Chapter 40
Pick a star on the dark horizon and follow the light
You'll come back when it's over
No need to say goodbye
Wrapped in my sheets, breathing in the lingering smell of Teegan clinging to my sheets, I squeeze my eyes shut.
I can barely make out the hushed whispering through my locked door.
There was no light in my room with the curtains drawn, shrouding me from reality. I didn’t even know if it was morning or night.
Wincing in pain, I try and sleep but sleep is a nasty little thing.
Sleep was deceiving.
One moment I would be falling asleep into an abyss and the next, I would be drenched in sweat, screaming out for the only word that’s been on my lips these days.
When I hear my door open, I stiffen, trying to even out my breathing. It seemed to work because I hear a sigh as she closes my door again, clicking the large lock outside my door.
I was locked in my own room.
I was going crazy with these slowly, passing days.
Stuck in this little asylum, they’ve left me with the worst thing imaginable-me.
Every image, every thought, every object in my room reminded me of him and everything we had.
But being stuck in this blank room for what seems like days has finally taken its toll on me. The only image that seemed real to me right now was that last scene of me screaming out for Teegan as I reached for him.
I stare at my bloodied nails and hands wrapped in gauze.
When my parent knocked me out to then bring me back to the house, I was hysterical.
I was beside myself, going crazy and screaming for Teegan until they threw me into my room, locking me in and taking everything- my phone and computer included- from me.
These past days were like hazy dreams to me. I’ve been stuck in this room for so long with only my thoughts that I can’t even remember if I really had done the things they said I did when I first got home.
They say I’m crazy.
I spent hours clawing at that door, begging it to give and open.
“It’s your fault your stuck in this room,” my mother had reprimanded me.
The day that I woke up, a headache settling deep in my mind, I had woken up to see my mother standing over me.
the first few days under house arrest were the days that my adamant mother insisted in me forgetting Teegan.
