~An Emison Story~ Second Chances

Broken

~Emily's POV~

"Hello and welcome. I'm told that we are admitting one of you today?" The attractive nurse says as she pulls me out of the daze I'm in, while walking into the office.

Hanna and I have been sitting here for a little more than an hour now, in dead silence. My head is literally spinning and I can't think straight. I've been trying my best to wrap my mind around what happened tonight. Is this all really happening right now? I've got to be dreaming... No, not dreaming. This is a nightmare. I look over to Hanna who looks just as tired as me. Her eyes are bloodshot like at any moment she can start crying all over again. She's holding onto my arm for support. Sitting next to me as the after hour nurse enters the room.

Noel is waiting in the waiting room. After a little debate Hanna is the one who won with helping with me getting admitted. The nurse immediately goes behind her desk and looks at us both with a slight smile. I'm assuming she's analyzing us as her eyes dart back and forth between us. Seeing how clingy we are. If she only knew. Our manners are forgotten with how late it is and well... because of the circumstances. We probably should have already introduced ourselves.

"I'll be the one being admitted." I softly acknowledge her, not meeting her gaze. "Emily. Uh, Emily Fields." I mumble being short.

"I'm assuming you're the Mrs.?" The nurse says looking at Hanna. Hanna just stares ahead at the nurse a little confused.

"Nurse?..." I look at her waiting for her to finish my sentence, implying I want her name.

"Nurse Drake." She motions to her name tag and I gives a polite smile. "Cece Drake. You can call me Cece." The blonde looks down at the paperwork slightly blushing. I'm assuming it's something she normally doesn't do. Give out her first name that is...

"Nurse Drake. Um... Cece... My-my wife couldn't be here with me tonight. Hanna is my best friend and she'll be helping me with being admitted." I tell her looking down, playing with my hands. God how I wish Ali were here right now. She's always been better with this kind of stuff. I need her... I can't believe we're in this mess. I'm in this mess. Cece gives a polite smile and nods her head in understanding.

"Okay, we should start. We've got a lot to go over. She put 4 different papers in front of me. First off, I'm going to ask you some personal questions Emily. They are to help our staff with your treatment. I hope you understand." She looks at me for agreement. I nod for her to continue.

"First, I need to make sure you understand this is a 12 month treatment program. With 4 months in house. Where you will not be allowed to leave our premises. We have great features while you stay here, to help you with the time. Cable, gym, library, corner store, coffee shop, etc. Your room will depend on what package you decide to go with. We've been rated #3 in the nation when it comes to Alcoholic Rehabilitation Programs and have several others through the states. Just in case throughout the year you move from Philly." I nod again, implying that I'm listening. You can tell she's said this speech many of times and quite honestly... I just want to get to my room and just go to bed. I feel shaky and God... I just want a drink.

"What are the different packages?" Hanna asks. She then gets my hand and holds it tightly. I think she can feel my body start to tremble. I'm trying my best not to but I know it's noticeable.

"Well Hanna I'm glad you asked. I was about to get into that. There are 4 packages. Package 4 – Emily will have 3 other roommates who share one room." Cece shows us a map of the lay out. "There are 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, a small kitchen and living area." I nod my head. Package 3 – Emily will have one other roommate in a 2 bedroom, 2 baths, and same lay out. Kitchen and living area, but she get her own room. Package 2 – Which is for more privacy she'll get a studio apartment all to herself. And of course Package 1" Cece leans over to us like she's telling a secret. "This is honestly for the rich and famous because really... who could afford this? Package 1 – Is renting out one of the houses here on the property. This is good for Families with kids. 4 bedroom, 5 baths..." I then cut her off.
