The road to rehab took about half an hour, but for my parents it was the longest trip ever! My mum sometimes looked at me with tears in her eyes, hoping for any sign that I could feel her, but she never got one, and that caused her great pain. My dad was just driving trying to forget his destination in order to keep driving but he never could, I was his baby girl, and I was lost and he can t bring me back, he had to hold on for the three of us, himself, my mum, and me.
We got to rehab and my dad went in first to fill some papers, and a nurse came to help me settle in, my mum was with me the whole time, but I was never with her, I was still with my grandma, with the memories, with what could have been. The nurse took us to my room, it looked like the hospital room I ve just left, my mum put my bag on the floor and helped me sit on the bed and then said I will go see how your father is doing, okay baby? I didn t answer, so she kissed me on the cheek and a tear fell on my face, she was crying. She left and went to the office where my father sat, she sat next to him, held his hand and said she is in her room now my dad didn t even look at her he just said her room? She has her own room here? my mother said I know.. I know it s hard, but it is for her own good, she is going to get better, but she has to stay here for a while for us to get her back my dad nodded and said I know.. but still I can t accept the idea of leaving her here my mother kissed him and said I will go back to her, will you come to her room when you re done? my dad nodded so she hugged him and said I love you.. and she left.
She knocked at the door and came in, I was still sitting exactly like I was, she changed my clothes for me and then she tried to feed me but I refused. So she called the nurse and told her, so the nurse said we ll start an IV, in order to feed her, until she stops rejecting the food, ok ? my mum nodded holding my hand. Then the nurse made me lay down, she started the IV and then saw some tears falling from my mother s eyes while she is trying to stop them so the nurse said .. are you okay? my mother looked at her and then back at me and said she looks so lost, I don t know what to do anymore so the nurse took a few steps closer to my mum and said you are doing well so far , and she is going to be okay, it just needs some time my mum nodded and said thank you.. the nurse said it s my job, by the way my name is Katie, if you need anything call on me, ok? my mum nodded and then the nurse smiled at her and left. A while later my dad came, he found my mum looking out the window and I was asleep. He walked towards my mum and hugged her from behind and said how is she? my mum said the same I guess my dad said well I am done with the paper work and we have to go my mum said but I don t want to leave her by herself! my dad said remember your words? She has to stay here for a while for us to get her back my mum looked at me and then back at my dad with tears in her eyes and said when will we see her again? my dad said when she is back to herself, when she can see us too! my mum cried and then my dad hugged her so tight and said she will get there hunnie! She will and then he took my mother s hand and they both looked at me for the last time and left. My mother needed to talk to the doctor who said the diagnosis the doctors in the hospital made was right, nervous breakdown, she will take medications, therapy, and the most important thing is that we will isolate her from all her previous surroundings, because she needs to face what caused that severe shock, which is the death of her grandmother, and she will have to do this without you, or her friends, just doctors and nurses. My mother said and how much time do you expect it to take? the doctor said oh the shock she is suffering of is too harsh, and too sudden, it will take time, but how long? That depends on her, on gabriella my mum said okay.. thank you and then she stood and my father took her hand and they were leaving when she turned around and said to the doctor she will be okay, right? the doctor smiled and said we will try , we will do our best my mother said okay okay.. and then she left. My dad drove to the house, when they arrived my mother got a phone call, it was monica, she was checking on me, and my mum told her what had happened and what the doctor said and everything so monica said she will be okay , she is strong, I am sure she can make it through.. so my mother said yeah monica, I hope so and then she hung up.
For a month, my mother called the doctor daily to ask about me, and she heard no news, I was still the same. But once the doctor said , we need someone to come and see gabriella, someone she loves, someone she trusts, someone whose words would matter to gabriella. So my mum said I ve talked to her and so did her father and also her bestfriend.. how about a guy she is in love with? the doctor said sure, we should give it a try. My mother said okay I will call him and tell him to come over tomorrow and then the doctor hung up. So my mum called that guy and said troy.. I need your help
