Let Me Out

Chapter Five

"Please don't make me go?!" I begged Pam.

She ignored me and continued to walk to the door. We were at a group therapy place, and no matter how many times I begged, she insisted that this was the first step of me getting better.

"Pammmm!" I whined.

I ran infront of her, blocking her off so she had to reply.

"Wynter. Stop it. You're going whether you like it or not."

"Why are you making me go?"

She looked at me as if it was obvious. "Wynter your a drug addict, you need help. You think I'm going to let you have another seizure? You think I'm going to let you die?"

I groaned and we started walking again in silence. We reached the door and she walked in first, and walked up to the desk. I followed.

"Name?" The lady at the desk asked.

"Wynter Locks." Pam said, gesturing at me.

The lady looked at me and smiled.

"They're in there." She said, pointing to a room down the hall.

We walked to the room and Pam opened the door, going in first. She walked up to a lady who looked to be in her fourty's.

"Hello" The woman said.

"Hi, I'm Pam Clarke. I'm dropping off my daughter, Wynter Locks." she gestured to me, smiling.

"Hello, it's so nice to meet the both of you. I'm Angela." She said, shaking Pams hand, then mine.

"You can stay if Wynter wants you too, otherwise you can pick her up in an hour."

"Okay, I don't think she wants me to stay, so Wynter I'll be back in an hour."

"Okay. Bye, love you."

Pam hugged me and whispered in my ear. "You can do this baby girl. I love you too. Bye."

She left then and I looked at Angela, who was smiling at me.

"You've got a nice mom." she commented.

I just nodded, not sure what to say.

"You can sit over there." She pointed to a table where some other teenagers were sitting.

They looked up as I walked in, and gave me small, welcoming smiles.

"Hey, I'm Jordyn." A thin girl with dark brown hair and green eyes said, smiling at me.

"I'm Wynter."

"Cool name."

"Thanks."

Jordyn came over and sat next to me, smiling.

"What school do you go too?"

"Spotswood high school."

"Oh cool. I go to East Brunswick high school."

"That's cool."

Just then another girl walked over. She had platinum blonde hair that was cut similar to mine, and dark brown eyes.

"Hey Jord!" She said to Jordyn.

"Hey Sydney. This is Wynter, Wynter this is my best friend Sydney!"

"Hey." I said.

"Nice to meet you, Wynter!"

"You too."

She smiled at me and I looked around. Teenagers were everywhere now, some talking and laughing, others looking pissed off that they were here.

"Settle down now." Angela said from the front of the room.
