I quickly try to shut the door by my dad stops me, I then step back feeling a horrible feeling creep up my spine. They don't look happy. At all. My chin starts to tremble and I don't know what to do or say.
"So you thought you could just leave like that huh?" My dad says. My mouth feels dry and I look at my mom who looks sad. "Did you really think that you could run away forever?" His voice starts to get louder and he steps closer. "Answer me!" This time I flinch. "No-no." I say in a shaky voice. "How could you just leave like that?! How!? Look what you've done to your mother! Look!" He grabs my arm harshly and I try to pull away.
Why isn't Nick away? But then it hits me he takes sleeping pills. He won't wake up easy and I'm afraid. "You completely destroyed her!" My mom starts to cry and I honestly don't know my dad anymore. He used to be so caring and sweet but ever since my
Suicide attempt he treats me bad. He blames my mothers sadness on me- and I know it's my fault but he doesn't have to rub it in my face all the time."Let me go." I finally choke out. "No, no, and you're coming with us. You need help Sydney, you are out of your mind! You tried to kill yourself at times and then we put you in a hospital to try to help you and you run away!? What kind of person does that?" He tries to pull me and I resist but it's useless. I'm too weak.
"No, you weren't trying to help me. You two were just trying to get rid of me!" My dad stops pulling me and my mom shakes her head wiping her tears. "How can you say that!" My mom says. "You're so unappreciative!" My dad screams.
"No, I am not. If you two really loved me you wouldn't have put my in that hospital you wouldn't have taken me away from here!" My dad lets go, "You make me so mad. You're such a-" He runs his fingers through his hair furiously. "A what dad? A disappointment? A failure? Oh that's right! I only ruin your life and my mothers, I only crave attention by cutting and I am so selfish cause I don't think of you. Isn't that right dad? That's what you said that time you went to see me at the hospital. I mean-"
"Stop it!" He says, his face is red and I know I should stop but I can't. "Stop what saying the truth?" Before I know it he slaps me hard across the face. I see stars as I touch my throbbing cheek. He grabs u arm again and he's pulling me harder. "Nick!" I finally have the air to scream. "Nick! Please wake up!" I'm grabs the foot trying to stop my dad from pulling me.
Nick opens his room door quickly, he looks at me and then at my parents. "Who the hell is that?" My dad says staring coldly at Nick. I pull away from him and try to run to Nick but he grabs my shirt pulling me back. "Oh now I understand you left us for this guy. That's it we are leaving."
Before he pulls me again Nick runs to him and pushes him away. "Who the hell do you think you are?" My dad screams. "I am her friend and I don't like the way you are pulling her and talking to her." My dad laughs, "A friend? Oh please, you are just taking advantage of her because she's not right in the head," he points at Nick angrily. "You are just filling her head up with lies, all you want to do is disgrace her. Don't be stupid Sydney!" He says. Nicks clenches his fist and I know he's about to explode.
"Dad, stop just go!" I say because even though he's hurt me so much I care about him and I don't want him to get hurt. "Not until you leave with me." I stand behind Nick and he tries to get closer but Nick doesn't move and then my dad pushes him. Big mistake.
I try to hold Nick back but he's too quick he's about to punch him. "Nick! No he's my dad." Nick gets off my dad and I grab his arm just in case. "You know what, I don't need this. Your mom and I don't need this. Stay with this- whoever this is. But you know what one day you will regret it, one day you'll go back and beg us for forgiveness. I just hope that day doesn't come too late." my mom looks at me, "Honey please come with us-"
"Laura stop begging her, she won't
Understand lets go." He grabs my mom and she sobs. Nick closes the door and I Stand there staring at the wall. Nick hugs me and my knees falls to the floor, I collapse on his arms as we sit on the floor. "Oh Sydney, it's okay." He says laying his head on my head."I can't take this anymore. Why is the world against me, Nick? Why?" I'm crying all over his chest and even though I want to stop making horrible sob noises I can't. "Sydney everything will be okay I promise."
"No,no, I just want to-" I can't even finish my sentence because my sobbing won't let me. "Shhh, shhhh it's okay. It's okay."
"It's not! It won't be okay!" I scream, "Sydney it will, just please don't cry." "I just want to die." I sob, his heartbeat Increases and I feel him tense. "Sydney-" he chokes out, I hear his voice crack. He kisses my forehead and I swear on everything I just want to die at this point.
