Chapter 1 placement
It was the summer of 2014 anna's parents felt that she needed professional help . In there eyes she looked lost in the world she was 14 years old and didn't know what she wanted . It was that day her parents took her to a placement for kids that needed a little push . anna was so angry tho she felt sad and mad all at once , the feeling of betrayal went thru her head . Sobbing begging her parents to take her with them as they were heading for the car . The first day felt long ,anna felt alone she couldn't understand what about her made her parents feel that they couldn't deal with her being at home . anna walked into her temporary home for the time seeing so many other teenagers like her . She definitely knew her life at home with her parents had never been perfect ,with her mom and her arguing over stuff they could of probably resolved without so much anger coming from her . The weeks past and anna went to school and alot of groups she never knew what to say tho . Speaking up was never her best talent and talking about what she could of done better didn't help either . Hello there , you must be anna I will be your therapist well you are here . I'm Aaron , anna stared with a blank face she didn't know what to think of this new face in her life . They talked for about an hour first time was to get familiar with each other . We got done and they called a unit staff member to come get her new kids had to walk with an adult for safety reasons. anna had never really thought about her sexuality until she came to this place but with the loneliness feeling she wanted friends . Being confused and lost was never any teenage dream. She met some nice girls at school, of course it was strict so the social contact was kept to a limit . There was definitely no dating allowed at this place either it definitely took the fun out of things tho . But then she was there to work on herself, school was over thank god , the ability to focus on any subject other then art was never her best work . When she got back to the unit it was the usual schedule snack time mixed with homework time , ugg anna thought its a good thing she didn't have much. Her teacher had kinda scared her she was strict and kept a tight leash on them all felt like she could see everything from her desk . There was a knock on the door Ashley said , you got a phone call from your parents checking in on you . I gulped hard with the guilt in me what was I going to say I had gotten so angry about how they left things with me , I knew I couldn't ignore them forever. Hello? I responded on the phone, my mom was like how are you ? Are you doing OK ? Me and your father love you we just felt we couldn't give you the help we felt you needed , I'm fine mom anna responded, they treat you good here I have a therapist and a psychiatrist. She's actually a nun too . I'm glad your doing ok we just felt we needed to check in on you . Thanks mom i responded I didn't know how to feel with this phonecall. I felt this annoyance and slit anger wash over me as I hung up the phone , it's not fair not Fair i thought in my head . Why should I have to be the one to change ? I strolled back to my room and shut my door , I sat on my bed processing my life and my decisions I was 14 i was going to make mistakes no matter what !
