Chapter 1

Chapter 1.

Beating hard. That's what my heart is doing right now. Now I can't guarantee that it will stop anytime soon, all because today is the day, where I'll be determined whether I am ready to go home or not.

After 2 months of being away from home and staying at the Everson Love for all home, I , for the first time, in a long time, I am quite not sure of how things will be this time.

This is the 3rd time now that I've been at this place. The Everson Love for all home. This is a place of recovery , I speak for the depressed, the suicidal, those in need to be heard and helped. Being me, I've dealt with alot and have been helped with most, yet still here I am, for the third time.

For the most part of my life, I've not known much of that emotion or feeling rather, called happiness.

It's not that I'm a miserable person but what gets thrown at me or what I usually endure at most, is the very same reason that I get pulled into that dark place that consumes me at most.

In the beginning, mom gave reason to every action and reaction as some phase, a normal teenager went through. Time passed on and surely, the signs would be evident to avoid and that's how my journey of being admitted into this home began, now that this is the third time, I'd refer myself as a regular, I mean why not?

" We're ready for you, " Vicky says.

I give a nod before getting up and walking over to the door, where I wait for her to let me pass through but she doesn't, only further blocking my way.

She places her hand on my shoulder, and looking into her chocolate brown, friendly eyes, I see hope, the kind of hope that I should hold onto as I am about to meet my fate.

Almost hopeless, that was never me before, I had envisioned so much for myself yet my downfall hit me hard, right when my father passed. A piece of me cracked, opening an in for every other unwanted feeling to swallow me whole, leaving me in a blur of what my life used to be.

" Think positive." Vicky tells me.

" I will." I try to force a small smile but my mouth is too stubborn to move.

" Let's go."

Well the time is now.

I follow behind Vicky , who clutches the check up board to her chest and I can't help but be quite curious of the big red bold words, written on the top of the board.

My curiosity doesn't last for long when we make a turn and head up a flight of stairs. Ascending up the stairs, I'm weighed down by the dread of meeting Dr Anthon.

Reaching her office , Vicky knocks on the door, with a few seconds of waiting , Doctor Anthon calls for us to enter and once we do, I hold my breath.

Blonde pinned up hair into a bun, light blue eyes and full lips and of course enthroned on her huge leather chair is Doctor Anthon. You might think that she is some form of maleficent but no, she's a peoples person and quite good at what she does.

At first meet, one would be intimidated by her calculating eyes, yet when you stay clear and on the low like I have, one is free from being prodded about their feelings.

Vicky is another story, she, with her tanned skin, dark chocolate eyes, short brown hair and the most welcoming smile, I was grateful that she was my assigned guardian from the beginning. Ever since then we have been pretty close and we've tried to not show much signs of how close we are, as to not be separated, but I think Doctor Anthon knows already and just lets us have free reign.

" Bailey?" My mother's voice pulls me out of my thoughts.

Before I can say anything, she pulls me in for a hug and it takes me a few seconds to respond, not that I don't want to but because for just a second there, such an action felt foreign.

A sound breaks the moment , just when I was familiarizing myself with my mothers touch. My mother takes a step back from me, still remaining within arms length.

Taking our seats , she takes a hold of my hand and I let her, because she'll need something to hold onto, once the bad news have been delivered.

"Let's get to business shall we?"

Doctor Anthon leans her arms forward on the table, both her eyes, moving between me and my mom.

" Bailey, I've decided ....." Here comes the bad news.

" You can go home." Or not.

I don't know how to feel, having heard what I heard 30 minutes ago. My mom was a different story, because she looked quite happy yet relieved.

You see, my mother can't fathorm the thought of being on her own, me being admitted back at the home, always stirred up that little fear of being alone, unless she was seeing someone.

Returning back home, I'd set myself into filling that void which had her hanging on by a thread in my presence.

" Just a few more days and you are out of here." Vicky says behind me, but I'm too preoccupied to even pay attention to her.

One may be wondering about this sudden distraction, and no it's not a bird nor a plane, but a tall being with a grey beanie, which covers most of his head. Just a peek of dark hair remains and it makes me curious of what he looks like, without it.

Broad shouldered, lean with a hint of both confidence and michievious vibes, he is wearing long dark jeans, a grey hoodie with a red top peeking out a bit. He looks quite annoyed to be here and I can't blame him, this place is as quiet as a deserted city.

" Did you hear me?" Vicky says and I jerk back around to face her.

" Huh?"

" I said that I don't want to see you here again."

" I won't come back." I tell her.

" Good." She gives me a small smile before heading out.

I'm planning on not coming back and actually try to put effort in my life, rather then have people doing it for me.

Alright , now that she's gone where was I?......Oh yeah the guy.

I look out at my window again and no no, no......

Right in line with my window is him, no more is he chatting with his company but staring, back at me.

I instantly freeze for a few seconds before I take action and step aside behind the wall, right next to the window.

No, he couldn't have seen me, I mean my room curtains are quite dark and it will take an amount of concentration to actually see someone.

Out of sheer curiosity again, I peek my head to the window only to find him gone. A sigh of relief leaves past my lips. I move away from the window, walking on to my bed, with only one thought.

That was different.

Chapter 2
Only 3 more days until I'm out of here and like I'd hoped, I might actually spend my summer at home this time.The first time I'd been admitted here, was during Summer and I had the same reaction as the boy from yesterday. Anger, frustration and much more was within me, believing that my mom was ditching me for a solo life and for her life to become easier. Time passed and I started to see things differently, I realised by me being away, my mom got lonely.This resulted to her searching for attention elsewhere and gosh, what poor choices she made.Talking about that boy from yesterday, like I'd thought, he was part of the newbies. He wasn't a happy guy, well who is when their parent sends them to a recovery center, identifying that you have a problem when you believe other wise.After that small moment I had with him, more like a mistake, I never saw him again, even through supper he never showed.

Chapter 3.
My patience is wearing thin with how long he's been holding out on me, we have remained in silence for quite a while now and that makes me want him to leave soon." So , titanic huh?" Okay, definetly not what I expected but I'll take what I can get , rather then this torturous silence.All I do is frown at him but that doesn't seem to affect him the slightest." So, not a big fan of it?" He tries again." No." I say quickly." Why not?" He is stalling, of course he is." Too sad."Before he can even say anything else, I blurt out the same question in frustration." Why are you in my room?"" Needed an escape from that suffocating room." He says, making my frown to deepen." All rooms are the same, so I see no difference in you coming here." I point out.He keeps silent, movi

Puzzle pieces are splattered all in front of me and I've got 5 pieces stuck in together. This is the slowest I've gone and that sucks, since I love puzzles and of course I'm not feeling it.Tonight is game night and thank goodness we aren't doing those group games, I definetly would have sucked as a game partner.My arm outstretches on the table, to take a piece which I believe is the right one and once my fingers enclose around it, a shadow blocks my view. My eyes rise from my hand to what's in front of me, more like who is in front of me. I'm instantly struck by emereld green eyes which are looking down at me.He reaches out his hand to touch mine and out of instinct, I jerk my hand away from him, resulting to me dropping my puzzle piece.With this reaction, his brows pull closely together and that only makes me want to disappear. With no invitation whatsoever, he pulls out a chair from the opposit

Chapter 5.
Brown curly hair, black eyes and coloured skin, that's me, a girl with a tiny body from bony to inches of improvement, I'm mixed race with my mom black and my dad Caucasian.I was always a slender but never bigger, only got smaller until my bones showed, all because of me being locked up in a cage and almost, and I mean almost reaching a place of no return.Things happen and people change, well it depends on what form of change it is, whether it's good or bad, drastic or over exaggerated and if it's deadly or not. In my life, I've had good things happen in my life but only a few, most of the things had either been bad or negative. It was usually caused by the people who came into my life, took whatever they wanted and left me to put myself back together again.Things would seem okay for a while and I'd reach that moment of hope, for my life to turn out good, but fate had other plans for me when it was no more people

Chapter 6.
" You're up quite early today." Vicky comments." I'm always early." I say, busy trying to fix up my hair while staring out the window.We remain in silence for a while and after tying my hair up, I turn to face her. She's sitting on my bed, doing nothing but just staring at me." Only one more day left." She says." One more day." I agree.With the silence stretching between us, I go back to sitting on my bed and lean against the wall, now facing her. She shifts a bit so she's now facing me and all we do is keep on passing looks to each other, as if both of us are waiting for each one to say something first." I heard from a little birdie that you had company last night."Patrick.Honestly I'm not really surprised she asked this, because with Vicky, she can't help but want to know things that may concern me. By this, it is

Chapter 7.
Nothing could have prepared me for this, being on the rooftop with a guy I barely know.I mean why did he bring me here, wait, he doesn't want to murder me does he?Looking around, I notice the small green house, having been placed right at the center, along with benches, pot plants etc.Wow someone has been busy. I'm greatly in awe of the view that one is able to see from up here." Cool right?" He says while he moves about.I don't say anything but just look around before I decide to take a seat on the bench, so I can actually take this all in." Wow." I say to myself." Wow indeed." My head whips to Connor who is now taking a seat next to me." How did you -"" I have my ways." He says confidently." We shouldn't be here." I remind him." I know

Chapter 8.
Nothing seems to want to come out of my mouth when there's a staring match happening, between the three of us.Thank heavens Vicky is the first one to break the silence. " You have been called by Doctor Anthon." She tells Connor who gives me a sideways glance before he turns on his heel and walks away.Now being left with Vicky, I decide to not fall back into that silence and go inside my room, where she follows behind and I won't be surprised if she questions me of my whereabouts.I throw myself on the bed and stare at the ceiling, letting my body weight to take over. The silence still remains between us and I decide to sit upright on the bed. I see her standing by the door, watching me." New friend?" She finally asks.I shrug, getting up off the bed and walking over to my closet, to search for something to change into. I finally find what I'm looking for, which is a short sleeved grey shirt. I turn to face Vicky ."Is h

Chapter 9.
My feet are too slow today, it's like they are made of steel or something and I'll explain why I feel this way. All the way from my room, down to the reception area, I have been dragging my feet and it's not by choice but my feet which are like rooted to the ground.It's as if they don't want to move at all while my mom is moving about normally. I watch her talking to doctor Anthon, who's standing by my mom's car with her arms behind her back, giving off a more relaxed and content like expression while she listens to my mom blabber about God knows what.When I said that my feet are too slow I meant it, I'm still standing in the front door, staring at my mom and doctor Anthon.A soft hand touches my shoulder and I already know who it is. I watch the two ladies for a bit, being busy in conversation."You know how bad I am with goodbyes, so I won't say it."" I know." I tell Vicky.

Chapter 10.
Nothing seems worse then what I had experienced 10 minutes ago. I woke up with me in the emergency room where I was bombarded by people, oh and not just any people, Mom, Vicky, Doctor Anthon and a doctor .I got both a scold and hug from my mom, the doctor telling me of my sugar levels being low and me being dehydrated, oh and that I need to get the necessary foods since my body was still very much small, whatever that meant. Doctor Anthon was just Doctor Anthon, who said a few words apart from Vicky who has not spoken anything.So now it is two hours later and I am sitting on the bed that I was lying on and my mom is just standing by the window, refusing to look at me while we wait for Doctor Anthon to come in." I'm sorry." That's all I manage to say which almost sounds like a whisper.My mom shifts slightly and looks at me. Looking at her now, I see both concern and a bit of hurt deep within. Now
