Traveling Through Darkness

Chapter 6.

                                           

     "Abella...Abella?" I felt a small prodding finger on my arm and my eyes opened. It was my mom. "I went and picked up your medicine." She sat on my bed and I moved my feet a bit. She held up a bottle and read through it. "Two a day...one in the morning and once at night." Ok? She smiled at me. "It's 7 so I'll give you one at 10." She stood up.

"Just leave them in here, I'll get it later." I waved her off and set my head back down on the pillow.

She looked concerned but set the bottle down on my bedside table and walked to the door. "Dinners ready if you want any."

"I'm good, thanks." My voice came out aggravated and annoyed, my eyes widened. I don't ever talk to her like that.

She looked taken aback but left the room, clicking the door shut softly.

What the heck is wrong with me? I rubbed my temples and sighed softly. I'll apologize later. My eyes wandered and landed on the bottle of Citalopram. Hmm, how many would it take to...What the [Insert curse word of your choice]. What am I thinking? I shake my head and stand up shakily. Hmm, I'm tired. I sat on the floor and stared at the wall.

"Hello there."

I looked up. How long had I been sitting there? I nodded at Timor slightly.

"You look down...Care to tell?" He sat next to me criss-cross.

I shrugged softly. "I don't know, I think I'm just tired."

He nodded at me. "Ok...well do you wanna-"

"Would you please just leave me alone!" I snapped at him.

He nodded. "Sure..." Then like that Timor disappeared.

A shaky breath escaped my lips and I ran my fingers through my jet black hair. "What is wrong with me?" My eyes got misty and warm tears streamed down my face. I gripped my hair and opened my mouth, wanting to scream but nothing came out but an uneven breath. "I just need to sleep, that's probably it." I laid my back on the floor, being too tired to wipe the sticky tears from my face. "Hmmm..." I breathed quietly and fell back asleep.
