Just then one of the doctors entered the room, i recognised her, she was the one who called Vyn on the phone and helped me and saw me when i came here. She was staring at me up and down looking worried. Then she finally spoke "How are you doing there kid? Let me know if u need anything. Anything at all we are here for u kiddo."
Maria's thoughts:
God she is so sweet but i need to get home, my parents will be back in 4 days.
I finally respond to her while smiling at her generosity, "I am alright, I'll be fine. Its not a big deal really, i am okay. I need to go home. My parents will freak out if they see me here." She looks at me concerned and responds, "Honey you need to stay here atleast 2 days to recover. You can't possibly go home like this. We can help you and take care of you. Where are your parents though, they should know where you are." I say, "they are not in town. They won't be back for 4 days." After i said this the doctor looked really concerned and worried and said, "They left you alone!? How old are you?" I answer her question saying, "well not exactly our maid is staying with me, but she is at her own place right now and I am 16." The doctor sighed and frowned then Vyn interfered in the conversation "Well are you going to tell them you are here?" "Was not planning on it" , i say while looking up at him. He looks at me and says, "sweet heart your parents need to know you are here and I am here for you, to help you become better through therapy sessions." I say, "As much as i would love that i do not want to tell my parents anything or have them worry." He says, "Sweet heart do not worry about that i can do that for you." I sighed and then finally agreed saying, "I will let you talk to them as long as you do it infront of me." Vyn and the doctor were overjoyed when they won me over and i finally agreed to there decision.
Just then my phone beside me rang, it was my mom.
Phone convo
Mom: Hey sweety, how are you? Your Dad and I just wanted to check in.
Maria: Hi mom, alright! How is the trip going?
Mom: Wonderful!
I could hear vyn and the doctor invested in my convo with my mom since the phone was on speaker they were listening in. Just then Vyn whispers, "go on, tell them you are here." "You do it" I say to him.
Phone convo
Mom: Maria, do you have friends over or are you out? I can hear voices.
I didn't know what to say so i handed him the phone.
On the phone
Vyn: Hello maam, you must be Maria's mother?
Mom: Yes, and who is this speaking and why do you have my daughters phone.
Vyn: My name is Vyn Richter, this might be hard to hear but your daughter Maria is with doctor Sophia Lee and I at Giannovyn Mental Health hospital.
Maria's thoughts:
I can hear my mom freak out over the phone getting worried about me. This is exactly what I did not want. I hate when my parents worry about me. I am fine. Not really, I am not fine, but I say I am. It is just so much easier because that way no one asks you what is wrong because sometimes I do not even know what is wrong with me.
On the phone
Mom: What!? What happened!? Is my baby alright!?
Vyn: Not exactly, but we can help her recover. For that she needs to stay with us for 2 days because she can't be alone at home right now at her current state condition.
Mom: Why, whats her condition?
Vyn: Well we think your daughter needs professional and medical help and we can provide her with therapy. We will help her heal. Currently it is difficult for her to move and get up as she is hurt badly and has cuts on her body.
Mom: Okay, can you please give my daughter the phone.
Vyn: ofcourse.
As Vyn hands me the phone i take it from him.
Mom: Maria? Is this true what that man said?
Maria: Yes mom. Everything Vyn said is true and I think they can help me. I am really sorry mom.
Mom: oh, honey.. you do not need to apoligise to me. All I want is for you to be in the best possible health physically and mentally. I love you and want what is best for you and if you think you need therapy and really want this then i support you.
Maria: thankyou.
After that she said dad and her had to go to some urgent meeting so she needed to hangup but that she will talk to dad and they will be back as soon as they can. She also said I should stay there at the hospital with Vyn and doctor Sophia as that would be best for me until they are back and the doctor and vyn agreed. After my mom hung up Vyn eyes lit up and he was grinning happily and looked at me while shooting me a cheery smile.
"Congratulations for telling your parents you depressed" Vyn says while laughing and looking at me. His comment made me laugh as well and he uplifted my mood with his sassyness . "Thankyou, i guess" I say awkwardly. Then Vyn says, "Uhm.. well doctor Sophia and I will leave u to settle I guess. We will be back in an hour to check up on you."
Maria's pov.
He sounded kind of upset when he said he had to leave me in the room alone i could feel it in his tone and how his eyes were looking down
"Alright" , i say as he leaves.
Maria's pov.
Then they left the room. I was alone once again. I hate this feeling, of loneliness. I am so bored here. I wish i had my best friend here to talk to her and tell her how much I miss her but she had to move. Ever since she left, nothing has been the same. Maybe I should text her.
Texts between Maria and Aruba.
Maria: Hey Rubyyyy, I really miss you! How are you?
Aruba: Omg hi! I was just thinking about you. I miss you too! I'm doing good, how about you?
Maria: Haha about that, um I'm at a mental hospital.
Aruba: ohmygod. What happened? I am glad you decided to get help though. I have been trying to convince you to get the help you need since last year when i was here with you.
Maria: I know, you would always tell me to go to a therapist. You were always there for me no matter what. Even when everyone else left. You stayed.
Aruba: Well ofcourse, we have been best friends since we were 5!
Maria: yup. I wanna thankyou for everything!
Aruba: No problem at all. U deserve the world. Now tell me what happened?
Maria: Well you know about my self harm.
Aruba: ya.
Maria: so I kind of lost control and um ended up walking here. Crazy?
Aruba: woah. Insane.
Maria: yup.
Aruba: I am so sorry, I really wish I was with you.
Maria: Same, when can u come back.
Aruba: I can not visit any time soon since I have school here.
Maria: Aww man. We currently have a 2 month break.
Aruba: I could use that, haha! Anyway.. I am sorry but I need to go now.
Maria: No problem. It was nice catching up.
Aruba: yah it was!
Maria: Baii!
Aruba: bye!
I stare at my phone blankly. It was almost out of battery and my charger was at home. That reminded me that I only came here with my phone and keys and everything is at home. Great, how do I get my stuff now!? I got up and walked to the bathroom in the room and stared at my self. I can not believe I came here dressed in my kuromi pjs. Gosh, I am ridiculous. I splashed some water on my face and wiped my tears, then went back to the bed and layed there staring at the ceiling thinking about how to tell the doctors I need to go home. "Why did u come here Maria?" "Why do u have to be so stupid?" I ask my self.
