All In My Head

Chapter 13

A girl with blonde hair was running in the rain, her red rain boots shined in the moon light, she looked scared. Her hood covered her face, she was hiding from something. She ran into the hospital and ran up the stairs. She never lifted her head, never looked at anyone in the eyes. She walked into a room where another teenage girl laid in bed. The girl was hooked up to many machines, not moving, not responding, looking ghost like. The other girl sat down next to her, holding her hand. "I wish you we're here, I wish you never left. Please wake up" she whispered into her ear. Tears glistening in her eyes as she watched the girl lay there in silence. "I can't live like this anymore, you may never wake up, and I don't want to be around when you die" she said "I can't hold on much longer, I can't wait anymore" she said. She kissed the girls forehead and sat there in silence. She heard the door handle jiggle, someone was coming, she kissed the girl goodbye and opened the window. She balanced on the edge and closed the window before the other person came in. She crouched down and watched as a young girl entered the room and sat where she was previously sitting. Tears spilled over and she made her way down the side of the building, she landed safely on the ground and bolted. "I can't" she said to herself.

I woke up on the ground, next to the stream. It was dark out. I sat up and cleaned myself up. I was sweating and cold. My hair and outfit was soaked. What just happened? I thought about the dream I just had, what was that about? I shook off the thought and walked home. everyone was asleep so I decided to sleep in my room for the night. I curled up in a ball and fell asleep, still confused about what had happened. 

I woke up the next morning to an empty house. I decided to go over to Josh's house to see what was happening. I arrive at his house and go down to the basement where Bella was staying. I walked into her room and found Bella sleeping. I sat down next to her and looked around the room. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw something red in her closet, something about that threw me off. I walked over to the closet and opened it, inside where a pair of red rain boots. I gasped. A girl with blonde hair was running in the rain, her red rain boots shined in the moon light, she looked scared. Something clicked, was that Bella in my dream? But why was she at the hospital. Nothing was making sense. My heart was racing. Something was up, and I didn't understand what was happening. I closed the closet door and went upstairs. I saw Josh sitting at the kitchen table, eating breakfast. He was scrolling though his phone. I wasn't interested in what he was doing, I wanted to know what was going on. I walked into the living room to find Mr and Mrs White watching the news. Suddenly, a picture of Bella popped on the screen. My heart stopped. That can't happen. Then, a picture of me was shown. They explained what happened the night of prob, I guess the word had gotten out. "Josh?" called Mrs. White, a confused look on her face. "Yes?" he answered. "Can you come in here a sec?" she asked. "Sure". He walked into the living room and his face went pale when he saw what was on the tv. "What is this?" she asked pointing to the screen. He didn't answer. "Who is actually staying here, Joshua" she said. "Umm..." he started. "Bella is staying with us" he said after a long pause. "Joshua White! Are you telling me we were letting a murderer stay here?" she said, raising her voice. Bella came upstairs to see what was happening. She saw her face on tv and she went pale. She knew she was done. "I am very disappointed in you" said Mr. White. "Josh, I don't want anything to do with her, you get her out of our god damn house this second" yelled his mother. I looked over at Bella, tears in her eyes. "Mom, she's not a murderer!" cried Josh. "I don't care, she's wanted and she hurt somebody, I want her out of here and away from our family" she said harshly. Josh stood there stunned. "I thought you would understand" he said. "How could you Josh" said his mother. "She is the closest thing I have to Hazel at the moment" he said. "I don't care, I want her out of here" she said. "Mom!" he cried. "This is not up for discussion! I want her out" she said.  Josh looked at her, anger bubbling out of him. "Fine, but I'm going with her" he said. He spun on his heel and walked out. He saw Bella at the stairs and looked at her, sadness filled his eyes. She turned around quickly and went back downstairs. She packed up all her stuff and ran out of the house. "Wait" called Josh behind her. He was carrying a bag. "What are you doing?" she said. "I'm coming with you." he answered. "Josh, that's stupid, you're not coming with me" she said. "You have a family, they need you". "I don't want to see them for a while, they where so rude back there, I can't look them in the eye anymore, and they'll probably never trust me again so what's the point?" he answered. "But they where right, Josh" she said. "I don't care' he said. They walked for a while in silence. Bella stopped at the train tracks at around noon, she dropped her bags and looked at Josh. "I can't do this anymore" she said. "Want to take a break?" he asked. "That's not what I mean" she said. "I can't keep running". "Bella, you can't turn yourself in" he said. "I'm putting everyone in danger, I can't go on" she said. "If Hazels gone, I don't want to be here anymore" she said. "But Bella, she's not gone, not completely" he said, walking towards her. 'I'm done' she said and she ran away, ran through the woods, not stopping for miles. She got to the other side of the woods and found more train tracks. She didn't hear anyone behind her, Josh mustn't have followed her. Tears filled her eyes. "I'm done, I can't do this anymore" she said. She heard a train from the distance, she crouched down and waited. "Bella, what are you doing?" I asked, panicking. This can't be real. The train was coming closer, and Bella didn't move. I knew what she was going to do. 'Bella, don't do this" I said. I saw the train up ahead, it was coming. Bella took a deep breath and looked to the sky. "Goodbye" she said. "Bella?" I said. The train was ten feet ahead, a tear left her eye and then, she jumped in front of it. "BELLA!!!" I cried.
