10 minutes. I've been sitting here ten minutes and I have no clue what to think. I don't know what to do, or feel, I have one thousand emotions swimming in my overstuffed brain, and I can't breath.
"Rehab?" I choke.
"It's what's best for you, Emily. Just please.. Think about it. With your situation, you need some time alone for awhile to think about things and get yourself straightened out." Mr. Hemmings said in the most smooth sweet voice.
"Im only 16. What about sch-"
"They have an amazing homeschooling system there for all grades." He cuts me off with a warm smile.
"What about Luke, can he come visit me? My parents? Can I see them? How long am I gonna be in there?" I'm crying.
"Sadly, no. Luke can not come visit you, because he isn't family. Your parents can though." He says sliding a brochure towards my side of the table.
"If you go, you can leave in a month. Spend as much time as you need with friends and family... And Luke."
"Can you take me over to Luke now?" I'm going insane and I need his skin to touch mine so I know I'm still alive.
"Of course, Hun. Whatever you need." Mrs. Hemmings holds my hand in hers.

Luke's POV
I see my parents white SUV pull up, and see my parents step out and my father open the back door. Suddenly, I see a pair of tan legs with combat boots step out, and I know that it's Emily.
I wonder what they said to her.
"Hey, Em, what's-"
And with that, she silences me with a bone crushing hug and a sweet passionate kiss. My lips immediately mold to hers and my hands wrap around her waist.
All too fast, she pulls away.
"I need to talk to you." She said with a monotone voice.
.
Here we sit in Emily's favorite place.
The trees, the grass, the flowing river.. No wonder she loves it.
"Luke.. I'm going to a rehabilitation center in San Diego."she blurts and my body goes numb. My heart drops. My hands are tingling.
"What.. Why?"
"I need help Luke. I can't keep fighting this battle on my own anymore. I'm doing whatever possible thing I can do to get my mind off of my crazy ass life."
There's a silence that is way too long for my liking.
"I leave in a month." I whisper.
I stand up after 15 minutes and begin to walk away. And Luke stays sitting.
I should've known.
I suddenly hear him scream my name and I do the only thing my heart screams.
Run.
