When Wilbur and nick left Lisa and Jana came back into my room. They told me that I was being put on psychiatric hold for next 48 hours. They were looking for a psych ward to place me in. My family slept in the hospital room with me, I shared the bed with colby. In the morning dad had to go back to work. Jana and Lisa called into their jobs sick. Mom and colby left to go home and get some real rest. Lisa and Jana played board games with me while we listened to music. Around lunch time Nikki and Cara came to visit.
"Did Wilbur tell you guys I was here?" I asked the two
"Yeah he texted me like two hours ago, my boss wouldn't let me leave so I had to wait for the end of my shift" Cara said while handing me a bag
"My boss is my mom so I get away with randomly leaving" Nikki smiled
Nikki and Cara introduced them selves to Jana and Lisa while I opened the bag. It was a turtle stuffed animal. I like turtles.
"Where's Wil?" I asked Nikki
"He's.. he's just tired. Said he needed some rest before he could come visit again" she said awkwardly
"Oh."
The rest of the day was filled bye Nikki and Cara talking to Lisa and Jana about being a lesbian in this town, though, Nikki said she was pan sexual not lesbian. I enjoyed listening to them talk about gay bars and the most inclusive places in town. At dinner the nurse that was watching me, lia, basically force feed me the horrible hospital food. Cara and Nikki we're forced to leave around 6:30. Jana and Lisa offered to stay the night but I wanted to be alone for a little while.
The second day of being in the hospital was the worst. Mom and dad brought me home to pack one bag. I grabbed three of my favorite shirts, a pair shorts and a pair of pants, the photos of me and my siblings, my favorite pair of vans, and one of mias blankets. When they brought me back to the hospital they told me that I was going to be transferred to an psychiatric hospital in the morning. I mostly just watched the same three shity networks the hospital had on their tvs. I fell asleep before dinner and no one woke me up to eat.
At about 5:30 in the morning I was woken up by my nurse and my mom. They made sure all of my stuff was packed in one bag. They had me get dressed. They brought me to a van that had the hospital's logo on it. They said I could call my friends and say bye. I called Wilbur first.
"Hello?" His voice sounded dead
"Wil?"
"Karl!"
"Hey I'm being brought to a psych ward, they said I could say bye to all my friends first."
"Shit, I could get Nikki and Cara and the others. We can say good bye in person"
"Yeah that would be nice"
"Okay ill see you soon. I-"
He hung up before finishing his sentence. I called Alex next.
"Hey Alex-"
"Karl! Is everything okay? Do you need me to come to the hospital?"
"Alex I'm fine. I'm being transferred to a psychiatrist hospital. I just wanted to say bye"
"Oh"
"Yeah. Uhm. Well- bye I guess. I'll see you in a few months hopefully"
"Yeah, see you in a few months"
I hung up and called nick. It rang a few times before he answered.
"Karl? You have your phone?"
"Yeah I'm just calling to say good bye"
"Good bye?"
"Im going to a psych ward. I just wanted to say bye to you. You're the first friend I made in this town."
"Oh uh, yeah. How long are you going to be gone?"
"I don't know, they say three months most likely but it could take longer"
"..."
The phone hung up. About two minutes after that wilbur pulled up in his stupid pink car with the entire band. Joe and mark held the door open for Nikki and Cara, ash and Wilbur got out of the car together. Wilbur basically ran to me and hugged me.
"Wil you're crushing me" I giggled
He pulled away and looked at me. His hair was flat and dirty, there were heavy dark circles under his eyes and he looked like he was going to fall over.
"You look horrible" I said putting a hand on his cheek and staring at his face
Cara put a hand on wils shoulder and pulled him back a bit. Nikki and I hugged. Joe and Ash shook my hand and said that they would love to get to know me better when I come back, we'll, Joe said all of that ash just silently agreed. Mark and Nikki told me that the kitty is doing good, they said they had been taking it to band practice. After talking with everyone for about 15 minutes they agreed to let me and Wilbur talk privately.
"Can I visit you in the hospital?" He asked
"Yeah, but, I'd prefer if it were just you. I don't think I want everyone to see me there" I said quietly
"I'll make sure to see you every week, I promise" he said pulling me closer to him
"I'd like that" I smiled at him, though the smiled dropped
"I'll miss you"
"We've known each other like two weeks" I giggled
"I know" he pulled me into a kiss
I kissed him back. My arms rested on his shoulders as we kissed. When we pulled away he looked at me with a stupid smile.
"Good bye wilbur" i giggled
"Good bye beautiful. See you soon" he smiled
He walked to his and looked back at me before getting in and driving away with the others. I was sat in the back of the van while my mom and my nurse talked in the front. I fell asleep while we drived. The drive was about two hours long. When we got there my mom woke me up and walked me into the building. They made me sit in a waiting room for what felt like hours while they did paperwork.
Eventually they brought my to an empty room where they searched me and my bag. They took away my vans with laces on them. They borough me to a room that looked like a nicer dorm. They said I would share the room with another kid. I was given time to put all my stuff away in the dresser. My mom came into the room and cried while saying good bye to me.
