CHAPTER TWO –

Cassie's P.O.V

There was some screaming going on somewhere near me, two female voices. Fuck meI thought as I recognized my mom's deep voice and Emily's high pitched one. Well so much for having a good New Year's, where the hell was I anyways? I tried to open my eyes but they wouldn't budge. My head was killing me, all I could remember were some worried blue eyes and then all black. Did I faint or something? Suddenly I felt light headed again and I was gone.

I woke up to find myself in a white room; my mother was sleeping in the chair next to the window, there was a disgusting smell of medicine in the air and from the light that was entering the room it seemed it was past mid-day. I tried to get up in a sitting position but my head just pounded even harder.

"Son of a bitch, aaaargh" I let out and covered my mouth not wanting to wake up my mom. The door opened and a woman in white robes came in, surprised to see me awake.

"Well it seems that your better" she smiled.

"How did I get here?" I mumbled.

"Your friend Emily and Louis brought you here last night" she began, who was Louis?"They said they'll stop by today to see how you're doing"

"Oh right, thank you" I said. "When will I be going home?"

Her eyes shifted before looking at me and with a smile wider than before she said "Well we'll see about that"

Nodding I fell back into my pillow and looked at the ceiling, something was wrong but she wasn't telling me I could tell. Living 17 years of my life with my mom made me an expert of when someone was messing with me. I just ignored it for the time being at wished Emily would show up but as soon as I had thought that there was knock on the door. Doctor Mirfield opened to greet a stranger and my mom woke up. There were footsteps coming into the room but I was just looking into the hatred in my mother's eyes, disappointment, what a shocker.

"Hello Mrs. Hunter, I don't know if you recognize me from last night. I'm Louis Tomlinson" a voice said. I turned to find the familiar blue eyes from the night before. My mom took one look at him, then at me and left the room.

"Isn't she a charmer" he said taking my mom's seat beside the window. He was looking tired yet his childish face was intact.

"You should see her in a bad mood" I responded. "Don't mean to be rude but what are you doing here?"

"I came to see how you were doing" he said raising an eyebrow. "Sorry for worrying about your health, just wanted to help"

"I don't need your help"

"No? Fine, just remember that if it wasn't for me you wouldn't be here right now" he stopped, his eyes flicked to my wrists. "How long has it been?"

Ignoring the last question I tried to sit up again, biting my lip to keep me from swearing again. Louis was still looking at me, waiting for an answer that he was never going to receive.

Louis P.O.V

It was amazing to see that even after I had almost saved herself from being in a fucking coma, she's was still being so bitchy. Although I knew I had touched a nerve when I asked about the scars, they seemed so fresh. It was a shame that a beautiful girl like her would do such a thing. She wasn't looking at me, but I couldn't keep my eyes off her.

Doctor Mirfield came in once again, I never even noticed her leave, this time with a more serious expression on her face. She sat down on Cassie's bed and held out her hand. Cassie looked confused but stretched out her own, she winced as the doctor removed some of her bracelets.

"Your mom told me you have a certain… problem with drugs and" she held her arm up. "This" she said. Something wasn't right. "Listen Cassie we thought it would be best if you spent some weeks in an institution where they can help you out"

Cassie's eyes opened wide and anger spread across her face. She pulled her arm away from the doctor and looked at me like it was my freaking fault. I got up and walked to the door, I didn't want to be there. Emily appeared in the corner, obviously surprised that I was there.

"I wouldn't go in there if I were you" I advised her.

"Why?" she asked.

"Cassie's mom wants to put her in rehab"

"That fucking bitch" Emily said angrily. "She's just looking for an excuse to get rid of her. Move Lou, I need to talk to her"

She shoved me against the wall and sped up to her best friend's room.

Cassie's P.O.V

What was this fuckery? Me in fucking rehab? I stared at the doctor in anger. I wasn't going to no fucking institution.

"I'm not going" I said slowly, trying to calm down.

"Actually Cassie, it's already been done. Your mom signed the papers and will be moving you tomorrow" Doctor Mirfield said sternly.

"NO, I'M NOT FUCKING GOING" I shouted.

Emily opened the room, her face had no expression. She walked in slowly, shaking slightly. The only thing I could do was look into her eyes and I knew she understood everything. I wanted to cry, I wanted to scream, I wanted to fucking throw something across the room. This was happening, no.

"I swear I'm gonna find that bitch and kill her" Em said once Doctor Mirfield had left. "She has no right, she can't even call herself your mother. Cee, I'm gonna do the best I can to get you out of there"

"Just leave it Em. Don't do nothing stupid" I said bitterly. My life was over. "Can you please leave? I want to be alone" I asked her. She nodded, got up and smiled.

"Love you Cee"

"Love you too Em"
