The Heartbreak Games

Visitation

A visitor? I wasn't expecting my mother until tomorrow. I have had a few visitors since being admitted mostly the same one. She most likely felt bad for me, but I didn't care. Secretly getting intel on Laine and Crystal was my first priority now. Frankly listening to any drama and gossip about them was the closest to TV that I got in a long time.

When I walked into the visitation room that was lined with circular tabled and a couple vending machines I wasn't surprised by my visitor at all. It was Bonnie Tanish. The third best friend of Laine and Crystal. Unlike them I always knew she had a heart, if she didn't I knew that she wouldn't have gone through possible maximum security to be sitting in a dingy room to talk to me about my mental problems or eating disorder. Her eyes grew bigger with each step I took towards her.

"Wow, Shane. You certainly lost a lot more weight since the last time I visited. You look so good," she enthused giving me a sort of forced hug. She motioned for me to sit so I did and crossed my hands on my lap to wait for her to start talking. I looked so underdressed with linen pants and my same cardigan from the last time I saw her.

"Well?" I offered as I watched her eyes scan my body and my clothes. I guess she wasn't used to seeing me dressed in an outfit that sort of resembled scrubs.

"Well a lot of people miss you," she started.

"I'm sure," I laughed. Since when did even one-percent of the school even know that I existed. Laine and Crystal probably told everyone that I hated about my incident in the bathroom.

"Really, your one friend. What's her name... Brenda? Bri?" she quizzed.

"Becca? She's not my friend. She is just a person that I ate lunch with and let her copy my algebra 2 homework. That's about it."

"Well she expressed to me that she misses having you around. As for Laine and Crystal, they are being really bitchy to me lately because I told them that I have visited you a couple times,"

"Well I didn't ask you too,"

"I know you didn't. I wanted too," She let a sigh. I knew how she felt. I wish I could have taken back those simple little words because I was actually really grateful that she has come and visit me. "I don't care what they think. I am really sorry for what they did to you and I wish that they would come down here and apologize themselves,"

"Well you won't have to come visit me anymore because I am being released on Friday my mom is coming to pick me up,"

"Are you coming back to school?"

"I want to because I have to deal with a few things,"

"Sure sure," she smiled and laid her hand on top of mine. "Ill will be here with you every step of the way if you want me to be,"

"I would like that," I wasn't lying. It would be great to go back to school with a new me and a friend to help me along the way.

I couldn't remember a time I had someone express that they wanted to be around me, let alone support me. Not even from my own mother. My stepdad has been more supportive than she has. He has actually came to visit me once, about a week after I was admitted and then he went on this trip to L.A to help with a movie set and to be a personal Trainor on the set of some action movie.

Bonnie left and when she did a new found confidence was restored in me. I knew that when and if I came back to school I had a friend that had my back and would stand up for me. I would do anything to keep her and I didn't want to betray her trust so I knew that I couldn't show her the notebook or tell her my plans I have with Jenner and her best friends Laine and Crystal. Keeping this secret when I get out was going to be really hard.
