Autumn's POV

An hour later Kellin and I entered the doors of hell. I mean rehab center. It had that nauseating hospital smell and everything was white. I already hated it and I've only been here five minutes.

I said goodbye to Kellin and hugged him tightly. The nurses took my clothes and medications and locked them up in storage for employees only.

I had to wear grey cotton clothes and slippers so they could be sure I wouldn't hurt myself. I looked like a hobo.

My room had bars on the window. The bathrooms were open and had supervisors. I had to have nurses escort me everywhere and they would check up on me every hour.

At dinner time I was lonely, as I had been all day. It was like high school again. I had no where to sit and no one wanted me at their tables. I used to just sit outside against the wall and stare at nothing.

I had plenty of friends back home in Michigan. But they probably all hate me now too. And I hasn't seen or heard from any of them since I was 12.

I moved to LA in seventh grade. My first day if school I tried my best. Starting in the middle of the school year wasn't exactly ideal but it happened. That was mistake number one.

The rest of middle school wasn't completely awful, but it wasn't good either. I only had three friends. People made fun of me but they didn't care. They stuck with me through it all.

Then came high school. Kellin was a senior when I entered as a little baby freshman so I wasn't completely alone. But I barely saw him around so I was.

One of my friends moved away to Texas the previous summer. So it was just Jenn and I. But not for long.

I walked into my first day of the rest of my life alone. I could see groups of pretty, probably popular girls pointing and giggling. Great. I was already the weirdo.

One walked right up next to me, slammed me into a wall and made my books fall all over the floor. "Watch where you're going, emo freak," she said evilly. Everyone around laughed. I picked up my stuff and ran away to first period.

The next day nothing happened all morning. Later I found Jenn at lunch and we sat at a table in the corner. It was just us but we were okay with that.

We were just talking casually, doing what girls do. And then I felt a cold liquid on my head. Strawberry smoothie stuck to my hair, ran down my face and stained my shirt. I wiped the sticky drink off my eyes and stood up to see the same blonde bitch from the first day smirking with an empty plastic cup in her hand.

She wore a cheerleader uniform and had her little posse around her. The cafeteria erupted in laughed. I went home after that, unexcused.

This continued all throughout high school. Lucky for me bitchy blondie graduated when I was a junior. But others caught on and it was never ending. That was the year mom died.

I walked into the school the day after her funeral with my head down. I didn't want anyone to see my cry. I had been out of school for a week. They taunted me about that too.

By now Kellin was long gone from school and I was alone. Jenn left me at the beginning of sophomore year. She didn't want to be made fun of for hanging out with me anymore. She is a trader.

Three months later my dad committed suicide. And it was bye bye home for me. I went to live with Kellin. Everyone knew. They said it was my fault. They would throw pieces of rope and strings at me, telling me to join my dad.

That day was the first time I tried to kill myself. The first time on purpose at least. Girls would beat me up. I was too weak, to low on the food chain to fight back.

People found out where I lived with Kellin and started vandalizing the property. Someone once spray painted "kill yourself" on the lawn. Two months into senior year I dropped out. Kellin and I moved across the city and I rarely saw anyone from high school ever again.

Around that time is when I started dating Jesse. Mistake number two. But I wouldn't know it for two years.

So back to now, I approached a table with two girls sitting there who looked around my age. I sat down. "Um hi, I'm Autumn," I said, putting my hand out for them to shake. They did nothing but glare at me.

"What's your names?" I asked. The glaring one said, "they want me to kill everyone here." I widened my eyes. Schizophrenia I think. I looked away quickly. I think the other one is a mute.

I ate as quickly as possible, went for my shower then was escorted back to my room. I wanted to skip dinner altogether, but they're fucking monitoring every little thing I do. I'm not a fucking baby. By the time I get out I'll probably be so disgusted by my weight I won't be able to look at myself.

I laid in the dark for hours, alone with my thoughts. I miss Andy. I miss Kellin. I miss home. I miss Katelynne and the boys. I miss sleeping in my own bed. I miss the guys. I'm gonna try my very best just to get out sooner and be reunited with everyone.

I finally drifted off hours later into a light, disturbed slumber.
