ROSIE IS THE GIRL IN THE PICTURE OKAY

-

Leona's POV
----------------------

We arrived at the rehab centre after an hour. It was so far from home, I hated it. Phil made sure I had everything, he made sure that I had my whiteboard and pen so I could at least interact with people there; even though I had no intention to.

We were registered in and they were both aloud to come to the room with me. Because I was new, I was in a room with 3 other people. They told me if I got worse, I would be moved up a ward.

Each level of the rehab was determined on how bad you were acting, and if they needed to keep you longer. If you could work yourself down to the 1st floor you would be able to leave home.

There was 12 floors, and I was on the 7th floor. So getting into a lift, was probably one of the hardest parts.

I was terrified of lifts.

I held onto the bar and left the lift, walking into the room I had been given. It was a long hallway with lots of doors, each room had 4 beds in; and most of the rooms were quite full.

I was however, but in room 107.

I walked in, and there were 3 girls there. I'm guessing the boys and girls were mixed from each other.

"Hello Leona, nice to see you're here today," the nurse said.

I smiled, not really wanting to. Dan set my suitcase under my bed and we placed a few things here and there. I had the bed near the window, which is something I was very happy about.

There were blue curtains around the beds, they could be pulled round the bed if needed; but most of the time they were open.

They said they would close them at night though, which I was happy about because I didn't want them to know that I couldn't sleep.

I didn't want to be here, so I was going to do my best and pretend I was getting better.

The bed sheets matched the curtains, they were a pastel baby blue colour. I set my teddy on the pillow, and a picture frame on the bed side cabinet.

That was all I had, there was a small TV in the middle of the room. The room was quite large, and the nurse said that we were aloud to play video games and watch movies if we behaved.

I hugged Dan tight, and did the same for Phil.

I didn't want to let them go, so when I was pulled from Phil's grasp; I felt tears well up in the back of my eyes,

"You're going to be okay Leona, please get better; were here for you and we will come see you when we can," Dan said.

"We're going to tell George about this so he knows, we will give him the number so you can call him when you're aloud," Phil said.

I nodded, not wanting to cause trouble.

When they left, I plopped down onto the bed and looked at the ceiling.

The other 3 girls were so much prettier than me. There was one in the corner with long brown scruffy hair, her head was in a book.

The other was blonde, she had short hair. My father would call it a 'lesbian hair cut'. She was throwing around a ball in her hand.

And the last was fast asleep, she looked completely at peace. Her black hair was swept over her face and her legs were stretched out.

"So Leona," the nurse said.
