(Charlie's POV)

I sat down on my bed staring at the ceiling, I found out recently that in the bottom of my suit case Demi packed my IPod, hoping no one would find it, she disabled internet so all I could do was play games and listen to the music I already downloaded. I had my headphones in my ears, and Skinny Love by Bon Iver played, I hummed along, bored out of my mind. I swear it's like school here, you wait all week doing work hoping to get out because of how boring it is then the weekend comes and you're still bored because you have nothing to do. Or at least that's how it always was for me. I looked around the room, hoping to find something to do, it's been two and a half months and I can't find a single thing to do on my days off. 

My probation ended yesterday, so later on today Demi will be coming by to see me. She says that she and some of the workers here have something they need to talk about with me; I honestly can't think of what, all I know is that I am excited to see Demi, I haven't been able to hear from her in the longest time and she's the most important person in my life so it's been tough. But damn did I learn my lesson, pills are no way to try and calm down. I am also proud to say that it has been two months, one week, and 3 days since I last cut, or purged. I actually eat food now, I never realized how fucking amazing chocolate cake is, the taste kind of goes away when all you think about is the calories entering your body.  I looked thicker too, I was now 4'8 and I weighed 82 Lbs. Ever since I moved in with Demi I've been growing extremely fast, the doctors say it's due to the fact that I'm not shoved inside a box anymore. I am really proud of myself, and I know Demi will be too, Demi was right, I can stay strong. I can and I will stay strong because I deserve a life, I deserve to be happy, and I know it would kill Demi if something were to happen to me. Just like it would kill me if anything were to happen to her. 

I smiled as the song changed to Born For This by Paramore, mine and Demi's favorite song. I checked the time and smiled even wider when I saw that it was 30 minutes till visitation. I grabbed some clothes from my dresser and soon I was in a pair of jeans, and my favorite sweatshirt, the one I got from Demi's Neon Lights tour. I put on my black combat boots and walked out of the dorm, Ms. Caroline, one of my favorite directors, stopped me with a happy look on her face. "Charlie! Listen hun, instead of the visitation patio you and I are going to be heading for the administration office." 

I looked at her confused but shrugged it off and followed her down the hall, and into a large office. Inside the office a bunch of people looked at me with eyes filled with some kind of emotion that showed happiness, I kept walking hoping to find out the reason for all this happiness. Ms. Caroline had us turn a few corners before finally we stopped in front of a wooden door marked DIRECTOR BOLTEN.

Ms. Caroline opened the door and as soon as I saw her I ran into her arms and took in the scent of her perfume and the ever changing colors of her hair and just the fact that she was there. My mom was here, Demi was here, she was here and she... She was crying. "Mama what's wrong?" I asked using the pad of my thumb to scrape away a tear. 

"You look so different." Demi croaked. "You're taller, you're gaining weight, your hair is longer, and you just look so... so happy." Demi's facial expressions showed just how happy she was, she held me closer and kissed the top of my head, we both calmed down in each others embrace, and then we both sat down on a chair in the room, me in Demi's lap so Ms. Caroline could have the other chair. 

Mr. Bolten, the head director of Timberline Knolls, stared at us. He took a deep breath and smiled slightly. "Listen, I know you're both probably confused on why the meeting is taking place in the office instead of the patio. We would just like to inform you that Charlie has made incredible progress in the two and a half moths she has been with us, and we believe she has gotten to the point of remission."
