Unexpected Love (c.c) [ Slow Updates! ]

Chapter 9

Recap

As I got closer, I realized it was coming from Natalie's room. I tried to open the door but it was locked, I frantically knocked on the door and called out her name but she wouldn't budge. I paced around her door trying to think of ways to open the door when I remembered about the cabinet with keys to each room in it.

I raced downstairs and yanked open the cabinet and grabbed the key to her room. I ran back upstairs and unlocked the door and there she was sitting in the corner trying to wipe away the tears running down her cheeks. I sat down beside her and noticed her arm, it was sitting in a pool of her blood and it kept on bleeding, making the pool bigger. "Chris, nothing is okay." She sobbed.

Natalie's POV

After what seemed hours of endless crying I finally got myself together and stood up. I stood in front of my mirror staring at my reflection. My make up was ruined, I had streaks of mascara running down my cheeks, my hair was out of place from all the pulling I did with it, my face was ghostly pale and my eyes ached from all the crying. As my reflection stared back I suddenly got this huge weight on my chest making it hard to breathe.

The feeling of sadness slowly crept back into my thoughts and I found myself looking out of the corner of my eye at the place where I kept my blades. No, there's no way that's happening. I turned to get someplace else that wasn't here but the sudden urge of opening my skin and letting the sweet release escape pulled me towards it. I opened the cabinet and there it was, the little black box that kept my escape safely inside.

I opened the box and picked up a blade. I studied it as I held it, watching how it shined when the light hit it and ran my finger along it, feeling the sharpness against the fragile skin of my finger and let it bleed. I watched how the drops of blood trickled unto the floor giving the carpet color. I then started on my arm, one cut at a time as I watched the blood make its way out of my skin and felt the pleasure of letting everything go. I held on to that feeling and kept slicing my way into happiness, although it wasn't true happiness the feeling made it irresistible.

But I suddenly dropped the blade and brought my hand up to my mouth in shock seeing what I had done. It was like I was completely paralyzed into another world and everything was okay. "No, no, no." I ran my fingers through my hair and shook my head. I grabbed a towel and put it against my arm, wincing at the pain of my fresh wounds. I waited a minute for the towel to soak up all the blood and for the cuts to stop bleeding but as I took it away from my skin, the bleeding increased.

I threw the towel on the floor and searched in the cabinets for any bandages and found a box of them. I took one out and wrapped it around my arm but the blood quickly soaked through it. I groaned and wrapped another one on top of the first one but that one was also soaked through. I continued to wrap bandages around my arm taking them off one by one until I just threw everything away and sighed in frustration.

From all the blood I lost I started to feel lightheaded and exhausted so I slowly sat down on the floor and rested my head against the wall. I stared at the ceiling and realized I was crying. Every breath I took, I also inhaled in a sharp pain causing me to grow weaker. I then saw the door knob turning and someone pounding against it. I heard a faint voice of someone calling out my name and I realized it was Chris's. "Chris.." I weakly said but with all the noise he was making I was certain that he didn't hear me.

Then the pounding stopped and it got silent for a minute until the door swung open and he rushed over to me. He stared at me in shock as I said, "Chris nothing is okay." in between sobs. "Natalie, we need to get you to a hospital." He tried to pick me up but I pushed him away, "Stop, just let me die here." He scoffed. "Do you really think I would leave you here to die?" I knew he wouldn't so when he tried to pick me up again, I gave in and he carried me downstairs to his car. As he drove to the hospital, my vision was getting weaker, everything was a blur.

I closed my eyes and it helped clear up the pain a little but it also made me want to keep them closed forever and never open them again. We approached the hospital and I could already feel myself fading away as the seconds passed by.

He parked the car in front of the hospital and carried me in. As he urgently spoke to the nurse at the front desk, she picked up a phone and murmured a few words and as on cue nurses and doctors swarmed around us. They pulled me out of Chris's arms and laid me on a stretcher and rushed me away as Chris watched. They pushed the stretcher into a room full of different unusual machines and injected many needles into me. One of the nurses carefully approached me and smiled as she held my hand. "This will only make you unconscious for a while, don't worry darling everything will be fine." She then placed a mask over my nose making the room fade away.

Hi babes, yeah, yeah I know I haven't sticked with my updating schedule that I announced 2 weeks ago but as everyone could guess, guess what is holding me from updating? Hell. *clears throat* I mean, school. But here's a new chapter that most of you are mad at me for never posting it! And I feel like it's a pretty short chapter but I honestly don't know if it's actually really short but I posted! Haha yeah okay I'm actually kinda proud of myself for finally posting as you can tell, but I will be posting more repeatedly when I can. Oh! And one more thing, I am starting a new book called "I'll see you in my dreams" for those who stan Shawn Mendes, meaning me and others so I'll have a chapter posted for that book soon. So thank you so much for still reading my book, it actually means a lot.
