Broken

Grace Kane

"1....2....3...4......10! Grace opens her eyes and turns around. "Ok Lizzy where are you...? She mutters, putting her hand on her waist. Her eyes search around the room, wondering where her friend could be hiding "Hm..." She looks under the bed, and then under her bed covers.

"Come out, come out..." She sings. She itches her head and raises a brow. "You can't hide for long..." She walks into the bathroom, and stares at her reflection. She rubs her brown eye and red eye.  She turns around and catches a glance of someone crawling on the ground.

She runs to the door and peeks around the corner. "I saw you, Lizzy" she giggles. Silence was all that was of the room. "Hmph fine"

She paces the room looking under the desk, in the small closet, in the tiny draws, behind the curtain, outside the window, and checks the bed a second time. "You better have not gone out of the room" She mutters, plopping down on a chair.

I realization comes to her, and she pauses. She then chuckles. "I checked everywhere...but the ceiling" She looks up and smirks. "Found you Lizzy"

A knock comes to the door, before she has a second to reply the door opens. I women with four eyes poked her head In the room. She slightly smiles. "Are you packed? She asks. She slightly nods and turns to her desk. Grace Kane gets little twitches as she tries to keep still. the women slightly smiles now, and walks into the room, sitting on the bed. "Look Grace... I know how you feel..." "Sure you do" She mutters, staring at her hands that are rested in her lap. "I really do, nice or not. Kids always disagree with parents. they always feel like they don't understand and they don't know what its like being a kid"  She says. "No, honestly you don't" She says firmly.

"Grace..." "Don't grace me! She yells. seeing the women's reaction she quickly turns her grim face to a polite smile. "I  would like you to leave now" She says politely, tho it looks like she is struggling to smile. The women sighs, and licks her lips. "Just remember you coping skills" She says as she walks out of the room. Grace puffs out a sigh and closes her eyes. "They don't understand...if only they live where I live" She straightens her back and inhales the air. With a pause she exhales. She slowly opens her eyes and bites her lip. "I just want to get this stupid union FUCKING over with"

2 hours till she gets picked up by her parents, or whoever is suppose to pick her up. She is not sure, her parents never talk to her or do visits. She taps her foot on the hard cold ground. The little voice inside her head tells her to make a big fuss about, and maybe-- just maybe she won't have to go back. she feels no control over her body. She shakes rapidly as if an earthquake was going on inside of her body. She stares at the ground clenching a paper bag with her belongings in it. "It's gonna be ok" She repeats to herself, over and over. But it only made her panic more, and more, and more and more--

"I'll be so sad when you leave" Says a little girls, with short raven black hair. "I will only be gone for a day or two" She gives a sigh and places her hands on her forehead. "I hope at least" The girl quickly hugs her making sure nobody sees this. "I got to go to group, see you in a couple of days" She gives a little smile and nods. Her hands can't help but shake. She can't help but breathe faster. Her eyes can't help but dart in every direction. 

"Are you ready" Says a young women, wearing a suit, and her hair put in a neat bun. She was one of the most attractive persons in this unit of the hospital. she was also very nice, and seems to understand the kids here. Which is actually very rare. "Ready as I'll ever be" She quietly says. "Grace, you will survive" She jokes. Grace only nods and gives her a smile. the women rubs her shoulder, and runs her hands down to the girls hand, in a almost sexual way. Grace looks up to the women. "Don't worry" The women smiles and winks at her. A little blush forms in the girls cheeks. "Well I think your ride is here" She stands up and looks towards the locked door, where the patients aren't allowed to exit.

The light turn green on the locked door, and a man steps through. A man Grace does not recognize. Her nurse walks up to the man. "Hi how can I help you? She asks. "I'm looking for a Grace Kane" The man has a British accent, which made Grace certain she didn't know the man. because no one in her family was from the UK. It strangely reminded her of some secret detective, something like out of 'Sherlock Holmes.'

The idea made her crack a smile. Grace Kane stands up and gives a smile  and wave to the stranger.  The man smiles and walks up to her with his hands behind  his back. "Hello there Grace" He then holds his hand out. Grace grabs it, and he gives it a strong firm shake. "Nice to meet you" She says politely. "Likewise Miss" Grace's anxiety kicked in from the man she never met or heard of. If her parents was gonna let a stranger pick her up they should at least warn the workers.

After talking and some paper work, they exit the building. Parked in front of the door, was an old fashioned vehicle.  "So are you excited to see your family? He asks. "N-no actually. I actually can't wait for this event to end" She says truthfully. The man nods. "Well at least you are honest"The man chuckles. They then enter the old fashioned vehicle, and he slowly pulls out form the side of the road. He seemed to be his late 20's and early 30's. 

"So are you from Britain? "Actually I was born in Russia, but raised in California. My parents are from the UK. So I picked up on their accent" "Oh I see" She stares out the window, and inhales.  "So are you hungry. I'll buy you some food? "No, thanks for the offer tho" She slight smiles politely. The silence seemed very awkward, there Isn't much to talk about with a stranger is their. So she decides to not try and break the silence in this old fashioned car. The only interesting thing to talk about was her family. and god knows she doesn't want to.
