Feeling Of Freedom

She was right, all that night Summer didn't sleep at all. Despite her tries, she couldn't drift off to sleep. It was annoying. It got to 6am and she managed to sleep for a solid hour before awakening again. She decided to get up.

It was Saturday today and she'd planned to go shopping with Marissa. After the bad night she needed some retail therapy to cheer her up. Summer had also decided to tell Marissa about her flashback. Telling someone might make her feel better and she definitely wanted some sleep tonight. Summer opened her closet and waded in to prepare her outfit, trying to shake the horrible nagging feeling that was taking over her body.

"SETH!" April bounced into her brothers room, yelling his name at the top of her lungs. Seth rolled over, groaning, and checked his clock.

"Oh April, its like 7am. I need something called sleep," he moaned, pulling his duvet over his head.

"I don't care. You're lazy so you have to get up!" she grinned.

"No I don't, go away or I'll shout Mom."

"Fine! I'll go and see Ryan anyway, he's my favouriteet brother!" She scowled and stomped out of the room. She ran over to her room, slipping on her fluffy pink robe and matching slippers before running down the stairs.

"April Sophie Cohen, freeze." She stopped as she heard her Dad's voice drift out of the study.

"Whassamatter Daddy?" she shrugged innocently. He walked over to her.

"What are you doing up this early honey?"

"I went to see Seth but he's boring so I'm gonna see Ryan because he's my favouritest brother!" she nodded. Sandy chuckled as he scooped her up into his protective arms.

"Did you tell Seth that?"

"Yep." Sandy laughed and tickled her.

"Now I don't think Ryan will wanna get up this early so lets go watch T.V. for a while huh?"

"Yeah!" Sandy bounced his daughter in his arms as he carried her into the living room.

"Oh Daddy wait!" April cried. He frowned as she jumped out of his arms and ran to the kitchen. On the island a deep brown jacket laid and April stood on her tiptoes to pull it down.

"This is Summer's! She left it here," April announced.

"Oh," Sandy raised his eyebrows, "Well we'll give it an hour and call her. Now come on, race you to the T.V.!"

"Hey Cohen," Summer kissed Seth as he opened the front door. Marissa was stood behind her as they were on their way to the mall. Summer had gotten the call about her jacket and stopped by on her way to the mall. Seconds later, April was bounding over and leaping into Marissa and Summer. The girls laughed and hugged her.

"Hi Summer, Hi Marissa," April beamed.

"Oh I love your skirt Ap, is it new?" Marissa asked.

"Yeah, Mommy bought it me yesterday!" She twirled and the girls laughed while Seth rolled his eyes.

"So is Ryan here?" Marissa asked.

"Yeah, he's in the pool-house," Seth replied.

"I'll just go say hi."

"Don't be long!" Summer called after her.

"April, go get ready, Mom's gonna be back soon and she's taking you to go see the pony's," Seth said to April who smiled and nodded before bouncing up the stairs.

"So, Summer, are you okay? You look really tired," Seth said quietly, moving closer towards her. Summer feigned shock but smiled after.

"Uh, I just didn't sleep well last night."

"Oh, too busy thinking about a special person you know…?" he joked. She hit him playfully.

"No, actually, far from that. Uh, Seth can I talk to you about something I was thinking about yesterday because I think Marissa may be a while."

"Sure, come to my room so we can lock out April, the three year old spy." Seth led Summer upstairs, wondering what was so important.

An old, balding man walked down the corridor, flanked by a much younger, blonder woman. She was tottering on extremely high heels and wearing a very short, tight skirt. She had long, dyed hair and a huge ring was on her third finger indicating that they were indeed married. He was a very smiley, jolly man, but a little on the chubby side. They were a very mismatched couple in more ways than one. They reached the small reception desk and walked over to it.

"Hello there Sir, welcome to Wallis Recovery Centre. How can I help you?" the small woman sat behind the desk greeted the couple brightly.

"Hello there, I'm Mr Richard Walker and this is my wife Amber Walker." The woman behind the desk raised her eyebrows but still smiled warmly.

"We're here to pick up my daughter, Ava. She's being discharged today."

"Oh, Ava! Right, well would you like to take a seat in the room just over there. The doctor is just talking to her and she's gathering her things." The couple nodded and left to the room opposite the desk.

"How long is this going to take honey?" Amber asked, pouting.

"Oh not long dear, not long." Richard patted her hand.

"Well, I have a nail appointment at 1pm," Amber replied.

"Well, we'll leave if it gets too late then. She can spend another night here if she has to," Richard said huffily.

"Great, thanks Ritchie." Amber kissed him and Richard felt relieved.

Ava sat alone in her bare room, staring at the cold, blunt walls. There was no warmth in this room. It had been stripped in preparation for the next patient. Ava was so glad to be going home. She hated this place so much. People constantly there, hovering around and asking her how she was. Home would be ideal. Her Dad would be too busy with his wife, if you could call her that. Ava preferred gold-digger, because that was her motive. It was so clear, her stupid dad was just too blind to see it.

Ava hated Amber so much, she just reminded Ava of all those girls who made her life hell. Who drove her to be imprisoned in this hell hole. But getting out of here was the end of the first stage of her plan. Upon arrival, Ava had bottled up all her feelings and shut out the world. She was nice to people, despite how much she despised them, she even ate the stupid protein high meals they gave her. This 'positive' attitude had paid off and she was outta here.

See, this led nicely onto part two of her plan. While she was in the institute, she couldn't do anything, nothing at all, she had to sit here biding her time and now that she was out she could do whatever she wanted. And top of her list was getting revenge. Getting back at all those stupid bitches who humiliated her and made her turn into this person that she was now. They made her stop eating, they made her depressed but now the tables would turn. Ava wasn't sure about how she'd get revenge but it'd be extreme. She didn't care anymore, why should she? What she did know was that she'd have to make a hit list, all the people she needed to traumatise. Oh this was going to be good.

There was a knock at the door and a nurse appeared.

"Your Dad's here sweetie. You ready?" Ava looked down. This was it. She was free, finally.

"I sure am," she smiled. Ava got up and glided out of the room, saying a silent farewell to this awful prison.

So Summer had told Seth. And she was happy for doing it. The nagging feeling had gone and she felt almost free. She was driving to the mall now, Marissa sat beside her, blabbering on about Ryan. Summer just smiled and nodded at everything Marissa said. She had a feeling that today was going to be good. For starters, Seth had asked Summer on a date tonight, they were going for a meal at Al Forno so Summer had to search for a new outfit. S

he reached a traffic light and it just turned red. The car pulled to a halt and another pulled up alongside it, in the other lane. Summer glanced over and did a double take. All the colour drained out of her face as she saw the person sitting in the backseat of the large Jaguar. It was an older, thinner Ava Walker. It must have been. Or someone with the same drawn expression.

Summer was sure of it. She shook her head, thinking she was hallucinating. But she wasn't, she couldn't be. The light turned green and the Jaguar sped off into the distance, Summer still sat, frozen to her chair.

"Summer? Summer!" Marissa prodded her arm and Summer shook her head, stamping on the accelerator.

"Are you okay Sum? You look like you've seen a ghost!" Marissa said, looking concerned.

"Uh, oh I'm fine Coop, I just think I…" Summer began. Marissa raised her eyebrows.

"Nothing, I'm just tired."
