Her Saviour

Chapter 17

 Rehab: do you feel scared to go back home?

Tessa: no i actually cannot wait to get home and back to a normal life.

Rehab: do you think you will ever take drugs again?

Tessa: no

Rehab: how do u feel within yourself considering what you went through was traumatic.

Tessa: yes what i went through i wouldn't wish on anyone but i can't change the past all i know is i dont need drugs nor want them i just want so what of my normal life again, im taking my meds every day and i just wanna go home.

Rehab: well after some thought i think you can go home today yes its 3 days early but i think it's time also is there anyone u want us to call for u?

Tessa: no thank you.

Rehab: well take care bye tessa. * i call lucy*

The call

Rehab: *rings* Hi, is this lucy?

Lucy: Who is speaking ?

Rehab: hi lucy its gigi from the rehab team just letting you know miss young has been discharged but didn't want anyone to know but as i follow protocol i must let you know.

Lucy: *now this is strange * right okay that's fine thank u for letting me know also how was she ?

Rehab: fine eager to leave but seems happy, i hope all works out bye

Lucy: thanks bye. * I wonder what's going on as tessa has been through a traumatic time and this is strange as she was due to come back before being released but I'll give her 48 hours and if she doesn't come in I'll send someone to go check on her.

Tessa: i get a taxi home and i stand at the door and think shit the locks have been changed wait luna has a key under her front door mat so i quickly but sneakily manage to get the key and i open the door go in lock and barricade the door i hunt the booze and go up stairs to my now new room and drink.

I check my mobile and see 19 miss calls and 25 missed texts nearly all from hardin.

4 DAYS Pass.

Hardin: *i speak with luna and she says she hasn't heard from tessa at all but the last she heard was she was doing fine in rehab i go on my break and go see if i can speak with lucy * hi lucy do you have 5 mins while i'm on my break i need to talk to u ?

Lucy: yeah sure * we enter a side room * whats up?

Hardin: Now what's really going on with tessa?

Lucy: she asked me not to say anything, but she was released from rehab around 3-4 days ago but she was meant to come see me within 48 hours but it's now been 3 days and i haven't seen nor heard from her either what about you?

Hardin: I haven't heard anything either and the last time I spoke with Luna she hadn't heard either. Maybe give her a ring and let me know what's said. I have to go back to work but thanks.

*meanwhile lucy calls luna*

Luna: hi lucy, whats up?

Lucy: have you heard or seen tessa in the past 3 days?

Luna: no unfortunately not but wait hang on *i run and check to see if the new house key is still where i left it shit its gone* hi umm just so u know can u also let hardin know the new house key is gone as well so i can only think tessa has gone back home alone which i can only assume is bad

Lucy: I will go find hardin 'and we will come over now. * 7 minutes later in the ambulance bay * hardin i yell

Hardin: lucy whats up?

Lucy: Put it this way you may wanna book a few months off work. We know where tessa may be and if I'm correct it's not gonna be good.

Hardin: okay *13 minutes later * i have been signed off paid work till further notice so i can help u my boss was so understanding once i explained everything, lets go we take my car and head over to the house and meet Luna there waiting outside.
