Pines -- AKA Sick Minds -- is Callie's temporary home. Her mother
brought her here to get some help. Since she's been here, Callie
has not spoken a word. She thinks she may want to speak but she's
afraid. Afraid that the others will learn her secret. The others
consist of girls suffering from anorexia, substance abuse and other emotional
problems. Each day they meet for group and talk, talk, talk.
Callie just can't. She can't even talk to her psychiatrist.
She wants to but the words won't come out. When Amanada arrives at
Sick Minds, she is assigned to the group. When she announces to the
group that her "problem" is that she enjoys cutting herself, Callie is
horrified at the reaction of the other girls. They are repulsed at
Amanada's behavior. After all, how could anyone deliberately cut
themselves and cause such horrid scars? How will the girls react
when they find out that is exactly what Callie does? How can she
explain the power she feels when she does this? How can they understand
the feeling of the CUT? |
