Michelle entered her new house, her eyes still filled with tears. She
threw her bag on the couch and headed up the stairs towards her bedroom.
She pulled of her clothes and entered the washroom. She went into the tub
and sighed feeling the warm water soothe her body. She closed her eyes and
went underneath the water.
After she took a bath she slipped put of the tub and pulled on a pair of lose sweat pants and a black spaghetti strapped shirt. Then she lay on her bed and flipped on the TV.
A month later.
"Hey Mitch." Nick greeted as he flashed Mitch a smile.
"Hey." Mitch replied not looking up from the folder in front of her.
"How long have you been here?" Nick asked.
"A couple of hours." Mitch replied as she looked up.
"Wow, Looks like you haven't slept in days." Nick said as he saw the dark rings underneath Michelle's eyes.
"I haven't been able to sleep for a while." Mitch replied.
"Why not?" Nick asked worriedly as he sat down beside her.
"I've been having nightmares." Mitch said as she put her head in her hands and closed her tired eyes.
"About what?" Nick asked softly.
"You wouldn't understand." Mitch whispered.
"Try me." Nick said.
"I have to go." Mitch said before she stood up and left the room leaving Nick confused.
Mitch entered her room and sat down on her bed. She walked towards the full length mirror and pulled up her shirt. She winced as she saw the scar on her back. Her father had been very drunk and had hit her with his belt. She pulled her shirt back down and went down to her kitchen.
She was making coffee when a sharp pain ran through her stomach, she gasped for air as breathing became hard for her, her coffee mug fell on the floor and shattered. She fell to the floor hitting her head on the counter knocking her unconscious.
Mitch was knocked out of her unconsciousness when her cell phone rang. She reached for it breathing hard and answered it.
"Hello." She answered.
"Michelle! Where are you! You're late." Grissom shouted on the other line.
"Gil, I don't, I don't think I can make it. I, I need, help, help, now." Mitch managed to say in between gasps for air before she dropped the phone and fell back into unconsciousness.
Grissom put don his phone and grabbed his jacket.
"What is it?" Sara asked. She had become best friends with Mitch in the past few weeks.
"Michelle's in trouble, she sounded like she was in pain." Grissom said.
"What! I'm going with you." Catherine shouted as she stood up.
"We're all going." Sara said before they all stood up and followed Grissom out of the room.
They all rushed into Michelle's house through an open window. They searched the house when Nick finally found Michelle on the kitchen floor. Grissom immediately called 911. An ambulance arrived a few minutes later and brought Michelle to the hospital.
Catherine was sitting in the waiting room with the others when finally the doctor walked towards them.
"Are you the family of Michelle Willows?" he asked.
"Yes." Catherine said.
"I'm Doctor Watson. I'll be treating Michelle." He said.
"How is she?" Nick asked.
"Did you know that she had an eating disorder, and apparently too much stress and lack of sleep? Anyways she suffered from stress, lack of sleep and her eating disorder to make it worse. She hasn't had a proper meal in more then a week." Doc. Watson said.
"Will she be okay?" Catherine asked worriedly.
"We'll have to keep her for a week to observe her and give her the proper amount of food and rest." He replied.
"Can we see her?" Nick asked.
"Yes, but before you go see her I need to know something. Did she ever receive beatings when she was young?" Doc. Watson asked. All eyes turned to Catherine who had turned quiet.
