The Voices and I

chapter nineteen

Ivys POV

I'm getting released out of the hospital but instead of going home my parents think it's best if I go to a Psychiatric hospital until I'm better, I think it's so stupid, I'll be fine. 

The hospital allowed me to go home a pack clothes but then I have to go to the psychiatric hospital, I don't want to go! I've been told we don't get to have visitors very often, what if Toby forgets about me?

10 minutes later... 

I arrive at my house and go as slow as possible to avoid leaving, how can I just pack up and leave? My movement is slow and unsteady as I climb the stairs up to my room. I gently open my door and begin to pack, they told me to pack everything because it's unclear to know how long I'll be there for. 

After packing all my clothes, I refuse to leave my room until someone has to drag me to the car. A soft knock interrupts my thinking and I snap my head up to see Toby. 

"You ready to go?" He says gently.

"No," I say softly, "I don't want to leave Toby, what if you forget about me? I don't want to lose you." I say softer as tears prick my eyes. 

"I won't forget about you, I promise. I don't want you to go but it's for the best, please understand that. As soon as you come back we can have that date we were thinking about." Toby tells me kneeling beside me.

"Okay Toby" I look away from his eyes. He picks up my luggage and holds my hand and we walk out of my room to the front of the house where my parents, Emma, and nurses are outside a car.

I take in a sharp breath, not ready to say goodbye as I stay frozen in place. I feel Toby tug on my arm signaling me to keep walking to the car and I do. Once my luggage was in the back of the car, I turn to Emma and give her a hug goodbye and then move to my Mum and Dad. 

"I'll miss you guys," I say crying.

"We'll miss you too but we will see you soon, okay?" My Mum says wiping my tears away.

"Okay Mum" and I embrace her in a hug, once we break apart I hug my dad, saying goodbyes and I love yous to my parents I move along to Toby, the hardest goodbye. 

"I'll miss you, Toby, please don't forget about me," I say to him looking directly into his eyes.

"I promise I won't and I'll miss you so much more okay? But the sooner you get better the quicker I can see you" He tells me and all I can do is hug him and cry. 

After my goodbyes, I move into the car and I'm driven away.
