To Hell and Back

Chapter 4 - Gone forever

Chapter 4

The bell rang concluding the end of Ms Johnson’s art lesson. I was absent from college for a whole week since Riley’s accident. It was a Monday now and the third day since Riley’s woken up from his coma. His threats started again, my phone is already full of his messages telling me he will ‘sort me out’ sooner or later. The only thing preventing him from putting his hands on me is the hospital bed. I am thrilled to know he isn’t outside looking for ways to find me. Up until now I don’t know why he is so evil driven. His eyes alone could tear a person in pieces. I am terrified to wait for the day when I won’t be able to run from him anymore. He will be the end of me. My own flesh and blood will kill me.

I felt buzzing vibration pressing against my skin. I reached for my phone in my jean pocket and glanced at the caller ID. Tyler. I pressed the answer button and held the phone to my ear.

‘Mel!’ he chuckled. Always happy and cheerful.

‘What’s up Ty?’ I try to sound uninterested. It failed.

‘Come on sis, aren’t you at least a bit happy to speak to your brother in so long?’ he asked faking a sad sob.

I couldn’t help it. ‘Of course I am Ty! I haven’t seen you since that day! Where the hell have you been?’ I screamed into the speaker earning a few weird looks from people while at it.

There was a short silence before he spoke. ‘I’ve been at Mikes’. He sounded unsure but I left it.

‘When are you coming back?’ I screeched excitedly.

‘Here’s the thing Mel…I’m not.’ He said.

‘What do you mean you’re not?’

‘I am not coming back Mel. Never again.’

He sounded so casual. It seemed that it means nothing to him; I mean nothing to him.

‘But…but you can’t leave me here Ty!’ I cried.

‘I’m afraid I have to. Bye.’ He hung up the phone before I could say anything.

 This cannot be happening. It’s Tyler. He always cared for me; he never left me alone when I was in danger. Now it is the time when I need him the most and he left me. He left me all by myself. I fell to my knees and for the first time in 3 years I cried a heartfelt cry. Unshed tears fell from my eyes like a waterfall. I screamed and yelped and plead for this to be a dream. Yet the pain was as real and raw as it could ever be. People surrounded me and in the distance questions and voices echoed in my head. I stared at the phone in my hand which read ‘Tyler’. There was a picture of him on the screen. Messy brown hair with blond highlights, bright blue eyes just like the blue waters, bright smile that made you feel secure. All of that is gone. He’s gone. My only escape from reality has now vanished into thin air. My only consolation…has disappeared. What am I to do now? How will I live? How will I survive? I am so empty. It’s like the last piece of my heart has shattered into million pieces. It’s like it has been ripped out and torn right in front of my eyes. But then again, it has. The person that is dearest to my heart ripped my heart out and left me.

Well hello there,

I gathered that you might be confused as to what the heck happened these past 4 chapters and stuff so I will explain:

Basically 'Chapter 4' is where the story continues from where the 'Introduction' ended, she was in her art class and so on :)

Then chapters 1, 2 and 3 is what happened before the 'Introduction', so it's kind of a flash back I suppose and then it came back to where we are now :)

Hopefully it is not too confusing and I hope you enjoyed this story so far!

You may have realised that these chapters are short. I did this in order to make it quicker to read and stuff but i will be increasing the length of chapters from Chapter 6.

Okay I'm talking way too much now. Well then I'm out! <3
