Mirror, Mirror Chapter 2

White. Thats all my agitated eyes see. I glance around at my surroundings. White walls, white blanket, tinted grey window, white counters, and a red stained sheet.

There is a sign on the edge of my bed that says 'Press if you have woken up'.

I press the red indented button, and here a small beep and footsteps coming. Soon there is a nurse, doctor, and my two disappointed parents.

"How are you feeling sweetie"? The Nurse asked.

"Fine".

My mom sits next to my bed in a uncomfortable looking chair.

"What happened Mom"? I asked timidly.

She sighed and shook her head.

"You almost killed yourself Adele. You almost killed yourself. Me and your father, we... have decided to do whats best for you..and for us.

Were sending you to Sandybeach Hospital. Its a hospital, where you will be able to live and not be able to hurt yourself. "

"So...your sending me to a mental hospital"?

" Adele! Its not a mental hospital." my dad snapped.

"Yes it is, and you know it. Your sending me away because Im to hard for you to take care of!" I spat.

My mom looks at my dad worriedly as my he storms out. I can tell when hes done, and hes done.

"Adele, were just trying to help you. You leave here to go to the Hospital tomorrow, but we already sent most of your things to your new room thier already sweetie. Im sorry."

"Posters and all'?

My mother rolls her eyes at me and shakes her head.

"I packed a few".

I let out a sigh of relief.

My mother stands up to kiss me goodbye. I turn my face away, not wanting her affection right now. She glances down at me with her sad eyes, and opens her mouth to say somthing.

"Adele, we...were.."

"We wont be visiting you at the hospital..."

"We just... your father and I realize now that we cant handle you. Im so sorry darling. After you are treated at the hospital, since your only 16, they will send you to a community home. Maybe you can send your father and I a postcard or somthing? Honey, dont worry. We will be fine."

With a small glance at the nurse standing beside me, she walks out.

What does she mean by 'We will be fine'? Of coaurse there not worried about me. Im worthless. I am a terrible person.

I glance down at my arms. My still bleeding, stitched up arms. I really am just a worthless piece of shit. My fat rolls on my stomache can be seen from under the blood stained sheet, my knobby feet sticking out from the end of the blanket, and all together, I really am worthless.

The Nurse must sense Im not doing to well, and I see her from the corner of my eye inject medicine into my morphine bag thats connected to a needle in my arm. Im soon feeling sleepy, but am struggeling to stay awake. When I am asleep I am vulnerable, and weak. The monsters will get me. The monsters from within.
