Hidden

Chapter 20

I continued doing the cutting thing for weeks. Scott was still upset about his grandfather and barely talked. He would leave and I would sleep on the couch and I barely ate. I only weighed 110 pounds now. On one specific day Scott had left so what was I doing? Cutting in the bathroom. I walk out into the kitchen with bloody wrists but soon my vision is blurred. I heard the mail truck and collapse on the ground. I believe the mail man saw. I hear him bang on the door and call 911 but my vision was fading.

Was this it?

Was I going to die?

I hear the door bust open and paramedics come in. Lifting me up and started to help me but soon I slipped out of consciousness.

Is this the end?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I wake up in the hospital, the bright lights blinding me. I see my sister and her husband sitting near my bed.

"Lacy?"

"Oh Mitch thank god!!!"

She comes up and gives me a hug, her husband standing up and smiling at me, the clock behind him reading 10:30

"Where is Scott?" I ask

"Home, we told him to go rest.."

"Is he okay?" I ask

"Worried. Want me to call?"

"Yes please."

They walk out as a nurse comes in with food. My stomach growls as soon as my nostrils smell the food. She explains how underweight I am and that I need to eat and drink. I take little bites and watch the news waiting for Scott. My wrists wrapped for protection, I close my eyes and just breathe.

"Mitchie?"

I look up to see him, Scott right there with tears in his eyes, more and more tears coming out of my eyes

"I'm so sorry" I say shutting my eyes

He kneels in front of me and holds me close crying on my shoulder.

"I'm sorry. I should've never blocked you out like that, I never thought about how you would've been affected, I was so stupid."

"Shh, it's okay" I say holding his face

"I'm so stupid"

"Scott you just had a little bluff its okay"

"But it almost killed you...I would've died without you" he says holding onto my hand

"I love you so much"

"Don't leave me mitchie"

"I won't if you won't"
