It was a few days later and Bella was back at the office as her phone started to ring. She picked up "Hello?" "Main reception speaking, a patient has went straight into the psych ward again, one of your patients." "Who?" "I can't say, he recently came back out." "Who?" "Bella, I know you don't want to know, but Harry's gone back into the psych ward." "What has he done?" "I can't say. Is he in Royal Sussex?" "Yes he is." Bella got her jacket and her bag, getting up. She walked out of work and to the hospital 12 minutes later.

She got there 12 minutes later, she walked through the car park, and walked inside to the mental health ward "I came as quick as I can, Jessica phoned me from the front desk, and told me Harry's in danger." "He's pretty bad, he's in the room across." Bella put her bag down in the staff room and walked out of the room, and walked into Harry's room, and walked over to him "Harry, I was told, what happened?" "My thoughts are getting too loud." "What did you do?" "I tried to Overdose again." "Oh Harry." Bella sat down next to Harry and held onto his hand "I'm so sorry, Bells." "Don't apologise, Harry, the thoughts got really loud and you couldn't take it much longer." "I couldn't take it any longer, I had to do it, no one was home." "You could've called me, I was just sorting out your mental health report. You know I can help you with these things." "I know, you're my CAMHS worker but I don't need your help all of the time." "Hey enough, do you think you might have depression?" "I'm not fucking depressed." Bella got up, walking out.

She walked in the staff room, getting her phone, calling Narcissa "Darling, I thought you're at work?" "I'm not, Harry overdosed again, I tried telling him he may be depressed but he doesn't believe me." "Okay, are you going to move him shortly?" "They're going to move him in a few minutes. I had to drive as quick as I can to get here and pull up and run in when I found out from him, he had overdosed." "Okay, do you need me to bring anything?" "Are you in the area?" "Not at the moment, but I can come down and get some clothes for Harry without strings or zips." Bella heard moving from the corridor and the door opened "Jodie, what do you need?" "Harry's being sick." "Oh shit okay, mum I need to go." "Alright, let me know when Harry's okay." "I will." The two hung up the phone. 

Bella rushed into the room, and Harry had his head over a bucket. Bella walked over to him and rubbed his back slowly "It's okay, it's all coming out of your system. I will probably trigger you but what did you take?" "Paracetamol." "Okay." Harry felt himself going dizzy as he spat into the bucket. Bella threw it out, giving him a tissue to wipe his mouth. He threw it in the bin. "Are you okay?" "I'm dizzy." Harry laid down on the bed after Bella told him to. Harry looked up at her "I don't want to be taken in." "You have to, this is your second attempt, don't act like it's nothing. Do you want to be sectioned?" "N-No." "Exactly, please try to not attempt again." "I'll try." "Thank you." Bella helped Harry up "Let's get you moved, but first, do you need the toilet?" "No." "Okay." The two walked into the other ward, and Bella unlocked a door.

She got Harry settled in the room. Harry sat on the bed "It feels so similar but it isn't the same room as last time." "I know, it does but it isn't the same room though as this room has a different design." "Okay." Harry looked at Bella "You okay at the moment?" "Yeah. Sort of." "Okay." "There was a point when I got up this morning, I kept thinking, I don't know how Bella would feel if I did this again." "I'm not upset, I'm in slight shock, but I'm not upset." "You're not upset with me?" "No, Harry. It's good someone called me when they could or otherwise it'll be too late and you'd be dead when I would've got here." "Okay." Bella sat on the bed, and placed her hand on Harry's leg "How long will I be here for?" "It depends, months or weeks." "Okay." Bella nodded, looking at Harry.

It was 3 weeks later and Bella was walking to Harry's room in the ward and he was sitting at his table drawing. She closed the door, and walked up to him "Hi," "Hey." "What are you drawing?" "I'm colouring." "Can I see?" "Sure." Bella got a chair from outside, and sat next to him "How are you doing in yourself?" "I'm okay." "I spoke to Alex who was head of the ward, and she said that you can't go until you show that you're okay." "But I'm okay right now aren't I?" "How about I change your bedding to our spare Winnie the Pooh bedding? I have it in the car." "Umm, sure. Can we go to the sensory room first?" "Of course, we can do our 1:1 in there if you want?" "Okay." Harry got up "I'll let you get out of your pyjamas and into some comfy clothes and we'll go." Harry got some clothes out which were white joggers and a black short sleeved top.

Bella walked out of the room, to let Harry get himself dressed first. Alex walked up to Bella "Is Harry doing okay?" "Yeah, we're about to do our 1:1 session, but he's getting dressed first." "Okay, good." Bella walked into the room and he was in the bathroom, brushing his teeth. She walked back out "He seems okay to be discharged." "Are you sure?" "I'm pretty sure." Bella walked to the front desk "Can I get discharge papers for Harry please?" "Of course." Bella got them printed off, and walked in the room where Harry was getting his things sorted "Do you have a pen handy?" "No, there's one in your hair." Bella got it out of her messy bun, and handed it to Harry "Go on." Harry signed them "From being sectioned for a month, I can now go home and into my own bed." "I changed our bedding by the way to our grey butterfly one." "Okay." Harry looked up at Bella with a smile.

10 minutes later, they were home, and Bella unlocked the door and walked in with Harry behind and Narcissa was in the kitchen. Harry took off his shoes, walking in the kitchen and Narcissa hugged him tight. Harry hugged her back, and pulled away "How are you doing?" "I'm doing well. I need a nap and a strong cup of coffee, hospital coffee is not good, it's watery." Harry walked upstairs with Bella. Bella got into her pyjamas and Harry got under the covers. Bella got under with him, and laid her head on his chest. Harry stroked her hair slowly as she smiled into his chest. Harry lifted her up, and removed his top for Bella to be more comfortable.

Harry placed a kiss to her forehead as Narcissa came in with a cup of coffee and tea for Bella. Harry sat up, and took a sip of his coffee, and swallowed, "Thank you." Bella took a sip of her tea "Thank you mum." Harry smiled and kissed her lips softly "I'm still wearing the grippy socks." Bella laughed, looking at Harry and then she began to get the giggles. Harry placed one hand on her back. Harry smiled at her golden retriever energy, and saw how close she was getting to Harry, knowing that he was home now "If you end up doing anything again, I'm taking off my wedding ring as from that, the chances are up, and I'm getting divorce papers." "No, don't. Just because I have bad mental health doesn't mean we're going to divorce." "Harry, I am joking with you. I would never divorce or break up with you." Bella cuddled back up to Harry, hoping nothing would happen to them in their relationship.
