"So what all went on there?" Diana asked, sitting down at the breakfast diner she took me to.

"Not a lot." I shrugged, not wanting to really think about it.

"Well, I still want to know. Did you meet anybody? Did anything go wrong? What made your time extend?"

"I met quite a few people. One of the employees, Kale, I had a crush on. He was beautiful and very sweet. He told me a lot about himself, why he worked there and everything. I was really close to him that I ended up going to him about my problems more than my therapist. I had some friends in there they got out before me. I was in there for quite some time. Nothing really went on, it was just me, myself, and I. I unfortunately tried to do it again so my time did get extended." I said.

"Nina, I'm so sorry. I'm really glad you're better now. So, are you still talking to Kale?"

"Not really, he never gave me his phone number or anything before I got out of that place."

"You should go back and ask for it." Diana smirked.

"Yeah, I should but I don't really want to go back there just yet. It makes me cringe thinking about Broughton. I hated that place so much."

"Broughton?" The waitress came up to our table. I felt like I was going to puke. If she heard, who knows who else heard. Neither Diana or I answered her so she went ahead and just took our order. I wasn't really hungry but I guess I had to eat.

"That was really rude of her." Diana murmured.

"Eh, it's going to happen. People are going to think I'm a crazy ass but oh well. I was suicidal, I'm better now." I said.

"It's so glad to hear that. I've always wanted the best for you, no matter what. When I first found out you were struggling with depression and self-harm, I had no idea what to do. I've never struggled with that so I don't know how it feels to go through with that. I'm your best friend though so I had to be your helping hand. I spent a week researching about it and I took in all the information as I could. I wanted to know how to help you. I wanted to be the best you could have until you got professional help. I would go out of my way just to make sure you were okay, and that was fine with me because I didn't want you upset, especially when you deserve all the happiness in the world. I love you so much, I'm so glad I still have you. You're the only person who treats me like family and with not having a true family, it means the world. You're my world, Nina."

I let a few tears roll down my cheek while she was talking. I didn't know I could mean so much to someone. I always thought I was a burden to everyone. I mean, yeah, sometimes people would make me feel loved but that doesn't mean I felt wanted.

"I love you so much, Diana. You and my mom were the only motivation I had to get out of Broughton. Every single time I would have to make a decision, I would keep you guys in thought. Everyday I would say how many days I had until I got to see you guys. It was hard with how many days I had in there but it kept me going. It made me want to get better."

"I'm here for you always." Diana said.

...

Diana took me on an adventure that day. It was really fun but the thought of moving and asking her to come with us was killing me. I wasn't sure how to talk about it. I wanted her to come but I wasn't sure how she would feel about it. I wanted to cry. I couldn't imagine leaving her again. I didn't want to take her away from her life but I wanted her to come with me. She's like my sister, I can't let go of her that easily.

"Nina, what's up?" Diana asked, driving me back home. It was dark outside and I was just looking out the window. I wasn't sure how to come out with this. I need to just ask her.

"Um.."

"What's wrong?" Diana glanced at me, concerned.

"So you know how we're moving, right?" I looked at her.

"Is that what's worrying you? You know it's better to move than stay here. People at school know you were at Broughton. I don't know how they found out but they did. It's better to just leave."

"I know. That's why I chose to move."

"Then what is it?" She asked.

"My mom said you could come with us, move in and everything. The catch is that you have to get a job." I started picking at my nails.

"Move in with you guys?" She squeaked. She was about to start crying. I knew that tone of voice like the back of my hand.

"You don't have to. It was just an opportunity."

"No, Diana, it's not like that. I'd love to but with my parents, I don't know if I'll be able to. They ruin everything good going for me."

"I can come with you to talk to them if you want me to. I'm sure they won't do anything bad if I'm around."

"Let's go." She smiled, wiping away her tears.

We talked to her parents. They seemed really on the idea of her leaving. It was bad that they'd give her up like that but she doesn't have to deal with them anymore. I hated seeing the bruises on her from where her parents got out of control. It was horrible and I couldn't really do anything about it. I called social services but they never did anything. I guess they thought it was a joke. I'm glad she never has to go through with that again.

Diana ended up spending the night with me just in case her parents wanted to get aggressive after company left. I didn't want her to stay in that house alone with her parents anymore. I'm glad she's out of there forever.
