To Mend Her.

Chapter 16.

I was currently working on a math worksheet Mr. White assigned to us.

"Stop copying me." I whisper to Andrew.

"Your intelligence is supposed to be shared with the world." He replies taking my paper.

I was about to get my paper back but a security guard came into the room.

"Andrew, Macy, Desiree, Frank, Daniel, and Veronica follow me." The security guard says.

"Pass me your worksheets then you guys are free to leave." Mr. White says.

We all give him our papers and go out to the hallway.

"Where are we going?" I ask Andrew.

"Our happy circle!" He sarcastically cheers.

"Does Krystal make us all talk?"

"Yes, seeing as you're still new here you're going to stand up and tell the whole group the reason why your here."

"That's embarrassing."

"It is."

Entering the room, Andrew immediately finds a spot, patting the seat next to him for me to sit. A couple seconds later in walks Krystal looking all high & mighty.

"Hello, everyone!" She says a little too happily.

"Hello, Krystal." Everyone  replies in monotone.

"How are all of you?" She asks, sitting down.

"Good."

"Now we're going to start off with Veronica."

My eyes widen and I start feeling nervous.

"Veronica, please stand up and tell us what brought you here."

I slowly stand up, my hands pulling on my dress, while looking down at the floor.

"I tried committing suicide."

"Why?" She asks.

"There was this scary voice in my head that kept telling me to do it. My first attempt didn't work because I was interrupted by my friend. The second time I was going to slit my wrist, but the sharp glass was slapped away from my hand. The third time I waited in the middle of the road at nighttime for a car to run me over, but this idiot pushed me away when a car was about to come. The fourth time my mom stopped me as I was about to swallow a hand full of pills."

"Do you regret doing what you tried to do, making your mother go through all of that?"

One thing I really hate is when people asked stupid ass questions.

"Of course I regret it, Krystal. The look in her eyes when I woke up in the hospital. There's nothing worse than seeing your mother hurt and crying."

"Then why do you continue to do the things you do? Do you like causing her pain?"

This bitch is getting on my last nerve already.

"I can't help it I'm fucking crazy, Krystal!" I shout at her.

"Do you think you're crazy, Veronica?"

"Didn't you just hear me say it? Or do you want me to repeat it slowly for you Krystal?"

"Please sit down." She orders.

My hands were shaking with anger. Andrew takes one of them, massaging my knuckles to comfort me which worked a little.

"She's not really a good shrink, isn't she?" He whispers.

"She's the worst."

"Andrew, Veronica is there something you'd like to share?" Krystal asks.

"Yes, when Ronnie and I get out of here, we're eloping."

Her eyes widen as she looks at our intertwined hands.

"Is that true Veronica?" Krystal asks.

Andrew looks at me.

'Go along with it.' He mouths.

"Y...Yes." I lie.

"I guess I'll call your mother to tell her the exciting news."

"Wait! We're kidding."

Andrew rolls his eyes.

"What?"

"I want to get married with you." He jokes.

"You do not want to marry me, believe me."

The rest of the group therapy went normal and by normal I mean tears were poured, Krystal got told off a lot, even a boy had to get escorted away because he was getting too temperamental.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

2 months later.

We were finally saying goodbye to Alicia.

"You better keep in touch." I tell her.

"I'll write to you." She replies.

"Okay."

"It's time to go." The security says.

"Goodbye, Alicia."

"Goodbye, Ronnie. I wish you were my sister." She says, hugging me one last time.

"Me too." I mumble.

~~~~~

I was in the movie room watching some Disney channel film. Andrew comes, sits by me with a huge smile on his face.

"You still sad about Alicia?" He asks.

"Yes."

"You won't be for long."

"What?"

Andrew pulls out two walkie talkies from under his shirt.

"Where did you get that?"

"There's this new security. He's really cool with me and gave them."

"So what are you going to do?"

"I'm giving one to you. We can talk at night, you can tell me what you're wearing and I'll tell you..." I slap his chest making him laugh.

Taking one from him I manage to get it inside my sports bra.

"That walkie talkies getting more action then me." He mumbles.

"Shut up."

"I've got more exciting news."

"You do?"

"Yes."

"Tell me already."

"I remember how you told me you loved looking at the stars, so the security is letting us be outside for thirty minutes at midnight."

"Are you serious!?"

"Shut up!" Someone who was  watching the movie says.

"Sorry." I mumble.

Andrew takes my hand.

"So you up for sneaking out in midnight?"

"Of course."
