Liquid In Your Mouth

The orange pill bottle sitting on your kitchen counter was almost watching you. Full of pink cylindrical pills. The pills you would probably be on for the rest of your life. 

Luckily you had no more school so that wouldn't have to be a problem. You never had to go back to school again. College was finally over and you were a graduate. You could do whatever you wanted with your life.

School was usually one of the worst stresses on you for your whole life. 

The reason you chose to have a gap year before starting college. The reason why that gap year lasted four years. 

Of course, your parents hated this decision. 

The only reason you went back to school was because of Leah. 

The anxiety pills you have been taking every morning after breakfast would be there for you every day from now on. If you didn't take them in a minute, you would miss the every 24-hour mark. 

Your blood pressure would rise, your brain would overstimulate. 

The whole purpose is to slow down what your mind is thinking. 

They cause less anxiety and calms you down. 

Neurotransmitters. 

They release these certain chemicals in your brain and you're alright. You don't faint, you don't have panic attacks. You stay calm, cool, and collected in these situations. 

Most of the time, but not right now.

"What do you mean? Why are you in prison? Why are you fucking calling me in prison Savanna?"

It has already begun.

You could hear her beginning to cry. 

Were you too aggressive right away? Did you make her cry? God, there were too many things going on in your brain in milliseconds.

"I hurt her." She whimpered.

"Who Savi, who did you hurt?"

"My mom." She almost whispered. 

It wasn't an intentional whisper but it was just that thing when you cry so hard and have been crying so long, you could barely speak. 

You've had that feeling many times before. 

The sadness is caught in your throat it prevents air from coming out almost.

"Savanna..." You said in an intentional whisper. 

"She hurt them ok. She hurt them. I didn't know what else to do." She said catching her breath a little bit.

"Who did she hurt Savanna? WHO?"

"Emily and Noah. She told me. Emily. After I left, she told me how she hit em'. She physically hurt them Y/N. What else was I supposed to do?"

"Call the police! Anything then whatever you did. What did you do."

"Can I add you to my visitation list? Can you come to visit me this Tuesday?"

"Savanna I have work. I can't just drop it to see you for this. Besides I have my own shit going on ok. Roger is currently in a hospital, I am sending a guy to prison, I have workers coming over to repair our guest room windows after they shattered from the earthquake. I have a lot of stuff."

"Please Y/N. I'm your best friend. I have been there for you and you won't even come to visit me for one hour? For one day? That's all I'm asking and you would rather go to work? Leah won't come and visit me and you won't either?"

"How long is your sentence?"

"25 years." If you had any liquid in your mouth you would have surely spit it out. 

"What the fuck Savi what did you do?"

"I FUCKING KILLED HER OK!" Your whole body paused yet also kept going at a million miles an hour.

"Hey take it easy, inmate." You heard a man muffled in the background say. 

Oh my god, she murdered her mom. 

SHE MURDERED HER MOM. 

Your head felt full and dizzy. 

Your eyes rolled around in the back of your head and your arms fell limp against your sides. You dropped the phone and your whole body fell back against the ground with an oomph. You didn't even say goodbye to Savanna.
