The doctor escorts me and Demi to the ambulance waiting for us. All I need to do is deal with people for 7 days... Great. I guess it's good that Demi can visit me. I get strapped into a stretcher and onto the ambulance I go. Demi is sitting in the back with me hugging me. For the whole ride we just hug. What almost felt like forever, the truck screeched to a stop and a doctor came to open the back door for us. Demi couldn't walk in with me. Demi gives me a huge kiss on my head and says "I'll visit you tomorrow Jenbug!!!" I yell back "I love you!!" And she yelled back. Geez, one day without demi. At least I get to see her tomorrow. We go upstairs to where all the rooms are. I get greeted in and then I practically have a therapy session. They ask me questions about why I'm here and why I did this to my self. About 10 minutes later, they do a skin check. It literally is as bad as what it sounds like. You have to take off your clothes, and put a robe on and nurses check your body for piercings, tattoos, or scars. It really sucked honestly because it was awkward and stuff. After that was done, I went back into the chair that I had to sit in and wait for 3 fucking hours. It was Friday, pizza day for the nurses. None of the patients were allowed to eat pizza which was torcher but one of the nurses was nice enough to give me a piece but I politely said no. My anxiety was off the charts. I couldn't eat, I couldn't sleep, all I needed was demi and then I would be alright.
"Alright Jennings, your room is ready. Your in room 820."
Well fuck. That's Demi's birthday. I walk in my room with my bags. It's 1:00 am. I went into the bathroom to change clothes. I walk back out to go to my bed and then I realize my roommate is awake.
"What's your name?" He asked me in a deep voice.
"I-I'm Jennings. You?"
"I'm Darrel"
"what are you here for?" he asks. it almost sounded like we we're in prison. ya know how when there is a new inmate and the roomie asks "what're you in fer?" in exactly that voice?
"I'm here for suicide, depression, and self harm. You?"
"I'm crazy," he says. "Homocidal also."
"Oh, that's nice." I didn't know what to say. He's my roommate so I try to trust him and like him as a person. It starts working.
"Hey man, you doing ok? You don't look very happy." Darrel asks me. He really cares for me. He asks me if I'm ok or if I need anything
"Yeah I'm alright... Considering I'm in a mental hospital."
"Good point. If you need anything just ask me okay?"
"Thanks"
I miss demi and I've only been in here for a couple of hours. As I think that to myself a nurse walks in a says
"Jennings? You have a phone call."
I walk up to the front desk and take the phone and put it up to my ear.
"H-hello?"
"Heyyy Jen bug! You doing okay? I miss you bunches!!"
Its demi.
"Yeah... I'm I'm not doing so good."
"What's wrong?"
"I'm in a mental hospital without you. I miss you."
"I miss you to bud. Hey I'm so guess who got my number and called me today?"
"I'm not sure if I wanna know."
"Your grandma. She's asking about you. Would you like me to tell her what happened?"
"NO! I can't stand that hag. If she ever calls you again, hang up!!"
"I'm sorry Jen bug, I'll make sure she'll stop calling."
"Hey Demi, I need to go. My time is almost up. I love you, I miss you, and... I live you k bye." I immediately hang up. I wish she didn't bring Helen yeller back into the picture. I go back to bed and fall asleep. It's 8:00 pm so I guess it's ok I I sleep for the rest of the night. I wake up to a knock on the door.
"Yeah?"
It's a nurse
"Jennings, you have a visitor."
I see a shadow walk in hoping its demi.
but it isn't
"Why the fuck are you here?"
