Chapter3-Parental Conservatorship
February 17th, 2012
It’s a few days later. The remaining 7th Anthem members were getting ready to return to London. They couldn’t go visit Justin at the hospital, as only family members may see him.
But one morning, as Bailey was packing up for London, she got a call from the hospital where Justin was staying in. It was a doctor, and told her that Justin wants to see her.
Bailey had mixed feelings about this. After Justin admitted he doesn’t remember anything from early 2011 and onward, she didn’t want to have anything to do with him. In addition to that, she realized that she was in love with a total stranger. At the same time, there was a small part of her that still cared about him.
She wasn’t sure what she wanted to do, but she knew she wanted answers. So she grabbed her rental car keys, but she was stopped by the other members. Alyson asked, “Bailey, where are you going? We have to leave for London in a few hours.”
She replied by lying, “I need to get something. I’ll be back within an hour or so.”
With that, Bailey left before anyone got a chance to question her. She soon arrived at the hospital. She met with the doctor, and he led her to Justin’s room. Justin was released from mental evaluation, and was recovering in a room.
She hesitantly entered his room. She saw him, relaxing while watching TV. Once Justin saw her, he turned off the TV. He said tiredly, “You’re here.”
Bailey said awkwardly, “Yeah, I’m here. So…how are you?”
“I’m still sore, but I’m getting better. You?”
“I’m not sure.”
“What do you mean?”
Bailey sighed as she explained, “I mean, I’m not sure what to do with you. I don’t know the guy in front of me. I thought I did, but as it turns out, I don’t. You don’t even remember what you did last year.”
Justin thought for a moment, and asked, “What do you want to know?”
Bailey answered firmly, “Everything. I want to know what your life was like as a kid in England. I want to know why you were determined to be some alternative version of Andrew. I want to know what you have been doing in private during the UTurn years. I want to know why you blacked out last year. I want the entire truth, even if I have to be sitting the entire day.”
Justin looked at her intently, then suddenly a man and a woman walked into his room. Justin immediately recognized them as he asked, “Mum? Dad? What are you two doing here?”
Bailey turned, and saw his parents there. Mrs. Harrison replied sternly, “We’re here to take you back to Boston.”
Justin asked, “Why? What’s going on?”
Mr. Harrison said, “We have obtained conservatorship on you after your breakdown.”
The mother chimed in, “It’s been something we’ve been trying to do for a couple of months. And after reading and watching what you’ve been doing recently, a judge just granted us this chance.”
That shocked both Bailey and Justin. That made Justin’s future in the band even more uncertain. Bailey asked, “Will Justin be able to rejoin 7th Anthem?”
