Sensational

~Nina~

I packed my last suitcase into the car and hugged Diana. I felt so bad for leaving her just like this. I just got out of the hospital from a failed suicide attempt and now I'm leaving for good. She needs me just as much as I need her.

"I'm going to miss you so much." I began to cry on her shoulder. I felt her hand rub my back, as well as wet tears soaked through my shirt. I wanted to just hug her forever; I never wanted to let go. She was my rock. My other half. I needed her through depression. I'm nothing without her.

"Please get better, Nina. I'll come see you if I can while you're in rehab. I can't just abandon you completely." Diana laughed, trying to cover up the tears she shed.

"I'm going to get better just for you. I love you so much." I said.

As soon as I finished up that sentence, my mom called me away from Diana. "Sorry, Nina, we have to go. We need to get you there in an hour."

I detached myself from Diana and wiped away some tears that were still falling. I hated crying.

"I'll see you soon, okay?" I told Diana.

"Okay, baby girl. Get better. I love you to the moon."

"And back." I added with a smile. That's always been how we say we love each other. I started walking away from her and I could hear my heart breaking the further I got. It crushed me inside that I have to just leave her.

I got into the car, my heart in a million pieces. My mom started driving off, and all I could do was wave back at Diana. I felt a lump form in my throat, but I swallowed it back down. I don't want to cry, it'll make things worse. Things are already bad as is.

After a long ass car ride, we arrived to a huge building. I expected it to be rehab, but it was actually a mental institution. I looked to my mom, wondering if she knew what this place was.

"Mom, are we at the right place?" I asked, looking for some hope that she'll say no, but I think she knew this was the place I belong.

"Yeah... I'm sorry, baby." She said, looking straight at me. I felt my eyes burn, but I didn't want her to see how I was upset about this.

"Let's just get this over with." I huffed, getting out the car. I got my stuff out of the car, but my mom stopped me.

"Honey, you won't be needing that." She said, placing some stuff back in the trunk of the car. I looked in disbelief, like I can't even have what I own.

"Okay. Make sure to take those in when you get home. I don't want my makeup or anything being ruined in the hot weather." I said, looking at my belongings for the last time.

We went inside the institution and my mom had to fill out some papers while they took me on a tour around the place.

My tour guide was beautiful, he had light brown hair and sparkling blue eyes. His facial features were so gentle and soft. He looked like a baby, I loved it.

"I'm Kale Thompson, I help with everything around here so if you need me, you can find me anywhere." He started. He showed me around, and afterwards, he lead me to my room.

"Here's your room," he opened the door when we reached it, "I hope you like it. It's not much. We got rid of anything that you could hurt yourself with. I'm sorry. We're here to help you."

"Thank you." I said, placing my stuff on the floor and sitting on the rock hard bed. This sucks.

"Do you want to say goodbye to your mother?" He asked.

"Yeah, please." I looked up at his. God, he's beautiful.

I got up and followed him to the front where my mom was. She was done filling out papers by the time we arrived and she was getting ready to leave. I went up to her and hugged her.

"Nina, please get better. I need you." She said, a tear rolling down her cheek. I wiped it away and kissed her cheek.

"I will, Mom. I'll be out before you know it. Please stay safe, don't let Brad come near you." I said, remembering Brad. Brad is my mom's ex-boyfriend, he was an abusive shit bag. He's a waste of good air.

"I will, now you got to go." She told me, looking at Kale, who was behind me. "I love you so much, baby."

"I love you more, Mom." I smiled, wiping my eyes of any tears that were threatening to fall.

I watched her walk off, which broke my heart into even more pieces. I didn't want her to leave. I started crying, not wanting to stay here. I just wanted to go with my mom and see Diana again.

Kale hugged me, calming me down. I really loved his scent, like strawberries. I wiped my eyes and he lead me back to my room.

He showed me my closet, full if the same outfits. This place started feeling like a jail when I looked at those hideous monochrome outfits.

"I'm sorry that you have to wear those ugly things." He said awkwardly.

"Eh, it was my fault for committing suicide."

Okay, so... There's a lot that happens in this book so I'm sorry. This is actually the beginning of the plot I originally planned. There's a lot more to come :)

Kale is played by Landon Liboirin.
