*ANNA'S POV*

"We've decided to send you to the Eating Disorders Unit at Santa Monica
Psychiatric Hospital." He says as he looks down at the floor. I burst into tears.

"W-w-what do you mean E-eating Disorders Unit??" I say between sobs.
I look up, they're all crying.
"I'm perfectly healthy! I dont need to go!" I yell. Tyler stands up.
"You look like a skeleton! You look sick. Anna, please I don't want to loose you!" He yells. Wow... This is the first time Tyler's ever yelled at me... I look down at myself. I still look fat. I look up Tyler's back on the couch. Tears still rolling down his face.

"You're leaving tomorrow, please go pack your things." He says. I can tell he didn't want to say those words. Jenna looks heart broken. Josh looks lost... I walk up to my room, grab my suitcase and start packing. I'm not gonna bring alot of cute clothes. I grab 1 dress and 1 pair of heels. I grab a bunch of shirts, sweatpants and jeans. I grab underwear and some bras. I nearly place them in my suitcase. I start grabbing books, posters, and pictures. Hopefully I can hang these up in my room at the place. I go down my attic stairs to go to the bathroom. I grab my razor *trigger warning* I break it and pick up a razor. It's metal shimmering in the light. I put it up to my wrist and swipe. The blood starts to trickle out. Another swipe. More blood. Another swipe. More blood. Soon my arms and legs are covered in cuts. I finally stop when I feel light headed. I wash off, I'm careful not to fall. I grab my sweatshirt and put it on. I go back up to my room and lay on my bed. I just stare at the ceiling. Soon my eyes start to feel heavy and I fall asleep.

NEXT MORNING

"Anna it's time to wake up." Tyler says as he gives me a little shake. My eyes open. I look at my window. Darkness. I look at my phone. 5:30 am.

"Why did you wake me up so early?" I say.

"They want you there by 6." He says. I roll out of bed and he leaves the room. I text everyone from MDE and tell them what's going on. None of them are probably awake. So I have to get ready now. I grab my make up and start putting it on. After I packed up all my makeup and put it in my suitcase. I grab my suitcase, I can barely lift it up. I end up dragging it downstairs. Tyler takes it from me anf puts it in the car. I hug Jenna and Josh goodbye. I go to the twins and say my goodbyes. I walk over to the car and get in. Tyler gets in and starts the car.
We soon arrive at the place. It looks so boring. I get out and Tyler grabs my suitcase and carries it for me. We walk in and tell the receptionist who we are. She calls down a nurse. Shortly after the nurse arrives and takes my suitcase from Tyler. I say goodbye to Tyler. She takes me down a long corridor. We pass many signs for the different units. Juvenile Unit. Addiction Unit. Mentally Ill Unit. Suicide Watch Unit. Eating Disorders Unit. I look at the big door. Behind there is my new life. The door opened and I stepped in. The nurse led me to a room. She told me to put my suitcase on the bed closest to the window. I set it down and she told me to open it up. So I did. I started taking things out and started placing things in the drawers in the dresser. I took my dress and hung it up. I looked at the nurse. She was flipping through my books. She also had a basket with her.
"This is the basket for all of your things. We will put your toothbrush, earrings, and other objects that could be used to hurt yourself in here. To get these items you will have to go to the nurses station and check out those items. Those items must be checked back in." She said. Next she went over the rules.
"First no sharps of any kind. Showing up for all meals is mandatory. Showing up at support groups and one on one therapy sessions are also mandatory. Unit activities are not mandatory unless specified. No electronics until free time. Although the tv in the common area is welcome to use by any of the patients. We do have a pay phone and washing/drying machines so you can call home and wash your clothes. There are visitation times, but visitations times are a privalage that can be taken away." She said. I nod my head. Wow that's alot of rules. She takes the basket of my things and leaves. I start to hang up my posters. Then my roommate walks in. She's a thin girl. She says hi and sits on her bed. I say hi back and continue putting up my posters. Then it's time for breakfast.
