I've been waiting for what feels like an eternity for Elaine to come out from behind the door.
I eventually start pacing around the door nervously. A door opens, but it's not the same door. I groan. The clerk lady at the front desk is watching me intently.
"You're waiting for Elaine right," She asks.
"Yup," I respond.
Finally, the door opens. Both Elaine and the doctor come out of the room. Elaine looking angry.
"What happened," I ask right away.
"He thinks I need to die in the hospital," Elaine growls.
"Don't listen to him," I say.
"The doctor has no idea what he's talking about," Elaine spits.
I nod my head. We leave the stuffy doctors building and out to the loud city.
And we make it back home safely after a forty minute drive that made my palms so sweaty.
I dropped Elaine off at home and I drop myself and the car off at home. My mom wasn't happy I spilt water on the floor of the car, but she didn't seem to care when I told her she can wipe it up because it's still wet.
"How did it go," my mom asks.
"Why are you being so not you right now," I respond.
"What do you mean," she questions.
"You never care how anything goes," I answer.
Then the door bell goes off. My mom and I rush over to the the door. She opens it and a lady and a man stand on the other side.
"We're from the Child Protection Services," she smiles, holding out her hand for us to shake.
