Chapter 12
Forty minutes into the film and my phone started to ring. What was wrong now? Without even a glance I pressed the accept button on my phone to receive the incoming call because I knew full well it would be Ryan. I got a big shock.
“Hello sweetie, how’re you doing?” A filthy voice cooed down the phone. This voice couldn’t be mistaken for anyone other than Cam.
“Oh, it’s you. I’m fine. Why are you calling, Cam?” I demanded.
“I have some brilliant news for you. Fay already knows and she’s delighted so I’m sure you will be too.” She babbled.
“Why does it concern me?” I asked, “Cam I don’t live with you anymore. I have nothing to do with you.” I snapped at her impatiently.
“Give me a chance Ingrid. Why can’t you just be pleased for me for once?” She changed her tone.
“I’m never going to be pleased for you Cam, you betrayed my family. Come on then, spit out the wonderful news.” I continued.
“Well,” she started, “Me and Jonas got engaged over the weekend and we’re planning our wedding as we speak!”
“WHAT?!” I screamed, nearly choking.
I hung up the phone and ran upstairs. Not only did she sleep with this bloke in my dad’s house but also my dad’s bed, and what’s worse she was now going to completely replace my dad with him. It was all too much to take in.
I opened the bathroom door and turned on both of the bath taps. Storming into the bedroom, I opened the wardrobe and pulled out a fresh packed of razors. I ripped it open and with almighty force and the razors flew across the room. Once I had retrieved one, I went back to the bathroom to see how my bath water was doing. The water had three quarters filled the bath. I turned off the taps and plunged myself into the bath, still in my clothes, with great shock at how hot it was. I pulled up my sleeves and took the safety clip off my razor.
Turning over my left hand, I made a deep gash in my wrist. By then my whole body was shaking as I struggled to swap hands and do the same to my right wrist. I felt incredibly ill and also very confused. I didn’t know what was happening and to my horror I looked down and saw blood gushing from my wrists. I was losing the feeling in my body and I had to concentrate to see clearly.
Suddenly, I heard a huge crash and footsteps running up the stairs. Cam appeared in the doorway of the bathroom.
“SHIT,” was the last thing I heard her scream before blacking out.

Ryan had just reached the place of his brother’s interview when he got a call on his mobile.
“Hello, is this Ryan Gray.” A voice spoke.
“Yes, I’m sorry, who is this?” He asked in return.
“Teresa Heart Hospital emergency staff. I’m sorry but you’re required to get here as soon as you possibly can. A friend of your has had an accident, Ingrid brooks.” The lady answered.
“Oh my god. I’m at least an hour’s drive away. What’s happened?” Ryan panicked.
“Ingrid isn’t likely to live for that much longer. I’ll speak more when you get here. Please be quick sir.” The nurse pleased. With that, Ryan threw Jordan’s paperwork to a receptionist and speeded off towards the hospital.

My eyelids fluttered as I tried to remember what had happened. I felt a sharp, shooting pain on both my arms, as well as my stomach, and I couldn’t move.
“She’s waking up.” I harsh voice said.
In a matter of seconds I had lots of people in awful green uniforms clustered around me.
“How do you feel?” A Caribbean man with an afro asked. “I’m sorry but we couldn’t save the baby.”
My heart started racing as I processed what he had just said. ‘THE BABY’.
“I-I-I was pregnant?” I asked.
“You didn’t know?” The man continued.
I started to panic and had no idea what was going to happen. My heart throbbed so hard it felt like it’d beat right out of my chest. ‘THE BABY’. I felt my eyelids flutter again and they closed for the final time in this life.
