouldn't be friendly with a weakling." The woman said.
"Weak? Don't make me fucking laugh." I growled.
"Enough all of you! Gerard take Jack upstairs he can have Alex's room." The old lady from the hospital said.
"He's not having his room!" Tate said.
"Well Alex isn't gonna use it since he's in a hospital bed!" I said.
They all looked at me.
"Oh she hasn't told you? Yeah well Alex tried to kill himself, in front of me, now he's in hospital which is why I'm not in the nut house." I said and the last part was said in a very bad attempt of a Russian accent.
"Gerard take Jack upstairs now! You two the kitchen now." The old woman said and walked off.
"This way." Gerard said and I followed him up the stairs.

We got to what I think was Alex's room.
"Just ignore them, they don't like new people coming in especially if their American." He said and walked into the room which I followed him in.
"Great." I muttered to myself and looked round the room.
"Is Alex really in hospital?" He asked quietly.
"Yeah, wouldnt of said he was if he wasnt." I said and sat on the bed.
Gerard came over and sat on the bed next to me.
"What happened?" He asked quietly.
"I dont want to talk about it. Things are bad enough as it is without talking about that and triggering myself more than what I am at the moment." I said quietly.
"Was you in that place with Alex?" He asked.
I nodded.
"What's it like in there?" He asked.
"Become fucked in the head then you will know what it is like in there." I said.
"What's wrong with you?" He asked.
"Stop asking so many fucking questions will you!" I shouted.
Gerard looked down and looked back at me again.
"I'm sorry." I said quickly.
"It's fine. Rest up, food will be up at 9." He smiled and got up and left me on my own.

I got up and looked round the room.
There was a photo by the bed.
I looked at it and saw it was a picture of Alex and a really pretty girl.
His room was really small considering he had a double bed, which felt like heaven compared to the beds back at the hospital.
I yawned really loudly and got comfy on the bed and was fast asleep before I could fight the sleep.
