So here we are on the sequel to a fresh start
Thank you Zebralover4578 for reviewing and following and adding me as a favourite.
The website mentioned in this story is fictional, it does not exist. It will be centred around Immy in her new home before she goes back to Elmtree.
Dear Beta and Verus
I told you I would write, I told you I would write a whole month ago. Sorry about that, I've been busy. I've spent the last month being assessed by psychologists. It turns out I have PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder), you can guess quite easily why I got it. In a few months I will reassessed and they will be able to work out how long I will need to stay here.
I have just moved from my own room into a dormitory with 4 other girls: Orliandra, Janelle, Selene and Kitty. Kitty is absolutely lovely, she loves to sew, she has been here for nearly 2 years now but she is only going to be here for about 6 or 7 more months. She told me when she came she couldn't cope with people shouting, it reminded her of home. She lived in a small flat that she lived in with her parents, grandparents, aunties and uncles and cousins. It was always loud and all the adults abused her, she got beaten up by everyone, she was thrown against a sink, pushed down a flight of stairs. Makes me being raped look lame.
Orliandra suffers from very bad depression, she is also an extreme self harmer, they had to confiscate Kitty's needles in case Orliandra got her hands on them. That's why if we want something we have to ask for it and use it away from Orliandra because according to Kitty, they had to take her to hospital last year after she nearly killed herself with a pen.
Janelle only has about a week left, she was a short term resident, she had only arrived 3 weeks ago. She just needed some counselling after her Mum died. Selene doesn't talk to anyone, so we don't know.
This isn't a small place, this is a boarding school with around 500 girls that are psychologically disturbed. They are a lot of teachers and lessons are small so you learn quite a lot and get the help you need. Since coming here my grades have improved immensely, please thank Mo for getting me sent here. Anyway I have got to go the Matron is knocking on the door, by the way I have to write this in the quiet room so Orliandra doesn't get hold of my pen.
Love Immy x
I folded the letter and put it in the addressed envelope, "Immy are you finished?" the Matron asked, I nodded handing her the pen, the spare paper and my letter.
"Thank you," I said,
"you are most welcome," she replied. I grinned and walked back to my room. Inside Selene was lying on her bed with her head in the duvet. Orliandra was trying to strangle herself with her hair which had been cut very very short after she nearly succeeded two months ago. Janelle is reading a book, all the pages have been laminated so Orliandra can't give herself paper cuts and Kitty is typing on her laptop.
I sat down on Kitty's bed next to her, "hi," I said,
"hi Immy," she said, I peered over at the screen, she was on .com, a new popular social networking site, popular with the kids at our school because it was the only social networking site the school Wi-Fi hadn't blocked yet.
She went onto her homepage and I read her profile;

That is one thing that is good about the website you can read messages that people have sent that person on that persons home page. I looked at her avatar. It was a girl with long brown hair wearing a dress and cat ears. Kitty went and clicked on my name.

B3TA Immy Tari Hi Ims, how are things?
I grinned at my home page, I looked over, Kitty was smiling too. "Are you sisters allowed to visit you?" she asked, I shook my head, "oh," she said.
"But I've sent them a letter and I can chat to them on this," I told her, as I pulled out my own laptop and logged on.
One new friend request
I clicked on it, the name that came up made my heart almost stop
Shay 3
There was a message too:
hi Immy, I'm sorry about how it ended last time we met. I've been seeing Harry recently and he has been over at my flat a few times and I have permission to foster him and I might get adopt him after that. I have stopped doing what I do, I managed to get into a scheme and I am now working at a hairdressers. Please can we talk. Miss you

I looked for a second and my mouse moved to click the deny button, "don't," Kitty said, "don't deny it, don't reply, just think about it. Give yourself some time. I nodded and clicked away to a different page. A message from Carmen sprung up telling me that she was getting adopted by the police man and his wife, I grinned and typed back a cheery reply. It's about time Carmen got some decent parents.
Then suddenly I realised the time, "Kitty it's 4:35," I shouted,
"shit, we were meant to be down on the cricket field 5 minutes ago," Kitty replied, we quickly changed into our cricket kit and sprinted to the field. To be told of by the coach and been made to do 25 press ups before running the track. We ran round the track together,
"I can't believe he is making us do this," I moaned to Kitty,
"we are on the cricket team, we have a reputation," Kitty said,
"I know best girls 11-16 cricket team in the county," I said,
"4th best in the country," Kitty reminded me.
"Why am I even on the team?" I asked her,
"because you are good," Kitty told me, "you are our best bowler,"
"I've only been on this team 2 weeks, I can't be the best," I told her,
"well you are so get over it," she said sharply.
Training was tough, but it had to be we had reputation to uphold. I liked this school, this was the time of school that I needed. The time of school that can see you need help, the type of school that forces you to do stuff. Since I arrived here, I had become a better person and I was becoming less haunted by the past.
After cricket I took a shower and got changed into my leopard print pyjamas and went straight back onto my laptop and I messaged Verus:
Hey I sent you a letter, I will write to you once a month
Love Immy x
Hope this chapter was good, each chapter will take place a month later until Immy returns to Elmtree house.
