Traveling Through Darkness

Chapter 5

     "Why didn't you tell me?" Mom had been on me the whole ride home. The medicine wouldn't be ready to pick up for a couple more hours so we headed home.

"Why not Abella?" I shrugged slightly and stared out of the window.

"Are you going to shut down now?"

As if I was in a loop I shrugged again without thinking.

"Come on Abella..."

It was silent for a few minutes while I waited to find the right words. I cleared my throat quietly then started. "Guess I was just scared..."

I hear her sigh softly. "But you know you can tell me anything right?"

I nodded subtly. Can you though? What if she ships you off to the funny farm? Shut up Timor. I thought sternly. "I'll be fine." I nodded to reassure her.

She didn't say anything then suddenly said "The doctor gave me the name of a therapist and you're going to go see her, her name is Amund Jones."

"Sure..." I nodded not really knowing what to say.

She pulled into the driveway and parked. "Are you hungry?"

I slowly pulled my body out of the car. I shook my head subtly. "Not really."

We stepped into the house and I headed towards my room. "I love you."

"Love you too," I muttered back. Opening the door I walked slowly over to my bed and plopped into it. Closing my eyes I tried to fall asleep. Sleeping is much better than all the thoughts of my brain trying to push their way out. Still can't believe she brought me to the hospital....She probably thinks you're crazy...Stupid just go to bed... it's so loud in my mind just shut up. Music? Yes, that could work. I forced my hand to move towards my phone and headphones. Shoving them into my ears I clicked play on my playlist. "Lifes alright in devil town...yeah right no ones gonna catch us now..." I sang softly under my breath, then my mind went blank.

If you're curious, the song she's singing is "Devil Town" by Cavetown
