Spencer's POV

"Sorry Miss Edwards, you can't leave until a parent or guardian takes you seeing as you're only 17."Shelley, one of the workers informed me.

"I'm sure you're father will be here soon."she added with a smile. I thanked her before she left the room leaving Harry and I alone.

"He'll be here."I Told Harry, mostly trying to tell myself. I mean my dad is a pretty okayish guy. He buys me clothes and shoes amd gives me money when i need it. Minus the whole usually drinks, yells at me, gets mad for no reason, and is a complete asshole most of the time, wait what was i trying to get at?

"Yeah don't worry probably traffic."he smiled. Yeah, traffic that's got to be it. This place it's about an hours drive so it's reasonable - with traffic- he could be an hour late. Right? One hour turned to two and two . I had become a zombie somewhere between the fourth and fifth hour. I still went about the schedule. Group meeting, room time group time.

"Miss.Edwards, your father is here. "The nurse said.i nodded slowly possessing the information.

"Wait really?"I asked."yes ma'am follow me. "I hugged my roommate and Harry before quickly following the nurse down the hall. I was lead to a door and after she unlocked it I immediately wanted to turn back around but the door was already locked shut.

"Spencer it's so nice to see you again! "Karen said hugging me like I just came back from vacation and we weren't in a lobby-like area of a psych house for suicidal kids.

I put my arm around her to not be rude, luckily the hug didn't last much longer.My dad shook my hand anf then pulled me into a hug. It felt forced, which wouldn't surprise me If it was. Michael pulled me into a hug immediately after my dad let me go.He squeezed me so tightly i was afraid I'd stop breathing.He was full of guilt and I knew it.

Now I'd be lying of I said I wasn't enjoying him suffer, but i felt terrible. I didn't want him to feel like I did. I didn't want him to end up being depressed and start cutting. I knew I needed to forgive him so, we could both move on, but that didn't mean I'd forget all the shit he's put me
