Hyperventilate

Chapter 3

"It will only make you bleed more." 

I looked at the mess, I gasped. It was mom, her lifeless figure on the floor, deep wounds in her wrists. I let a single tear slip down my cheek, "Mom! Wake up mom! You're fine! YOU'RE NOT DEAD!" I screamed, my fists clenched, I'm shaking with anger. Why did she do this?! I reached for the little slip of paper in her blood smothered hand. 

"I'm sorry, Perc. I knew you'd be the one to find me, since you'd be the first home, your dad is at the hospital, with Lil. I'm sorry to have to break this to you, but Lil isn't doing very well. The doctors have discovered three severe tumors in her back, so now she has three giant lumps in her back. I'm sorry to have to leave you three like this, you've probably taken it to heart, I've only done this so I could welcome my little Lil when she comes to heaven too, I love you, I love you all. Please take this note to dad, please Perc, please." 

I read the note, over and over again until my eyes blurred and I started to cry. I clenched the note in my fists. I went down-stairs, dizzy with emotion. I went into the bathroom and reached for a razor, "Always go across the street, never down the road." I muttered, making three slits on each wrist. I cried, I hadn't done this for years, since my life has improved a little, but not now, it's gone back down.

I went into the kitchen and I reached for the phone and shakily dialed dad's number. He answered, "Hello? Perc, is that you?" He said comically. "D-D-Dad... Can you come home now...?" I said shakily, my voice cracking. "Perc! What's happening!?" Dad said, but I hung up on him. It was raining outside, so I opened the door and sat on the step and wept. My crying wasn't noticeable, as the rain was already running down my cheeks anyway.

 I saw a familiar face, walk past my house. I looked at them with red eyes and a red face, they looked back at me. They rushed towards me, plait flying in the wind. "Jane.." I mumbled. "Percy! What are you doing in the rain?!" She said, sitting next to me. "Go home, Jane. I don't want you catching a cold..." I muttered, looking away from her. She grabbed me by the arm, I winced. "Come inside, Percy!" She said, literally dragging me inside. I went into the kitchen and sat at the table, the familiar pain of my slits rushing through me. I bit my lip to avert myself from the sting. "Percy..." Jane muttered, my dad burst through the door. I sighed, "Perc! Why'd you call?" He exclaimed, pushing his way past Jane. Jane looked at him, shocked at his carelessness.

Hi guys, quick A.N.

I made this one P short because it's got a lot of drama packed into it anyway, I didn't want to throw too much at you.
