Broken Inside

Chapter 4

The morning went great. We ate and talked.

"So, are you ready to go get some clothes and makeup?" She asked.

"Yeah. By the way I know my skin tone and I use a certain brand, but if it's too expensive we can find something else." I told her.

"Oh I'm sure we can get it." she replied.

We went to this local market. It had everything from food to clothes. We picked up a few shirts, and 2 pairs of jeans. I got some foundation, some loose powder, concealer, a few different colored lipsticks, liquid eyeliner, eye shadow, mascara and an eyelash curler. I also got some eyebrow stuff.

"Well, since you are probably going to be staying for awhile, do you want to get some room decorations?" she asked.

"Are you sure?" I asked.

"Oh my goodness! Yes honey! I am positively sure!" she told me.

"Okay then! Yes!" I said with excitement.

We went to room decor section. I loved gold accents. I got some gold pillows, a gold lamp, some cute blue lights, a gold pencil holder and some candles.

"Are you sure you want to pay for this for me?" I asked.

"Yes! Of course sweetie! Oh! I almost forgot! You need school supplies!" she said.

I got a back pack, 3 notebooks, 5 folders, pencils, and pens.

"Alright, ready to check out? Do you need more?" she asked.

"I'm ready and no I don't!" I told her.

We checked out and went home. For about an hour she helped me organize and decorate my room. Then for about another hour we baked some cookies and brownies. After that we drank hot chocolate until Max came home.

"Hey!" he said as he walked through the door.

"How was school?" I asked.

"Ehh. Okay I guess." he replied as he went to his room.

"Is he usually like this after school?" I asked Ivy.

"No, this is weird. He usually sits and talks with me. Do you want to talk to him?" she asked.

I walked to his room. The door was closed. I knocked on the door.

"Hello?" I ask.

There was no reply. I knocked harder. There was still no reply. I tried to open the door but it was locked.

"Max. Please answer. Open the door." I demanded.

There was still no reply. What if he was bullied? What if he was cutting? I banged on the door, worried.

"ANSWER! PLEASE!" I screamed as Ivy was coming towards me.

"Honey! Whats wrong?" She asked.

"He-he's not answering or opening up." I said with tears in my eyes.

I couldn't hold it back. I was just so worried. I just didn't want him to go through what I went through. I couldn't bare the thought. I just couldn't. I kept crying. I could tell Ivy was getting worried.

Ivy was banging on the door. It broke open.

We searched the room. I found him in the bathroom with cuts on his arm. He was still conscious, but he had collapsed.

"Call 911. Now." I told her.

The ambulance came and picked him up. Ivy and I followed in her car.
