Me & Her [gxg] | NOT EDITED

Two

When I arrive at the rehab center I find my usual parking spot and turn the engine off.

I get out of my car and walk inside.

"Hey," I hear a familiar voice.

It's my best friend Rain Reynolds. He's leaning on the counter top with one elbow. He's been my best friend since forever. His brother, Storme, is in rehab right now for drugs and alcohol. (His name is also pronounced as 'Storm' not 'Stormy').

Rain is 24 years old. He's also got this short dirty blonde messy hair and lightish skin. He's wearing a dark blue and grey short sleeve shirt, white cargo shorts, and white Vans.

He's also got a bunch of bracelets on. He always wears them. Each one for a different reason. Some of them people here in rehab have made.

Cameron has been here before. He's bipolar. So he's been struggling most of his life. I've done my best to help him out, but not baby him. Because he wants to be treated normally. Like a regular teenager. Not someone who needs help.

"Hi," I respond to Rain's earlier greeting.

"You okay?" He asks.

"Yeah, I just remembered something," I say.

"Is it Cameron," he asks.

"Yeah," I say.

He always knows what's on my mind and when.

"He's not in rehab anymore. And he's got a lot of people in his life. He's going to be okay. Don't worry about him," he states.

"Yeah, I try not to. I don't want him to leave," I say.

Yes. Cameron has been in rehab for depression. And clinical depression. He's still on suicide watch right now.

"He won't," he says. Then he hands me a piece of paper.

"What's this?" I ask.

I read the paper. It's Rain's scrappy handwriting. He definitely needs to work on his penmanship.
