His Shortcake

Chaoter Twenty Seven ~Anti-Depressant~

~Anti-Depressants~

All weekend I stayed locked in my room. However that didn't stop Maddox from trying to talk to me. He really didn't get the picture. The bracelet around my wrist was a reminder of my pain, I just couldn't bare to take it off.

I eventually come out to take a shower. Since I wasn't gonna go to school filthy. When I got out, my reflection seemed a little better.

My eyes were dull and I had bags under them. When I go back in my room I glance over to the box of stuff that Maddox had left, including the hoodie that I claimed from him. I walk over to my closet and grab my old hoodie.

I hadn't worn it in so long. It was familiar to me, caused me some peace. My friends had tried to talk to me but I ignored them too. I decide to walk to school. I left early enough to make it on time by taking a different route since I knew he would probably be looking for me.

When I arrive I walk to my locker. My friends are there clearly worried. "Hey Tate." Grace greets. But I just open my locker grab my books and leave.

Everything was going smoothly till I saw him with her. He looked as bad as I felt, but I felt nothing. I watch as she hugs him and as if sensing me he scans the hall ways and finds me.

His eyes widen and he tries to get to me, but I was small and I was able to slip through the crowd. I decided to give up on school and just go home. No one was there when I got home.

However there was a letter from my egg donor like before. I decide to open it since I didn't read the first one. She was telling me that she moved to California and if I wanted I could come live with her.

I snort and crumple it up and toss it in the trash. Like I'd ever want to go live with that crazy bitch. I go to the bathroom and open the medicine cabinet.

I grab an Advil for my headache. But I can't help but notice dad had started putting his own medicine back in there. I take it and stare at my reflection.

I then open it back up and take his prescription out and set it on the sink. Did I really want to do this? Did I want to put dad and Reed through this? No. I didn't, I quickly put them away and go to my room.

I had put a blanket on my window so my room was dark.

About a week later, I hadn't gone to school. Dad and Reed were definitely worried about me. Everyday I struggled with not taking the pills. So I turned to the next best thing beer.

I could only take one so it wasn't noticeable. Everyday my friends would send texts saying they were worried about me. They tried calling and even stopping by, but I didn't want to see any one.

"Whatever the fuck you did to our friend, you better fix it." Laura says angrily.

"I didn't do anything." I glare.

"So who is the chick you have been hanging around with then?" Maddie asks.

"That's my younger sister. She has been living with our grandparents, but they got worse so she had to come back." I explain. Now if only Tate would let me explain.
