Forbidden Love

Chapter 14

Lena POV
Me and my mother just stared at each other in complete silence too shocked to speak.

"Well, me and Angelica are going to go to the cafeteria." Margaret said and slowly got off the bed with Angelica.

"See ya pretty girl!" Aunt Gwen said to Margaret.

"Gwen, you never call me Vanessa... Is everything ok?" My mom said slowly and cautiously.

"That's your name silly goose!" Aunt Gwen started to laugh. But not her usual laugh it was her scared laugh.

"Did I hear Gwen's back?" I looked over and it was my father.

"Hey Will!" Aunt Gwen ran over to my father and kissed him.

"Gwen was just about to tell us something important Will." My mom said nervously which made my dad tense.

"Not here." That made my blood boil. They're probably going to say it's "grown up talk". I'm 16 which means I'm practically a grown up. She looked over at me and then back to my mom. My mom understood what she was saying and she became quiet.

"Soo Lena did you get with Henry yet?" I gave her the are you nuts? Look.

"Henry is with Margaret." I said quietly. She gave me sympathetic eyes and sat down on my bed.

"Your pretty than her anyway." She said and I started to cry a little.

"Aww honey you can do so much better." She said which didn't make me feel any better.

"HOW?! I HAVE NO HAIR IM UGLY NOW!" I yelled. Everyone looked at me with shocked which made me cry.

"Come on Gwen." My mom said and she got up and hugged my mom while walking out.

I'm in my own personal hell. I put on a happy face for everyone but the truth is I'm not happy. Not like I used to be. I don't want to be here anymore. I slowly got up and went to the bathroom and locked the door. There's a razor on the sink. I took it and sliced my wrists. I kept slicing them until my body went numb and everything went dark.

Margaret POV
"Here Ang." I said and placed a vanilla pudding on the table and she started to eat it. Maybe I can get used to this mother thing.

"Margaret." It sounded like my Aunt Vanessa. I looked up and she her face was all red and her mascara was dripping down her face.

"What's wrong Aunt Vanessa?" I said and stood up.

"Lena had an episode and I need you to go up to her room to calm her down. Gwen and I will stay here with Angelica." I nodded and slowly waddled to the elevator and up to Lena's room. Her bed was empty and the bathroom door was closed. I tried to open the door but it was locked.

"Lena." I said softly knocking on the door. No response. I knocked on it harder. No response.

"Lena Caroline Halstead open this damn door now!" I said and this time I started to yell. I took a bobby pin out of my hair and put it in the door and it unlocked, damn I'm good. I opened the door and I see Lena on the floor and blood is everywhere.

"LENA!" I screamed. I kneeled down to check for her pulse. No pulse. I ran as fast as I could out the door to get help.

"SOMEONE HELPPPP!" I yelled and two nurses came flying in the room. I ran to Lena's room and I heard the nurses call a code blue.

I ran as fast I could to the elevator and to the cafeteria where everyone was.

"LENA CUT HERSELF AND SHE HAS NO PULSE!" I yelled at them and everyone immediately got up and ran to the elevator. My Aunt and Uncle ran up the stairs.

I started to cry in my moms shirt. Once again there was a swarm of doctors in Lena's room, overwhelming me. My best friend, my sister could die. I just wish I got there quicker and maybe she wouldn't have done that.

Suddenly I heard a lot of footsteps coming towards me. It was the Ruzeks.

"Henry!" I said and jumped into his arms. I felt him smile on my head and he kissed me.

"What happened Margaret?" He said his voice so calm.

"Lena had an episode and she cut herself. If Vanessa didn't come and get me sooner Lena could've been dead by now." I said and cried a little on his chest.

"HENRY!" Angelica yelled excited. She ran into his arms. He smiled and hugged her. He is going to make an amazing father one day.

Lena POV
"Gwen, tell me what you needed to tell me." My mom said putting her hand on top of mine.

"Karl needs to be here too." Even though my eyes were closed I could tell she was rolling her eyes. Aunt Gwen, procrastinator.

"Lena needs to see someone Van." I felt my mothers grip tighten on my hand a little.

"I know Gwen, I know." I felt my mother kiss my head.

"Van, go home and get some sleep. I'll stay here with Lena." I could feel my mothers hesitation to leave. I wish I could open my eyes to tell her that I'm fine.

"Ok fine. But you better call every 10 minutes."
Aunt Gwen was probably giving her the "are you serious Vanessa?" look like she did since she was eight years old.

"Ok fine every hour!" I guess she agreed cause then I heard my mom walk out.

"It's just you and me Lena Caroline." I smiled. Aunt Gwen loves calling me Lena Caroline because she picked it out and she likes to brag about it.

Vanessa POV
I drove home in silence. Will stayed with the kids and Gwen at the hospital. I keep thinking about what Gwen wanted to talk about. I swear if there is something wrong with my sister that will just about do it for me. My phone starts ringing, I look down then everything went black.
