Just Breathe (Book 1)

Chapter 2

I've always wondered what life would be like if I was normal like my sister.
The boyfriend, the phone, the mall. I blink twice. I hear a knock at the door. Finally Jacob is here. Tonight we were going to watch American Horror Story eat dinner and study for the biology exam, but really studying didn't matter. My life was already falling apart. Now David... Why did he tell me that he saw me why would that matter? I opened the door, but didn't bother to look up.

"Hey Jacob come in." I steped wide and held the door open.

"Names David."

I look up in shock. Why in the name of love would David be here?

"uh.. Ummm. Hi? Actually can't talk. Got to go bye."

I slammed the door in his face wondering if I should have let him come in or if what I said was good enough. I took a 180 degree turn and walked halfway to the living room before I heard the door bell.

"hello?!" I yell through the door hoping it wasn't David again.

"Crimson open up!"

"Who is it?"

"It's Jacob!"

I opened the door not even bothering to formally invite Jacob in. I walked to the living room as Jacob shut the door behind me. I took a deep breath and threw off my jacket.

"What was that? Crimson?!"

"Yeah what? You okay?"

I looked for anything that might have hurt Jacob. I wouldn't be able to bare if he was hurt.

"Are those new?"

Jacob pointed to my arms and all I did was turn away. I felt a strong tug as Jacob yanked my arms towards him.

"These are new!"

I pulled my arms back and put my jacket back on. And in front of Jacob I layed down and held my breath... 1,2,3,4,5,6...
Jacob finally caught on to what I was doing.

"CRIMSON! NO BREATHE!"

30,31,32...
His yells became almost inaudable.

"Come on not today! Not ever! Breathe... No. Shit! Shit! SHIT!! Agh!!"

60,61,62... All I could think about was not living. Im sure nobody would care. Death that's what I want.70,71,72...

"CRIMSON! NO THIS HURTS!"

"JACOB! Are you okay! ... What hurts!? ... JACOB!"

I couldn't bare to see Jacob hurt.
