We Will Not Let You Go

Just wanted to add that there's more cursing than usual in this chapter.
And trigger warning: attempted suicide.

Angie

"Luna! Luna!" I screamed, shaking her motionless body on the floor.

"What happened?" Annabelle ran over.

"She looked like something was wrong, but I thought she just had another headache." Lilly said, panting.

"Another?" I got nervous.

What was really going on Luna?

Lilly sighed. "She usually gets headaches when she nervous or..."

I looked back at her.

"Or...what?"

She gulped.

"Or if the voice in her head is talking to her."

I widened my eyes.

Sahara came back from the bathroom.

"Woah, what happened?" She sat down next to us.

"She blacked out." Annabelle concluded.

"Oh my gosh."

I could tell Sahara was trying to sound interested, even though I knew she wasn't.

I know she hates Luna, but can't she at least care about her?

"I'll call the hospital in a few minutes if she doesn't wake up." Annabelle got up and stood by the house phone.

---a few hours later.

Here's what is going on.

Lilly is walking back and forth, panting.

Annabelle has broke out into a sweat.

Sahara was trying CPR.

I was trying to hold back tears.

Oh, and Luna won't wake up.

"Just wait a little while." Sahara said. "She's not dead. She'll wake up." She said.

"Just fucking call, Annabelle!" I yelled.

She grabbed the house phone, aggressively.

"Angie! She's not dead! I can handle this! I got an A in CPR class."

I rolled my eyes.

"This isn't a time to state your fucking achievements!" I screamed.

She looked at me angrily.

Lilly started crying.

"Aw. Come here, Lil." I reached my arms out and she fell in my arms, sobbing.

That's when I started to cry.

"Why are you crying? Goddammit Angie, she's not dead!"

"I know! But she passed out and...I just got scared." My voice cracked.

Lilly dug her head into my shoulder.

"Hey, Lilly. It's okay, it's okay." I rubbed her head.

Annabelle walked over to us.

"Jeez, that lady on the phone was irritating. Or irritated. I don't know." She rubbed Lilly's back. "How you doin' Lilly?"

She sniffled.

"I'm fine. Thanks." She got up and wiped her eyes.

"Guys! I think she's starting to wake up." Sahara backed up as Luna sat up.

"Luna! Oh my gosh, are you okay?" Annabelle asked.

She didn't respond.

She just got up and went behind the counter.

It's almost as if she's being...controlled or something.

Luna then opened the drawer and looked for something.

Once she finally found whatever it was, she smirked.

Then she held it up.

It was a knife.

"No!" Lilly ran over as the knife went towards Luna's wrist.

She immediately smacked the knife out of her hand.

I jumped up from the ground and ran over.

Annabelle and Sahara quickly followed behind me.

"Snap out of it!" Lilly screamed as she shook Luna back and forth, slapping her form time to time.

Then, finally, Luna slapped Lilly back.

"Okay, she's back." She rubbed her cheek.

"Wh-what happened?" Luna massaged her temples.

"Loooong story." I said, putting my hand on her shoulder, which obviously triggered Sahara, because she cleared her throat.

"Well, since you're okay, I'll be heading out. Bye, guys." She waved.

We all said 'bye' simultaneously.

"So, what happened?" Luna asked again.

And then I explained everything that happened as Annabelle cleaned up the dinner and Lilly played on her phone.
