I set down my phone. It was a Saturday morning and me, Serah and Jaylon are going to visit Jada. Jaylons red truck pulls into my drive way and I say goodbye to my mom and dad, then hop into the car. "Serah is going to meet us there" I tell Jaylon, he nods, "Yeah I know" His car looks different from last night. I guess I was a little drowsy. I cradle my arm, and sigh against the window. He pulls his car into the parking lot smoothly and I hop out.
"Room number for-"
"Jadaline, Jada, yes?" I nod as the nurse reads my mind, "How did you..." "She's one of the only two patients with any scheduled teenage visitors" She states, a bright smile stretching across her face. I have to force myself not to roll my eyes, and she leads us back. I first notice the board. It reads
Jadaline Miller
Attempted Suicide
Cracked skull
Broken hip
Visiting hours, 11:00 am - 4:00 Pm
My hands come up to my mouth. Cracked skull, broken hip.... "Attempted suicide?" Kayel whimpers. "No..." I wrap my hand around the door handle and slowly push it out. There she was laying in her bed, like I expected, white sheets, tubes and machines buzzing. But i never expected the rushing wave of dread, fear and sadness that rushed over me and flooded my entire body. All I could do was stand and stare.
Later that night i was laying bed in a mess of tears. I wish I could see her standing and bouncing, laughing and enjoying the life she had, well i guess she really wasn't that happy after all... I knew that Kayel would blame himself, but it wasn't his fault at all.
Later that night my mom comes into my room, she has this blank expression, well it's four am she looks tired, but like she's been crying. "Khloe, I am so, so sorry... Ja-Jada is-..."
"What is it mom?" I almost shout, but I know I have to keep my voice down, the rest of my family is probably fast asleep. She sits down on my bed and tucks her short brown hair behind her ears like she wants to look good for the news, she pulls her rose coloured vest over her shoulders and finally opens her mouth, but no words come out like the words are trapped in her throat. She bows her head and tears flow down her cheeks. I can already tell what happened. She doesn't have to say anything. I nod my head slowly and wrap my arms around her torso, she hugs me back and soon we are both crying.
It's Monday, so that means back to school. It's been a day since Jada has died and everyone is just kinda silent around the house, Brian and Olivia really liked Jada, she was nice and caring and always bought my while family Christmas presents, in fact now that i realize it, everything seems to be going by so slow, before i was ready for Christmas but now all I want to do is sleep. Brian is the first up this morning, he comes running into my room yelling. But happily. "Jj! Jj is here!!" Jj was their nickname for Jada because my brother had trouble saying D's. "What?" I ask falling out of bed, "She's here!" I whip my hair up in a bun and pull on some slippers and run downstairs, only to find her mom standing in the doorway. Oh, Jada and her mom are almost identical with their looks, it's scary close too. No wonder Brian thought it was Jada. "Hi Mrs.Miller..." I say bowing my head, "Good morning Khloe!" She beams, she almost looks... happy. But not quite. "The deputy would like to speak with you this afternoon" She tells me. I nod again, "About- Jada?" I ask, just managing to squeak out her name like it's some sort of curse word that should not be said by any means, but really it's just a lost friends name. I'm in my room getting ready, I'm wearing black skinny jeans and a copper top with decorated strap sleeves. My hair is in a braid down the back and I put on my makeup and run out the door. There is a black suv in my driveway, and three men inside, all dressed in black. Sandi is gone and a man leads me in. I have already told my mom what happened and she knows where I'm going, I think...
When we arrive, Roxanna and Kayel are sitting around a table. There are 5 other guys all in black as well, one of them pulls out a chair for me and the other throws down a document. "Read" he demands. I pick it up and pull a piece of paper from the envelope.
Name: Jadaline
Last Name: Miller
Middle Name: Mary
Immediate Family: Kayel Miller, Katie Miller
Eye witnesses: Roxanna Quinn, Khloe Brown, Jaylon Winters
"Hey Jay didn't see anything!" I protest as I throw the document down and the man stands up and picks it up off the floor. I had a deep burning hatred inside of me and all I wanted to do was to fight for Jada, "Don't drag Jay into this it was Rox's fault! All of it!!" I find myself screaming. I stand up and storm to the door only to find that it's locked. "Don't worry" A man says placing his hands on my shoulders. I shake him off of me. I don't want to be here. I just want Jada back. She didn't want to die, everything is lies, there is a quick flash of a bright light and then everything slips to black
