Can You Save Me?

chapter - 14

We got to my house and she came upstairs with me. I guessed my dad wasn't home, which was probably for the best. I grabbed one of my suitcases and put all of the clothes I could in there alone with the things in my bathroom with Annabelle's help.

"Should I bring the stuff on my bed?" I asked. She thought about it for a little bit and nodded. I quickly put it in a bag. I walked out really quick and grabbed a photo that my dad kept in the living room it was of my family: My dad, Caleb, my mom, and me. It was a really cute picture, but I knew my dad would be mad that i took it. 

I grabbed it and looked at it for a second before I heard Annabelle approaching. We didn't say anything and just looked at the picture. I felt my eyes watering.

"She's beautiful," Annabelle said quietly. I smiled slightly and let the tear roll down my cheek. 

We eventually loaded everything into my truck and I followed her to her apartment. We got there and she helped me unload her stuff. Her appartment was pretty small since only her and Noey lived there. She told me to just put my stuff in her room. I gladly did and she said that we were going out to eat since it was about 7. We got into her car and she drove to a small diner. We talked lightly and she made me laugh.

"So who was the guy who brought you into the hospital?" She asked grinning.

"What?" I asked raising an eyebrow.

"He was quite a hunk, if you ask me," She continued.

"What boy?" I asked louder.

"Weren't you with a boy that night?" She asked curiously.

"Well yeah, but," I said remembering what happened.

"Yeah. He was super adorable, but he had to leave," She said pouting slightly.

"Oh shit! Austin?!" I said groaning and covering my head with my arms.

"Yeah. He got mad at the doctors 'cause they weren't getting to you faster," She said seriously. I felt the blush come onto my cheeks. "You totally like him."

"That's going to be so embarassing," I said not looking up from my arms.

"It's cute. You could tell he really cares for you," she said with a hint of seriousnes.

"What even happened to me?" I asked looking up from my arms.

"Well when Austin rushed you to the hospital they took you away and tried to figure out what was wrong with you since nobody knew. Then you said you took some pills. With that information, they looked into it and immediatelly started pumping your stomach. With the intake of alcohol, it was really damaging your liver. So that's why you were at the hospital for a long time, to make sure nothing was in your blood stream. Then, they said they wanted to take you to a mental hospital which I refused to do and we left," Annabelle said looking sad.

"Wow," I said looking down slightly.

"Yeah," She said. The happy mood eventually came back after we got our food. Then we returned back to her house and i set up my bed on the floor next to her bed. She said I didn't have to go to the school for the rest of the week which I was thankful for. Before I went to bed, I decided to text Austin and say thank you. I said: thanks for everything austin (:. I was about to fall asleep when he texted back saying: no problem. are you okay? I responded: yeah fine thanks. He continued to ask me if i was going to school tomorrow. I said no, but asked if people were talking about me. He said that they thought I got alcohol poisoning. That was a good thing. I said goodnight after a while.

I woke up and realized Annabelle was gone. She had left a note by me saying that she had to go to work and that she'd be back at around four. I went into her kitchen and put some toaster strudels in the toaster, before I watched TV. I sat down on the couch and curled up in my comforter. I was on my phone and I realized I got an e-mail from my coach saying that I was on the team. I was pretty excited. I sent an e-mail back saying that I was very sick and I would be back on monday.
