The Lies She Tells

Billie

I was in the middle of a lesson when suddenly I got a call from an unknown number, confused I picked it up and it was a hospital number calling me...about my daughter. Lucille and Elliot got into a bad car accident and they wanted me to come down, I dropped everything I was doing and ran out of the classroom, got into my car, and drove off to the hospital.

Once I got there I immediately ran in searching for my daughter, luckily she was okay, a few cuts here and there and a sprained arm nothing too serious luckily.

"Mommy," Elliot ran into my arms and hugged me

"Oh thank fuck you're okay," I kissed her head then looked over at the nurse

"Where's Lucille?" I asked her

"Well I'm afraid that's why we called you down here," she said nervously

I walked into Lucille's hospital room and sat down, she was alive but they told me she wasn't going to be for long due to how badly her condition is there's nothing they can do.

"Hi," I said

She slowly opened her eyes and looked over at me, she blinked a couple of times before opening her mouth to say something.

"B-billie?"

"yeah"

"How's Elliot?"

"She's alive and she's going to be okay"

"I'm glad...I'm sorry for everything...I was horrible to you...I was a horrible person"

"You apologize now on your death bed?" I chuckled

"I still love you so much"

"Fuck you Lucille you never loved me, you didn't love anyone but yourself because you were a bitch"

"Then if you feel that way put me out of my misory," she looked over at me with a smile and a single teardrop fell from her eye

"I don't want your last day with me being mad on you, but I can't think back to the time where I was ever in love with you, our entire relationship was evolved around chaos, but it was addicting, so fucking addicting like a drug, and that's what I loved most"

I stood up and walked over to her bed

"But just like drugs you can quit them and miss 'em," I took a pillow from under her head

"Until you realize how sad you were without them even though you didn't need them cause it was slowly killing you, so you start working on being happy without them until eventually you don't miss them or feel like you need them to be happy cause in reality you were a sad sad person," I climbed on her bed and stood over her

"You were that drug, I was never truly happy with you until I got out"

I kissed her head

"Is there a god?" I asked

I placed the pillow on her face and held it there, a few seconds goes by and she finally starts to squirm, I added more pressure keeping the pillow in place, her heart rate started to increase but she kept moving, I started to get angry and adrenaline was running through me, I used all of my strength onto the pillow.

"Shhhh go into the light," I said

"Go into the light"

I repeated when I saw her body start to relax and her heart monitor went completely out into a straight line. I let out a soft laugh before getting off of her and putting the pillow back under her head, the nurses came in and I immediately got on my knees and started sobbing. The nurse turned off the heart monitor and then turned to me with an apolegetic look in her eyes.

"I'm sorry for your loss," she said before leaving the room

I rolled my eyes and stood up while wiping my fake tears, I took one last look at Lucille and smiled, I then walked out of the room.

Oh boy
