THE SMELL OF bleach burned deep in the girls nose, the stench over powering. her hands nervously fiddled before her as her mother raced ahead of them, in search of colette's older brother.
it wasn't anything new. nick had done this plenty of times, he'd disappear off the face of the earth anytime getting clean was brought up. he'd vanish, and no one would be able to find him.
he'd say he'd get better each time he was taken out of the hospital, and it never stuck. alicia had grown used to the cycle, and had lost faith in her brother long ago, getting clean wasn't what he wanted. so he wouldn't get clean.
colette though, always believed it. she wanted her brother to get clean, she didn't want him running off and leaving them anymore. and each time he'd promise, then he'd leave for months.
the nurse led them into the room, nick laid restrained to the bed, his wrists tied. dark bags laid beneath his eyes, his hair a tousled mess. "is my son under arrest?" madison questioned, entering the hospital room where two police officers stood. one turned to her, a pad and pencil in hand. "no ma'am" he told, closing the small writing pad.
"then leave thank you." madison snapped, moving to nicks side. "we could charge him." the officer replied, his partner beginning to leave. "then do it when he's healed, for now go away" madison told, looking down to her eldest child. her fingers racking through his hair. the officer sighed before the left, partner in tow.
"what happened?" madison questioned, "la is not a pedestrian friendly city." nick told lightly, a playful grin on his face. "nick." madison warned lightly, "i just tried to beat the light" he shrugged, "what's with the restraints?" madison questioned, looking down to the ties that held nick to the bed. cuffs tight around both wrists, rope tied to the metal of the bed. "ask lab coat" he told.
"did you try to hurt yourself?" madison questioned, earning a scuff from nick in disbelief. "what? mom, no." he told. madison pursed her lips, nodding lightly before digging into her bag. "i'm gonna call for a bed" she told nick shook his head beginning to protest. "no mom im not going back there" he told, madison looked to him, "this is how we help you." madison told softly.
phone in hand, "we can't help me" nick told weakly, his head resting more into his pillow. "listen to your mother nick" travis spoke up, colette could hear alicia scuff beside her. colette didn't mind travis, her mother liked him, and she wanted her mother to be happy.
"you really can't help me. you can't do shit." nick snapped at travis, madison gently warned him. "can you all just leave me alone? just leave." nicks voice cracked, looking back to his mother. "there's an idea." alicia piped up, colette gently nudged her with her elbow. "alicia. not helping." travis told, sending a glance to the bruntte. "i wasn't trying to help travis." the clarke sister replied.
