We finally pulled up to the front of the building Aksana parked the car and looked back at me.
"Well this is it." Aj said staring at me.
"This is nice but I'm not going, so let's go get some Popeye's and go home." I suggested.
"Yea we probably should I could go for some chicken and mash potatoes." Aksana smiled.
"Yea we should I'm starving." Aj agreed.
"See I knew we were all on the same page! Let's go Sana to Popeye's we go!" I exclaim.
"Oh yea we will go right after we drop you off and get you settled in here." Aj smirked to which I just glared at them both.
"I hate you both like a lot."
"We love you to Vic but come on let's get in there and begin your road to recovery!" Aksana said happily as she took the keys out of the ignition and got out the car. Aj also did the same and she opened my car door so I could get out.
"Come on Vic get out the car!" She smiled to which I just closed the door back and locked it. "Oh come on you can't still be mad. It's a really nice place they even have a gym. I know how much you love working out!" Yea I do love working out but I still don't want to go. It was then that Aksana finished getting my bags out of the trunk and walked over to Aj and whispered something to her before she started to head inside with my bags.
"Tell her to bring my bags back!" I yell so Aj can hear me through the window.
"It's too late she's already inside. Don't worry she will be back soon. But for now why don't you get out so we can go inside too!" She tried to reason.
"Nope I'm good right here, thanks for offering though." I said plainly. It was then that Aksana emerged from inside without my bags but with to really buff guys in scrubs. One is a pasty white ginger with red spiky hair, and the other is looks like he could be Hawiian with really long black hair and some weird tribal tattoo on his right arm. And they are headed my way if she thinks I won't kick their asses she is sadly mistaken. The next thing I know both the car doors swing open and they have me trapped. I'll be damned if I let them take me in there alive.
So I put my hands up in surrender and the Hawaiian guy pulls me out and places me on my feet. Here goes nothing! So I punch him right in the nose he stumbles back and I take off running. I don't know where but I just run. Then I hear footsteps running after me, so I look back and fuck I forgot about the ginger one and the other isn't too far behind. I can see it the road isn't too far maybe I will makes it so I run faster. Then I feel a set of hands grab my arm and stop me. There is no way in hell I'm going down without a fight. So as soon a I turn around I swing at him and I miss fuck! Then he wrestles me to the ground and pins my arms down.
"Joe hurry up before she takes off again!" He yells in what sounds like some kind of foreign accent. But I don't like this one bit so I head butt him and he loosens his grip enough for me to push him off of me and get back to my feet. As soon as I get to my feet the long haired one tackles me, and good God was this guy a fucking football player. They may have me grounded but I'm not going to give them what they want. I start to struggle and hit him then the ginger grabs my arms and pins me down so now I can't move. Then I feel something stick me in my rib. That's not going to stop me I've been stabbed before.
"Jeez you are a fighter. I gotta say you really gave us a run for our money literally!" Chuckled the Hawaiian.
"You got that right but we've never lost a patient nor do we plan on it." Says the ginger. Yea I think he might be like Scottish or Irish.
"Ugh let me go I just want to go home!" I yell but then everything starts to go fuzzy. Damn it that wasn't a knife, it was a needle. "You fuckers drugged me! This isn't over." I manage to get out.
"But for now I think it is." Said one of them before I slipped into darkness.
XXXXXXXXXX
When I wake up I'm in some weird room on a semi comfortable bed. My head and my ribs hurt, I have no clue where I am and I just want to go home. As I look around there is an empty bed next to mine and the walls are all white.
"No! No! No! No!" I mumble as I pull off my blankets only to find my right arm is restrained to the bed by a handcuff and I'm in my pj's. "Hey sombody come help me out of this restraint so I can leave!" I shout. Only to have Aksana and Aj walk through the door. "Oh you guys are here! Please help me out of this so we can go home." I plead.
"Vic that is something I can't do for you. You have to stay here 'till you get better." Aksana said softly.
"I am better I learnt my lesson so I can go now. Do you see how they treat me here? Look at this they have me tied up like a dog. They won't feed me I haven't eaten in three days, they beat me if I refuse to take my meds. I can't live here anymore!" I cry
"Oh would you shut up and cut the shit! You've only been here for thirty minutes after you tried to beat up the guards." Aj said killing my vibe.
"Exactly thirty minutes to long. So it's been fun, we got our laughs. I get the point now take me home."
"Vic why do you have to be so difficult all the time? You know you can't leave until the doctor says you can." Aksana tried to reason.
"I hate you both seriously when I get out of here you two are permanently getting shut out of my life forever!" It was then that some weird looking guy holding a clipboard walked in.
"Well look who's up. You are a feisty one aren't you. I heard you put up quite the fight before coming in here." He spoke with a smile.
"And who the fuck are you!" I sneered
"Victoria that is no way to greet your doctor!" Aj scolded. "Hello Dr. Shelby sorry about her she is just still upset she has to be here." She said as she shook his hand.
"No it's ok all new patients act like this when they first get here. I promise by the end of her time she is going to want to stay forever! Trust me Mrs. & Mrs. Lee your cousin-in-law and cousin here is in good hands" He smiled.
"Well that's great! I guess we ought to head out now then right babe!" Aj spoke.
"Umm yea. Alright Vic you be good for Dr. Shelby here ok. So when we come visit you we might bring you a surprise." Aksana said giving me a hug
"Well I certainly hope you bring me a chainsaw so I can make my escape." I said seriously."
"Haha right! See you later Vic! Goodluck with her." Aksana laughed as she and Aj left.
"Well welcome Aero Springs Rehabilitation Center! I'm Dr. Shelby it's nice to meet you..."
"Fuck you I want to go home!" I respond
"Ok umm..." He began to look at his clipboard. "Victoria! Do you mind if I call you Vic?"
"Do you mind if I call you Dr. Asshole?"
"Ok Victoria it is then. Anyways there aren't to many rules you have to follow just the basics. No outside drugs or alcohol. There is a midnight curfew. No leaving the premises unless given permission. Every patient must attend group therapy. And you are part of..." He looks down at the clipboard. "Group D which is due to meet every Tuesday & Thursday. So that means every Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday you have to yourself to do what you want. And every Sunday you have your one on one session with me. Breakfast is 8-10 am, lunch is at 2-3:3:0 pm, and dinner is 7-9 pm. I will get you a copy of the schedule so you can remember." He spoke
"I don't like rules especially when they come from some scrub like you." I spoke plainly
"Well as you already meet them that is what Joe and Stephen are for. So if you get out of line you get to go to solitary confinement. But I believe you will love it here so much you won't want to break the rules, plus I get to decide if you leave or not."
"Touchè Shelby! But if you could remove me from these restraints I would greatly appreciate it." I smiled.
"No can do right now, but it is Thursday and you have your first group meeting today at 4 and it is..." He looked at his watch. "3:15 now. So you can just hang out here until then. I will send somebody to come get you when it is time to go. The remote to the TV is right on the left of you, and I look forward to our time together here. And remember smiles, laughter, and love can cure anything!" He exclaimed before he left the room.
Smiles, laughter, and love my ass! I really can't wait to go home and I'm hungry as fuck lunch is almost over and dinner isn't until 7. Fuck My Life! A few minutes later there is a light knock on my door and a guy walks in. He is about 6'5 with short brown hair. He was pretty buff also and both his arms were covered in tattoos. I guess he must be a patient here also.
"Well you must be the new girl. I gotta say you by far are the only person I've ever seen actually punch one of guards and then run. I'm impressed I like you already!" He said as he walked over to the side of my bed.
"Thanks I guess." I say back
"Yea well my name is Randal but I prefer you call me Randy." He said as he stuck his hand out for me to shake.
"Victoria nice to meet you Randy. If you don't mind could you help me out of the restraint?" I ask nicely.
"As much as I would love to help you, I can't unless you have the key to unlock it."
"Well thanks for nothing!"
"Well maybe you shouldn't have tried to run. It's just nice to see a new face around here. So I got you this as a welcome gift!" He smiled as he pulled a rice crispy treat out of his pocket and tossed it to me. "I figured that you might be hungry after that fight you put up, that and because I just had to see this bad ass chick myself. And you are quite the looker if I say so myself." he said with a smirk
"Ha thanks but I'm not really looking for a relationship I just want to go home."
"well thats too bad! Anyways its been nice meeting you I will see you around buddy and with that he just leaves. Well atleast I know there is one nice person here.
Haha oh Vic because pride is a wonderful thing. Next chapter we get to go to the group session. Anyway if you have held your breath underwater longer than thirty minutes chances are you are probably dead. -Joz
