broken hearts and last goodbyes [ OPEN ]

[Deleted]

Akira Darr walked into the hospital, looking around and taking a big sigh. It smelled just how you would think; old people and pee. She sighed again, pulling at her black and purple dress and shoving her toes farther down into her black heels. She walked up to the front desk, giving a small smile to the lady and asking where Meghan Darr's room was located. Room 275. She smiled and walked over to the elevator, pressing the up button repeaditly. She had very little patience.

Dr. Derek Stiles was making his rounds and was getting ready to check the psyche ward paitents. One in particular seemed to be doing alot better lately, Meghan Darr. She was checked in on account of homicidal tendancies. Towards her own daughter. She hadn't said a word about her daughter in months, so he hoped that she was progressing and that maybe she'd be able to be relaesed soon. He got on the elevator when it stopped at his floor and pressed the third floor button.

Akira got off the elavator on the third floor and looked around to find the room. It had been a while since she had visited her mother, and she was scared. She knew her mother doing better, but it still scared her. Her mother had tried to kill her, and that was what scared her the most. What would happen when she saw her mother; would Meghan be happy that her daughter was there or would she try to murder her again. Akira looked around, trying to find a Doctor who would tell her where the room was. She'd rather not get lost.
The elevator doors opened and she turned around, coming face to face with the cutest doctor EVER. "Hi, could you tell me where room 275 is?" Akira asked, smiling politely.

[Deleted]

Derek was brought out of his trance of annoyance from the elevator music by the sound of a girl asking where a room was. "Room 275 is down the hall to the right, I'm headed down there anyways to do my rounds. May I show you the way, if that's okay with you?" He asked her stepping out of the elevator. "I'm Dr. Stiles, Derek Stiles, by the way. What's your name?" He figured it was definitely an important thing to do...introductions.

[Deleted]

"Sure." Akira smiled, walking with this 'Dr. Stiles' to her mothers room. "Nice to meet you Derek. My name is Akira, but you can call me Arie if you like." She smiled again, rubbing her arm gently, something she did when she was nervous, which she was. She got very nervous when meeting new people, especially boys. Especially cute boys. She was very scared about meeting new people cos of her mom had burnt a mental scar into her mind about new people. "Thanks for showing me the room, by the way."

[Deleted]

"It was no problem Arie, she's one of my paitents so I didn't mind showing you. She's been doing alot better lately. How do you know Meghan anyways?" Derek asked her very curious. Was this girl her cousin, much younger sister, sister-in-law? as long as this really pretty girl wasn't Meghan's daughter. He didn't want her to lose her mind when she saw Akira. More so, she didn't want Akira to be the target of this women's homicidal tendancy.

[Deleted]

"Oh, she's my mom." Akira smiled, nodding her head. She knew he would freak out, but she wanted to see her mom. Even after Meghan tried to kill her, she loved her. She was her mom after all. "You said she's been doing a lot better? Have you put her on medicine or what? Just beat her senseless until she listened? I think that's illegal nowadays, but I'm not one to judge or tell. Oh, I'm sorry. I'm babbling, aren't I? I do that a lot. Especially around cute guys. Crap." She sighed, rubbing her temples. Not 2 seconds after she meets the guy and she's already embarrassed herself.

[Deleted]

"Cute am I?" Derek thought. Nice to know. But anyways to the much more important thing that was about to go down. "Um, no she's on some psychological meds, they seem to be helping alot. are you sure that ou wanna go in there and see her? I mean, it says in her file that you're the one that she tried to kill. This sems a bit risky don't you think?" Derek asked her. He knew that, Meghan being her mom and all that, no duh, she loved her. He thought that Akira'd be smarter than to just waltz in and be like 'hi mom, it's me, your daughter you tried to kill.' Although he was ninety-five percent sure she wasn't going to say that, it may be what Meghan heard in her very small insane mind.

[Deleted]

"Cos I love her, and I miss her. I know she probably still hates me, but I want to see her." They were now outside of the room. "I understand if you think it's a bad idea, but I don't care. She's my mom, and I want to see her." Akira knocked on the door and walked in.
"Hi Mo-" She paused. "Hi Meghan." She didn't want to reveal her identity just yet, in fear of her mom having another episode and trying to kill her once again.
"Hello dear, what's your name?" Meghan asked sitting up in her bed and smiling at Derek and Akira. "My names Arie. It's nice to see you again, mom."

[Deleted]

Derek heard the word 'mom' leave Akira's lips. Oh no, this can't go well. He saw Meghan's face distort in confusion. She had turned her head sideways. He was almost sure, on account of how long she'd been in the hospital (about five or six years), she prbably didn't remember her own daughter by a nickname, but by Akira. So, maybe the confusion would give Derek enough time to come up with a plan to keep Meghan calm when Akira finally did tell her mom that it was her. Maybe she hadn't completely understood.

[Deleted]

"It's Akira, remember me? I missed you." Akira took a step closer, biting her lower lip. She didn't know what her reaction would be, but she didn't care at this point. "Akira? Oh honey, how I've missed you. Come here, sweetie." Meghan motioned for her to come closer, holding out her arms for a hug. Akira smiled happily, walking over to her mother and hugging her. She didn't notice the fact that she had extremely long and sharp fingernails, or that they were inching towards her neck. She didn't notice until it was too late. She left a small slit on the side of her neck, barely missing that big ass arterie in her neck that would have killed her. "Mom? What the hell?" She tried to jump back but Meghan grabbed her arm, digging her nails into the skin and pulling her closer. "Let go!" Akira screamed, flailing her other arm.

[Deleted]

Oh shit. This is exactly what he met by 'very bad idea'. No one ever listens to the doctor. Never. He could just stand there and watch and be like 'I told you so.' But that would go against the Hippocatic oath. Well, here goes nothing. He ran across the room and grabbed at Meghan's hand. "Meghan! Meghan!" He knew she probably couldn't hear him, but that was one of those things that everyone says to get someone's attention. "You've got to calm down, your mom would be very disappointed in you." That was one of the reasons she was the way she was. Her mom hated her and it drove her insane and she thought that she'd never be good enough. "Mom? is that you?" Meghan asked sounding like a small child and letting go of Akira. Derek grabbed Akira by her good arm and dragged her out of the room while Meghan was looking for her own mother. "Jeezus. You don't like making people's jobs easy do you?" Derek asked breathing heavily. Stupid anxiety.

[Deleted]

Akira didn't say anything, all she did was let out a sob and collapse into the Doctor's arms. She grabbed her own arm, tears rolling down her face. "I-I th-thought she was b-b-better." She stammered through her tears and shocked-ness. "I'm so s-s-sorry." She whispered, pressing her face into his neck. She didn't care that he probably had a girlfriend, she just needed to someone to be there for her at the moment.

[Deleted]

Oh no. He hated seeing girls cry, or sob for that matter, it made him feel bad. Especially when it was a girl he liked. Before he knew what was happening she was in his arms and her face was burried?--in his neck. He put his arms around her shoulders and tried his best to comfort her. "Listen, I'm sorry I was mean like five seconds ago, I didn't mean it. I'm sorry she acted the way she did. She hadn't mentioned your name in months, we thought she was getting better. I'm so sorry." He whispered in her ear, also doing that weird 'shhh' thing to try to help in the effort to calm donwn Akira. The best he could think of at the moment was to hold her close to him. Hopefully that would help? *sigh*

[Deleted]

"It's not your fault. You didn't know." Akira murmered, her voice muffled against his skin. She loved being this close to him, it made her feel almost...whole. Like the part that her mother took away from her left a large hole in her chest, but being with Derek, the hole was being filled up. "Um, can you help me get my arm cleaned up, it kinda hurts?" She held up her bleeding arm, showing the deep incisions her mother's nails had left. It didn't hurt as much as the pain of knowing her mother still hated her did.
