Somebody Save Me

Chapter Two

Suddenly my lap was soaked with the tears that had ran down my face and off my chin. I was devastated.

"Is he okay?!" I squealed and choked on my tears. Right at that moment, my mom came bursting though the door. Her face was red as if she'd been crying and she immediately ran over to me. The last things I remember that night was my mom grabbing me and holding me in her arms and we just cried and cried and cried.

"Rose. Rose. Rose honey, wake up!" I sprinted up out of my bed so fast that it gave me an instant headache. Jean was sitting on my bed next to me.

"What are you doing here?" I asked rubbing my forehead.

"Just came to see how you were holding up." To see how I was holding up? What did she-- Oh no.

"It wasn't a dream, was it?" I started to weep again. She slowly shook her head. I began to sob uncontrollably again. She pulled me into a big hug and tried her best to comfort me. I couldn't believe this was happening. The most important person in my life is dead. How was I going to handle this? I couldn't. I continued to cry.

"Hey, hey, hey." Jean got my attention. She held my shoulders and looked me in the eye. "We'll get through this." I tried to talk back but I couldn't. All I wanted to do was cry. I had eventually cried myself back to sleep and woke back up at 4:00.

"Damn it's late. I look like crap. I need to get a shower." I very slowly dragged myself out of my bed and over to my closet to find some clothes to wear. Baggy sweat pants, tank top, hoodie, and slippers. Sounds fine to me. The only thing stuck on my mind at the moment was my dad. I wasn't sure how to handle this yet.

I continued to drag myself down my hallway, down the steps, and down the hallway again. I noticed everyone was in the living room. Even a police officer was sitting in my living room, talking to my mom who still looked like she was crying, my sisters looked the same as well. They all stopped talking and stared at me as I stared at them. Silence. I turned my head around and started back down the hallway again. Finally, I reached the bathroom. I've never felt so drained before. I couldn't wait to get this shower already.

I had cried a little bit in the shower, but eventually I realized, nothing was going to change. When I reached my room I found Krystopher in there staring out my window.

"Hey." my voice cracked. I must've scared him.

"Hey sweetheart." I didn't say anything. I simply threw my clothes in the hamper and sat back down on my bed. "Listen, I know this is going to be really hard for you." my eyes watered. "But I will always, always be here for you Rose. Don't ever forget that." I grinned a little. I looked up at him. His beautiful bright blue eyes staring at me. He flipped his long back hair and put his hands in his pocket. I had always had feelings for Krystopher, but I knew he would never go for someone like me, so I never tried anything.

He eventually sat down next to me and wrapped his arms around me. I blushed a little but he didn't notice, thank God. Just then my phone went off breaking the silence. It was Jean. She had texted me.

"I know you're probably drained and still upset, but have Krys bring you over. I have something that may cheer you up. Love you. xoxo"

Just something to make my day better, I thought sarcastically. Seconds later, I was on my way to Jeans house.

YES, I KNOW, IT'S VERY BORING SO FAR. KEEP READING, IT'LL GET BETTER. THANKS. XOXO.
