Chapter 3

It's been an hour since I've been waiting here. Patients keep walking around and I didn't see Brooke anywhere. I went to her room and slowly opened the door. There she was, on the bed screaming and tape on her mouth. I ran to her and saw the nurse in front of the bed. "What do you think you're doing?" I shouted. Music was playing. It was the song Moments from the band. I stopped it and went to Brooke. I took off the tape, and I tried calming her down. I turned around and the nurse was walking towards me. "GET OUT RIGHT NOW." She said, but I refused. "What do you think you're doing to my sister? Are you trying to kill her? Is that what you do every day as a "treatment" and you make us think that she's actually getting better?" She turned really pale and nodded. The doctor appeared, "Anything wrong?" The nurse walked right out. "I don't want that nurse near my sister EVER AGAIN, and also I would like my money back from the past 2 years. I'm going home and this time, Brooke is coming along. She's not staying here anymore!" I said in a shouting voice. He looked at me as if I've gone mad. "CALM DOWN WOMAN!" I looked back at Brooke. She was still crying and it looked as if she's had a breakdown. "Listen, don't you dare tell me to calm down in that tone. Can't you see what this hospital has done to my sister? LOOK AT HER. You are killing her here. Why didn't you call me earlier? You let this CRAZY NURSE do this to her for the past few years she's been here? You know which hospital this is? I'm very disappointed and angry!" He quickly came over and sat down next to Brooke. "You're going to be okay babe..trust me. I'll take care of you." said the doctor. "EXCUSE ME SIR, WHAT ARE YOU DOING? She's a married woman. Don't hit on my sister like that!" He glared at me and said "WELL HE'S DEAD OKAY? LIAM IS DEAD. SHE'S BLOODY SINGLE NOW." I started packing all of Brooke's things and I made the doctor get out of the room. Brooke was crying even harder now. "Sis, it's going to be better, I promise. I'm getting you out of here right now, we're going back home now. You can be with Katrine. Okay, it's your choice. Do you want to come? I don't want to force you. Will you come back with me? Or do you like it here?" She was using the sign language to talk to me, but I couldn't understand so I gave her a piece of paper and she told me everything. She wrote:

Dear Bea,

I'm glad you finally came back to see me. I thought I'd never see that day. You've always been my hero and once again you came to save my life. Thank you so much. I always wished you'd see what they have done to me. I'm not crazy, please trust me. They're all lying. Please let's go back home, bring me back to where I came from. I want to go back. I'd do anything. I hate it so much here. They've hurt me so much, you have no idea. One page is not enough to say how much I'm torn. Thank you big sis, for everything. I love you, and I mean it.

Love, 

Brooke :)

I cried reading her letter. We left within an hour. I called Niall to let him know that we'd be home soon. The whole car ride was very quiet. She gave me a little note saying she wanted me to put on the Up All Night Album. I did even though at first I hesitated, because I didn't know what her reaction would be. But she just looked out the window and tears were streaming down her face. I felt so bad and the sensitive person that I am, I started crying with her too.

 "We're here!" I said after parking the car. When she entered the house, there was a huge smile on her face. "Ready to see Katrine?" she nodded. "Hey babe, you're home!" Niall came and gave me a hug. "Mommyyyy!" said the three toddlers running towards me. "Kat, come here hun." I opened my arms and whispered in her ear, "Mom's home, go give her a hug okay, I'll tell you everything later." She smiled and gave Brooke a big hug and a kiss on the cheek. She had tears in her eyes and she didn't let go for a good 5 minutes.
