It was a strange feeling, driving in this a car and looking at the rain outside. If it was because of the fact that she had just been in the hospital and her brain and body weren't quite working at a hundred percent yet, she didn't know. All Anna knew was, that everything was weird right now. She already hated this place she was going to, having hoped that she could slip out of the hospital relatively unnoticed after they'd treated her. All she wanted to do was get back out on the street and continue ruining her life. Little did she know that there was something very different waiting for her at this rehabilitation clinic. Anna Rae Hayden stepped outside in the rain and taken just inside the doors of the clinic, her bags being carried to somewhere unknown. She looked frail and scared at first, but shrugged it off and threw her usual face on - like she didn't really care. Jesus, I already hate this place. A lot of people were walking around, some of the patients and some of them staff members. One guy was standing at the end of the hall she was in, with some papers in his hands. He looked young. Around her own age. Anna wondered what a guy like him was doing here as a staff member took her by the arm gently and led her towards the young man.

"Anna?" A voice said though she didn't seem to hear it. He tried again and made the girl look up at him. Jim, the staff members was used to working with girls like her and knew how to handle them. "Everything is going to be fine, just relax and let us help you." Jim said and smiled at her.

Go to hell. Anna looked at him angrily as they stopped in front of the young man she had looked at when she arrived. She didn't say anything so far, and just looked at the two men to see what was going to happen next. A lot of things she hated were probably in store for her. Things like talking to other people. About herself. Therapy. "Counsellor?" She said, barely audible. Anna sighed at that, thinking that she didn't want to talk to anyone at all. She just wanted to be left alone, but apparently this young man was going to be the one she would talk to when she stayed there. Everything that had happened and everything that was happening, made her a little confused. It was so much to take in all at the same time. Plus, a drug overdose isn't something you just recover from with a snap of your fingers. Anna's eyes drifted to a nearby window and were fixed on the sky out there. It's darkening. Her mind went, thinking that it looked like thunder. Anna hated thunder. She would never admit it though it was obvious, but she was scared of it. She sighed again and looked at the young man as the other staff member left them, waiting for him to say something.
