Gone.

Chapter 11

It has been two days since my talk about release with Doctor Adams and I was just getting more and more anxious about getting out of this hospital. It seemed like these four walls were closing in on my, and I just could not take it anymore. I'm not allowed to leave my room and I had already explored every inch of it. Doctor Adams talked to me this morning about leaving on Friday, but man that was two more days away. I am not so sure that I can stay here that much longer before having to be admitted into the insane asylum.

The nurse came knocked on the door before opening to door. As she walked in she gave a weary smile. "Anna you are not going to like me. I need to draw some blood to run some tests." I groaned and gave her my lesser abused of the two arms. "I am sorry Anna, but I have to, Doctors orders."

"And I thought Doctor Adams was on my side." I whined. I winced as the needle poked through my arm and I watched the blood flow through the plastic tube into the glass container. She took eight of the glass containers of blood before she pulled the needle out of my arm and bandaged it up.

"All done Anna," She said as she gave me a grim smile. I watched her start to pack up her bags before my vision started to spin. I clamped my hands on my bed rails before watching my surrounding fade to black quicker than normal.

*Flashback*

I stood in the mirror looking over my flaws. I watched myself pull up my right arm and pull my fingers through my hair. I was supposed to go look at dresses tonight for the wedding with Mitch's mom, since mine had passed a few years ago. I was not ready to be forced into dressed and my every flaw hidden.

Mitch quickly walked into the room and wrapped his arms around me. I looked at his face in the mirror in front of me "What if she does not like me?" I asked him.

"Do not worry darling, she will love you." He reassured me.

"How do you know that? I have not seen your mom since our graduation and that was four years ago. People change and you know that."

"Would you stop worrying about my mom and start worrying more about finding the perfect dress so I get the honor of marrying you in a dress that you absolutely love?"

I sighed and took on less look at myself before turning around to face him. I placed hands on either side of his face before pulling him down to meet my lips. "I love you Mitch. It would not matter to me if I married you in blue jeans, as long as it was you standing on the other side of the altar from me."

I watched a smile spread on his lips as he left one more kiss to fade on my forehead. "I know darling, but you deserve to have the best wedding that you could possibly dream. Now go make up for lost time with my mom, and have fun today. Everything will work out and this just puts us another step closer to spending eternity together. I love you." With that he turned and walked out of the room.

I sighed and turned out of the room and went to go meet his mom.

When I finally came back to reality I was still sitting in my hospital bed, but this time I had Doctor Adams hovering over top of me with a team of nurses at her heels. I groaned and pulled my hand to my aching forehead. "What happened?" I asked in a grungy voice.

"Well Anna, you seemed to have passed out. We just cannot seem to figure out what caused this occurrence to happen. It could mean some very bad things, so until we have this issue solved, I am sorry, but you will have to stay here under our care and watch."

I wanted to burst out in anger. I had been promised an early release and all the sudden because I had one little black out moment I was here for longer than expected. I felt the pit of my stomach start to boil with the rage that was trapped inside of my body before I exploded. "What? So after all this time of following exactly everything you say I am still stuck in here as long as originally planned, if not longer? That is the most absurd thing I have ever heard. You can listen to someone fully on everything that they say and still get screwed over in the end."

"I am sorry Anna, but it is for your safety. We need to figure out why that happened and if it could be life threatening to you."

"I do not want to listen to it right now. Could you just give me my space and some time alone to think about this whole thing?"

"I would be happy to Anna. If you start to feel like it is going to happen again please call one of us. If everything goes well I will see you in an hour." She turned and walked out of the room in a brisk pace.
