The Journey To Happiness

Chapter 2

HARPERS POV:

I was placed in a recovery room after my wounds were stitched and bandaged. I heard a knock at the door. It was Amelia standing with a blonde doctor with the biggest grin on her face I have ever seen. "Can we come in?" She asked. I nodded slightly. The blonde doctor walked up to me and greeted me ever so joyfully. "Hi!!! I'm Dr Arizona Robbins" She explained joyfully. I moved away slightly shocked by her happiness. I didn't feel like meeting anyone else I just wanted to sleep and not talk to anymore people. Dr Robbins looked at me concerned. "Oh, well that's okay then" I saw Amelia bring her over and whisper something to her, I couldn't quite make out what she said, but Dr Robbins nodded at me and smiled at me. I knew Amelia explained everything she could about my situation Dr Robbins completely understood and did not try and make me talk at all. I was relieved that Amelia had told her about my selective mutism.

AMELIAS POV:

I walked out the room leaving Harper with Dr Robbins, I needed to go to a meeting. Seeing Harper today hearing her story made me feel like I was going to relapse, I called Meredith and explained everything. She rushed to find me and escorted me out the hospital safely agreeing to drive me to a meeting.

At the meeting I was silent, worried about Harper. How could a young girl go through so much, I knew I was only young when I became an addict, but poor Harper was much younger and much more than just pills. I felt panicked and needed to see her I needed to know if she was okay. I rushed out the meeting and back to the hospital.

Ever since this morning when I first spoke to Harper I felt a strong connection between us, she'd been through so much and similar experiences to me, that I just knew I needed to help her the most I could.

I went back to her room in the hospital and saw Dr Robbins still with Harper. When I walked in Harpers face lit up. "There's that smile" I said happily knowing she was feeling better. "Dr Robbins how is she doing" I asked in need for an answer. "She's doing well, but refusing to eat anything" I looked at Harper noticing she was quite thin, I pushed it past me and tried not to think the worst of it. "Oh Harper, could we please try eat something other wise we might have to keep you here for a few more days" I said while she looked up at me now frowning. "Oh Harper" I said quietly.

HARPERS POV:

I didn't want to eat, I hate eating I felt too sick to as well. My stomach churning and growling in need of hunger, Amelia and Dr Robbins looked up at me concerned. I knew if I didn't eat I could stay here longer I hated the group foster home, I like everything to be quiet and peaceful, but the group home was like a zoo, kids screaming from every room in the house. "You need to eat, why don't I take you down in this wheelchair to the cafeteria and you can pick anything you would like?" Amelia said. I nodded knowing it was my only chance to try and run away to somewhere peaceful.

Amelia guided me into the wheelchair, pushing me gently to the elevator. It felt soothing that I wanted to sleep, she was ever so gentle with me. "Sleepy?" She asked, I nodded. "Let's try and eat something then you can have a rest sounds good?" I didn't want to eat but I nodded knowing I had no other choice.

At the cafeteria I was overloaded by the food choices, I felt sick to my stomach even thinking about it. I was introduced to some of the doctors Amelia was friends with. There was Dr Meredith Grey, Dr Carina Deluca and Dr Jo Wilson. Amelia looked at me and I nodded and she began to tell them about my selective mutism and autism. They understood and were very patient and understanding with me. It made me feel a lot better about being in the cafeteria.

I didn't feel like eating, but I decided to pick something simple like chicken nuggets, knowing it would make Amelia happy. Amelia smiled at me when she saw me with a plate of chicken nuggets, they was only 4 but it was enough to please Amelia. "Not a lot of food there, you feeling okay?" Amelia asked still smiling. I nodded while I stared at my food not feeling comfortable to eat it. "Would you like some help" Dr Grey asked. I looked blankly unable to decide if I wanted help or if I wanted to sit there just not eating. I wanted Amelia to be happy for me eating, but if I ate I know I would be going back to the foster house quicker which I hated. Still looking at Dr Grey, just thinking to my self.

Amelia came up to me and started to check my responses with the flash light again. I looked at her, I hated the light I was sensitive to it, I covered my eyes and turned away from her. "Sorry sweetie, I was just checking if you was responsive" She informed me. I looked at her and snapped "I have fucking sensory processing disorder leave me alone" I snapped feeling guilty instantly after. Amelia looked at me concerned. I knew what she was thinking, I knew she was thinking I was high, but I wasn't. I always let my impulses take over and can't control it. "I'm sorry.." I said getting up and running out.

Amelia chased after me, I sat out on a chair just crying I couldn't run any further. My legs feeling weak and my head pounding..
