I only have a few more days left. Yay! Then I will finally be out of here and able to go back to school. Oh gosh, I'm going to have so much work to do. I'll figure it all out though. I know I will. As long as some how I hide from my dad for a week. Maybe I could hide while he's awake and study when he's asleep. Maybe it'll work.
While I was eating lunch, nasty hospital lunch, Mrs. Allison came in. She sat down and said, "Pull up your sleeves Heather."
I was confused and scared. I answered, " Why Allison? Have I done something wrong. To be fair I don't believe I have and I do not have go answer to you."
"Heather I was being nice. Now pull up your sleeves now or we'll just send you away without actually knowing or not.", Allison replied.
I didn't say anything back. I just sat there not listening to her. Then before I know it she's grabbing my arm trying to pull up my sleeve. I started to shout and a nurse ran in. "Mrs. Allison! What are you doing! Get off of her right now.", the nurse said.
Allison let go and said, "She refused to show me her wrists. I'm sure she self harmed and I wanted to know."
The nurse said softly,"Heather dear. Please pull up your sleeves and show Mrs. Allison you didn't self harm"
I knew from that point that I couldn't hide it any longer. I lifted up my sleeve and they both gasped. Both ran out of the and before I knew it I was on my way to North Dakota's only mental hospital 50 miles away from my home town.
