Adopted by Dan And Phil (DISCONTINUED)

Chapter fourteen

"Amanda!" Phil shouted, bursting into the bathroom. He snatched the pills out of my hand. "Spit out the pills!" He said , fear evident in his voice. I shook my head since I had about five in my mouth. I swallowed one. Then another. As I reached the fourth pill, Dan came up behind me and screamed in my ear.
"I LOVE YOU!" He shouted. I screamed at the sudden loud noise and the pills came tumbling out of my mouth. "How many did you take?" Dan asked calmly.

I held up two fingers since I didn't want to speak. They were going to yell at me and hit me and send me back to the orphanage! Or worse! A mental institution! I can't go!

"Please don't send me back! I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I won't do it again I promise. I promise. I promise. I prom-" I had been pleading but was cut off with a pair of arms-and then another- wrapping around my torso.

"We won't send you back. But we do have to take you to the doctor now." Phil said. Shit, the doctor. He'll see my scars and cuts and think I'm insane. Maybe I am insane! What if he sends me to a mental institution?! What if he takes me away from Dan and Phil?! I can't live without them! I'll go insane for sure!

"W-w-why?" I stuttered out. I was trying to keep the fear out of my voice, but it was impossible. Phil saw the fear written all over my face, and his expression softened.

"Amanda, we have to. We need to get you anti-depressants. Clearly you need them." Phil explained softly. It's going to be my fault if they start losing money because of the pills. I can't let them spend more money on me.

"Won't it be expensive?" I asked quietly. This is embarrassing. I look around the bathroom nervously.

"You don't need to worry about it. We love you and that's all you need to know about it." Dan said picking me up. He set me down on the sink just like he did the first time I cut while being here. He did the exact same thing ,but Phil joined this time. Not exactly the best family bonding, but it's something.

Phil picked me back up and carried me to my room. He went through my drawers and tossed me a galaxy jumper(it's Dan's), duck socks, and leggings. He turned around to face the door.
"I'm not leaving this room. I won't look don't worry." He said while looking at the door. Damn it. I sighed and changed quickly. I tapped his shoulder and he turned around.
"Let's go." I said looking down. Walking to the car was silent and so was the ride. I felt bad that Dan and Phil had to do this for me, but I brought it upon myself.
"Are you alright?" Phil asked. He was sat next to me in the car. I shook my head and buried it in his chest. Dan looked at us through the mirror.
"Awe! My two favs are being cute!" He said while smiling happily. This caused me to smile a tad. I pulled out my phone to text David, but Phil took my phone.
"Just for today, no phone. I'm not punishing you, but I'm not gonna let you make yourself even more sad." He said and put my phone in his pocket. "If David calls, you can talk to him for ten minutes." I nodded in relief, knowing he would call if I didn't text him after noon.

The hospital scared me. It smelled bad and the doctors looked scary. In the paediatric area, the doctors looked nice, but I was still scared.
"Hello, Amanda, my name is Dr. Smith. What seems to be troubling you?"
"My thoughts." I said, looking at my feet.
"What kind of thoughts?" And so the questions continued. He asked me about my experiences and my past. He asked me about my habits and how I felt when things were unorganised. Finally when he finished, I had four diagnoses.
"Well, Amanda, it seems you have severe depression, anxiety, and OCD and moderate bipolar disorder. Dads, how do you want to go about this?"
"What are treatment options?" Dan asked.
"Well, we can do pills, therapy, or consoling. What do you want to do?"
"Let's do the medication."Phil said. Great. I'm going to have four  different medicines to take now.
"Ok let me go call in some prescriptions so you can pick them up in a hour." The  doctor said. I looked at him as he left the room. Then, there was silence.
"I think we should hold you out of school for now. Put you back in online school instead." Dan said. Now I'm mad.
"But I want friends!" I exclaimed. How was I gonna get better being cooped up at home?
"But maybe you should wait a bit for the medicines to start taking effect." Phil added.
"Please?" I begged.
"Let Phil and I talk about it when we get home." Dan said as the doctor walked back in.
"The prescriptions are all called in. Have any questions dads?"
"Uh, yes. What do you think about putting her in a real school now?" Phil asked. I smiled a bit.
"You should. The school maybe worried about it with all the mental health issues but it will be good for her. I think these thoughts have to do with her past and not having any friends due to that so maybe having a clean start would be good for her." He said, ending it with a small smile.
"Okay. Thank you doctor. We'll be on our way now." Dan said as he stood up. He grabbed my hand and we walk out.

"Let's enroll you in school." Phil said looking down at me with a small smile.
