*~*~*Our Usual Disclaimers & Warning*~*~*
We want to welcome you into chapter two.
Thank you so much for reading chapter one.
Disclaimer: We do not own Twilight, How to Be, Little Ashes, Remember Me, Bel Ami, Unbound Captives, Vanity Fair, Curse of the Ring, The Summer House, Goblet of Fire, The Bad Mother's Handbook, Cosmopolis, Water for Elephants, or The Haunted Airman. Further, we do not own, nor are we affiliated with any of the faux cast we created on this blog. However, Robert Pattinson and I have been in a fake relationship for nearly five years now, he totally owns me, and DJ is running away with Jackson Rathbone as soon as he arrives to collect her. (Which I, DJ, hope is really soon.) Lastly, we were not paid to write this story but we did have a lot of great conversations and laughs so, you know, it evens out. We do not condone any of the behaviour in this story. It is a story and for entertainment purposes only.
Warnings: This story deals with graphic material, ranging from sexual situations, mature language, and, instances of abuse up to and including homicide. Rest assured, nothing was put in for the sake of shock value. All things have a time and place under heaven, or so I've been told.
Characters: Our characters, while represented by real actors, are entirely fictional. You should in no way infer that anything we've said about our character in personality or action applies to the person we have chosen to represent said character. We like to think we are casting directors and chose the person based on talent and ability to play the light and dark side of each character. (And the nerd in me just realized that I used a Star Wars term there. D'OH!)

*~*~*Characters*~*~*
Dr. Carlisle Cullen
Dr. Cullen could never be played by anyone other than Peter Facinelli. But rather than picturing him as the blonder, more serious Cullen, I see him as more of a guy who can relax once in a while... make a joke or just have a discussion that isn't one hundred percent serious...
aka Dr. Cooper from Nurse Jackie.
But don't get me wrong, Carlisle is still the caring man that we know and love from the Twilight Saga. He cares deeply for his patients and staff. He has their best intentions at heart. He'd be damned if someone can't be happy because of some limitation. He'd bend over backwards to make sure they were all happy in life.
Jasper Whitlock
Dearest Jasper... aka Jackson Rathbone (because there will NEVER be another Jasper IMHO... this is the fangirl talking. IJM might have different ideas). He's still that soldier we love that has the biggest heart in Texas... Or even Forks, Washington. He was dealt a wrong hand when he was sent to war in the Middle East.
The stress of all that death, war, and personal secrets took on a toll on his psychological well being. In order to escape the stresses, his mind shut down. It took him back to a simpler time when men were gentleman and soldiers. In his mind, he lives life as a soldier in the Texas Confederate Army. And, he's happy. Isn't that all we wanted for Jasper?
Mary Alice Brandon
She is eighteen going on eight. After being abandoned by her parents, she has reverted back to her childhood, becoming the ultimate "Peter Pan Pixie". There is something wholly innocent about her, seeing only the good in everyone. And while she does resist growing up, she will admit to liking Jasper... possibly even like-liking Jasper. Maybe.
Emmett McCarty
What can you say about him? He's as big as a bear, and probably as soft and cuddly as a toy one. His jovial, laid-back personality just wins you over from the get go. But as fun and friendly as Emmett can be, you have got to know that when the time comes, he can barrel you down with brute force. It makes him the perfect orderly/NP (That's Nurse Practitioner) for the S. Meyer Ward of Forest Meadow.
Rosalie Hale
Like her character in Twilight, Rose has been through a great deal and reflects that bitterness outward. She's so unhappy with herself and her life that she sincerely cannot see how other people can be happy. She sees them as vulnerable and stupid as she waits for curtain to fall from the charade of joy. She believes it always does and that is the only thing guaranteed in life.
However, she is a fighter and I feel that her spirit matches that of Magdalena in Little Ashes. She does what she has to do--no regrets.
Mike Newton
He suffers from emotional trauma and acts out against people he views that are weaker than him. His father ran off before he was two; his mother is a druggie who never really cared about him -- probably because he looks too much like his father. He was just brought up that way... and Dr. Cullen thought he could really help him. Unfortunately, Mike refuses that help. While he is mentioned in this chapter, he doesn't show until much later.
Eric Yorke
He has been mentally unstable his whole life, but had only recently been diagnosed with schizophrenia. He has mild states where interactions with others are calm and normal, but when he gets around someone wild or something agitates him, he is violent and dangerous. If I were to write a whole story based on this Eric Yorke, I would definitely cast Heath Ledger in the role. He was fantastic at embracing the crazy in a character (the Joker especially).
Riley Biers
Riley plays the janitor in our little story. We'll learn more about him later.
Mrs. Cope
Cafeteria manager extraordinaire. While kind-hearted, she's seen it all and she's not impressed much like her role in the Harry Potter movies.
Demetri
Another orderly, who really isn't as active on our floor as originally intended, but is still present. I couldn't see him not in our story at all. He's a rather quiet fellow, who does his job perfectly.
*~*~*Location*~*~*
S. Meyer Wing, 5th floor
Forest Meadow Mental Health Facility
Forks, WA
This is the type of place they want to hide you in from the rest of the world because they don't want you around. You're an embarrassment. Dr. Cullen says he can help make you right. Yeah, as if that could ever happen for me. As soon as things happen beyond my control, he ships me off to another floor, another ward. He was just like all the rest. It didn't surprise me.
Just because I told Rosalie I'd slit her throat if she ever denied me again. Bitch! That's alright. While I sit in a small room in solitary, I am counting the moments until I can see her once again.
Damn I miss my old wing. I miss seeing her... She was so pretty...
