Different

chapter one

Clementine heard a knock at her door, "Clem?"
The soft familiar voice of Nurse Jen crept in her room from the door.
"Your mother is here," she paused "It's time to go home!"
Clementine jumped out of her bed and ran to pack her bag. She had been admitted to Skyline Mental Facilities a week ago on account of a second suicide attempt.
She couldn't quite tell you why she had been so depressed, perhaps it was the fact that her dad had done everything but disown her when he found out about her girlfriend, or maybe it had been the girlfriend, but for whatever reason, Clementine was unhappy, and it had landed her in a mental hospital.

"Mom!" Clementine jumped into her moms arms. "God, I've missed you so
much! I have so much to tell you, I've met the best people here!" Clem's mom was smiling ear to ear. It had been so long since she'd seen her daughter happy.
"Let's get you home first, then you can tell me everything." They bid their farewell to the 4th floor and headed outside.
"Grass! Air! Trees! Leaves! Outside!" Clementine laid on the ground and rolled out like a dog soaking up every aspect of the world.
"Clementine! Get off the ground!" Her mom laughed, helping Clem off the ground.
"Mom, you do not even understand. I have stuck inside a place where the most exciting thing that happens is going to the gym. I deserve to roll around in grass!"
"Fine, just don't get it in the car." A they both laughed. Ms. Spark opened the car door and they both got in. Clementine was searching for something on the radio when she felt her mothers hand on her shoulder. Clem looked up to see tears in her mothers eyes.
Oh, God, Clem thought, not a sappy mother daughter moment.
"Clem, please don't do this again. I know things have been hard lately and your father and I haven't been as accepting as you might have liked, but we aren't the only ones to blame. That girl-"
"Mom, stop. I don't wanna talk about her. I know, I know she was awful for me. I know she's the reason I've been so...not me. Okay, I know. I know all this is my fault. But, I also know that you never even thought about accepting me. I was really struggling with something and you weren't even there for me. I expected it from dad, but I mean...Mom, you deserted me when I really needed you. Do you not get that?" Clem let out a big sigh and looked at her hands, she had needed to say that for a long time. They were both quite for what seemed like forever until Clem spoke up. "I'm sorry, Mom. I ruined our relationship for one that ruined me, and I'm sorry. I'm sorry for everything I put you through, but I want to move on. I want us to rebuild our relationship. Carrie is leaving for the military soon and it's just gonna be us and I really don't want there to be resistance between us. I love you, Mommy." They both started to cry and and her mom reached out to hug her.
" I love you, too, Clem. I'm so sorry I never tried. I should have tried." Ms. Spark pulled away and dried her tears. "Well, it's getting late, we better head home! Your cat has been sleeping with Carrie and I'm sure he misses his mommy!"
"Czar! Oh my god I've missed him so much! Let's go!"
