"No Miss, right Luce?" Dominic says without taking his menacing eyes off of me. I don't take my eyes off of him for fear of what he'll do next. I just shake my head. I don't trust my voice.
"Ok but I'm sorry. Unless ya ah family ya need ta leave, visitin hours ah ova." Ugly Nurse Lady says.
"No I'm not family but I was just getting ready to leave anyway," Dominic gets up and starts to walk out the room but just before he leaves he hesitates at the door and then turns around at me and says "I still love you Luce, don't ever forget it " just like Charlie did and then left. After a few minutes, when I know he is really gone, I cry for the second time today.
**********************************************************************************
I woke up numb. Numb from crying all night and from being in this stupid hospital. The Ugly Nurse Lady comes in and helps me into a wheel chair to be moved to the mental ward. I know the routine cause if someone is a harm to themselves that person can be held for 72 hours of monitoring. Whatever it’s not like I have anything better to do.
The next few days were as boring as expected. I don’t know why doctors think being cooped up in a white room for three days will make all of your problems go away. But if that will get them all of my back then I’ll gladly sit in a bed for three days doing nothing.
I was expecting Charlie to come and pick me up on the morning I was allowed to leave but as the mental ward nurse was taking out my IV (I actually kind of miss Ugly Nurse Lady) I saw the last person I expected to come and get me: my mother. She was looking down at the ground and quickly walking in her high heels toward my room. I see that she is holding a Wal-Mart bag in her hand. Then she looks up at me and I can see the anger in her eyes but it all goes away when she walks into my room.
"Hi" the nurse says, "You must be Lucy's mother. Well she can leave as soon as the doctor checks her one last time."
"No we aren't going to wait for some doctor. We are leaving right now" that is when she threw the bag at me. It was full of my clothes, "You get changed right now young lady or so help me I’ll leave you here to walk all the way home" she said while pointing her freshly manicured fingers at me. I hurried out of my bed and went into the bathroom that was in my room.
"Ok but I'm sorry. Unless ya ah family ya need ta leave, visitin hours ah ova." Ugly Nurse Lady says.
"No I'm not family but I was just getting ready to leave anyway," Dominic gets up and starts to walk out the room but just before he leaves he hesitates at the door and then turns around at me and says "I still love you Luce, don't ever forget it " just like Charlie did and then left.
