The Girl With No Home. - Ashley Lobdell (children's books read aloud txt) 📗

The next morning when I get woken up I can tell it's early. "Why am I getting woken up early?" I ask. "Ashley lets go out into the kitchen and talk." one of the nicer staff says. So I get up and drag my ass out to the kitchen. I sit down at the table theres 2 other people, vennesa and joy they run the 20 mile program. "Ashley we have some concerns" vennesa says. At first it dosnt click but when they say someone brought something to there attention I know exactly what this is about. "And what is that?" I ask playing dumb. "I'm pretty sure you know what I'm talking about Ashley." "No I don't." "We can't keep you here if your doing that stuff, Now go get me the scissors and promise you wont do it anymore" Vennesa tells me. I sit there for a moment thinking on what to do. Finally I get up walk to Rachels room and start screaming at her "how could you do this to me you little bitch! I trusted you and you betrayed me!" Staff come running in telling me to stop and that I would wake up the other girls At that point I don't care about anything. "I was only trying to keep you safe" Rachel praticaly wispers. "No you wernt, doing that keeps me safe. I trusted you" I yell again. I push past the staff run into my room grab the scissors run to the bath room close the door and start cutting. I'm setting myself free, free from all this pain. I trusted her I can't believe she did this. I'm crying hard now, and I can't stop.

I don't know how long I'm in the bathroom for but the knocking and convincing of trying to get me out stopped a while ago. I sit there the bleeding has stopped. Theres a knock at the door and a soft female voice saying its the brattlbro police. The police! They really called the cops on me. "Ashley if you don't let us in were going to have to break down the door" To save myself anymore drama I get up and open the door. What she must see is a crazy girl who cut herslef open. What i see is a girl who set herself free."Ashley were going tp have to take you." panic rises "Take me where?" "to brattlbro retreat."

It feels like the ride take forever but I'm finally here at this place they brattlbro retreat. The cop leads me into the admission room a lady comes up to me and tells me to take a seat next to this big machine. I walk over and sit down the lady and the cop stay behind and talk. there probably talking about how gross I am with all this dried up blood on me, well its not my fault they wouldnt let me change before I left. as I'm thinking that the lady walks up to me and ask me if i want to change, I shake my head yes. The lady lets me pick out a pair of my clothsbut when I go into the bathroom to change she follow me in. "what are you doing?" I ask "well you see when people first get here they have to have a nurse or staff go into the bathroom with them untill they get trusted or get on a certain level." If I wasnt covered in dried blood I would bring an agrument forward but sence I feel tired and worn out I change my cloths facing away from  her.

she has me sighn a bunch of diffrent papers I swear it takes like an hour and a half to get through admission.When were done she leads me to an elevator we get in and she pushes the button 3. on the way up she explains the floor I'm going to be on is T-3 the teen unit. Did I metion this is a crazy hospital? I can;t believe I'm here. Am I really crazy? Of course I am I cut my own skin. I think about killing myself, yes I'm crazy. Finally the elevator doors open and I'm lead into a smalll room with a door that has a window. I'm told to take off my sneakers cause there's no strings aloud on the floor unless were going down to eat or outside. behind the door is women with blond hair and green eyes. I relize the door is locked and she is there to unlock it.
