Here is chapter one of part II of my series. Part II takes place when Nosedive is in rehab, and I hope everything makes sense because I have never been in rehab before so I am taking this from what is shown in movies and on TV. I hope everyone enjoys it. Read and Review and please no flames.
" Now you have been with us for 3 weeks, so what I'm going to do is go over a little review and let you know what we still need to work on ok?"
Nosedive looked at Dr Jacobson, one of the directors at the clinic and nodded.
" Sounds good to me doc, but one question…when do you think I can go home?"
"Not for a while son, now lets begin."
Trying to listen to the doctor, Nosedive lost interest and just stared out the window. He couldn't believe its been 3 weeks since he got here, but to him it felt more like 3 lifetimes, since he first arrived at the Betty Ford Clinic.
Flashback
After the plane landed in Rancho Mirage CA, Nosedive was still grumbling, when he walked out of the terminal.
" I still cant believe my own brother did this to me, I will never forgive him for this, and Ill hate him for the rest of my life."
When he found his luggage, he noticed a man standing by the doors, with his name on a card.
" I guess you're the guy whose going to ruin my life huh?"
" Nosedive my name is Dr. Monroe, I am one of the head doctors at the clinic, I will be helping with your recovery."
"Yeah well doc I don't know who you talked to, but I have no problems, I am perfectly fine."
Smiling and softly laughing, Dr. Monroe, then led Nosedive outside and into the waiting car.
" Now its going to take us awhile to get there, so why we start by you answering some questions. Now how old are you?
Rolling his eyes, Nosedive answered
"16, Ill be 17 in November."
" Ok and who is your legal guardian?"
" My big brother, Wildwing."
" Last question, can you tell me something you did 3 months ago?"
Nosedive gave the doctor a dirty look then shrugged.
20 minutes later the car pulled up to a walkway and stopped.
" You can get out now we're here."
Giving a nervous glance at the doctor, Nosedive opened the door, and came face to face with 2 other people.
" Hi and welcome to the Betty Ford Clinic, my name is Dr. Jacobson and this is my assistant Robbie, please come in."
When they walked into the hall, Nosedive noticed there were a bunch of people sitting in a large white room and watching the news.
" I feel that just because you are here, you shouldn't be cut out from the outside world, so residents come in here to watch ESPN to CNN."
Nosedive walked down another hall, when Dr Jacobson led him to a big office.
" Now before Robbie shows you to your room, I want to go over your schedule for the next three months…"
" Listen doc, I hate to interrupt you, but I shouldn't be here, I am perfectly fine."
Taking a deep breath, Dr Jacobson, walked over to Nosedive and sat down next to him.
" Nosedive would a perfectly fine person drive a car through an arena?"
Nosedive just looked at the doctor so he continued.
" I know you are upset and confused right now, and we will help you, but before we can do that, I need you to admit to me you have a problem."
The young teen was about to answer him, when he spotted a newspaper clipping on the desk with the heading : " NHL Hockey player Nosedive Flashblade arrested for underage drinking and possession of illegal drugs."
He then noticed a color photo of him by the article, and smiled, but when he took a look at himself in a mirror, that was in the office, Nosedive took a sharp breath.
He had bags under his eyes, his eyes were all bloodshot and puffy from lack of sleep, instead of looking like he was 16 he looked more like he was 30.
" Do you see what drinking and drugs do to a person. Nosedive, the brother that you look up too and love with your whole heart, is so upset by this whole ordeal that as soon as you left, your team had to take him to the hospital."
Nosedive just fell back into the chair and quietly started to cry.
"Oh god I have a problem doc, I need help."
End Flashback
So now here he is 3 weeks later, in the same office, but this time going over a progress report.
" So all in all you are doing well in all of your activities and you have been sober and drug free for 21 days, which is very good, and even your appearance is a major improvement. Now what I want you to work on this week is during one on one therapy open up about your relationship with your brother and your relationship with Canard. As for group therapy, I would like you to talk about loosing Jeremy and how your behavior affected your family."
Nosedive nodded then left the office and went back to his room, until group therapy started. When he walked in, he laid on the bed and picked up a picture of him and his brother, after winning the Stanley Cup.
" Don't worry big bro, Ill make you proud of me again I promise."
Meanwhile 3 hours away, Wildwing was sitting in his room looking at the very same picture.
" I hope your doing good baby brother and I miss you like crazy, please don't be mad at me."
Then laying the frame gently down, Wildwing closed his eyes and fell into a restless sleep.
There you have it, chapter one, I hope it's ok, and I promise better chapters will come, read and review.
