Love, Death & Lies

Chapter 8

We got back to the house and went inside where I looked around and my sight went blurry and the next thing you knew I was stripped from my sight and fell to the ground with a loud thud. I heard the guys talk to each other in quick voices wondering why I fainted before my hearing disappeared as well. My mind was swirling as images of my dead mother and father hand in hand beckoning me to come with them into the afterlife, I wanted so much to be with them and not without my family that I enjoyed being around. Then there was a snow white wolf walking up and sitting beside them, its eyes an emerald green.

I woke up in shock half from what I had just seen but the other from the amount of water that had been dumped on me trying to get me awake. Wait a minute why am I this wet?? I looked around and noticed I was in a bathtub filled with freezing cold icy water, I shivered as I got out of the bathtub and took off my jacket looking around to find my bag, unopened hanging on the door handle. I walked over to my bag pulling it off the handle shutting and locking the door slowly undressing from my wet clothes, I picked up a nearby towel to dry my body with and once I was done I unzipped my bag pulling out my spare clothes and sliding them on, I also noticed a plastic bag in the corner so I went over to it and opened it to find a hoodie with a panda on it. I smiled and put it on placing all my wet belongings in the bag tying it off, I then searched in my bag for my spare socks and I put them on to warm my cold feet.

I opened the door and walked out putting my bag on my back holding the plastic bag; I shivered slightly then pulled a hairbrush from my bag and brushing through my hair. I put it away then walked down the stairs slowly as I was still a bit woozy from waking up.  I’m confused as to why they would leave me in a bathtub full of freezing cold icy water, I could have easily gotten hyperthermia and died before they even realised. I dropped my plastic bag on the floor after I reached the bottom of the stairs; I slid down so I was sitting on them staring straight ahead at the front door just waiting.

About after an hour of sitting there the front door opened revealing Tristan, Carlos and Nathan. Nathan rushed forward to hug me.

“Thank gosh you’re ok” he said with no reaction from me.

“You do realise that leaving me in a bathtub of freezing water could have given me hyperthermia or I could have slid down and drowned” I said with no emotion.

“Sorry about that” he said as he awkwardly pulled away. I shrugged and hugged my knees staring ahead I slowly stood up as if in a trance and I walked forward through the open door but I was stopped by Nathan wrapping his arms around me stopping me from taking another step, I wanted him to let go, who am I kidding?? I NEED him to let go, I have to walk to free my mind but I doubt he will let me move forward. Stupid boy, can’t he see I want to go. I sighed and slid out of his arms facing them.

“Are you ok??” asked Nathan

“I am fine I just need to think” I replied fake smiling he nodded, slightly confused. In an instant I had bolted out the door and slammed it behind me.
