"Ally we are going to have to move you to a bigger ward later today so you can interact with new people and you will be able to go back home to Jacks in a few days. But Ally you must start eating otherwise your weight is going to decrease again and we don't want that again" said my nurse Zoe of the past six months. She knew how much I hated moving from my single hospital room but I knew it was the only way I was going to get better. Who knows I might make a new best friend? Ha who am I kidding nobody wants to be seen with a broken depressed 18 year old girl do they?.

"Okay, when do I move? Do I have to move today?" I asked politely. Apart from Jack being here for me Zoe has been here for everything. I haven't seen my parents or my younger sister in over 3 months. My mum lost all hope in me and my dad took her side for everything. My sister is growing everyday and I'm not there to see it.

"I'm afraid so Ally, I know how much you hate it but you want to get better and this is the only way" Zoe had a point I thought. This way I can talk to people instead of keeping all my emotions inside.

"Thank you Zoe for everything" I said while leaning against my bed.

"My pleasure Ally, as much as I love you I don't want to see your face again for a long time, I want you to get better and maybe start seeing your parents again?" she said while cleaning the floor. When she said start seeing my parents again anger washed over me. I don't think I want to see them again, because they left me when I needed it most, I know I was hard work but I'm their daughter for god sake, you would think family would stick around through thick and thin but no I got left.

"I will try and thank you again Zoe" I said while looking down at my arms and thighs that were covered in cuts and old scars and the odd one with stitches. Zoe had now gone and I had time to rethink what she said. Why would I go back to my parents when they have done fuck all for me? I tried my hardest for them to get better and they lost all hope in me when I ended up in hospital for 2 months straight

*FlashBack*

"Allison I cant do this any more, getting called home from work to say your in hospital again"

"What do you mean you cant do this anymore?" I shouted

"All this, I cant keep my hopes up for you when all you do is break all your promises again and again. How many times have you told me your going to start eating again and stop all this cutting?"

"I-I I'm sorry mum, you don't understand what it feels like to be isolated" I said while tearing up

"I'm sorry Allison" She said while picking up her bag

"Whats that supposed to mean? How am I going to get better without you by my side mum?" I said breaking down in tears

"Goodbye Allison" with that she left. Left me to get better by myself

*End of Flashback*

I must have fallen asleep because I was getting woken up by some doctor saying I was now moving into a bigger ward. Fun.. not. I got off the bed and looked around, Zoe must have moved all my stuff because nothing was scattered across the floor, like usual. I followed the doctor out of my little single room and into the bigger ward. I hate this already, I thought. We walked in to the ward and I was greeted by 7 other faces in different beds, I looked at all beds were taken. The doctor must have seen my confusion, but he still carried on walking until he stopped outside a bed surrounded by a curtain. I gave the doctor a worried look before he moved the curtain and Jack was lying on the bed waiting for me

"Jack what are you doing here? I thought you were going away?" I asked confused

"Yes Ally I was going away until I got told you were getting out of here in a few days and I knew you had no where to go so I didn't go away" he said while getting off the bed.

"I could of found somewhere else to stay Jack" I said while getting on the bed, I could feel eyes burning into my arms, but I knew they were Jacks so I didn't do anything about it

"Oh yeah Ally like where?"

"I don't know, but I could of managed by myself" I said a little annoyed knowing he was right

"Yeah right Ally, what happened when you did that last? Oh yeah you ended up here for 3 months" he said with a little annoyance in his voice. I just ignored him and went back to sleep leaving Jack to do what he wants like he usually does when he's sat watching me.

3 hours later-------

I was talking to Jack about what we are going to do to keep me active and away from the house for a while. Jack knows what its like to recover from all this shit so I obviously trusted him, anyway I was looking around while Jack went to get a drink. I looked out the door and saw 4 boys about my age standing at the desk, and from what I could see one was crying. Then they all went to sit down in the waiting area, Jack came back and sat down next to me

"What was all that about by the desk just then?" I asked curiously

"I'm not to sure but they are waiting to see if their friend is okay" He said while placing his feet on my bed.

"Wonder what is up?" All Jack did was shrug and close his eyes. I lay there with thoughts whirling around my mind. I always wondered why other people were in hospital. I was quickly broken from my thoughts when the patient next to me was moving somewhere and a new bed was getting wheeled in followed by 4 other boys who looked around the same age as the boy in the bed, and im not going to lie, they are all pretty hot. All the boys smiled at me before taking there attention back to the boy in the bed.

The curtain had been pulled around the 4 boys surrounding the boy stuck in the hospital bed and from what I could hear from there conversation, the boys name was Luke.

I hopped out of bed, picked up my spare clothes without disturbing Jack and headed to the toilet, I got changed out of my hospital gear and put on a black pair of running shorts, not that I was going running, it was just hot in the hospital and they are the only ones Jack could find for me and a black vest top, put my hair in a messy bun and walked back out. Just as I was about to get back to my dreaded bed, one of the  boys walked out of the curtain

"Hey, I was just wondering if you knew where the toilet was?" asked the tallest one with a snapback on with 'Ronnie Diamond' written on it, bit I couldn't help notice he was looking at my arms

"erm yeah, straight out of here and turn to the left" I said while trying my best to cover up my arms, but it didn't work.

"Thank you, and I'm James by the way" he said while holding out his hand waiting for me to shake it, I shook his hand

"No problem and I'm Ally by the way" I let go and went back to my bed.
