70 Days Of Summer

Day 45

I wake up, and I can't feel anything. My legs, arms, and face are all numb. I feel like I have no feeling? I can't brush my teeth or change my clothes so I decide to run a bath. I slip into the bathtub and close my eyes, and relax. My muscles loosen, my body sinks into the scalding hot water which is calming for me. I hear rustling and my bathroom door bang, and I jump out of the bathtub. I get Scared for a second but then I think, it must be Catarina trying to scare me. I get changed into my green track pants and yellow t-shirt, and call out,
" Catalina! Catalina. Come here."
There's no reply, and I slowly walk down the stairs. Nobody is downstairs, but there is a glass of water on the kitchen counter, and a note next to it. I run down And read the note,
Haha. I got you. Meet me at the cafe at the square.
Definitely Catalinas handwriting. I take a sip of the water and I think it's flavored because it tastes really good. I finish it off, grab my cellphone, and head out the doors. Once I reach the square, my head starts to hurt, and I'm feeling dizzy. My eyesight is blurring and I'm starting to feel really sick. Really really sick. Maybe it's because Catalina and buren are kissing on the pole across the street. How could she do this to me, I think, and I'm not sure whether I'm talking about her kissing buren or her drugging me or both. Tears are falling down and off my face and I can't see what's in front of me; everything is foggy. Now, my sense of smell is turning off too because I can't smell the hot dog stands welcoming smell, or the dogs pee on the street, but I feel my nose holes closing up as my head migraine opens up wider. I squint my eyes, and I can make out a shiny purple light coming from 10 feet in front of me, and a small gold ring attached to it. Paige's lucky ring. I start running towards it; eyes blurred, nose not functioning, and my ears can only hear the panicked and worried screams of buren and Catalina,
" clara! Come back!" " clara! I'm so sorry!" "Clara, watch out!" " Clara, I love you!"
My hand touches the ring, and then I'm knocked Onto the floor. My hands are sprawled out, legs on top of each other, and as my head bangs the ground, everything that happened this summer rushes into my head; I'm falling. And everything that happened this summer rushes into my head; the flash party, waiting for Cassie at the police office, aunt Rosie and Darrell, Cassie in therapy, Catalinas on and off relationship with her brother, my on and off relationship with buren, Me dating a lord, Vanessa murdered by her own pedofile husband, and paige committing suicide. But, what I will never forget from this unbelievably dramatic, unimaginable, barbaric summer, is hurens last words to me,
" Clara, I love you."
