I sat in the car beside Warren not really paying attention to where we were going. It didn't really matter it would just be to another hospital, but one where I had no friends to visit or familiar faces for comfort. I had no idea how long I would have to stay in this one either. I knew the system and if I wasn't careful I could be lost in it for a year or more.

I wanted to go home to my Nita, my precious daughter, nothing else in the world matter to me now, nothing apart from her. That's why I was with Warren, that how I had ended up here.

I didn't know what to think about Adam. He hadn't tried to talk to me since I had gone to see him. Had I over reacted to his words. After all he was bound to be hurt that I hadn't been able to confide in him, and he was in a lot of pain but still his words stung and kept replacing in my mind.

Warren pulled into the curb and smoothly brought the car to a stop. I didn't even bother to look where we were. Adam's harsh words were taking over my mind until I could barely breathe. I could feel my chest tightening at the thought of Adam never wanting anything to do with me ever again. I flung my left hand to the side and clawed at the door trying to find the door handle in my panic.

Eventually I felt the cool metal under my hand and tugged at it swinging the door open quickly and throwing myself into the fresh, warm summer morning. Fresh air hit my lungs and I immediately felt calmer and more in control, I desperately didn't want to make a bad first impression at this new hospital. I wanted to be in and out as quickly as I could so I could get back to my normal life with Nita.

And the beatings.

I would take them everyday, and I did just to be with her.

I regained my composure and for the first time I took in my surrounding. I stopped breathing. Were we really here? How on earth did this work? I looked down the familiar street, at the two rows of houses lit by the sun. I was home.

I scanned for Warren and found him at the top of the stairs to our house with the front door wide open his eyes transfixed on me. His key was still in the lock and he pulled it out viciously indicating that he wasn't in a good mood and I should hurry up and get into the house.

I grabbed my bad from the car slammed the door and scurried into the house. I could barely believe I was home. I'd been wishing to be here for so long and suddenly I was here with no warning what so ever.

I stood just inside the door looking around not really knowing where to go next. Warren pushed past me and made his way into the kitchen. I heard him flick the switch on the kettle on from my place in the hall but I didn't move. What should I do? I hadn't been in this house and allowed to be myself for what felt like half a life time and I was too over whelmed, and scared to allow myself to make myself at home.

"Are you just going to stand there all day?" Warren's annoyed voice startled me and I quickly made my way into the kitchen. Warren was leaning with his back against the kitchen counter and eyed me with what looked like amusement as I stepped into the room.

"Aren't you going to thank me?" He questioned but I was surprises because there was no hint of anger in it.

"Thank you," I said immediately, "But how?" I questioned still in a mild state of shock, I was actually standing in my kitchen. I had thought that this day would be so far way but here I was and my head just couldn't seem to grasp the concept.

"Your private hospital only has one patient." He grinned at me congratulating his own brilliance, yes he was actually grinning.

"Ohhh," I let out the small noise as I fell into his understanding. I had no idea how long he was going to be able to keep this charade up but I didn't think it would be long. Then I realised where I was and who I was talking to.

"That's brilliant." I said trying to make myself sound believable. He seemed to buy it, or he was too caught up in thinking how brilliant it actually was to take notice of me. He was going to hide me in my own house. Maybe people wouldn't clock on as quickly as I first thought.

All I wanted to do now was see Nita. I didn't know whether she was home or not. She probably wasn't as it was a school day but part of me hoped that Warren would have kept her off so that we could see each other.

I didn't think I could wait till three thirty to see her. Sitting around the house watching the clock wait desperately to see her. I'd probably have chores to do but the whole time my mind would be on her. If Nita was home she would have come down to meet me by now, I realised and my heart sank. Waiting till three thirty it was then.

I can't believe I'm on chapter 49 - nearly 50! Huge thank you to DennisDaMenace and charliecharlie for reviewing my last chapter. I'm so glad you're enjoying it, sorry about the cliff-hangers, I just can't help myself ;D hope you like it xx
