Struggling Through Detox

Ambers (BHT) POV

Today is Adelaides first official day clean, she is struggling really badly, I've had to change her sheets 5 times already and it's barely 2 pm.
She has not gotten up to eat, shower, smoke, she's just been in bed, throwing up into the bucket I gave her, I've had to empty it 5 times since last night, this poor girls body is literally going through hell to get back to normal.

She has had 3 seizures.

Her girlfriend Demi has called about 4 times to ask how she is doing, it's a good thing Addy signed a release form last night when she came in, or else we wouldn't be able to give Demi any information on Addy.

I walk down towards Adelaides and Marcella's room, open the door slowly and walk in, Adelaide rolling around in bed pulling at her hair, her face a dark red and her clothes and sheets soaked in sweat, poor Marcella has been really worried about Addy, holding her hair back for her as she throws up, and just trying to keep her company so she's not alone.

"Addy..? Sweetheart? You need to sit up so you can take your subutex love"

Addy groans as she tosses more before finally sitting up as best she can, her body trembling and her eyes constantly rolling back

"This will help you with the detox process love, it will make it a little easier okay?"
Addy simply nods softly at my words

"Keep it under your tongue until it dissolves okay?"
Once again she simply nods, taking the med from my hand and placing it under her tongue, her eyes are watering and tears are streaming down her face

"Hey.." I grab her hand as I pull a chair next to her bed and sit besides her, my hand holding onto hers firmly

"You're going to get through this okay? You're a strong girl, you've done it before, and you can do it again. You'll come out a stronger person. We're all here, and we're all rooting for you okay? You can do it my dear. I know it might not feel like it right now. Trust me. I understand What detox feels like. But you can do it. You're one day into this. Today is Sunday, in about 4-5 days, you will start feeling better, by Friday you will feel a little back to normal. And you will start to eat again. Okay? If it helps any, your girlfriend has called like 4 times already, asking about you and wondering how you were. I let her know the state you were currently in, and she told me to tell you that the pups and her can't wait for you to get back. She said she took them out to the dog park this morning and then got them an ice cream cone, and they miss you so much" Addy let's out a deep sigh as she lays back down, pulling the blanket over her head and turning to me, her body still sweating and shaking vigorously

"I just.... can't believe I'm back here..." she finally says

"Listen, I'm sure you've already been told this. But relapse is a part of recovery. Sometimes in order to finally beat the disease, you must relapse and hit rock bottom again. Once you come out of the other side, you will see things clearer than before. You shouldn't be shamed by this. This is a step in the right direction. Okay?" She softly nods as her eyes roll back into her head again, she clutches onto the blanket, her body still shaking as she tries desperately to fall asleep, but, when you're detoxing there really is no sleeping, your body feels like such absolute shit, that no matter how hard you try, and beg. Your body will not sleep. Your head just feels like it's going to explode. And your eyes flutter when you try to force them to stay closed.

I squeeze Addys hand as I get up from besides her and go back out to finish rounds.

Demi's POV

*8 hours later*

I've called the hospital like 10 times today..
I just want Addy next to me, but she needs to get better first.
