After a delightful breakfast, Bella left her house and went to the first mental institute the famous  The Priory Hospital Roehampton London.  As Bella arrived that It didn't look much like a hospital it had an elegant look to it more like a billionaire's mansion. Walking up to the three arch entrance she noticed some doors to my right I see a few picnic tables with some patients and their family sitting having a conversation. Entering she was sent to a waiting room by the receptionist. It hadn't been  10  minutes when a very familiar face appeared. "What a wonderful surprise to see you here Bella! Hows Alessandro and Olivia?" The beautiful brunette said in a sweet soothing voice. " My parents are good thank you for asking,  How's John? I've seen Laila and Valeria having fun in Croatia." Erica and John were  Bella's  parents' friends since childhood. Every Christmas and New years the Whites would go to our house and celebrate with them. "Yes, we had promised the girls that after they finished with high school they would have a surprise vacation before going to uni. But enough about my family what brings you here today honey?" She patted the small couch where she had just sat down. After getting comfortable Bella was extremely nervous of what the outcome would be.  

" I know this is out of the blue but I came here to see if you all needed an extra set of hands around here.  Charity work I suppose we can call it. I can help with anything, also I could give some music classes if you lovely people would like to. I know it's a long shot but its worth the try." Shifting in her spot Bella was both excited and anxious to hear the brunettes answer. " Darling you came at the right time! You don't know how excited I am to here you want to help. Three nurses/counselors just got a transferred to another hospital and we suddenly became short-handed. When can you start?" There was a complete and an utter silence where Bella's face washed blank with confusion like her brain cogs couldn't turn fast enough to take in the information from her wide eyes. Every muscle of her body just froze before a grin crept onto her face, it soon stretched from one side to the other showing every single tooth. " Really? That's fantastic! Not losing your staff but having a chance to help! I can start whenever you like Eri... I mean boss. "

 A soft chuckle rolled out of the woman's mouth seen the excitement in the young girls big and beautiful hazel eyes was all she needed to know that she ready for the job. " How about right now? You'll get paid for the big help your going to give us of course." Softly shaking her head from side to side Bella disagreed with the last part. " No don't pay me I want to do it because it would be my pleasure to do it, okay fantastic what can I do? I'm eager to help with everything and anything." Both women stood up and Bella followed Erica until they reached her office both entered and Erica went to her desk and got a small map out. "Here take this map you'll need it trust me. Come let's go look for Pheobe so she can show you around I would love to but I have a few meetings with new patients and their families." Walking further into the building Bella couldn't believe how beautiful it was.  Stopping in what Bella assumed was a small office the door swung open to reveal inside a group of staff preparing for their day.  " Good morning everyone this is Bella she will be joining our family, Pheobe can you show her around and help you for a while." 

With that Erica was gone. Pheobe walked out with Bella by her side and within minutes both were putting medication into small cups for patients. "Okay, Bella this is the easiest yet hardest job mess up on the medication distribution and its game over."  The old woman said with a straight face, only to disappear and a small smile appears on her face. " No pressure baby! You'll do fine. Come on let's go get this done. After this, I could give you a proper tour of the hospital." They walked yet down another hallway and stopped dead in their tracks. "Okay honey you take this end of the hallway and I'll take the other end. Take your time.'
