|{History}|

Image

Samantha has always been the smart, shy kid in the classroom. She'd know the answer, but not raise her hand to the question. Samantha lost her mother when she was only five years old, due to self-harm. Her father treated them nicely, always bringing home flowers for her mother, and some candies for herself, after his work shift. To this day, she doesn't know why her mother left her on that foggy, September morning. She can still remember finding her in a pool of her own blood on her parent's bed, a knife jabbed in her heart...

Since that day, Samantha has vowed she'd never take her life like her mother unfortunately did. Samantha skipped the 4th & 5th grades, allowing her to graduate earlier than her friends. She went to medical school, and became a Registered Nurse, one of the highest in her class. While she was in school, though, she was always being picked on for not having a mother, or boyfriend. She hit an all time low, and became depressed. Her father found out, and wasn't going to outlive his wife and daughter. Soon after, Sam picked herself up, and became better. When she was only half a year clean, her father passed away from a cancer she didn't know about. Sam was strong for him, knowing it was what he wanted. She's been clean ever since, for three years now.

She came to Cherry Oakes with help from the Head Doctor, hearing about the low numbers of staff. She declined to be paid until the Institute was caught up in all their debts, because Sam would rather suffer than have a patient with an eating disorder get their wish, and not eat. She also heard about a recent incline in the number of depression patients and hoped to help relieve the Institute of some of their patients with her personal experience.

So begins...

Shuffling the papers on his desk, Greg sat down to another typical day at Cherry Oakes. Well... Typical being the questionable word.

Today was the first day back after the incident that had occurred. After the press got word it was important that the normality of the institution was upheld.
He began by taking out two case files from a large steel cabinet.

The first file he pulled was from a young male patient who suffered from depression. From what he gathered Ali, that was the patients name, was not fond of personal contact, though he was yet to have a one on one with that particular patient. Running this particular facility left Greg very little time to spend time with the patients, meaning he only had time for the extreme cases.

He placed the file neatly down on the table and jotted a few dates down for a potential therapy session.

The second file was a young girl with an eating disorder. Another patient he never got round to meeting personally.
He typed a number into the phone next to him.
' Can you get Samantha for me. I need her to arrange potential meeting times for some patients'

Ali sat in a rather uncomfortable chair his feet propped against a table he was watching the nurses unpack his things, of course they wouldn't find anything. Nothing that could be used to self harm or harm others. His razors were very well hidden, in the spines of books that could only be pulled out by the cloth bookmarks that most of Ali's books had, he had to keep up apperances that he was coping well with knowing that the world was out to get him. Smaller razors were hidden in the fold of jeans, in the soles of his shoes and after a few days he was sure he would find a new hiding spot in his room, perhaps in the bed or behind the dresser. The list was endless.

He watched as they looked through his art supplies, checking his paints and brushes as well as his drawing pencils, they took away his sharpener off course. They seemed confused when they pulled out a set of dumbells. " I'm afraid you can't keep these.." One of the staff members began. Ali stood up quickly striding over to the staff member " What did you say?" " I said I'm afraid you can't keep these in here, but you can use them when you can go outside. You will have to talk to Dr. Lipman, to see if you can have them some where else"

Ali couldn't help but chuckle to himself " you really think I'm going to ask a random person for my weights back when I have brought them from my own pocket. But hey I'll conform to your doctors rules for the short while I will be here" Ali pushed passed the nurse grabbing his sketch book and pencils as well as his iPod. Swearing in italian as he left.

He walked around the house for a while getting a feel for the place, finding a room with a window seat he sat down putting on his music he began to draw.

Samantha entered the office and Greg looked up and gave her half smile. She apologized for being late, which he waved off.

' No need to worry Samantha. I just need a few meeting arranged with new patients. I have a pretty hectic schedule with the press... I might need you to do the initial background reading on them... you know basic questions, getting to know them?'

He looked up to see her reaction. Though he didn't let it show, he trusted Samantha the most out of all the staff in Cherry Oakes. He often relied on her judgements on the patients before anyone else's.

' I trust that wont be a problem for you. Of course any problems just throw them my way'

Greg shuffled the papers once more and cleared his throat, he began to jot down a few more notes from the case files.

Of course any problems just throw them my way'

Samantha sighed a sigh of relief as he so casually waved off her first late in a while. She nodded, listening as the doctor spoke.

"So.. you want me to go and get to know an 'Ali DeGari' who is supposively suffering from depression, and a girl named 'Roseabelle Young' who has an eating disorder, doctor?"

Samantha scratched the back of her neck with her pencil, as she had scanned the folders and his notes. She knew Dr. Lipman favored her a little more than the other staff, as she was the one most constant in his office.

"No sir, it shouldn't be a problem." She muttered, standing up, and brushing her pants legs off, then heading to the door. "Be back soon." She sighed, and left, shutting the door quietly behind her. Samantha went straight to the front desk where she learned Mr. DeGari was in the process of being checked in, and they were just taking Ms. Young to her quarters. Then, she looked up, and saw a girl, sickly thin, trailing the walls, as she walked weakly. Samantha walked towards her, a warm smile on her face, as she held Roseabelle's case file.

"Hey, you're Roseabelle, right? I'm Samantha, and will be here to help you." She smiled, and stopped a foot away, in case the girl tried to retreat to her room.

Rosea was spaced out in her own world thinking about what may happen to her being here. Then she heard a woman approach her cautiously.

"Hey, you're Roseabelle, right? I'm Samantha, and will be here to help you." The woman smiled as she spoke to her. Rosea looked at her for a few moments.

"Yes, my name is Roseabelle, nice to meet you Samantha." She wasn't sure whether or not to trust this new face Samantha. She seemed alright at least for now. Rosea decided to slowly take a few steps back.

Rosea watched the young woman carefully. She got on her knees and rifled through a folder. Was that her name? She thought suspiciously.

She watched Samantha show her am old photo of her. Rosea was about 11, her hair up for ballet practice. She remembered it was right before her teacher had told her those very words that made Rosea think. She heard Samantha call the girl in the picture pretty. This made Rosea tear up a little. She balled her fists and bit down on her cheek. She had hated looking at that picture.

Without showing emotion Rosea just stared at Samantha. Then she handed her the button. Rosea took it from her hand and held it loosely. She then started walking slowly backwards to her room. Without letting her eyes move from Samantha's she opened her door and stepped inside. Then broke her gaze and closed the door. As soon as she had shut her door from further connection with Samantha, she looked at the button. Samantha's words echoing in her head about getting her back. She shook her head angrily and threw the button on the chair in the corner. She looked at it glaring. There was no way she was going to be like that again.

Rosea started to practice her ballet in her room. Using the wall as a bar. The silence soothing to her and the words from Samantha fading. Rosea was back in peace.

Samantha soon decided to look for her next patient. She started at his room.

Knocking softly on the door, she squeaked it open. "Mr. DeGari?" Nope. She walked around, until she found what seemed to be an empty room. "Mr. DeGari? There you are." She smiled, and started to walk towards him, but flashed her head down, as if she didn't or hadn't noticed his tears. "Is it alright if I ask you a few questions regarding your stay here? Please?" Samantha looked up then, and had a happy smirk to her face, and tapped her fingers nervously on the files.

Ali folded his arms against himself pulling his hood over his head, he rubbed his forehead and looked over as a young woman approached him holding a clipboard. Oh great another person to bother him with pointless questions, he would play along for now and answer he dumb questions. Keeping his arms folded he nodded.

" Sure I'll answer your questions, Io non ci sto lungo comunque ( I'm not staying long anyway)" he replied looking over at her, she was about his age but she was much shorter than him. Although everyone was shorter than him, except for men they were evenly matched.

Ali couldn't help but laugh at her question, he didn't know how this question was relevant to his so called " recovery process" at this place. He didn't do relationships really, they didn't seem to suit him. He was friegtened that if they got into a serious relationship and if Ali tried to kill himself it would affect everything. Relationships were pointless the sooner they begin the sooner they end.

" Is that really on there? Why do you need to know if I'm in a relationship or not? Worried that someone from the outside is going to send me stuff that I can kill myself with? Well you don't need to worry about that...I haven't been in a relationship for years. Next question" he said leaning against the window running a hand through his hair.

"Neither have I.." She frowned at his negativity, but she could relate, so she wasn't getting emotional like she usually did. "Um, next question... Are you concerned with the other patients while you are here? Things like a patient hurting himself, or killing himself." She asked, looking down at her clipboard. Afraid she'd cry if she made eye contact with him. He seemed very.. uncaring. But maybe it was just the disorder talking. Maybe the real Ali was nice, and gentle. Loving, even?

Ali didn't notice the young girl comment about her not being in a relationship either. Obviously she was trying to get on good terms, he had seen it all before, people trying to relate to him to get him to open up to them about his problems. He smirked to himself and scratched the back of his neck as he listened to her question about him being concerned about other patients harming or killing themselves.

Shaking his head he replied " I've only just got here, I haven't even seen anyone else here except for staff. So how can I be concerned about people I haven't even met yet?" He swung his legs down on the floor holding up up his hand spreading his fingers out. " right let's get this over and done with." He pointed to his thumb " Number One I have no allergies or dislikes to food I just choose to eat healthy. Number Two I do want to die and I don't plan to be here that long. Number Three I exercise around two to three hours a day mainly depending on how I feel, so I would appreciate if you stayed out of my way. Number Four I don't like people getting into my business and I won't get into yours and Number Five don't try to get on my good side cause you be clutching at straws. Now if you'll excuse me" Ali stood up grabbing his music and his drawing pad he walked out of the room finding his own room shutting the door behind him. He lay on the bed his music in his ears as he finished his drawing.

A gentle tap roused Greg from his heavy pile of paperwork.
' Come in' He announced before standing up and walking over to the filing cabinet.

It was Samantha, back already from her rounds. She seemed somewhat dazed and confused and not at all her usual hard working self.
' Is everything okay? he asked.
