It's been 8 days since I've moved out with Matues. I think we were actually beginning to breathe a little bit. It was a rough start at first but I thought we were actually relaxing for once.

"This is 911, I'm Annie your operator. Am I speaking with octavia?" The woman spoke.

"Yes, is everything okay?" I was hesitant.

"I'm very sorry to say your mother was killed in a homicide. We would like you to come to the station for questioning." She sighed.

My heart sank to my stomach.

"I don't know what to say." I teared.

"I know it's hard but come down to the station octavia please." She insisted.

I hung up.

It was like the world was crashing down, like my lungs were touching my chest and I couldn't breathe.

I ran to the bathroom and stared at a razor and for a few seconds I thought about how well I was doing and how sober I was.

But now I wanted nothing more but to feel pain.

I scrapped the razor against my skin gracefully except this time I felt like it wasn't enough. For some reason I felt like it was my fault.

I aggressively scrapped my wrists to the point where my clothes were covered in bright red blood.

I ran out the house.

I ran and ran until my legs couldn't run anymore.

This wasn't real, nor did I think this was a dream. It was like I was stuck in a nightmare version of my reality. For some reason my sense of feelings went numb, I didn't know what I felt.

Of course she was my mother, but we fought and fought and I never even got to tell her I loved her. I spent so much time arguing with her that I forgot what it felt like to have a mother. I couldn't quite pin what I was feeling but all I knew was I couldn't breathe.

It was like I was crashing.

Or at least it felt like it.

I cried on the bench I sat next to me, I know no one was going to come and save me no matter how much I wanted some to tell me this was a joke. It wasn't long until Hardin came and got the news.
