This new place

Just a prank

Cordies PoV

I scream into my hand , tears were building up in the corner of my eyes a memory coming back ,one I have been trying to suppress for five years .

Flashback
I was eight years old . The sky was covered in a thick cloud of darkness and the twinkling stars were shining brightly . It was a full moon , the time when vampires , ghosts and other Ghouls come out . Unlike other eight year old girls , I wasn't scared , I liked scary creatures that snatch your foot from under your bed or hide in your wardrobes until your about to fall asleep and eat you up . My mother went out with my older sister (12) Wayde and to my nans house to wrap presents as it is the 19th of December , 6 days before Christmas . My dad was in charge . In the house was my cousin Connor (14) older brother Bailey (10) me (8) younger brother Quinn (6-7) , pj ( 4) beaver (2) and the new born zain . I was sitting on my grey and black couch watching the big time rush Christmas special . In the corner of my eye I spot something falling out side X the window . Snow . My eyes shot open and I run up to my parents room even though daddy said he wanted a nap . There was a weird smell emitting from the room ,I ignore it and barge into the room . I regret my decision as soon as I see my fathers twisted face . It's purple and his eyes look to big for his eye sockets . There is a rope around his neck which is fastened to the ceiling fan "daddy ? Daddy are you okay , I know your joking " I say thinking at any moment her is going to jump out and say that it's all a prank . Bailey walked in . " are you okay cordie ?" He questions "yes , but dad is playing a joke on us and is pretending to be dead . The next few minutes consist of me and bailey shaking the hanging body and saying 'wake up ,we know it's a joke ' . Our pleas soon get desperate and anxious . " get Connor !" Bailey yelled . I run down the steps , vision blurring . I call Connor and he casually walks to me . "Dad isn't waking up !" His mouth opens in shock and terror .
*************************************
The next thing i know , I'm at my mums friends house , in her kitchen , she lived literally down our road . There is the sound of ambulances ,and the flashing blue and red lights fill the sky .
*************************************
My mother walks in and stares at both me and Bailey in the eye . She shakes her head . Salty tears running down her pink face . In that one moment , I knew , our father was dead .
While the other children went to nans house , me and Bailey stayed at my mums friend house (tasha ) as we were going to get questioned by the police in the morning .
*************************************
I rolled over in bed , not being able to sleep .
" Bailey ?" I questioned . He grunted in response to show he was listing . "Don't you think this is just a dream , and tomorrow dad will put on fairytale of New York and dance in the kitchen " I say . He doesn't respond but I hear a whimper from beside me .
End of flashback

I run up to the bed and lift the almost lifeless body off the rope . She gasped for air and rubbed her throat ,wheezing at the same time .After a while she finally caught her breath .

"What the fuck do you think you were doing !?!" I yell failing my arms in different directions .

"I had nothing to loose , no one likes me anymore , I have no family and I'm no use to anyone "

"That's no excuse!! Don't you ever do that again ,you hear me ? Promise you won't try a stunt like this ever again !!"

" I will promise if you forgive me "
"I will do anything to prevent you from doing this !" 

I tackle her into a large hug , causing both of to flop onto the bed . We cry into each other's shoulders and try to comfort one another . I have never cried this much in ages .

" I'm sorry Molly , I shouldn't have gone ballistic on your ass , it's my fault you did this , I really am sorry "

"It's fine , I deserved it . I shouldn't have gone behind your back , it's my fault "

"...your right it is your fault " I joked . Molly rolled her eyes at me before smiling . The smile faltered and suddenly dropped .
"What's wrong ?"
" I'm not sure if I should say this or not , but ...jade has been cutting again "

I look at the wall and past Molly .
" I know " I say
" you know ? Then why didn't you help her ?"
"I tried and she didn't listen , anyway , im not her mother I shouldn't have the responsibility of looking after her , she is fifteen for gods sake !"

"But she is our friend , we should think about her and what's best for her , she needs help !"

"Maybe you should have thought about us before you tried to kill yourself you Hypocritical bitch !"

After that there was an awkward silence . We just sat there looking at the wall and space .
"I should go apologise to jade " with that I walked out the room , slamming the door shut as I stormed out .

All the way to jades room I was scratching my bare arms (a habit I do when stressed or angry) , so much so that they started bleeding . "Shit "
I wipe the blood off my arm with my hand and wiped them on my jeans .

I ponder for a moment , wondering if I should talk to her just yet . I walk in .
