" What day are you at?" My boyfriend asked me out of no where while we were cuddling on the couch watching a movie.
" Like clean?" I asked " Or on my period?"
" Clean." He said.
"23." I said.
" Wow really! That's so good babe!" He said smiling.
" Eh I guess." I said.
" What do you mean you guess, that is really good, you should be proud, I am." He said.
" It's hard to be proud when I know in my head that I don't want to be clean." I said .
" That's perfectly normal babe. You don't think an alcoholic just wants to be sober when they are starting out recovery, do you? No. They absolutely want a drink. It's the same thing with your self harm. Of course you wish you could do it because it helps you not feel all the things you are feeling right now. It's an addiction and there's nothing wrong with you craving the feeling it brings. Having those feelings shouldn't make you any less proud of yourself." He said while rubbing my arm.
" Thanks." I said. " I love you."
" I love you too." He said .
"Let's finish this movie and then we can go out to eat maybe." He said and I went to agree when his phone rang.
" Hello." He said . " What! Is she okay ? Okay, okay I'm leaving right now, love you, bye."
" What's wrong?" I asked as he stood up.
" My mom. She got into an accident and is in surgery at the hospital. That was my dad calling to tell me I need to go pick up my little sister from school because it just got out." He said frantically grabbing his keys.
" Breathe baby, give me the keys. I'm driving." I said and he obliged.
" Thank you." I said getting into his car , with him in the passenger seat , and driving to his sisters school. She was a freshman in high school and went to the same one I did so I knew exactly how to get there.
The drive was about 20 minutes with traffic and my boyfriend Kole was on edge the whole way. When we got there , his sister Sammy , was waiting on a bench . Kole unrolled the window and called to her.
" Let's go Sammy!" He yelled.
" Okay , okay , I'm coming. Where's dad ?" She asked as she got in the backseat and threw her bag in.
" Sammy , Mom got into an accident and is in surgery at the hospital right now. Dad is with her, he told me to come get you." Kole said cautious of how his tone would effect her.
" Is she going to be okay?" Sammy said crying.
" They don't know yet, but we're going to go to the hospital. I'm going to go talk with dad and you are going to stay in the car with Shayla until I come back down to get you guys." He said.
"But..." Sammy went to say.
" No buts. I don't want you in that environment until I know what's happening." He said sternly.
The hospital was only a couple miles away so we were there shortly and Kole practically jumped out and ran into the hospital.
Sammy and I sat in silence for a couple minutes before I spoke .
" Do you want to talk ? Or listen to music or something?" I asked her.
" No, I don't! Why are you even here ! You are not part of the family, you're just my brothers stupid girlfriend !" She said yelling at me.
