They Will Love You When No One Else Will

Chapter Five: How To Save A Life

I probably won’t upload again till maybe 2 weeks. My life got busier and I don’t think many like my writing. So I won’t continue. Please comment, fan, and vote. Then I will know that people like my writing and I am not writing for no reason.

There I lay on the floor. I couldn’t believe my parents. They were the cruelest people in the world. And yet I though they loved me. Wow did I put my trust in them are they were traitors. How much I hated them. I couldn’t think of them anymore, call them my parents. How dare they think I will ever contact them again? Uh I was crying my soul out with agony. I decided to go downstairs and drug myself. I had to reason to live in this world except by the love of my boyfriend.  I went into Mrs. Espalda’s medicine cabinet in the bathroom and quietly returned to my room. I wrote a letter telling my boyfriend about my situation. And then choked down 30 Tylenols and laid their dead in my soul and heart. Hopefully I would die and escape the suffering and die.

I came home completely sober. I didn’t take of sip of any drink, or hook up with anyone I was very proud of myself. I couldn’t wait to tell sher. She would be so happy I gave up my habits just show her how much I love her and wanted to be with her. I slipped the key into the key opening and entered the house. Boy it was dead silent. Weird huh?. My house was always really loud. Whether it my bickering siblings or my parents talking excessively. I was a bit scared is something wrong?  I ran to my room. There I saw my mom, dad, Sam, and Hannah staring at sher on the floor. With a medicine bottle in her hand and two letters right beside her. My heart skipped beat. What had she done? Did lost the love of my life? I just stood there trying to hold back tears. But I wouldn’t I burst into tears and asked,” What happened?”

My mom said, “ We were a bit worried me heard and saw sher get up and take a bunch of pills. At that time we were busy. So , me though we would check up on her in a few minutes. We came over and we saw her lying on the floor paralyzed.”

I went up to her and held her hand and kissed her forehead. I tried to calculate her pulse. I still felt her heart beating slightly. I couldn’t risk closing her. I dialed 911. The ambulance arrived shortly. They took her and brought her to the nearest hospital.

I pulled out the two letters that were by shers side when he was almost died. I asked myself, Should I read them? Or should I not? There I sat undecided until I thought maybe they were important and she wanted me to see them. I looked at one.

Dear Joshy,

I just want you to know I Love You. You are the only one that made me happy, listened to me, protected me, you where everything to me. I am sorry to leave you. We have been best friends for life but I always loved you more than that. I am so glad that we are dating now.  But, I have to do what’s best for me. And I can’t live like this. I wouldn’t face all this suffering. I was always very weak. I never was self-confident about myself. The only way I could escape all my pressure and aches was to leave this world. Even if it meant leaving you. I don’t feel like I can stay alive any longer. But I just wanted you to know I love you with all my heart. My heart belongs with you for eternity. I hope you understand and will learn to forgive me and see that what I did was for the best. .

Sorry,

Sher

I was so upset. I can’t believe she was done this to herself. I decided to read the other letter I found by her side. It was from her mother. Telling her that she was leaving without saying goodbye. I finally understood. Shers mother meant everything to her. And he left her to rot. That was probably why sher drugged herself. I hated her mom at this moment. She made her want to take away her life, her precious life.

There I was by her side worried like crazy. The doctors haven’t told me anything yet. I was so anxious. The nurse came up to me and asked me if there was anyone she should call to inform them about her. I told her to tell her dad Dr. Greene and mom Mrs. Greene. Even though sher hated them I thought she would appreciate if they same to her aid and actually wanted like good parents. Also maybe it could kick some common sense into her parent’s minds. They let there one and only child wander off. Who knows where she could have gone. She would have gotten kidnapped, raped, etc. And they wouldn’t give a dam.

The doctors told me to wait in the waiting room. They had to run a few tests. I eagerly went back and bought some food from the vending machine. I sat their reading a brochure about diabetes until they called me in.

“Joshua you may come in now. Because her parents are not here you will be responsible. I am afraid to tell you sherry has drugged herself of og Tylenol. Her breathing rate decreased and sher became unconscious. She will most likely wake up in a couple of Hours. At this moment we are supplying her with a bit of oxygen and giving her nutrients through an IV. Most likely she will survive. I am sure she will be glad he had such a protective, caring boyfriend” she said.

“Thank you for informing me I said.” I was so depressed. It was my entire fault that she was here in the hospital. If I never left none of this would have happened. I could have stopped her in her tracks, prevented this whole thing. She should have told me. I hated myself for this. I banded sher to hang out with my friend’s…when I could have saved the love of my life from pain.

I went back to my room and sat right next to her. I held her hand and kissed them. All of a sudden Mr. Greene, her dad showed up. I knew there was going to be a heated discussion.

“What happened to my little sweetie?” he said in an innocent voice. Uh I felt like crushing him into millions of pieces he was such a fraud trying to disguise himself as the best father in the world.

I replied saying, “Nothing you really care about” in a monotone.

“Don’t talk to me like that mister. Right after sherry wakes up I am taking her away to my place in Tennessee. We are moving there. I got married. So, I want you to leave. I don’t need you to ruin my master plan” Then he went off and started shaking Sherry violently to make her wake up.

I wouldn’t take this anymore. I ran over there and punched him into the wall.

“What was that for?” he yelled

“Why are you waking her up” I said in an angry concerned voice.

“Because I don’t feel like paying medical bills for another day, I may be rich but I am not spending money on my useless daughter” he said with an evil laugh.

This was enough. I screamed, “Your daughter is not useless and she will not go with you by whatever means”

“I am her legal guardian so I think I control her life. Sorry to break it to you. I am dropping her off in the middle of Tennessee and leaving. I don’t want her anymore. I am creating a smarter, greater family.” he charged.

Then all of a sudden sherry said, “ Dad I have had enough. I hope you go to Hell. Leave my room immediately. Security” she screamed. “Take my father away.”

They grabbed him by his arms and forced him to leave. I guess sherry woke up from all the obnoxious yelling and screaming.

I walked over to her. She said, “Thanks for defending me. Ugh I really wish I died. See I didn’t want to meet my dad ever again but now I have. He has betrayed me, my family. I would never forgive him for that. He called me useless. He was trying to get rid of me and start a new life. My mom left me. I live in hell; the only thing I look forward to is you.”
